It was not supposed to be this way for Nottingham Forest.
One game away from the Champions League in May. Now, in October, they sit in the Premier League relegation zone with a third manager in six weeks.
Sean Dyche has replaced Ange Postecoglou on a deal until the summer of 2027, following the Australian's sacking just 17 minutes after Saturday's 3-0 defeat by Chelsea - ending his 39-day reign.
Postecoglou was bullish, telling the squad winning the Europa League was a target, but he left as Forest's and the Premier League's shortest-serving permanent manager.
