This season was and excellent opportunity for Dyche. Probably the biggest of his career. He kept us up by playing defensive, safety first footy when we needed it. Credit where it’s due. Last season in particular nobody can argue with his results. But this year he had a clean slate to try and adapt, to not play turgid stuff and to develop something for thing for the future. The fixture run was absolutely plum. By doing this, he would’ve given any new owner a serious headache about whether to sack him.
For me he’s completely bottled it. He has nothing in his locker except what he’s shown here, and even that, the threat from set pieces etc, seems to have dissipated.
He’s now a man with nothing to play for as he knows he’s out the door as soon as TFG come in. He’s also put us in a very tough position having blown so many easy fixtures. For all parties, the sooner he leaves the better. I think he’ll look back on this season one day and regret it, if he’s humble enough.
