2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

Have you ever been constipated for several days? You’re getting to the point where it’s starting to physically hurt, you’re lethargic, you can’t sleep, you’re just living life in agony thinking only about releasing the lead weight that you’re dragging around with you. And then finally one day you sit down on the throne, and unload the biggest, heaviest, most monstrous kraken (with some additional pain involved), turn around and press the flush button and it’s gone forever. The plague on your existence has been let go and you’ll never see it ever again. The sheer relief is so palpable that you sit quietly for a few moments and allow a little smile to yourself. You can go back to living your normal life, everything suddenly feels that little bit better.

Well, that.
 

My advice is to be careful what you wish for.

There's no way you can guarantee we get a manager in who can cope as well as Dyche has here for 2 years operating under the strain he's endured.

I would put it at 90% Dyche gets th required points to keep us up.

We are tough to beat and dont go on long losing streaks.

If these owners are wobbling on Dyche they better have around £50M/£60M to spend on players this window...and they better have a Plan B if that change goes disastrously wrong...which it stands a good chance of doing.

Dyche = safety
A.N.Other manager = risk
You are so boring.
 
Tbf, that weird comment about the run being decent if we had wins was a bungled, stressed attempt at saying those draws are only good if you follow them up with wins, which is a phrase we have heard a billion times before without issue.

Whilst he has mangled it and created a fantastically embarrassing meme comment, I don’t think it was quite as delusional as it sounded.
 
He openly said in an interview there are no clauses in his contract.
He also said that some of our players are worth 10 times what they were before he came and that the run of results isn’t too bad if you add some wins to it. Along with the expectations on him being European football at the start of the season.

I’d take what he says with a pinch of salt.

I think everyone agrees that any other manager is a risk - certainly the type we are likely to attract mid-season and probably facing another relegation battle.

Most are less positive about Dyche leading us to safety though. He has, for two seasons, and improved the points we have won on the pitch last season. Despite the dreadful spectacle on the pitch, if we were looking certain of a 13th-16th place finish most people would accept Dyche until the end of the season and then spend the summer in the first part of a rebuild and refresh of the club.
As each week passes though, we look less and less like earning another win. Or even scoring a goal.
We are on a two game losing streak right now, and we’re more than capable of losing to each of Villa, Spurs and Brighton.
It’s fear that drives most people to want Dyche out now, not just a hatred for his style of football.

Only for Sir Gareth Southgate to, charmingly, hand you the toilet brush...
 
This is nonsense because PSR isn’t settled until June 30th. So you could cover any cost of sacking him with a sale or just by finishing a couple of places higher, in which case prize money covers the cost.

Anyone suggesting sacking Dyche would automatically mean we fail PSR is making stuff up.

Forgive me but that's the kind of the attitude that has gotten us into PSR breaches. You could be forced into selling one of our few remaining marketable assets for a knock down price if you are reliant on that kind of thing. No guarantees we finish much further than we are now as we are starting to get gapped. All being equal utd and Spurs will get out of our reach sooner or later, leaving West Ham and Palace. So a possible 6m extra up for grabs and who says we haven't already budgeted to finish 14th based on last year points haul.

If we can move on someone first and make the numbers work, then that is the correct way about it. How much of it's true we don't know, but I believe it would at least effect this window's transfer budget. Then you get on to which manager is available, how much do they want upfront and their staff and any other conditions. If you hire someone and they fail completely then you are looking to pay up at least an 18 month contract before you hire again. All this has to go into the melting pot.

I think legal contracts are very different than his run of the mill mutterings.
 

Baines temp boss apparently

Is this fella sauced? We'll know if this is true within 48 hours.

If it is revealed that he's gone, the above poster should be called as being 'sauced'.

If he's not gone within 48 hours, poster ought to be disciplined for spreading lies.

I hope it's the former and I will be happy that we have a sauced up poster here.
