I don't know what you are reading but I'm reading a man that owns his own reality and his acceptance of the club's issues from the start, and yes, losing Richarlison was a big loss. One that Dyche did not have.
The only time I heard him criticise the players was after the smashing in London when he said 'you need bollocks to play at this level'.
That was a general commentary on the whole team, not a 'solve the goal scoring with a cheque book' comment
Think what you want about him. He is held in higher regard than Dyche and it has nothing to do with the RS or the Tories. It has to do with the two men and how they related to the fans and their attitude to the job. That is just the way it is, so I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve
