2023/24 Sean Dyche

If he is saying that then, why given the time he was there did he not look at a club like Bilbao. They can only sign Basque players, so players from Sociedad and a few much lower league clubs, which means they hardly have any transfer budget but have decent money for wages and everything they do is focused on producing their own players and improving their academy. Why in all those years did he never try and setup a proper youth system that could have really benefitted him and Burnley as a club in the long run.
It's a different situation,in the Basque Country youth players see it as an honour to play for Bilbao ,young lads from Lancashire want to play for Man U or City not Burnley.
 
But why did he fail at Chelsea?



They had the biggest squad in the Prem.
Every team has a 25 man squad, also when injuries hit squad size doesn't really come into it, especially when it's with key players in key areas and despite the influx of new names they never bought in a decent forward for him, Nkunku got injured almost straight away.

They don't have to come from Lancashire, Garner is a wool and he went to United and came through their academy. It's not just England, there is Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. Far more knowledgeable people than me have labeled this at Dyche before about the Burnley academy thing so it's nothing new. It's more a principle thing, if you know you can't compete in the market then you look at other routes, academies are pure profit and to a club like Burnley should be at the top of the list.

It’s called basic maths mate
Dyche started this season with a 200mil squad, before buying Beto and Chermiti. Iraloa didbt have a squad that expensive. Also he’s improved their style of play and he’s done it inside a season, he got beat at Everton 3-0 in October, think he lost his first 6 games, incredible what’s he’s done in that time

Dyche is playing the same way he was when he got the job and for 10yrs at Burnley. And it will be same next season. Toss of a coin football, let see if we can score first of a set peice then we may have a chance today. He had 40mil why wound another 60 make a huge difference
Where to even start...

First, Bournemouths squad is valued ABOVE Everton's on Transfermarkt so this idea that he had little to work with(outside of the 8 new players he got to chose, lucky him) is absurd. Second, Iraloa got 48 points without drama and Dyche got 44 with horrible drama. Wow, how revolutionary that one has improved their team by 9 points, the other has improved their team by 8 points. Hows that for basic maths?
