At the edge of the precipice

[Nymzee]

Oh, it's that time of a Sunday is it.

 

[Billy Dean]

Wouldn't you love to see Dyche taking Kenny to task?

Imagine his reaction to DCL turning up in a frock before crying off again.

Dyche wanted to sign Kenny for Burnley

Lampard is a chancer, nothing about the man suggests he has the nous or know-how to guide us through this fight. An appointment driven by name recognition and the need to rebuild some of the damage done by that absolute travesty of a man, Benitez.

Back before Lampard was appointed, when other candidates were showing up on sky sports news to detail their levels of insanity, I was quietly suggesting that we should hire Sean Dyche. Not only would he have crawled here for a chance to work for a club with a post Neolithic-era fanbase his departure would have weakened one of our main rivals fight to survive the drop.

Also, Dyche coaching our gang over overpaid, spineless mercenaries (and young Gordon) would have been excellent sport.

Now, I read a thread extolling the virtues of Alladyce over Lampard and ask you all to consider. Which of the premier league's Red Adairs gets your call?

Mate literally 90% of our fans were chomping at the bit for Lampard and were about to start riots if Periera was appointed. The board aren't going to sack him and leave a new man with only 10 games to go. And like any manager Lampard needs time. Benitez was afforded too much time hence the mess we're in so Lampard deserves close to the same

Dyche is better than Potterball.

Took a skint Burnley into europe.

Could have done worse - if we went down I would get him in.

That's got to be a future GOT classic debate once Lampard is punted and we're glumly contemplating playing Cardiff away. Dycheball or Potterball. I'd even go as far as using cheese on Foreverblue92 as the third option in a poll ?

I agree you can’t polish a turd. The lads have looked sharp on training but mentality is a different thing. The one thing I will call him on is the insistence of playing Coleman who is struggling and hasn’t been at it for 3 years. It’s tough but he’s paid to make tough decisions.

Only so Tarkowski and Mee could take turns at making him cry.

Problem is is that Benitez bought a 19 year old replacement who'd only played the equivalent minutes of 10 games in the Scottish league

If Dyche can't get a tune out of a squad that usually gives everything imagine how he would cope with our lot

That’s true but I would give him a go at the moment and see how he goes because we can keep Coleman on the bench as cover.

Prison rules, he would straighten out the biggest one and then the rest would fall into line.

He would paste Mina back to Colombia and have the others eating out of his hand.

I don't get why the response of so many of our fans to our ineptitude is to pine for something worse.

Is it some kind of deep self-loathing and desire for self-flagellation borne of the city's large Catholic population, or what?

These players are terrible, they lack fight, snide and nous so would be hopeless led by a no-mark dinosaur like Dyche. Even if by some miracle Dyche kept us up, we would continue to be a limited side, diabolical to watch and always flirting with relegation, because that's all he will ever be.

Lampard has displayed some extreme naivety in his time in charge, but he obviously wants to build something and may be capable of doing it. The terrible players we have and the fact that we have him learning on the job may see us down. But, you know what, Benitez was an experienced anti-football manager and was utterly clueless too.

Ancelotti showed his nous in organising this terrible side but still getting some good players into it like James. Neither Dyche nor Benitez think that way.

Edge of the precipice? We just swandived right off it mate
