If you want an example of a good takeover....

Newcastle United, immediately Bruce is removed and Howe installed and then backed in that January window and they`ve never looked back.

Imagine they had kept and backed Steve Bruce, this is affectively what TFG is doing with Dyche!
13 days after they took over they sacked him.. we are 13 days in to TFG
 

We are only a few hours into the new year and we won't see a bigger meltdown then this in the next 12 months . Incredible.
Not really being the holidays with legal and money types in thier holidays homes around the world, just after this weekend no excuses to take a brush to all the crap that has been amassed by Kenwright Moroshi.
 
Perhaps I am pushing this a little too hard, but I do feel like we`ve been hoodwinked slightly by TFG and all their statements for them to come in and keep the status quo and no plans to change what is failing immediately, it`s not like they rocked up 2 weeks ago and just assessing the club, they`ve been in and around it for many many months...

I`m thoroughly disappointed that we thought we would get change but it is just a continuation of what failed before! I want this club to be better but everything points to be sold to the Glazers 2.0

They've released one statement. Stop talking rubbish and looking for stuff that isn't their.

Glazers bought Man Utd on a leveraged basis for a start. That hasn't happened here.
 

Time will tell... lets see where we are with this manager that TFG decided was a good idea to keep on.... my guess is he will go at some point but I hope it isn`t too late like his last relegation at Burnley which mirrors this season quite scarily. The manager then had too much to do and I hope TFG pull the plug before it is too late...

Those quoting PSR as a reason not to sack, think about this.... We will save £52m per year on interest payments with the new debt restructure, with half the year to go we will save c£26m from our PSR position, why can we not afford to sack him?
Go and have a lie down mate.
Maybe take a herbal remedy to help you relax.


Godspeed
 
They might back him now but a few more defeats for us and results for Ipswich and Wolves and the trigger finger will get twitchy. I can't see where the goals are coming from at present his tactics are utterly dire, I thought Smith was negative this guy takes the Tony Pulis award. Forest are direct but they do it at pace and are effective at getting men around Wood. We launch it to one isolated striker while our wingers are so deep they struggle to create anything and our full backs are sat on the edge of the box, Doucoure has lost a yard so can't press or score goals. We are a football team that can't score goals and the baffling thing is he NEVER tries two up front bar the odd ten minutes here ir there. Other fans telling me he will keep us up, yet he put us in the mire this season with our abysmal Brexit preseason, shocking in game management in the first place! I give him credit our defence has improved but it's not worth much if we can't score goals. We won't win games. Draws are not enough to get you safe! Dyche is a bluffer who only cares about Dyche.
 
Totally get why blues are despondent with it all and mainly the manager. Hardly an attractive watch right now or enjoyable experience, not to mention he is clearly not the future. However it’s about context right now. You have a certain pool of managers out of work, a certain pool of managers who would be interested in the job and a certain pool of managers who would be interested at the end of the season. What if the quality of manager desired is in a job and wouldn’t join until the summer? The likes of Moyes and co have made it clear they don’t want short term stints at the moment too. The initial belief was the level of manager desired was/is not available right now or it would have to be a short term appointment to get us to the end of the season, which is a road they ideally didn’t want to go down. So to back Dyche internally, get through the season unscathed and remaining a premier league club was the original thought process. Of course, things can change in football, if Everton go on and get thumped for a few games and drop into the relegation zone, alarm bells will be ringing I imagine. Dislike Dyche or not, that’s everyone’s prerogative, but sometimes it’s not as easy as sacking a manager mid season for various reasons. TFG have been in and around the club for a long time, yes the takeover concluded a few weeks back but they were around the club long before that, so they knew and know exactly what has been going on for a long time, not just a few weeks.
How dare you come on here and talk sense, you know this isn't the place for that.

Come back after today's game...
 

3 wins in 18, 17 points from 18 games... how do you think results will go when everyone knows officially Dyche isn`t staying.

In the main results drop if a manager and players know the manager is leaving, we`ve seen it many many times before much like the manager bounce, it wouldn`t surprise me if this season we are seeing the signs of this.

TFG can`t be suprised if results tail off even further, all too predictable for many many months now, whoever is advising these guys have not one clue what is going on... Again, why do people believe TFG is going to be any better than Kenwright or Moshiri?
They wont want to be playing the Championship presumably.
 
How do you know they haven’t?
There is no point in whacking Dyche unless they have a replacement in place. That alone can take a while and couldn’t formally start until the last couple of weeks. Over Christmas and New Year too.
Having a caretaker in charge for 2 or 3 games is not a big deal. In fact it often leads to a couple of positive results before the novelty goes away.

If TFG have already decided Dyche is not going to be in charge next season, regardless of what happens, then it makes no sense to delay the change. I feel this is a mistake by the new ownership - Dyche's time at Everton is clearly up.

I can’t imagine they haven’t given consideration to possible replacements. You’d think it would be done as a matter of course as part of scenario planning. Maybe the names on the list of available managers aren’t enough to tempt them just yet.
