    We asked for your thoughts on Ange Postecoglou's future, and whether Sean Dyche would be a good replacement if the Australian manager leaves the City Ground.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Dave: I want Ange to be successful and hope he can turn things around. If he does not, the more I think about it I would not be opposed to Sean Dyche. He did a good job for Everton under extremely difficult circumstances.

    Ian: If you thought the reaction to Ange was extreme, expect worse if Dyche is hired. What we don't want is fans turning on the owner. He has made his first significant error in sacking Nuno Espirito Santo and hiring Ange. I'm also not a fan of Ange, but I'd rather give him more time than appoint Dyche, whose style of play is not for us or the players we have bought. There is talk also of Rafael Benitez - not sure he is a good fit either, but he is perhaps more palatable than Dyche

    Peter: Dyche is who we should have appointed once Nuno had got his engineered exit granted. Appointing Ange has been Evaangelos Marinakis' worst ever decision - and this is someone who once appointed Chris Hughton. Dyche would implement a similar style that has served us so well, so give him until the end of the season and we can reassess the position then.

    Kevin: Absolutely not Dyche. He is a survivor who can get a tune out of average players, but we need a winner who can improve quality players. We should stick as we are until Christmas, unless we keep getting hammered. Marco Silva would be able to do a job if he can be influenced over.

    Dave: I would take Dyche over Ange any day of the week. We currently have the leakiest defence in the whole of the league and so we need somebody to stop the rot. Dyche is a defence-minded manager and much more in the Nuno mould.

  2. What next for Forest? Will Postecoglou stay or go? And do you want Dyche?published at 08:25 BST 13 October

    We reported over the weekend that it is understood Nottingham Forest will consider Sean Dyche as a replacement for Ange Postecoglou should they decide to part with their under-pressure head coach.

    Dyche has been out of work since leaving Everton in January, lives relatively close to Nottingham and was a youth player at Forest at the start of his career.

    Forest will not be required to pay any compensation should they move for Dyche, and that could be a factor in the club's choice of any replacement.

    So, what do you think will happen next? Will Postecoglou be given time to turn things around, or are his Forest days numbered? If they are, is Dyche a suitable replacement, or is there someone else you would like to see in the dugout?
