Nottingham Forest great Des Walker believes the club is now in good hands with the partnership of owner Evangelos Marinakis and manager Sean Dyche.
Walker says Dyche is an upgrade on his predecessor Ange Postecoglou.

He told The Sun: “It’s always good to see an Englishman in the English league. I think he’ll do well. I believe in football that you start by keeping clean sheets. Forest under Ange were leaking goals. The goals were going in regularly.
“Dyche coming in, I’m sure he will tighten it up and start from the back.
“Going forward, they’ve got plenty of technical players that can hurt people.
“He’s starting with a decent squad, so it’s just a matter of getting his enthusiasm, honesty and stamp on the team. And it takes time.
“Potentially with the owner they’ve got and the squads that they’ve been amassing, then the sky’s the limit.
“At the end of the day, you want to get yourself in that top five in the Premier League. Last year they were up there challenging.
“I think they were always going to be a little bit short. Forest are not quite there yet but I think you’ve got to walk before you can run.”
