00:00114 days after his appointment, Sean Deitch was removed as Nottingham Forest boss, lasting
00:06a measly 25 games at the city ground.
00:11Deitch was unable to stop the club's slide towards the relegation zone, receiving his
00:16marching orders after a goalless draw against Wolverhampton.
00:21They fired 35 efforts on goal without finding the target, and it proved to be the final
00:26straw as Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis pulled the trigger once again.
00:31From a top seven finish last season, they are now flirting with the bottom three.
00:36Just three points separates them from 18th place, West Ham.
00:41We haven't been good enough, and yeah, you can't pinpoint on an individual.
00:47We all have to take responsibility as a club.
00:51To say it's been a turbulent season at Forest would be an understatement.
00:54So much so that they are now onto their fourth manager this term.
01:03If it's any consolation for Deitch, he lasted longer than his predecessor Ange Postacoglu,
01:08who was fired after only 39 days in charge last year.
01:14Deitch was hired to steer Forest away from relegation danger, and a 3-0 win at Liverpool in November
01:20was as good as it got for the Englishman.
01:24Pleased for lots of reasons, pleased for the players mainly.
01:27I spoke openly when I first got here about having three managers in short succession,
01:33players trying to realign again.
01:35They have done very well with it, and I commend them on it.
01:39I think that's a very solid marker against the top side today.
01:44More solid results in January earned Deitch a nomination for Premier League Manager of the Month.
01:49But two weeks into February, he is now out of a job.
01:54His sacking is the latest chapter in an utterly chaotic season at Nottingham Forest,
01:59where relegation to the championship is a realistic possibility.
02:04With a bottom three finish looming large, Forest have entered uncharted territory in the Premier League
02:09by appointing a fourth manager this term.
