2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

Actually agonising, why is this being prolonged? Who is benefiting from this?
I think the way we have to look at this mate is that we have 2 and a half weeks of window left, and if we sack Dyche now and don't have a manager ready to step in who players from other clubs will want to come and play for, then you lose the window.

With all the will in the world, Leighton is not that manager. My guess (hope!) Is there is a massive amount of work being done behind the scenes to bring in a new manager quickly from a situation that will require him to be literally ripped out of his current club.

Patience! 🤞🤞🤞

We should be able to beat Peterborough with Baines in charge. We don’t play again in the league for another week. Nobody is gaining anything from Dyche lingering around, the training sessions are a waste of time, him turning up at the game today is a waste of time. Atmosphere will be flat, he’ll be disinterested, I can’t see any reason for him to still be here.
 

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
You’re preaching to the choir chum. I absolutely concur with your assessment, my only point is that they are barely 3 weeks into this, they will do well to get this sorted in a couple of weeks. I know it is not a popular view, but any change is both difficult to engineer and tough to have someone ready to take it on in a short time frame.

We have financial constraints, we have massive squad gaps and are struggling at the wrong end of the table. Good God, even West Ham were more attractive than us at the moment, and players are choosing Ipswich over us.

And, they have to get this right, it is not anyone will do!
