Sean Dyche Appreciation thread + poll

[blue in oxford]

he did what was required but couldnt add to that thanks and respect

Dyche plotted the good ship Everton through very turbulent waters, it wasn’t pretty but we landed safely.

 

[Elon Trump]

Respect is due for his first full season and half prior.

Had to go though!

 

[Nymzee]

Curious thought, someone can work it out for me as I cba:

17pts from 19 games.

How many seasons in the last 10 would that have had us in the bottom 3?

I keep saying "but we weren't in the relegation places" but how much is that us getting 17 points, or how much is that having teams like Southampton in the PL.

No we haven’t, not even close!

 

[helpimonfire]

Get him out of the Everton thread.

Nowt to do with us now.

 

[John from Bootle]

I set a couple of targets for him in my own mind. He clung on and avoided me calling for his head. The last expected minimum I stated I expected from him was at least 3 points from the 3 games against Arsenal, Chelsea and Forest. Two wasn't enough I'm afraid. Three was barely acceptable when the bigger picture was looked at.

Bournemouth was abysmal but he should have went after Forest. Deserves a lot of credit for keeping us competitive when we were in all sorts of trouble though.

17 pts in 21/22, 22/23 (depending on goal difference, but had 15 pts at this stage in 22/23) and 23/24 all have us out of the relegation zone.

It's right for him to be credited with the previous two seasons, and for that I sincerely thank him. The football wasn't great, yet he helped us grind out survival.

Nevertheless, we have to separate the last two seasons from this year's campaign, because I couldn't see him turning around the rot that had set in.

In the future, he will likely talk about issues outside his control, and to be fair to him, he may be correct to a point, but we cannot ignore his failings this year.

The football has significantly regressed and was continuing to do so, with the players looked bereft of confidence, including in him and his (lack of) tactics.

The more he spoke, the more he alienated the fans, and with all that it looked incredibly unlikely he'd be able to turn it around; he had created his own rut.

Let's be clear, this is the worst football I've watched us play in a long-time, and with no real hope that he had the ability or desire to turn it around.

Thanks for the past, but this year will sour that legacy and he cannot throw the blame at others without looking inwards. Can he do that with his personality? Nah.

He is the last of the dinosaurs.

So 3 seasons out, 7 seasons in the relegation zone?

I'm not arsed checking the other ones since Carlo left because that's when our financial troubles, and selling of our assets started.

Why bother replying to my post then defeated the purpose of it.
