2024/25 Sean Dyche

Championship is a different kettle of fish mate. Maupay was the top goalscorer there. He struggled for Marseille.

NDiaye looks a very good player, lash runners around him and he goes to another level. We have Mykolenko behind him. Id have him behind the striker myself but didn't really do anything there second half Vs Brentford.

Maupay was upfront for potters Brighton when they finished 9th 👍

I wonder if Villa fans thought that when Gerrard was manager and how many thought they were getting relegated because the players were awful. A change to a manager who knew how to succeed and the rest is history, it’s not an implausible concept to suggest a better manager improves this team it’s actually harder to think how it could be worse than how we’ve been lately.

They have a net spend 10 times that of ours over the past 5 years. I wonder if they thought of that.

Not a defense of Dyche, but another knock of Moshiri.

Search my username and "emery"

You'll see I was in the minority wanting him after he left Arsenal. You'll see I wanted us to sack Lampard and get him. You'll see I was gutted when Villa got him.

We're miles away from a manager of that to standard now.

TFG+promise of spend puts us back in the game. My pick would be Mancini.

[Edit] to Add. Villa have spent £307m since hiring Emery. Emery would struggle with this Everton team.

Quick, put that little fella him up front and launch balls one hundred feet in the air to him… I mean what competent, professionally employed football manager of the last 25 years would contemplate doing that?!
 
The Villa Gerrard/Emery comparison isn’t great as they had a fantastic squad which was being coached woefully by a terrible manager. They now have a fantastic squad which is overachieving because of a brilliant manager.

We have a crap squad which is doing crap with a crap manager.

….to be fair, he’s pretty much said the same thing after most games since he’s been here; lack of quality in possession, no adequate goalscorer and failure to exploit opportunities in the top third.

He’s been spot on with that judgement.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an almost public spat going on between manager & DOF. Thelwell will hate these regular jibes from Dyche at the lack of quality at his disposal. Thelwell knows the fans loath Dyche and leaks to Bobble that he wants him sacked. Such conflict will inevitably manifest itself on the pitch.

They both need moving on now.

Do you know it’s Thelwell definitely leaking to outside sources?
 
I think I would sack Dyche tomorrow and ask big dunc to stand in until the takeover is complete. Although not a great manager he might get something out of this squad to get us a few surprise results in December.
