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

It's totally Everton to win the game

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.

They're still better models for long term success. If the club has a structure and identity in place than sensible recruitment of players can follow. Instead we chop and change every year or so and end up with a Frankenstein squad made up of buys from 5+ managers all who had different styles.
 
Dyche is, allegedly, a Brexiter.

And there are similarities between his appointment and Brexit.

Anyone with an ounce of sense knew Brexit would be a disaster (and it is proving thus at an alarming rate).

But….for the sake of our own well being and the future prospects of our children and grandchildren, we have to hope we were wrong and it turns out to be a success.

Ditto with Dyche.

I can see no upside to appointing this fellow.

I hate the football he plays, I hate that rasping voice, most of all I hate that faux hard man image he tries to portray by standing on the touchline in his shirt sleeves when it is snowing,

What does he think that proves? He just looks like a knob.

We need, IMO, at least six wins and at least as many draws from our remaing 18 games to ensure safety.

I could see us getting a bunch of draws all right but given we have to go to OT, The Pit, Chelsea and Emirates….plus face City, Spurs, Arsenal, Barcodes at home our scope for wins seems very narrow right now.

Because we can’t score goals…and Dyche isn’t renowned for getting many goals.

In short, I do not see Dyche as the saviour many of our friends on here think he will be.

However.

I wish him every success.

Because my general happinesses and peace of mind is to a great extent dependent on how my beloved EFC is doing at any given time,

Ergo I will park my doubts and welcome Mr. Dyche at the Arsenal game next week and wish him every success.

I need to be proven wrong with my misgiving….I desperately want to be proven wrong with my misgivings.

So, good luck Sean (good Irish name always a plus ;))

UTFT :dance:

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

They scored enough to get Burnley into Europe a few years ago and keep them in the Premier League though.

Unless we get a couple of decent attackers in, we won’t be scoring many even if Guardiola was manager.

He’s a know nothing [Poor language removed] head who lost £30m of his own money single handedly putting Palace into administration. Nothing he says is any more “spot on” than what you would hear on a Tuesday lunchtime in Wetherspoons.
The only reason he is right about Dyche is that if you fling enough cack at a wall, eventually some of it may stick.

Well that's put me in my place. Mind you.....

None of them are having long term success though? Most of them are struggling just to stay in the league. Brighton are doing well this season but were battling relegation in most previous ones since their promotion.

Leicester have maybe been the best at it and at least have a couple of pots to show for it but long term? They’re in a relegation battle now and will be selling all their best players shortly as they have FFP problems as well.

Where are the long term managers in the league outside of the top 6? There’s none. The turnover is so great because regardless of philosophy, club structure, recruitment, planning, every single club in the bottom 14 is one injury crisis or wrong managerial appointment away from a relegation battle. Every single one.

:( And the Burnelyfication of Everton is complete.

What's absolutely insane is that there are quite a lot of people happy about it. Maybe the fans are the problem after all. :(

Burnley are a far more well run club than we are. You know that if Burnley are relegated they've got the infrastructure to bounce back and it's sustainable. It isn't a certainty for us.

We'd score more than with Dyche, his teams do not score goals. We will 100% be relegated with this dirgeball dinosaur. He's terrible.
