Yes 100%.
As I said multiple times, he did seem like a dud -- based on Dyche not using him.
You were pro Dyche and I also felt that defence first would see us stay up (it worked until it didnt). Logically that type of manager would "know a defender"...
...or be expected to youd think?
Im definitely pro Thelwell with 3 points on this:
1: Mangala, OBrien and Nuamah were all Lyon players with their owner thinking hed be our owner. Logic dictates that he'd send his players over to help keep us up and improve their value with premier league games.
2: The Maupay (Thelwell didnt sign him as reported by itk posters) deal and also the Beto deals seem to be sticks to beat Thelwell with -- no matter the reality.
3: Under Dyche the signing was indeed a "dud" no matter the player as he was excluded from the pitch. Clearly under Moyes he looks a similar player to Branthwaite in terms of wanting him to develop and believing he could develop into an elite player.
Branthwaite and O'Brien as a future pairing strikes me as being pretty frightening for opposing centre forwards.
Looks great business and questions need to be asked of Dyche.
