2022/23 Sean Dyche

[blulouie]

Dyche is a careful talker. The fact that he even “let slip” 2 didn’t respond is relevant and deliberate.

The optional nature of it is necessary for it to work at all, so players voluntarily buy in to it.

But I am surprised anyone wouldn’t respond. If asked why do you think this group of players is underperforming, for a few million quid a year, I think you should probably have an opinion, and if so you should definitely air it for the benefit of all. This isn’t a staff survey at Next/Boots head office about equality and pathways to promotion.

Think it quite bizarre myself.

Shades of Brendan Rogers locking envelopes in a draw when he was at Liverpool.

I was e

Thought his comments about 'Kev' n the chairman constantly being on the phones late into the night ' I know cos I saw them ' was a bit bizarre, as he left FF on Tuesday evening before the window had shut ?

I was watching SKY when it was reported he had just left FF, it was 9.40pm.
I think we all had accepted nothing was happening at that stage.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

it's just a work survey, quite a good turn out if only two didn't hand it back in

To be fair the two were both non English speakers as well.

Mina and Pickford.

 

[twoblue]

Not only is the right to not answer important, it also tells him something of their personality, that they are perhaps willing to go along with the group or that they don't know the answers and would prefer to say nothing. Coupled with other interactions it helps him get to know the squad. Taking part, just for the sake of saying something rather than nothing is of less use to him than their silence

Or illiterate or English is a second language and don’t like forms

 

[ArtetaMagic]

Is it like a work questionnaire which is meant to be confidential and anonymous but it asks you what team you are in?
What sex are you?
What age are you?

What position do you play?
Do you like handbags?
Etc etc

Nothing bizarre about asking players why they are underperforming. It’s management 101

Just ask them then.
Say it how it is.

He did. You're complaining about him doing the thing you're advising him to do.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

He did. You're complaining about him doing the thing you're advising him to do.

It's right, he did exactly that. Don't put any of them on the spot by making it non verbal and anonymous.

That said, is it a tried and tested management technique?

I'd say getting feedback from employees is expected in every single organisation. The key thing is interpreting, then doing something with the information you're given.

It is, but in my experience is dressed up a bit, rather then a piece of paper, and "Whats wrong then?"

SWOT analysis for example. (Strengths, Weaknesses Opportunities and Threats). There is another one we used thats similar, but cant recall it. But was essentially, "What can YOU do to improve, and what can help/stop/interfere with you improving."

 

[blulouie]

I'm not complaining , just think it's bizarre asking them to fill in a questionnaire.
He seems a no nonsense sort so what's wrong with sitting down with them rather than fill a form in.

 

[Swartzy]

Sounds like this questionnaire should be put to the whole club, from board to medical department...

How many non responses would we see then though.

Ok cheers.

i'd love to see some of the responses.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Did he? What do you remember about young Moyes when we hired him mate?

Yes
