2024/25 Sean Dyche

[JJK]

The bar for what is acceptable at this football club is a disgrace.

 

[rochdaleblue]

I mentioned a couple of days ago that I think that the new owners will be conservative in giving more players with expiring contracts a new contract than fans would expect, and thus reduce the number of new players that will be signed in either January or the summer. This is purely from a business mindset in not wanting to lose so many resources with institutional knowledge at the same time.

For similar reasons, especially with whats happened with Roma this season, I think they'll give Dyche to the summer and evaluate how they think he'd do with better players before coming to a decision on whether to get rid or not. As bad as we are, the chances of relegation are practically nil given how truly awful some of the teams below us are. We're brutally poor, but we're way more likely to draw or fluke a win than anyone below us. Swapping out the manager could change that for the worse as difficult as it is to believe. They got it badly wrong with Juric, and have paid the price financially and on the field. Arriving into a completely new league, what would give them confidence they could do a better job here?

Chances of relegation are virtually nil? Have you watched us this season mate? I can’t see 3 teams worse than us.

There is no bar anymore, mate.

Told anyone who'd listen on here before a ball was kicked this season. We're still relegation fodder who'd remain in a relegation scrap.

As I've said for 3/4 years now. This team don't have a final third capable of scoring which dictates relegation scrap. People told me NDiaye and Lindstrom would resolve that. Nope.

I hoped we'd be 17th come January under new ownership who could spend. I think that hope is optimistic at the moment.

Still relegation fodder?

We got 48 points last season - more than Bournemouth, Fulham, Forest, Brentford and equal to Brighton

Do any of those clubs look like 'relegation fodder'?

The manager has successfully lowered expectations to the point where staying up would be a massive success

Don't drink the Dyche Kool-Aid (Which is actually Bovril laced with Rohypnol)

Absolutely spot on.

I’m sure the response will be net spend, making profit each window.

I also don't like the excuse that we don't have players in our attack that can score goals. They're being managed by someone who actively doesn't train and implement patterns of play to score goals. Get a manager in who does and that will change.

Blows my mind when people are so sure we are so much better than the teams below us. Especially when they have literally watched the worst of the lot BEAT us in a football match recently.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Currently...
Julen Lopetegui - 11/10
Russell Martin - 6/4
Sean Dyche - 4/1
Gary O'Neil - 5/1
Oliver Glasner - 16/1

I’m sure the response will be net spend, making profit each window.

Forest had a net spend of £19m in the summer
Bournemouth £34m

 

[NathDogg]

When it’s all going Pete tong yesterday, after starting the game ok, we make like for like subs and change nothing in terms of shape or system.

He’s got no clue how to get us out of this tailspin, none at all.

 

[Lapeno77]

Currently...
Julen Lopetegui - 11/10
Russell Martin - 6/4
Sean Dyche - 4/1
Gary O'Neil - 5/1
Oliver Glasner - 16/1

Scary that.

The bookies know there is no chance of him being sacked anytime soon.

I’ve said it a few times mate that even before a ball was kicked he was setting his own narrative about relegation etc, that way he would make himself look like a miracle worker if he kept us up and the media and a chunk of our fans fell for it.

 

[Thomasc]

Despite the football being absolutely appalling last season, there’s no denying he did well to steady the ship.

It was sticking a plaster over a gaping hole though, as the club had deep issues with regards to finances so improving again this season was always going to be 50/50.

It’s the shockingly bad performances we are now seeing week after week. It looks like he has 100% lost the players and they don’t enjoy playing for him and his style of football which to be honest had a short shelf life, so it’s not totally unexpected.

We need a fresh face and a different voice in the coaching set up and dressing room. If we leave it too late we are bang in trouble again.

Hmm takeover happens next 2 weeks and that 4/1 looks a tasty price.
