Sometimes you've got to cut your losses. Carlo Ancelotti speaks of each job having a natural cycle, and sometimes that cycle ends naturally before you would really like it to. That's one man who generally knows when to drop the lifeboat and get off the sinking ship.
Don’t agree….we really do not how effective anyone is being with Kenwright and Moshir in charge. You can’t sympathise with Dyche and blame Thelwell when no one knows for certain how hamstrung Thelwell has been in doing his job. It’s too simplistic. It would also be the third DoF to have failed alongside what…seven/eight managers? There’s a trend there that points to the idiots above
Sad but true. Unfortunately he also needs to be in midfield. So naturally he’s been stuck on the right wing where we could’ve easily just played Danjuma or Dobbin and maybe had some semblance of a threat
Oh it definitely points to the clowns above - but Thelwell knew the limitations - as did Dyche - when he came in. I just don't see what Thelwell has to offer any club. Dyche at least has a record to point to. He might not have it for much longer, though, if he is not careful...
His system doesn't work though Dave that's the issue. It's too negative and players end up chasing shadows all the time. You simply have to offer more at this level now. Every time we had the ball Villa got it back easily because EFC players had nobody to pass too because we don't get forward quick enough because the setup doesn't allow it thus we ended up giving the ball back to Villa. He does need the injured players back I agree but he needs to come up with some answers to problems and do it quickly otherwise he is going to be on borrowed time, it was always going to be a big job for someone of Dyches limited ability lbh.
He knew what was coming hence his approach to Madrid. Even Brands said at one point Moshiri wanted to sack him and he had to argue to keep him in the post. The club at board and owner level are amateurs in a professional game.
D'you know what Chris, I forget which manager it was now that you actually supported. Was it Lampard or Dyche for just last season?
Absolutely. The longer this ownership survives, the more likely it is that we don't.
One’s area of performance is completely in the view of the public whilst another’s, has a lot of behind the scenes work as well eg footballing infrastructure alongside transfer activity. No one fully knows what Thelwell is doing behind the scenes - we simply do not know but wouldn’t it be odd if he also has failed as well as the two previous people in that role. Even if he did leave we either scrap the role or recruit for it and Pinky and Perky would be the two that appoint his successor.
