Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche has dismissed speculation about his job security despite mounting pressure as the club fights relegation. The Forest boss insists one defeat won't determine his future, even as the team faces Wolves knowing West Ham could overtake them in the standings.

Dyche, nominated for Premier League Manager of the Month for January, emphasized his open communication with owner Evangelos Marinakis. He highlighted the realistic expectations both parties share about the club's current situation, noting that Forest went unbeaten in four games before their 3-1 loss to Leeds.

Marinakis has already sacked two managers this season, but Dyche remains confident in his position. He pointed to the club's recent struggles and the challenging circumstances they inherited, arguing that the Forest hierarchy understands the need for patience. The manager's defiant stance comes as Forest prepare for a crucial match against Wolves that could determine their Premier League survival chances.
