Player Valuation: £750k
Dyche was an improvement on Benitez and Lampard and kept us up with arguably weaker sides than both of those managers.
I thought he did a solid, if hard to watch, job in his first 18 months.
After last years total of 48 points accrued, his feet firmly under the table and a summer window where the squad was replenished with Ndiyae, Lindstrom, Broja, Iro and O'Brien I expected us to be comfortably mid table this season.
However what was highlighted was Dyches lack of flexibility in his approach and his various blind spots with regards to players strengths/weaknesses, general tactics, game management and how to get the best of this group of players.
Dyche has a rigid system and a low ceiling and I think will be destined to remain a firefighter manager rescuing clubs from relegation but never getting them comfortably up the table.
I'm grateful for what he did but also glad the club pulled the plug as he'd clearly lost the dressing room with his stifling tactics and we were destined for another relegation fight, one that this time we may not have survived.
