The decision over who replaces Ange Postecoglou lies entirely with Nottingham Forest owner Marinakis, who is looking for his third head coach of the season already.
He knows this next managerial appointment is key in trying to produce some stability and belief in the dressing room and amongst the supporter base after a damaging period for the club.
In that regard, Forest’s hierarchy currently believe Dyche is the best man to steady the ship, organise and motivate the players, and crucially keep the club in the Premier League despite having ambitions of finishing further up the table.
Another key demand from the owner is for whoever takes over to maximise the significant investment that was made in the playing squad in the summer.
Forest spent more than £180m in the transfer window, and £130m of that talent wasn’t in the matchday squad against Chelsea. This was another area of dispute between the owner and Postecoglu, MEZIESBLOG learnt.
Despite the importance of the appointment, Forest’s bosses are keen to move quickly, with the Europa League game against Porto to come on Thursday.
