Nottingham Forest have taken just one point from their first seven games of the new season and are without a win in 13 games; Hughton dismissed following defeat at home to Middlesbrough; Forest are currently three points adrift at the bottom. Nottingham Forest have sacked Chris Hughton after six defeats in their opening seven league games left the club bottom of the Championship with one point.

Having already overseen Forest's worst start to a season in years, Hughton's final game in charge was a loss to Middlesbrough at the City Ground on Wednesday. A statement from the club said: "Nottingham Forest can confirm that Chris Hughton has been relieved of his duties as first-team manager.

Chris joined the club in a difficult period for everyone in football and around the world and we thank him for the way he has conducted himself during his tenure.

Former Newcastle United, Birmingham City, Norwich City and Brighton boss Hughton, who was appointed in October with Forest bottom of the league with zero points, won 14 of his 53 games in charge.

Forest said first-team coach Steven Reid will take temporary charge of the first team as interim head coach. Reid joined the club in August in a full-time role after previously combining coaching duties between the Championship side and Steve Clarke's Scotland backroom staff.

The defeat to Middlesbrough left Forest without a win in 13 matches stretching back to last season, in which Hughton guided the club to a 17th-place position, finishing nine points above the relegation zone.

Hughton did a great job for us at Birmingham City and has proven to be a good manager at most other clubs he's managed if not all.

However, you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear so perhaps their next appointment at Forrest should be Harry Houdini? Reply posted by Suffolk old boy, at 16 Sep Suffolk old boy. Suffolk old boy replied: Don't mention the Canaries fans, he was too defensive with them too.

You can't survive in this league at every week. Club in Turmoil - Sack the manager. RiotZappa replied: Yep.

Never the players Or board Or transfer policy Or bad investments Or stupid wages Always the manager. All I can say is, now see if a new manager can do better with the same owners and players.. Then decide what was correct. Comment posted by circle7, at 16 Sep circle7. Sacking Hughton might make a short term difference but the club needs a big overhaul to get it back challenging at the top of the Championship.

James replied: The football world has drastically altered from those times, sadly, and not for the better for those of us who have followed Forest since What applies now did not apply then.

But if you sign poor players, either technically or mentally, they are going to play poorly and lose games. If they're overpaid, who gave them those contracts? It is a simple game but it's simple for the opposition, too.

The perpetual cycle. Clubs fail to apreciate how the board and the directors need to think and act strategically with a long-term plan. It's not about one season. And it's not the manager's fault when the senior staff can't plan properly. Foreset have been a mes for years and they're not the only ones.
