Nottingham Forest players are poised to follow a strict rule when Sean Dyche takes the reins at the City Ground. Forest are about to make their second managerial appointment of the season, having given the boot to both Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou already.

Nottingham Forest are in advanced talks to appoint former Burnley and Everton boss Sean Dyche as their manager.

Sean Dyche has verbally agreed to be Nottingham Forest boss; Ange Postecoglou tried to change teams style but failed to win and sacked after 39 days; former Forest trainee Dyche will revert tactics to suit squad which thrived under pragmatic Nuno but can he get them firing again?

After spending 18 years as a player, Dyche transitioned into managing in 2011. Dyche has built his coaching career on an old-school style of football, thriving at smaller clubs in the English top flight by frustrating richer teams deploying more modern tactics.

According to reports, Nottingham Forest are 'closing in' on former Everton boss Sean Dyche, who is 'ready to accept' an offer to replace Ange Postecoglou.

Kevin: Sean Dyche is a sensible choice as he knows the club, fits more with Nuno's style which was successful, and would steady the ship. Peter: As a lifelong Forest supporter it pains me to say it, but Forest are currently a poisoned chalice.
