2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

Saint Domingo said:
Apart from the contract we agreed where we pay him one of the highest salaries in Europe despite us being a bottom 3 team at the time.

Yeah apart from that there’s no indication we were desperate for his services at all.

‘Sean we’re lukewarm on you, and we’ve got lots of other options, but despite that here’s a contract with an eye watering salary and all the clauses you asked for’.

Yeah that’s not begging mate.

But keep trying

Did we just magically jump from low 30 to mid 30s points in consecutive seasons to 48 last season? Was it an accident? Did I imagine the 4th best defence in the league? All of this whilst turning a profit in every summer transfer window he’s been here.

Yeah he’s done nothing.

Do you also forget he went on a run of 14 games without a win and stuck with a striker who went over 20 games without scoring?

You ain’t shifting him mate.

He dug himself in with Benitez and wouldn’t budge, despite the club and team starting to go up in flames, due to idiot Moshiri giving Benitez the matches and petrol to set fire to the place.

Here’s a scenario for you

A complete basket case club approaches you 20 games into the season already in the bottom 3. It’s just sold its best attacking player and has no funds for a replacement in that window. Every other manager it’s approached has knocked them back to date. Its only striker has been out injured for the entire season. This club has not seen a manager last longer than 18 months since 2016 and has fired 6 managers and seen another one walk since then.

The club has no money for transfers in the immediate future and will probably need to sell your best players every summer window. There’s a looming points deduction that could hit at any time. The owner wants out and could sell the club at any point. There’s no permanent CEO or BOD and the DOF is one season in. They also have a militant fan base that expects to be challenging for Europe and winning trophies whilst having the only positive net spend in the league.

By the way if you get it wrong and don’t keep them up you’ll forever be the manager who ended Everton’s top flight status, put them in the championship going into a new stadium, and actually put the mere existence of the club into doubt.

So when they come and offer you a 2 and a half year contract, do you:

Expect that you’ll be fired at some point and ask for a massive salary and a termination pay off?

Or

Ask for a salary that’s befitting of the club being in the bottom 3 and graciously accept that you could be terminated for free at any point even if you achieve all your objectives?

Some people don’t seem to understand the relative negotiating positions of Everton and Sean Dyche AT THE TIME we hired him. It’s a different ball game now, but at the time, we were on our knees begging him. He was therefore able to dictate the terms and we accepted them based on our desperation to stay up (which he then delivered)

Dont cry about the realities of that commercial negotiation after the fact. If we choose to bullet Dyche now then I guarantee you whatever the payment is it will be a drop in the ocean compared to what the cost of relegation would have been.

What was long-term unemployed Sean Dyche's negotiating position? He was just lucky that the only, and I mean only, club that was prepared to offer him a contract was a clown college run by a complete moron and the world's only broke sugar daddy.

Does that invalidate the number of points w got?

The original complaint was he’s done nothing, I don’t see what me pointing out the league table and how we’ve gained 14 points from the season before has anything to do with who he picked as striker.

I can think of 5 million reasons why a decent manager would be interested in managing Everton , post dinosaur

Any decent manager would pick that money up at a decent club, so why come here.
There’s a reason our last two shortlists contained Benitez, Pereirra, Lampard and Ferguson.

I’d mention Bielsa but he didn’t want the first team job.

Yeah you’re exactly right.

Sean Dyche who promoted Burnley and took them to Europe couldn’t get a single job in the entire football pyramid.

Then out the blue Everton rang him and said ‘do you want a contract making you one of the highest paid managers in the league’

I’m sure that’s exactly how it went, you are spot on, as usual.
 
Wales under Bellamy putting a lie to the theory that a new manager can't get crap players to play decent football.

It's just that the dinosaur is too blinkered and lazy ( BTW I'm not suggesting that Everton appoint Craig Bellamy )
