He's getting zero credit for anything he's done this season from me, it's like a guidebook to poor football club ownership and I find the way he carries on embarrassing. If he doesn't learn some harsh lessons it won't be long before the supporters turn on him.

Fair enough.
But he didn't come into the club this season.
There is a bigger picture.
And that is when he took over from Fawaz we were heading for League 1 again and one breath from being wound up and death.
Now we are PL and Europa League.
That is how I prefer to look at it.

This season has been a car crash, however, EM has done wonders for the club.
We were on life support when he took us over.
Yes mistakes made this season, but he owns it, and will put it right.

Generally appointments within the club have been poor and may cost the big man money and pride if we slip into the Championship. I love the ambition but the timescale to acheive his goals is to rapid, maybe a season in the Champiuonship will be good for the club to reset and plan for our return to the PL the following season.

Cant fault the owners ambitions, where we are but we can certainly critise his actions and lets not forget luck has also played apart. If we can be critical of managers, players, even fans getting blame, they why can we not be critical of Marankis?
Every decision made at the club runs by him, he has only made 2 good mangerial appointments in his time at Forest. Wasted millions on which ever agent he is in bed with at that time. No strategy, no sense. Gone down the Watford route rather than Brighton and Brentford. The likes of Bournemouth run so much better than us.
Edu, another waste of money, the only direction he has taken us is down.
We have spent more money on new TVs and sacking managers that it would cost to buy the land of the City Ground from the council, yet they still havent done that. No long term thinking.
Oh well, as the Owners says, we are Nottingham Forest, we always win. Next year, its back to be serious about promotion and kicking the can down the street for another 5 years on a new stadium.
But hey lets blame it all on the latest manager, another one the owner appointed. Brian Clough famously stated, “if an Owner (chairman) sacks the manager he initially apppointed, he should go as well”.
Now who is next up in line?

With Dyche you have to question the "old boys network"..........how many ex-players whispered to take on Dyche Woan and Stone............they are more to blame perhaps than the owner for listening.
Dyche was not liked by Edu or EM........but the old boys network pushed it.

There wouldn't be any owners if that was the case.
Cloughie also said he walked on the Trent.
But he never did.

Utter Work Nonsense. Nottingham Forest sack Sean Dyche. Nominated for Manager of the Month for January. Last 6 PL games: 2 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss. Wolves draw was undeniably poor. No goals from 35 attempts. But Forest’s best finisher is 34 and been injured since October. When you are on your fourth manager of the season, the problem might not simply be them, it might also be you - recruitment, culture and the right leadership from owner and sporting director. Marinakis has done a lot for Forest, but he's embarrassing them now. Edu also an issue. Forest fans deserve better than this poor leadership. #NFFC
The only bit I disagree on is the supporters deserve better because a lot of entitled idiots don’t.

To keep Dyche on results of last 6 PL games, is an incredible simplistic take on the situation, I expect more from people who's only job is to watch and comment on football, but media output is all about clicks these days.

Yeah I mean if you go back 4 more games, its 2 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses as an example. The last 6 games thing is tiring.

Trouble is...........IF we are not relegated then NOT ONE OF THEM will say well done EM he was right to sack Dyche.
They will also write how the manager did a wonderful job despite EM............cause they hate him.
Thats why most of these journos are just tossers.

The sacking Dyche bit isn’t what EM is getting criticised for. It’s everything leading up to this point. The managers are not the problem. It’s like entering a VW Golf in an F1 race and blaming the car and driver when you don’t win.
