Yeah it'll definitely be next season. In the Moyes years we could've absorbed any of the discussed points deduction numbers.
If we get enough points this season to stay up, it means we've had a pretty remarkable run since Dyche came in. Is it inconceivable that we could get an extra 12 points next season as the players get more into his system? Maybe Simms steps up or Dominic Calvert-Lewin is miraculously fit for more of it? Absolutely not out the question - 4 wins in the sort of games he wins that Lampard loses (e.g. Wolves, Southampton, maybe Leicester + 1 more home win, or even 3 more away draws vs this season's losses). deduction anything from the 5-10 mark and we still might not get relegated.
As long as it IS a different season, its not definitively the end for us if it happens. and actually, if the scenario above came about wouldn't that be better than a transfer ban?
