2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

Yeah you’ve got to spend within your means, but acting like you can’t improve while doing so is disingenuous.

Make one big sale, and buy 3 or 4 players with that money, and you improve the squad overall. But you could still be in profit.

Even after selling some of our better assets (apart from Richie, they were arguable at the time anyway as Gordon didn’t exactly pull up trees here and Onana was made more of a squad player end of last season), we are still sitting here with Englands number 1 and a player we are asking north of £70m for.

I’ve never believed in the model if I’m honest mate, I’d be firmly in the camp of keeping your best players. I’m not dogmatic in that as there will always be some movement, but you have to be in control of the deal making and out circumstances meant we never have been. There is no strategy to it it’s necessity.

I think it’s pissing down your back and telling you it’s raining.

But regardless of that we have been different from applying a standard model. Sell you beat players and still get charged for PSR, we aren’t a case or a situation of a standard model applied.

People are beginning to talk as if we aren’t and haven’t been an absolute skip fire - we’re not comparable to anyone else.

There's definitely fewer of them now, and the ones that remain have started adjusting their rhetoric, presumably in a forlorn hope that the vaults will be kinder to them than if they kept up the full throated defence. It's only really @Saint Domingo , @Neiler and @GrandOldSte117 flying the flag these days. Unless you count @davek, but we know he's just a contrarian.
Don't think it's that surprising that there were more people advocating for Dyche when he had us getting results and now there are less because he isn't getting results
 
This manager doesn’t know any other way to play football, he consistently plays players out of position and treats players completely differently to one another. He has been here 22 months and for 21 and a half of those months he has drilled it into the players that defending is the only way to play, he has drilled it in to them NOT to have the football, the retrobell even has training days at a football club without a football, grinning and rubbing snot over his brow from the touchline as young athletes are being physically sick ffs.

This is a manager who plays his favourites regardless of both fitness and form but uses those exact reasons as an excuse not to play other players. Surely any manager with anything about them tries different players in positions which have consistently failed? Not this one, oh except when we played Bournemouth off the park (without Doucoure) and he stood there watching as half the team were blowing out of their arse and decided to take our best player off and then watched on as Bournemouth’s 5 fresh players had free reign to bombard us and claw back a defeat with 3 quick goals as he just stood there and didn’t make a single substitution after Bournemouth got back in the game (he still had 3 he could make at FT ffs!) to help visibly physically exhausted players. So because of his awful game management, he digs the players out and then doubles down on the safety first dross and gets his favourites who do well in his bleep test back in the team.

He offers absolutely nothing anymore if his team concede goals for fun, 12 goals scored from open play in 32 matches is absolutely disgusting, the sort of stat San Marino and Andorra would be embarrassed about and yet he’s still here, lying, denying the team he sets up is failing because of him, absolving himself of any blame, blaming problems that existed nearly 2 years ago yet not acknowledging that he has no idea how to fix them other than throwing the players under the bus and aiming for Tarkowski at the back post from set pieces.

Here we have a manager, the 6th highest paid in the entirety of English football, after nearly 2 years of his coaching methods taking off attacking players when a goal down at home when his whole gameplan was to not have the ball against the 1970 Braz… no wait, Fulham, so he could reveal his tactical masterplan to put his CB up front in a professional game of football in 2024. Blow smoke up this fella’s hoop as much as you want but the facts are he’s got a worse points return than both Benitez and Lampard after 13 games this season, we went 13 games without winning under him (the worst winless run in our near 150 year existence) and have gone backwards this season (after achieving 48 points last season) because he doesn’t have anything else in his locker to improve himself or anyone else. This season’s results are alarmingly similar to his final season at Burnley, they waited too long to get rid of him and went down. Everton cannot give him any more rope to hang himself with, do the thing Dan. First point of order when the ink is drying.

Yeah, but the players…

Get him gone
