2022/23 Sean Dyche

[Lob]

Although it’s the most logical choice it feels like winning second prize in a raffle

More like the booby prize to me tbh.

I can see the logic but damn its depressing and uninspiring.

 

[allen]

Dyche's PPG average in the Premier League is 1.1.

If he matches that average with Everton, we'll end on 39/40 points.

Should be enough.

?

 

[blue to the bone]

We need recruitment to massively improve to fix that. No manager gets this squad playing good winning football.

Maybe. But I think we could have have least had a go. I now think we down in a whimper . We would probably go regardless but id prefer to have a go at least . A totally uninspiring call

 

[DualityNSNO]

People writing him off before he's started. That's the most depressing thing about it.

Would be the case for anyone currently.

 

[neil999]

Another manager that splits an already mutinous fanbase.

Let’s hope he gets off to a flyer.

Honestly think it will be more split on here than the 'regular' fan base, we are all Mad

 

[paultheblue]

Ironically if we had persisted with Sam we would not be in a position where we had to hire Sean Dyche.

I would rather have Dyche than Fat Sam at least you could leave Dyche alone in a room with the petty cash.

 

[barneygumble]

You’re absolutely crackers you lot.

Properly poisonous.

Full disclosure - I’m a Burnley fan. And I also agree that the football under Dyche in the Premier League was, at times, bloody awful.

However, we had absolutely no business being in the Premier League when he took over. The week before the promotion season started he lost Charlie Austin, our one really proven player, and was forced to go with two rookie strikers. He turned Tom Heaton, Ben Mee, Kieran Trippier and Danny Ings from jobbing Championship footballers to internationals - or near as damn it.

The first thing he did was told the players he would not accept anything less than 100%. If you weren’t up for it you were out the door. He had one to one meetings with the players and asked them all to name the trouble makers in the squad - made them think about their behaviour and standards. He asked them why they accepted that slacking off and challenged them to self police the dressing room. He established a culture which elevated them beyond their levels and had us winning at United, Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Chelsea and playing you off the park at your place. That sounds to me a lot better than getting beat at home by Southampton, Wolves and Leicester like you lot have.

Your club is a mess. It has been a mess for decades now. Proper decades. You need a massive reality check and until you accept where you are and what you are you will not improve. Doesn’t matter what you’ve spent, doesn’t matter where you think you should be …… all that matters right now is where you are and how you get out of it.

Bielsa would have been a mental appointment. Absolutely crackers. Dyche gives you a chance if you give him a chance.

And just like that I’m sold

Another manager that splits an already mutinous fanbase.

Let’s hope he gets off to a flyer.

Any manager was going to that.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Need to get anyone who isn’t up for the fight out of the club.

We’re short on offensive talent so need 11 players scrapping every game for the club. I’d be showing Gordon, Doucoure, Keane, Davies Holgate the door and try and get in a few attacking players.

At least Dyche might be able to get a tune out of McNeill.

Christ. Ambition there.

Never could at Burnley so. . .

 

[NorthernBlue]

Do one Everton. Disappear into the abyss

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

If you strip it back and honestly say which of Bielsa or Dyche our current crop of players would respond better to, it’s clearly Dyche. This lot aren’t capable of playing Bielsa‘s style and we all know it. We’d get battered 7-0 every week. This gives us a squeak, but I still think we’re down.

Time to back him.

 

[IrishBlue2022]

Sorry to be clear I don’t think there is any chance he’ll spend £90m so he’s almost certainly not having the impact Howe had .

Hopefully he’ll get a tune out of what he’s got and get a couple in .

There's no guarantee that giving him £90m ensures he has the same impact as Howe, so that also works the same way in that if he is given no resources but manages to maximise what is already at the club he could still have the same impact as Howe. If any club has shown having money doesn't equal progress it's us.

All what ifs, but we will find out come the end of the season and hopefully for our sake it works out.

 

[Tony101]

I will back him I just don’t think he’s the answer. I hope he keeps us up but I don’t think he will. I think we would have gone down under Bielsa too but we would have come straight back up under him too. Dyche am not so sure.

 

[nsno_traditionally]

We've been on the slide all season, been obvious Frank would be sacked since before the world cup, they had months to prepare for him to be replaced and its taken nearly a week for them to come up with Dyche. Sean Dyche.

Wish him the best as I do with all managers naturally but the incompetence of the board is so apparent again, pressure needs to be kept on them.

We can't let the manager and Gordon situation distract from the real issues at the club.

 

[Socrates1882]

Not the manager we want, but the manager we need right now lol

That is the perfect summary.
