Not sure he’d care either way. If we survive and he is relieved of his duties he’ll pocket a big wedge of cash, and can (sort of legitimately) claim it’s all been a success, reputation intact-ish, and will be managing one of the newly promoted clubs in 18th place by November.
I want him to stay whatever happens on Sunday, even though his repeated soundbites started grating by March, and while results have been better than Lampard, I think he could have squeezed a couple more points out of the matches we had (e.g. go for the throat at Leicester). We’ll be shopping in the whoops aisle in summer. Rather him do that than some Portuguese wonder kid manager with “potential” and mad ways of setting up a team.
There are far more important ins and outs at the club to be sorted over summer. Dyche, his staff and Kev should just crack on with pre-season and let whatever nonsense goes on in the boardroom to others. Keep all that chaos away from the playing staff.
