Sean Dyche Appreciation thread + poll

[Tigger]

It was hard job to take on, he did what was asked in very difficult circumstances so step 1 deserves respect. Step 2 was show signs of being able to take us forward this season, we were not asking much, just avoiding another relegation dog fight would have sufficed, but he has failed miserably and was rightly binned.

I wonder if we seen him ever again directly in football to be honest…not sure if the club, its situation and its expectations broke him. If he does return, will be interesting to see what level he goes back in at.

First season and ha half decent….this season when people expected a little more…..poor.

“It’s a fair question – and I have absolutely gone through this with the players. Is it now just a cycle that the club is in? Every year you want a new manager, you get a new manager, you get a bounce then six months later it’s: ‘Boo! We want him out!’ and you just keep doing that? Is that where we are at?”

"Completely ineffective, nothing football, completely opposite of what the gameplan was"

Sean Dyche is understood to have told The Friedkin Group he had taken Everton as far as he could.​

Writing had been on the wall for a while, no idea who in the side could be spoiling for a fight stirring stuff behind his back but it seems like there's one or two. Let's see who Moyes bombs out first to get an inkling.

Moyes coming into the club for the second time and finds it on life support again. What a travesty, what a disaster, what a shambles. Not Dyche's fault in the main, he was left to stitch together a crud sandwich of a side and tried his best. Out of energy, out of time, out of ideas, out the door.

All this is fair play from Dyche. He doesn't shirk, calls it for what it is, from where he stands. We could have had a lot worse.
If its true, what is not fair play, as he looks to step aside for the best of the club, is for the new owner coming to say 'he gave up'.

Yeah, for three weeks in it is a bit 'headlock' style, throw someone under the bus type of a move.

Maybe he said it, maybe he was out of ideas and the players had stopped responding, he could have gone out on his shield honestly - 'this bunch don't want me, and you can't sack them.' Maybe.

We've had little mutinies before, lampard threw Doucoure under the bus and that went badly. There was hostility to how Niasse was treated by that clown koeman. Even Distin fell out with bobby phenomenal because of a complete managerial disregard for defence.

Ferguson ruled old trafford through sheer fear. Turn up with the goods or ship out. And he shipped 'em! There is no fear at Everton, the worst we get is a few murmurs and groans on a match day (schneiderlin aside). The soft touch blues, where any old spite* will do because no one is arzzed.

The future begins today. Let's see who and how Moyes bombs certain players out.

Will be interesting to see the comments in this thread when he starts slaughtering the club. Which he will.

 

[Silenus]

He has my respect. Not many would do better under similar circumstances—no budget, points deduction. I’m thankful he was the one in charge during that difficult time.

 

[peteblue]

Did well keeping us up, unfortunately that was the limit of his ability…..

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Respect for last season. No more than big Sam. The football was as bad if not worse than sams this season

 

[sportset]

Personally I think the players have been the problem. It is like workers wanting a four day week! They are paid such a daft amount of money they can down tools very easy.

 

[KMC]

Respect to their feller.

He came into a basket case headed for the Championship and saved us.

He did not save us. He was Everton manager during a period where there were 3 teams worse than us each season he was in charge.

It was dreadful football. He could not change tactics in-game to reflect play.

Nothing against the guy - he came as advertised... but he was steering us right into the Championship.

I would rather go down with some sort of vigour than go down with the mentality of just "trying not to go down"...

 

[RomanReigns]

Are we going to just forget he assaulted Patterson then?

Should have been sacked for gross misconduct in Dubai

Let's not be churlish. He saved us in two seasons we should have been relegated with ease.

He's got my respect and that of the VAST majority of Evertonians.

History will treat him kinder than at present.

Interesting article yesterday in Times comparing him with Deschamps .. which I thought was over egging it bigly but the thrust was that they both started out with the mindset of “they shall not pass” and a 1-0 is as good as 5-3

Part of his eventual downfall, I feel.

He just had no affection for the club or fans.
