Sunderland - Nottingham Forest

[Reds73]

Seriously the Dyche hate is well over the top and frankly tedious.

You may remember Postecoglu and Nino never played Omari at all. Dyche was the one to introduce him.

The price tag was too high but we do have a good player with a lot of potential

Normally in a dressing room, the players not getting picked have gripes with the manager.
When Dyche was in charge, he was universally disliked amongst all players, even those he picked every week ! analysts and basically everyone outside of Nick Randall and Johnny Owen.

Stone and Woan were christened dumb and dumber by the squad !

Fair enough and if they didn’t respond to the coaching staff it’s time to go. The growth in player power is getting concerning though, not just us, Tottenham Chelsea and others forcing a change. Are the players correct or are they being found out?

Genuine question to you, what did the squad make of Ange? Did they want him to stay?

The players were very upset when Nuno left, he was a Father figure to a lot of them, and it was like a family.

Re Ange - could never work, players weren't recruited to play his football, and the players Didnt trust the all out attack approach. Also we never got the best version of Ange. He was still scarred and cooked from the Spurs job.

Dyche - just weird methods, Didnt gel with the squad. They were trying hard for the club, as all players are very grateful and like Marinakis, and feel a debt of gratitude, but as the weeks went on, the training methods, they way he spoke to them, they weren’t having him or his assistants. Marinakis had no option as the 11 that were playing just weren’t having him either !
