Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche gestures on the touchline during the Premier League match against Wolves at the City Ground
Sean Dyche put the ball in owner Evangelos Marinakis’ court after a 0-0 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers increased the pressure on the Nottingham Forest head coach.
A frustrating stalemate at the City Ground against the club propping up the table did little to ease the Reds’ relegation fears. And although the general feeling at the club was conveyed as being carrying on as normal, the scrutiny on Dyche will only have grown.
Marinakis cut a frustrated figure watching from the stands as the hosts registered 35 shots at goal without forcing a breakthrough. Forest are three points above the bottom three with 12 games to go.

Quizzed on whether he felt he still had the hierarchy’s backing, Dyche said: “The owner has been fair to me, without a shadow of a doubt, and fair on the situation. If anyone chooses to change in football now, that's their decision. People change, we've all seen it.
“People can demand change and then it's up to owners whether they change or not. I just work very hard. I care about this club, I've made that clear, and so do my staff.
“I'm working very hard. I'm not saying the players are not, by the way, but we certainly are as a staff, that's what you do.
“If the owner wants to make a change, then that's up to him, and that's the way football is now. That's just the reality of it.
“But I'm not questioning the owner here. He's been absolutely fair with me from the beginning to the end, and I've been fair with him - I’ve told him the truth every step of the way.”
The Reds were booed off at the full-time whistle and jeers rang out from the stands. Dyche is the club’s third manager of the campaign, following on from Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou, and now there are question marks over whether there will be a fourth. There have been suggestions Marinakis had a meeting with some of the senior players after the game.

“What I'm saying is owners are owners,” Dyche said. “They don't warm you up, it (the news) just comes and that's the way it goes.
“I'm a realist. I understand. The noise here has changed significantly since the last few games.
“The only thing I'm frustrated with is it's not a terrible run (of results). But that's still the modern way football is. Demand is high, and that's changed enormously in the last two years. Demand is getting higher and higher and higher and higher. Expectation immediately grows. Sign some players, expectation grows.
“If people want change here and the owner wants to change, that is entirely up to him. But there's no lack of respect from me to the owner, he's been first class for me since I've been here.

“If he wants to make a change, that is entirely up to him. And if the fans want to change, that's entirely up to them. All I do is work very, very hard at a club that I care about.”
