He oversaw just six wins in 18 Premier League games, leading to fire his third manager of the season.

Murphy, 48, had advised Forest to stick with Dyche during an appearance on , claiming no other manager was better suited to a relegation battle.

He said: “I think for this battle at the bottom you couldn’t have a better manager than him.

“He’s been there and done it, he stays calm.

“I think they would be crazy to get rid of him but it doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen.

“I don’t think there’s a manager you could bring in that is as capable as he is.”

Dyche was sacked, 54, shortly after Match of the Day aired, leading some fans to poke fun at Murphy.

One said: “Aged well Danny.”

Another added: “This aged like milk.”

It meant Dyche had won just two of his last ten games in the Premier League – placing his position under increasing scrutiny.

And the manager – who had a contract until 2027 but lasted just 25 games and 114 days – admitted afterwards that he would not be surprised if his time is now up.

Just hours before he was dismissed, Dyche, 54, said: “I’ve never been questioned here on anything about it. 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.

“What I’m saying is owners are owners. They don’t warm you up, it just comes and that’s the way it goes.”
