Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is reportedly growing increasingly furious with the club’s disastrous slide this season, with sources suggesting Sean Dyche’s job is now hanging by a thread as pressure intensifies ahead of a must-win clash against Wolves.
Dyche was appointed Forest boss on October 21, taking over from Ange Postecoglou, who lasted just eight matches following the earlier dismissal of Nuno Espirito Santo. Despite Dyche recording 10 wins in 24 games, Forest remain stuck deep in the relegation scrap — a situation the club hierarchy never expected after another major summer of spending.
Insiders claim Marinakis is struggling to understand how Forest have once again ended up battling for survival, especially after ambitions of pushing towards the top six were privately set before the campaign began.
And with Forest already cycling through three managers this season, it’s believed Marinakis would not hesitate to make an unprecedented fourth managerial change, but only if the perfect replacement becomes available.
Marco Silva Emerges as Marinakis’ “Dream” Replacement
TEAMtalk reports that Fulham boss Marco Silva is the standout name Marinakis would love to bring to the City Ground.
Silva is currently one of several high-profile Premier League managers approaching the end of his contract this summer, alongside Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola and Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner.
Crucially, negotiations over a new Fulham deal have dragged on without a breakthrough — a situation reportedly giving Marinakis growing belief that a move could be possible.
The Forest owner is said to be particularly confident because of his strong relationship with Silva from their time together at Olympiakos, where Silva delivered a record-breaking Greek league title and built a lasting bond with Marinakis.
Forest see Silva as the ideal man to bring stability, structure, and finally deliver the long-term project Marinakis has been desperate to establish.
Fulham Fight Back as Tony Khan Sends Clear Message
Fulham, however, remain determined to keep their manager and have publicly insisted they expect Silva to stay.
Vice-chairman and sporting director Tony Khan recently stressed his strong relationship with Silva, expressing confidence that the Portuguese coach will remain at Craven Cottage for the long haul.
Still, sources suggest Marinakis is ready to move quickly if Silva gives any indication he is open to leaving — leaving Dyche’s future increasingly uncertain.
Forest Transfer Fears: Anderson & Gibbs-White Attract Big Interest
Forest’s problems may not end with the dugout, with TEAMtalk also reporting major summer interest in two of the club’s biggest stars:
Elliot Anderson
Manchester City are believed to be lining up a huge bid for the midfielder, with any deal expected to cost over £80 million.
Morgan Gibbs-White
Aston Villa are reportedly considering a bold move, while Tottenham remain keen after almost signing him last summer.
Dyche Under Massive Pressure as Forest Consider Next Step
With relegation danger growing and the club’s ambitions collapsing, Dyche is now facing a critical period — and Forest’s next result could decide whether Marinakis finally pulls the trigger on yet another managerial shake-up.
