Q: How do you reflect on your time at Nottingham Forest?
I've experienced a four-year cycle starting from the under-18s to currently managing the B-team, witnessing players progress and develop.
Ange Postecoglou out, Sean Dyche in at Nottingham Forest?
Q: What would your feeling be if Dyche was the next manager?
I'd get behind him. I think if he was to be given the chair with the resources to back his wishes, he would evolve the style of football.

Q: Is this story kite flying by Forest, do you think, to gauge public opinion?
It feels like a certain air of inevitability now that Ange's days may be numbered, and it's a case of when not if.
