It's not about the size of the budget, it's the parameters.

Eg - Scenario 1 - sell Dom, get £20mill to spend on a new player who's deal will need to be a contract over 4 years with £5 million upfront.

Scenario 2 - sack Dyche for (hypothetical) £5mill. That £20mill becomes £15mill...and that player above is no longer able to buy.

That's the pool we're in regardless of manager.

It was hypothetical.

We need signings in January. The rumour is sacking Dyche effects PSR which means it'll effect the transfer budget.

So whatever glamour name you bring in to replace Dyche... you're still gonna struggle signing players in Jan

We do need signings to improve massively, but granted Sean Dyche got 1.3 ppg last season with that squad, and with 19 games remaining that I think a decent manager can get that average again without a big spending it puts us around 40/41 points. You stay up.

And any major signings should be done with the next manager, Sean will leave in 6 months latest.

Which is the issue and what TFG will be thinking about.

Villa at the weekend as well as other results dictates a lot IMO.

Whoever we buy in January is here not for the manager but for the team regardless.

I guess when people’s business experience is Football Manager, then 3 weeks into buying something - regardless of due diligence - this is a harsh judgement in the extreme. I don’t know the poster’s business experience so this may be overly judgmental!

They will still be unearthing all the nasty stuff lurking hidden in the woodwork. If at the same time, they could have something done on manager and transfers, given the wreck they have bought, it would have been miraculous by now.

Business management involves assessment of risk. So assess the risk of relegation happening:
- we are 1 point above relegation zone
- we can't score - in the last 10 games we've failed to score a goal in 8 of them
- we have had 1 win in the last 11 games
- we have had 3 league wins this season
- we play innumerable games without a shot on target
- the football Dyche plays is wholly predictable to us the fans and opposition managers who know we will set up to defend and cause them very little threat
- the manager has lost the support of the fans
- the manager went 4 months without winning a game last year
- we are being rejected by players we are trying to sign so seemingly now facing problems improving the squad
- others in difficulty are making their moves and the pool of possible replacements is dwindling - Conceicao, Corberan, Potter now gone
I'm sure there's plenty of other factors to throw in but the risk is immense that doing nothing at this crucial time will lead to relegation - the red flags are clear to see. When you're in trouble you do something - and that doesn't mean you cross your fingers
