2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

[Cake]

Met more than his match in TFG. The things he’s been saying since they came in and his approach to games were nothing more than sabotage of himself and the club.

Whilst I do think he gave up, it is pretty funny that we're taking all the same club briefed headlock journos at their word just because we dont like Dyche

 

[Toffe3m4n]

So if he said to TFG his race was run and they apparently sacked him, does that infer he asked for funds and the request was turned down ? Just generalising, putting 2 and 2 together and getting 22 but Dyche doesn't seem the type to just give up without a fight.

I think he was just fed up at this point regardless. Unable to get a tune out of this team, derided by the fans and knew he wasn't getting a new deal beyond this summer either way. Suggests to me that TFG thought it was a risk keeping him on if he indicated that he was just going through the motions..

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Not a single post by a player thanking him hmmmm they actually all hated him

As I said, he’s free to sue them for libellous claims.

Terrible Manager. Seemed like a bell too.

I think the goodbye statement speaks volumes.

I really cant stand the narrative that he worked miracles and was the only manager that could keep us up. he created a lot of the pressure himself.

i dont think he was capable.

It wouldn't get anywhere near the threshold for libel so he isn't really. It's undoubtedly a little bit of spin from the club to try to push the narrative they want, there's nothing weird about it that's what happens all the time, but the point is right that people are very quick to believe stuff that suits them.

It’s all rumours and stuff so who knows, but I remember hearing a while back that he really ain’t a nice bloke at all.

The statement and reaction of the players speaks volumes to be fair.

It would be a potentially reputation damaging false statement so yes it is libel.

For the record I don’t think it is a false statement, I don’t think Joyce and Douglas would be that stupid, but that’s what people are suggesting.

Not looking good for him if there isn’t one even from Maupay.

Love these media hacks.....spend days and days posting the crap stats, moaning about how bad we are, poor to watch, hoof ball....time wasting.....YET when we make a change, they question the decision - the decisions backed up by their own stats and stories ffs!!!

It’s almost as though club/Friedkin lawyers who have drawn up 100s of contracts in their time may know a thing or two about contractual clauses protecting the club from libel claims from ex employees.

It's not at all, it's spin. There's no direct quote, they aren't saying 'Sean told us he had categorically given up but wanted us to pay him off or he would deliberately get us relegated', they're saying 'he felt he'd taken us as far as he could and we thought he'd basically given up'. That's not even remotely close to libellous, it's likely to be the basic outline of a conversation which genuinely happened being spun in a way that suits the narrative the club want to push (just as we do with players who want to leave and we force them to submit a transfer request and then go 'nothing we can do about it lads, his heads been turned he's a rat'). It's just standard practice in these situations.
