2022/23 Sean Dyche

[Alan0401]

Hahahahahaha wonder how the ? who kept abusing Lampard for being a Tory will square this one.

Is Lampard even a Tory? I mean he probably is but has he ever said anything to that effect?

 

[BringBackBigSam]

I think Dyche will do well here, he has a decade of experiencing managing a similar sized club to us and usually kept Burnley up.

Think if we all get being Dyche he'll be able to keep us up for another decade. The football won't be good and we'll flirt with relegation every year but I reckon the man can keep us in the PL and extend our proud record of never going down.

Come on Sean Lad a proper manager who gets the league.

 

[Nymzee]

Oh Lord it's gonna be Iwobi on the wing again innit.

 

[Kev The Rat]

The only credit I will give him is successfully defrauding us for a huge payoff when he gets sacked in 8 games time

His teams score no goals which is our biggest problem

 

[Alan0401]

Doubt Gordon stays, Dominic Calvert-Lewin hasn't returned to form due to all his injuries, and Gray has terrible decision making in the final third (random worldlies aside)

Tbf it isn't dyche's fault, this team is just bereft of attacking creativity and pace. Unless we get some decent signings the attack won't be there regardless of the manager

The team is crap and 2 or 3 new players were needed in this window.

A new manager is going to have a near impossible task, doesn't matter who it is really at this point.

 

[Kev The Rat]

I think we just have to shut up and get behind him, coz a fiery but positive Goodison helps a new manager imo.

That will all end once he’s 0-5 at home to Arsenal

 

[Lanolin]

The time for chasing the impossible dream has gone. A few years ago i'd have thought this was a terrible appointment, but we're absolutely miles away from being a threat to the top 6/7 now, nevermind any better than that, and so what we're looking for in a manager has changed. This idea that anybody would be coming in and 'challenging' the board and changing the entire culture of the club overnight while demanding all sorts and getting it is just a fairy story. In the real world we just need to make the most of what we've got and try to muddle through. In many ways we could really do with just being boring for a bit. The club has been a soap opera for years, lurching from disaster to disaster and all sorts of spats going on in public while we change direction over and over again. If (and don't get me wrong, i'm well aware it's a big if) Dyche can keep us up and give us 2 years of finishing 10th-12th then maybe we can use that as a solid base for someone to come in and take us up a level, and make ourselves a much more attractive proposition for a takeover. Personally I think it's an approach that makes far more sense than inviting somebody known for creating chaos into a club that's already in chaos.

Looking forward to seeing Legoheads Arsenal strut their stuff.

i don't understand how the board goes from bielsa to dyche. the two managers are like chalk and cheese. surely if you miss out on bielsa you go for a manager with at least a similar playing style to him?

Not necessarily.

At this point I would imaging their reasoning was to identify two managers that could possibly keep us up.

Not sure philosophy is relevant at this stage.

They both have a chance to do thst but via different methods

 

[davek]

Win what exactly?

A point or three.

 

[Saint Domingo]

The issue is Dyche's teams just haven't scored enough goals and this team doesn't really have a counter attacking threat either.

Ranieri had vardy and mahrez, not to mention an elite midfielder in Kante.

I know but it’s just making the point that people can go on and on about Brighton’s football under Potter, or Leeds under Bielsa, and before that it was Hasenhuttl, then Wilder for a period, then Wagner before that, and Rodgers for a period, and so many other managers we ‘should have gone for’ because they were all implementing philosophies and structures at super well run clubs who recruited really well and planned for the long term.

How many of these clubs broke into the top 4? None.

bored today are we?

More proof if it was ever needed that the board need to go, giving the new manager his first game vs the best team in the league on current form.

If they were set on getting rid of Lampard there were plenty of games this month before Arsenal to do it

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Maybe he is our best appointment for the now, but not for the long term. I would have preferred Bielsa for the long term even if we went down. I honestly think we will have a better chance of staying up under Dyche. I honestly don’t know how we are going to set up and play under him. Everton is a completely different set up and job to Burnley. Regardless of the noise on here the resources at a club like ours is much bigger so I’m definitely giving him a chance to turn it round. I would love him to make some of the football experts on here to at some humble pie.

Not my manager.

Wouldn't be too concerned about that tbh. He just needs to keep us up and build from there.
