2022/23 Sean Dyche

[witchdoc187]

We didn't sign anyone in January, sadly Maupay has been here since the summer. 1 goal return on a £12m fee. Yet another stellar bit of transfer business. Finding a club anywhere willing to take him will be as big a miracle as avoiding relegation was.

Terrible recruitment. Most of which comes from the regular change of managers, back room staff and tactics. We need consistency I'd be happy to give dyche the chance

 

[Titus Shambles]

Maybe aim a little higher but he's better than Maupay

A plank of wood would be a better option upfront than Maupay, let alone Chris Wood.

Brighton are as likely to be the new Southampton as not.

The problem with these types of clubs is that without CL they will eventually run out of saleable assets and then one bad season is all it takes to start the death spiral.

Brighton invested heavily, and the right way, to get a foot hold into the league. They spend a net of £100+mill in their first 2 seasons. They're built to sustain and grow each year on (Europa League) and off the field (commercially etc). This season alone they sold £120mill of talent and spent about £40mill of it. No doubt they'll sell another £100mill of talent this summer and spend half of it and be fine financially and on the field because of recruitment.

Southampton on the other have always been hand to mouth, sell to buy. Brighton aren't as they've banked.

Brentford are more likely to pop unless they invest. Their net is less than a million.

@Kev The Rat the football may not be FS esque

but it’s worked

Two together might be a thing of nightmares.
Might actually work thinking about if we had gone down.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Anybody that wants him gone needs to get a reality check of were we are and where we are going the next season or two.
Midtable stability , before we move into the new ground is the target and anything else will be the icing on the cake.

The biggest critique was his rigidness of 442, has knocked this out of Goodison and shown he can adapt.

Think he did a few things wrong, bit slow changing the team around ,but look at the subs bench?
Honestly think he did a brilliant job keeping us up.
We were only off the bottom on goal difference, had brought nobody in, sold Gordon and let Rondon go, so arguably with an even weaker team.
The mentally change was very good from him, don't forget accept for a few brief patches we had basically been on a downward spiral since the latter stages of Carlo.
We had accepted defeat before a ball was kicked and that had been that way for nearly two years.
He got them looking like a team.
Yep along the way he has frustrated me , but it's not his team out there , he has been asked to keep this rabble up and has achieved it.
If you asked me the day after the tranfer deadline had past if I thought we would have stayed up
I would have have to say honestly we were down
Deserves a decent go of it in my book.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

I can't claim to really understand how football finance regulation works but, with our losses, I don't think it matters if someone wants to invest, I don't think in the short term it's allowed. These rules are utterly stupid, they just lock in the existing order.

Tell me about it

I feel a little sorry for him because he wasn't brought in as a target man. Yet spent the season dealing with long balls punted to him. Didn't help that he fluffed every chance he had

Brighton the next Leicester? They have signed good players and have a feel good factor. The same as Leicester a few seasons ago. That’s was the model to follow. Brighton are on a hot streak with players, it will soon reverse.

Personally think they've got cash in the bank. As mentioned, the minute they don't...that's it.

Southampton and Leicester had financial issues. Same with Leeds.

We're more likely to go down that route if we don't sort out behind the scenes.

 

[maccavennie]

I bet his bedroom absolutely wreaked of curry farts this morning. 100% he'd have ordered in a curry takeaway for him, Woan & Stone last night and got leathered on Worthingtons bitter.

You earned it Sean, bask in the ambience

 

[lieneverton]

We have bigger issues at board level, but I was at least mildly enthused by Dyches post match comments. He knows full well the scope of the task he has and didn't mince his words.

Know it doesn't mean much but hopefully sets the tone for a progressive summer.

 

[polish]

Is right, gaffer.
