If you extrapolate Dyche's 1.05 PPG with us over a whole season we'd be going into this weekend around level with Bournemouth and safe.

The heady heights of 15th

Player Valuation: £1.5m
Let's not pretend he's some kind of miracle worker. We would be safe already if he had binned Keane earlier, locked Maupay in his basement and had not played centre backs instead of full backs. As little as that would be enough.
The heady heights of being safe going into the last game of the season, not what we wish for but what we would take at this moment in time.
15th with a squad rammed full of International standard players.
Give him a 7 year contract, we have finally found our new HK.
Solanke doesn't play over DCL, he's been better this season with confidence from the Championship, but he was awful in PL last time. Brooks hasn't done anything for several years now (debilitating illness/injury unfortunately). They've overperformed really under O'Neil. They looked miles off a PL team under Parker.
Gibbs White is a very good player. Johnson is a good quality player (but on the bench lately) and Awoniyi has scored the goals to keep them up. That aside there isn't much there at all.
Got lucky Leeds and Leicester fell off a cliff. If either had just won one of their last several games we'd be on the brink of relegation.
However, he's better than Dean Smith and Javi Gracia (not saying much) and that looks like being enough to keep us up.

I don’t think this squad is capable of much more than that TBF
I’d quite happily take a season of guaranteed survival and 15th after the last two seasons.
1.05ppg might (or might not) be over simplifying it though. Cba tonight but would be interesting to see points gained at home and away and extrapolating that for a full season. Equally teams played across those games and if they were h/a probably affects the average.
Either way 17 is too small a scale to judge what he might get over a season I would guess the upper range will be a bit higher tbh.

To be honest given our striking options when DCL isn't fit (which is most of the time) most mangers would struggle to get a tune out of our lot. Is dyche the greatest? Obviously not but we do need a spell where we can get ourselves out of the financial hole we're in and I think he would do that. I get a feeling that a lot on here want him sacked because we've got a squad that should be top 5. It's a very poor squad and will be for another couple of seasons in my opinion so we need someone to keep us in the league until we can build again. We've jumped ship to a new manager too many times and look where we are now, stick with him it's not going to be pretty but I reckon he's a safe pair of hands for a couple of seasons.
Doesn't matter who is in charge, we have to invest heavily in players this summer in case we end up with a transfer ban at some point next season.
With what though mate? Invest heavily? We're brassic.
Southampton have a squad rammed full of international standard players too. International football is a low, low level.
But if we are buying Sean dyche style players then what happens when we want to try and transition away from that to move up the league?
We saw with the players that Allardyce bought that they become dead weight when the manager goes.
