For all his footballing IQ faults, Lampard was a good point of connection between the club and the fans as people liked him. Dyche does not have a ‘bed side manner’ when it comes to the fans. I agree with you that Dyche is certainly not suited to getting the supporters on side. It’s only a side issue as you get them onside with performances from the team, but he’s not a good relationship manager when it comes to the supporters.
And the highest praise he can usually give is "I've never had a problem with the fans."Dyche doesn't want anything to do with the fans. You can almost see him sigh when the Everton interviewer inevitably asks him to praise the crowd. That's absolutely fine if you're getting results...

He could not get enough of fan platitudes last season, went out of his way to get the fans behind the team acknowledging the role the Everton fan can have on lifting players . Said back then it's a double edged sword, take the fan base for granted and it will bite back hard, alas in has.Can you blame him?
Brilliant post.That fella at Euston is a clown but the fanbase is angry and rightly so. But it's bigger than the manager or players and has been for a long, long time.
You can't keep asking a fanbase for patience and calm when in the last few seasons we've been false accused of headlocks by the board, tried desperately to get into bed with criminals, and hired absolutely whopper managers. The club needs to hold its hands up, apologise and make more of the effort to rebuild the bond.
I think if Dyche sat down with Giulia Bould for an extended interview it would help him massively. Let him tell us what his impressions of EFC are and what he thinks has gone wrong previously. And hire Alan Myers back, or someone who did what he used to do. Be the saint who listens to the miserable gripes of fans and yet stays always polite and tries to help if he/she can.
Put on some proper events at Goodison, and make the ticket prices sensible so we can sell it out or come close. Charging £55 upwards for the likes of Drenthe and Strac. As if rubbing in supporters face how farcically bad we've been over the years. Instead try book the likes of Gareth Barry, Nigel Martyn, Kanchelskis, etc. Pienaar and Jelavic to reminisce about that Christmas 2012 win at the death against Spurs. Carsley and his winner in the derby. Amo for the 1995 semi. Is any of this stuff beyond the realms of possibility?!
So many little things that can be done that would make such a difference that the club is too clueless to think of.
