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.

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?

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.
