Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is reportedly considering a shock move to replace Sean Dyche with Fulham manager Marco Silva. Despite Dyche’s perfect start to the season with a 2-0 win over FC Porto in the Europa League, his side’s 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Sunday has raised concerns.
Dyche acknowledged that his team needs to improve, saying, “There’s a lot of work to be done… it showed particularly in the first half today.” With Forest struggling in the league table, having scored just five Premier League goals, Marinakis may be tempted to make a change.
According to reports, Marinakis has a good relationship with Silva and has previously targeted him. Silva has stabilized Fulham as a Premier League club and has been praised as an “incredible” manager. However, Forest may want to stick with Dyche, who has already shown promise with a win over Porto and has a track record of guiding teams to safety.
Given the turbulent start to the season, including the brief tenure of Ange Postecoglou, Forest need stability, and Dyche’s appointment has had a positive effect on the fanbase and players, including Morgan Gibbs-White. Despite the temptation to make a change, Forest should prioritize stability and give Dyche more time to turn things around.
