Perhaps he was promised he would be fully supported by the owner before said owner promptly scuttled off and spent the rest of the season trying to sell us off to the shabbiest set of potless yank crooks he could find?I heard him say that the job is not what was pitched too him, I would be interested to know the context for that. We were in a relegation scrap when he came so i wonder what the job pitch was that hasn't been apparent so far?
Allardyce didn’t even try to. Complains he was given an opportunity to show a different style of play, but we were safe with lik 6/7 games left and he played the exact same tactics.I heard him say that the job is not what was pitched too him, I would be interested to know the context for that.

On a side note, We've been crying out for some stability and too stop sacking managers, by hook or by crook, Dyche survived that situation during a terrible run that would've seen him off last few seasons. He actually turned them around and didn't allow them too hide so he has my respect for that. I guess sometimes seeing things through can benefit.
I've said all season I like what he has done off the field but on it we had a few months of utter dirge that wasn't good enough. I'm interested too see if he can progress with pressure off in a way Allardyce couldn't. he can't have a winless run like that again though, you have to set yourself some standards in a world where they won't resign anymore.
Anyway, job done, we go again next season.
We didn’t win for 4 Months and he didn’t change anythingBeing hard to beat is a great quality to have, why do you keep bringing that up as a negative?
Pep plays 4 CBs most games and at one point was playing one in midfield as well.
I don’t know any bottom half team that is able to outweigh having a poor defence with having a good attack. None. So why would any logical manager try to do that when his attacking players are McNeil DCl Beto Harrison Chermiti?
The primary remit of any manager is to win games in the best manner they can, not to do it in a certain way that some fans approve of. We can’t get into basketball games with teams or we will lose every time.
He wanted Bielsa, dyche was 2nd choice once he turned us downWhether you like it or not, it was a key appointment that Moshiri has gotten right. 2 pts deductions and a season of turmoil. He was evidently the perfect manager to deal with that.
And we beat the kopites for the first time in 14 years at home, 4 wins on the bounce now at home too.
Yeah but Bielsa wanted to manage the U21 team, so that if we went down he could literally say that was nothing to do with himHe wanted Bielsa, dyche was 2nd choice once he turned us down

Wow delusional of the highest order. Yes goodison loves it, that’s why there’s been constant boos, moans and groans. The place has been like a morgue most weeks. Who enjoy this football, this up and them, dogs of war is a narrative that kopites use to be little us, Everton don’t want good football they want to fight and scrap, it’s embarrassing.He has picked weird teams at times and his love for a few players is scary, all managers do this though. People seem to be holding him up to a comparison of perfection, Ancelotti made mistakes, are we expecting Dyche not to?
He actually plays the football Goodison likes, up and at em, he is constrained though by the fact we don't have wingers or fullbacks with pace that can stretch the defence. You would also want a skillful midfield pivot who can really pick a through ball. We can't afford to buy any of these so I can understand the pragmatism. When we do eventually get funds it will be interesting to see what type of player is brought in to see if we have been learning lessons.
To the Dyche out crew, there is zero chance he loses his job before next season, so we all have to back him. Like it or not. With an ownership structure in place I doubt he would be allowed to go on the bad run we had after Christmas, so no guarantees he remains manager for the whole season unless he has ironed out those problems and has a method to pull out of any tailspin quicker.
This season was going to be an improvement,Well he did because we’ve just won 4 out of 5 games. So he obviously did change something.
It’s a marked improvmeent across 38 games than last season. Isn’t upward trajectory what everyone wants? What if we improve by the same amount next season and we’re mid 50s points? Any new manager we then hire is picking up a more stable team with a far better mentality than the one Dyche picked up.
