Gwladysstreetlad
Player Valuation: £50m
He didn't do anyone a "big favour" Dave. He was unemployed when he took the job and he was handsomely paid for his time here. He's going to collect another and final payoff from the club when we stay up. I've given him more credit then most but I refuse to act like he was doing charity or something when he was making a kings ransom from the club regardless of how good a job he did/didn't do. No manager, Moyes, Dyche, Anchelotti, Benitez, whoever, needs big ludicrous "thank you's" and grovelling. Their pay is their thanks for doing their ruddy job.He can still claim that right now:
1st season we were going down under Lampard. He came in and got us safe
2nd season the whole world was conspiring to relegate us - he got us safe...and then some
3rd season he left us in 16th position and we had a game in hand over opponents who have proven (as we all knew) incapable of getting more points (we'd have still been out of the relegation zone now with the points Dyche left us on about 6 weeks ago)
There's some asinine comments made about Dyche relegating us...mind you, we have a fanbase that were running round with their hair on fire saying Martinez was going to relegate us...when we were 11th in the table, so it doesn't surprise me.
Dyche did us a big favour here and he can easily hold his head up high on his record as manager of this club. EASILY.
