2023/24 Sean Dyche

[MikeH72]

What could have been...

He would’ve lasted 18 months tops in the job.

What could have been...

He'd have lost his lego hair by now for sure.

Imagine him trying to play a high press and possession football with Mick Keggers

No Oink Oink tho.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Assuming 1 happens, for me if he gets us stable and in to the top half in that time, he'll deserve a few windows were he can actually spend.

Interestingly though, in his post match interview after Bournemouth last season, he explicitly said let's get things stable and competitive and then bring a "fashionista" in. Was surprised to hear a manager speak about his own demise.

But what if next year we finish at a very stable 15th, maybe even without worrying for relegation for the last 3 games, what defines stable in a Sean Dyche world?

 

[Furey1878]

Aren’t we sort of still trying to get over the days we give managers money in the market? It’s how we ended up with a load of number 10’s or signing Allan for £30m or signing players off of YouTube (Martinez)

Yeah, but still, now we have comically little money so there is very little wiggle room for us.

Ideally, we'll be a bit more liquid in a couple of years but even then I would hope the policy is still buy low, buy potential, smart free signings and loans.

 

[Furey1878]

My parameters were very clear. Stability is what we need but with no signs of progression we'd have to look elsewhere.

Maybe there would be caveats if the club was still being ran like a circus and we'd faced more points deductions but in a normal season, going from 17th to 15th isn't a great sign of progress.

 

[Furey1878]

He would’ve lasted 18 months tops in the job.

That's it init, at best we'd have had a good season, and a top club would come in. We'd have still been potless so he defo would have left.

What could have been...

Would this have been instead of ancelotti?

 

[MikeH72]

Would this have been instead of ancelotti?

Assume so yeah. Appointing Ancelotti was pointless anyway seeing as we let him have a stupid clause in his contract where he could walk away whenever he felt like it, an opportunity which he duly took, before then trying to sue the club for reasons. It was a stupid appointment in hindsight with everything we now know about how the club was ran and the ins and outs of his contract.

It was exciting at the time tho! Everything goes wrong...

This is a microcosm of Moshiri’s time at the club. Everything is “exciting at the time”, until you realise later down the line how mind bogglingly stupid it was. Signing Gomes permanently was exciting at the time for a lot of people.

Bolasie was never exciting

 

[MikeH72]

Bolasie was never exciting

Haha agreed.

 

[Nymzee]

Haha agreed.

You're saying this isn't the best compilation video you've ever seen on YouTube?

It’s a close second just behind Sandro’s compilation that made him look like the love child of R9 and Marco van Basten.
