It's Hobson's choice really. I cannot muster any real enthusiasm for Dyche although I'll get behind whoever is appointed.
Giving the job to Dyche because he is not Allardyce isn't any recommendation at all.
I am certainly concerned at what I have been reading about Allardyce, I must admit he simply had not come into my focus to this extent previously. Also concerned that he would have too matey a relationship with Walsh.
The mess that was made of transfers, and left behind by Koeman, it really would take a cock-up of enormous proportions for Allardyce to get it that wrong. But obviously that is not the bar.
My biggest concern is the lack of leadership and responsibility in the squad and the mental fragility. Allardyce would seem more adept at coping with that than Dyche who has no experience of managing players at a higher level.
Whoever gets the job will get my full but qualified support until they deserve to lose it.
Let's face it, it is going to be one of the two unless Silva makes a late run for it. I like him a lot, but he is also a risk.
I'm actually beginning to think that Walsh continuing on in his role is becoming a bigger problem. One that may be exacerabated by Allardyce' appointment.
Ultimately Moshiri and the board are responsible for the "shortlist" we appear to have been left with. I have no doubt at all that we haven't been bold or imaginative enough in whatever process has been adopted. We still do not learn from previous mistakes.
