2023/24 Sean Dyche

[darkwingduck]

Think he's on a hiding to nothing, like any other manager would be. We've only been heading in one direction for years and that's obviously downwards. It'd take a an actual genius to single handedly transform the football structure and squad to the point where we perform significantly better than battling relegation.

Part of me thinks relegation may be good for us in the long run. Villa, Newcastle, Brighton, these are clubs that were in the championship a few years ago. They came back stronger after having a real clearout of the dross that had accumulated. Maybe it's what we need

No; there’s nothing positive about relegation.

It’ll financially ruin us for a decade or more

 

[badloaf]

When?!

11:00am on Thursday morning. Should draw a big crowd.

 

[badloaf]

No; there’s nothing positive about relegation.

Exactly. We need a change of ownership not league.

 

[bigboper]

Burnley fan here I,ve got huge respect for Dychey for what he did at Turf Moor but some of the things he comes out with are just the same as when he was at Burnley. The Dyche /PL fit is really a myth. Buying players and not playing them (Gibson £12m} is something he does. Maybe the difference is that the squad at Burnley were Dychey type players there was always a suspicion his type of player management would not work with higher profile players. Anyway it is early days yet so plenty of points still to play for.

 

[Carlito]

If he doesn't have at least nine points on the board by the time the first derby rolls around, we'll be appointing whoever's next on the list of humiliations in January.

Should have just thanked him for limping over the line and looked elsewhere at the end of last season, but that wouldn't have been very Everton, would it?

 

[Mrbluenose]

No; there’s nothing positive about relegation.

Exactly.

We don't need relegation.

We need new, competent ownership and leadership.

9-12 points and still in the league cup (draw dependant) by the derby game or hes in trouble.

Writing could be on the wall well before then and I don’t advocate sacking managers with the joke of an owner and board still entrenched at the club.

He has to make changes to the system and the players he’s selecting or he’ll sack himself.

Should have gone after his “bonus” for avoiding relegation like you say.

If we're bottom three come the Derby we should have someone else waiting in the wings.

Let Dyche have that game and then get rid.

But we all know it will be late Jan before a change is made if it's needed.

 

[Mrbluenose]

I would just add I hope he does OK and lasts until the end of the season.

I don't want this owner and Chairman picking another manager. They're not very good at it.

the pasting we usually sack managers after
derby deteats

 

[DualityNSNO]

Exactly.

We don't need relegation.

We need new, competent ownership and leadership.

And also a competent manager.

 

[MACCA75]

All the bluster after that Bournemouth game about how we haven’t been acting like a big club and his big master plan to change it and then he wheels out the exact same side the following season minus its best defender but with a 40 year old full back. Absolute joke.

I mean the signs were there that this was exactly what was going to happen and it got called out, to the T, by a lot of people on here.

Yet, the good times and the massive achievement that he himself nearly sabotaged swayed public opinion and we were gonna be Sean Dyche's army or something.

 

[Drico]

He gets 10 games for me, which takes us to the start of November.

If we are bottom 3 and looking as bad as we did on Sunday, he's toast.

New guy comes in after we inevitably get bummed in the derby and has a couple of months before the window.

The window? Like the one Dyche had last January?

I’ve no stake in Dyche succeeding, but I’d love to see the same pressure applied to the board as we love to apply to our managers.
