Mark my words. By midnight we'll have at least 3 THREE signings in the bag. As much as I don't like this board and think they're useless there's no way Dyche, with all the negotiating power he had, would not have gotten commitments to a few transfers in. And they'll be late given timings of the new manager.

To be honest I'm more surprised we've not seen someone like Holgate or Mina leave just to help balance the books a bit.
Bump.
 
It could be worth looking to recall some of the loans if that's possible, given the circumstances

I'm not sure Moise Kean would actually help the squad morale though. Dobbin is another one although maybe not going to add much to our firepower

Branthwaite also, although we have plenty of centre backs
 

If Frank had stayed, Danjuma may well have joined, it could have helped momentum in this window

But many fans wanted Frank out of course due to the bad run....

This is far from over though - all that makes sense is to get behind the team now

I don't think Frank should have stayed, we were obviously a sinking ship. I did however propose the benefits of him staying for the next 2 fixtures though as 1) that would have allowed us to concentrate on the targets without another man coming in and changing that landscape - in this case we might of got Danjuma and maybe more with Frank's pull. 2) His record against the bigger teams was better than the minnows, we would often have a game plan that suited our players. Let's face it these games are not a great start for the new man and if we were to get walloped in one or both then confidence might drop before we got going.

The only problem with that is if he had got 3/4 or by some miracle 6 points we would have had to have kept him for another couple of games that on paper were more winnable. In our situation though it is better to beat the teams around us than the top teams as you would be gapping them instead of letting them catch up and overtake. They don't call them 6 pointers for nothing. To that point it was a risk keeping him but looking at it in hindsight might have been the way forward.
 
I’m sure dyche will be held to the same standard…
He absolutely should be. Very very tempted to say "I'd bet a Dyche team takes more than 1 point from those fixtures". We've wasted every single opportunity to take points off the teams around us, and now they'll all added to their squads. The damage has already been done, the dominos are a-tumbling...
 
He can't turn us down
