I’ll be honest, I don’t mind him. I think he was the right tool for the job when he was brought in.
I admit to being frustrated at times but then that would apply to every single manager at every single club.
He did the biz with last day heroics and then dealt with a huge points deduction the season following which was absolutely none of his doing. All the while, with next to no money to bolster a squad not really up to the job.
Yes he’s slow to make appropriate subs, yes he’s slow to change playing patterns. Yes, two unbeaten runs this season feels like harder work than it should. In no way am I saying he’s perfect.
We are though in a strange state as a club at the moment. Imminent takeover, imminent move away from a historical home to a space age new one, it’s like we’re the footballing embodiment of that weird week between Christmas and new year.
New owners will put their own fashionable manager in charge and Sean Dyche will be well aware of this, he’s not daft. Aside from the fact that there’s no actual real-world board to give him the boot, if we got a new manager now that everyone likes, with this squad and “board” they’re equally as hamstrung as Sean Dyche has been, resource wise. Do we really want to blow our load early and risk another Moshiri-esque false dawn, or wait for TFG, new investment and an actual functioning board? Take the time to get it right and that.
Until then, I reckon he’s about the best holding-the-fort-but-not-a-stand-in-definitely-permanent manager. As I said, probably the right tool for the current job.
