Which is to Dyche's testament.
Take one/both of Branthwaite & DCL out the team and throw in 1-2 promoted teams like Ipswich/Leicester who likely have more about them than the 3 turkeys who have just been relegated... and we are a few injuries / poor form away from a battle. Relegation I couldn't envisage, but stagnation in the bottom 6 only continues to hurt our revenue & does nothing in attracting better sponsorships etc to the club.
I think many of our fans (and the incoming owners) are living in cuckoo land if they think going with what we have got will see us around the top half, especially when both Coleman & Young are a further year older.
