I think that's overlay harsh mate. He walked into a club that just wasn't competitive, players melted, the culture was bad and mentality poor. It doesn't matter if you throw James Rodriguiz in there - or drop 40 mill on one player, if you dont rectify that you get no where. The first thing any manager worth his salt does is make us competitive, change the culture and build a mentality. I see that in spades. I think the squad overall lacks quality, but we have a chance of getting a result in any game in this league. Despite being in the lower part of the league in squad depth, historical planning, good governance and overall quality - particularly in advanced areas. Hes working with what hes got to be honest. The difference in all i describe from him to previous managers, is strikingly better - that is the sign of a very good manager.
You describe, his time at Burnley bleakly, but he also built the club from the bottom up appexing in Europe, its a kin to say a manger at Plymouth today bringing a club up and getting them into Europe. I think we all know relatively speaking he never spent big at Burnley.
On recuritment - i agree to an extent its an open question, but i dont think hes ever worked without limits, but i think hes earned the chance to have a go, i know hes balanced a woefully unbalanced squad in the summer and is picking up better comparative results and we are more competitive and earned more points. I often wonder what impact our fiancial limits have on managers. Take Moyes you could argue he made in the main pragmatic signings when here, with a few bob hes now signing the likes of Kudos, Pauqetta etc. I find that interesting.
I think there is an appreciation amonsgt the majority - that any other manager in our history hasnt had this level of adversity so like for like comparsons cant be made, if we dont have a ponits deduction we are more or less safe and higher up the table - which indicates incremental progress - thats the underlying thread organically and i think fair minded people see that.
Id take Moyes back in a heart beat to be honest. But i dont see him doing much difference with the hand Dyche has been dealt if im honest. It need two to three years of stablising the ship.
