Sean Dyche, who left Everton back in January, has been appointed manager at Nottingham Forest under volatile owner Evangelos Marinakis.

Dyche was considered by Rangers in recent weeks before he was selected as Nottingham Forest’s replacement for Ange Postecoglou, who lasted only 39 days at the City Ground.

Boosting his limited achievements while with Everton across an admittedly difficult period for any manager, suffering not one but two points deductions, Dyche was proud of how he got through it:

“I’ve got great pride in what we did. Not just me, but everyone. I said, people will never understand the truth of being in there when that happens and you have to deal with it and you have to,” said the 54-year-old.

“So, I said as a manager, I’ve got a massive amount of pride in what I did and my staff did at Everton Football Club.”

Wonder how the Forest owner will enjoy Dyche after sacking Nuno for "boring" football?

Good luck to Dyche and Co.

He had his moments with us, but he was responsible for some of the worst football I have seen in 70 years as a supporter.

Dyche will marinate in Marinakis hot sauce.

A match made in Hell.

Poor Forest fans who might be going from a manager who doesn't like to defend to the possibility of one who doesn't like to attack...

Well only from a distance: kick into their half and see if you can get it back.

I always remember Dyche helped Everton stay in the Premier League...

Is that why he is going to Nottm Forest?

It's a much tougher Premier League at the bottom this season, John. At least one of the new boys will probably stay up and it will be a fight to the end.

Nothing like the last two seasons.

Is Sean Dyche the new Sam Allardyce? The master of the Great Escape? Houdini?

It seems that soccer has a job for everyone, don't knock Dyche he had his strengths and weaknesses.

I like the fella but not his football that Evertonians were never going to settle for.

Whichever way you look at it, Dyche kept Everton in the Premier League.

You always pass failure on the way to success!

Dyche in charge at Forest.

Will he get them out of the woods?

Sorry, guys....

John;

Does that mean Ange got it the wrong way around?

Ange is foolish. Why on earth he took that job, I'll never know. A team that was over-performing based on defensive strength was a terrible choice for an attack-minded manager. Kamikaze stuff... though I'm sure the money comes in handy.

Dyche is smart. He'll convince everyone at Forest that they're going down and the problem is the defence, the team's fitness, their snoods, and anything else that he's comfortable dealing with.

Then he'll focus on those things and they'll avoid relegation. He'll be declared a miracle worker by some.

It will be interesting to see if Dyche really is a completely defensive-minded coach now that he is going into a club with some very good young footballers.

It wouldn't surprise me to see him surprise a few people and I'm sure working for the Big Greek Owner should be a piece of piss after managing Everton in such horrific circumstances.

It shouldn't take us long to find out.

Ange is apparently going home to Australia, £7M richer, for less than 2 months work. I know what you meant, Ernie, but there's nothing silly about anyone who can find himself that kind of gig.

Never a fan of Dyche, but wish him well. Probably the right man at the time, but never a long-term solution for Everton.

I guess we'll never truly know how much of a shit-show the club was at the time.

Good for him. It’ll be interesting to see how he does with a genuinely good and big squad and an owner who is spending plenty of money.

Good luck to him. He helped keep us up in difficult circumstances. Never liked his football. He will definitely play woods

As others have said, I wish him well.
He kept us in the Prem. when others may not have.
Forest have only 5pts at this time so the owner is right to be concerned.
He will at least get them out of trouble and steady a ship thats wobbling.
