2024/25 Sean Dyche

[NathDogg]

This club is sleep walking.

Zombie club, have been for years.

 

[Big Bad Blue]

Does it get cheaper to sack him the more his contract dwindles down, or will there be a set fee no matter what?

Nobody knows unfortunately.

Surely somebody at the club must know.

I agree - but "people" need to be ignored, and by "people" I mean people who never wanted to give Dyche a chance in the first place. If we had ground out a draw with Brighton and held on against Bournemouth, people like me - those who are fair-minded and keenly aware of the dysfunctional bin fire Dyche has to work in - would be more than satisfied.

Had we gone to Villa Park and played out a scoreless draw, that would have been an excellent evening's work. But to go two-up two weeks running and soil our pants, nah, sorry. That's torturing people and shows that Dyche's methods are all over the shop.

Basically, if he is trying to transition to a more offensive style he should be sacked anyway, because he hasn't the players for this. This season is not the season for showing he can manage better players. This is the season for showing he can manage what he has. Dourly is fine. His task is 17th, clean sheets, hard to break down, fourth-best defence in the league. These are his calling cards. Going two up only to lose two weeks running suggests he's Ossie Ardiles or Roberto Martinez: not long for this league.

Mind you, this is why Textor's intervention is so unhelpful. He undermined the manager last week. So, Dyche possibly feels he is on a loser no matter what. In those circumstances, why wouldn't he take a punt on going forward. But then you look at our pitiful players...

A total mess.

There is only one way Dyche keeps us up. Back to basics: tough to break down, defensive solidity and ignore the Lampard fans.

Does 27% possession really suggest offensive football to you? There's no reason we shouldn't be better in transition. We were far from attacking yesterday; even spitty pointed out how little we had the ball and how much pressure we invited onto ourselves in the second half. Somehow suggesting going 2-0 up is a bad thing is strange,
If he truly were the defensive mastermind that people claim, he should be able to coach the team to maintain leads. The reality is that Keane unsettles the entire defense, and nothing will change until Branthwaite is back.

 

[JelavicBrate2]

Dyche simply doesn't inspire confidence in players, DCL would of scored those 2 chances under Ancelotti. It's ridiculous that he's still here.

 

[chippy1722]

1) he doesnt have to put keane or holgate in ( one doesnt even play for us anymore ) because we have just signed a new defender, it's purely his choice to play keane over o'brien, bearing in mind he's doing exactly what he did when he last had a few games in the team and thats concede for fun until big yerry come in and saved the day.

2) i agree our full backs are bad, but again HIS choice to play a 40 year old there instead of say Dixon who at least can run, and didnt do badly in his only other start.

3) be honest, is anyone even slightly arsed we sold onana? I'm not, i have no issue with swapping him + 40m for tim.

4) Dyche is the problem.

I’m with you number 3, We definitely got the better deal, and by the end of the season I can see Villa fans agreeing, he will spend half the season on the floor. I can’t believe he stood up and once the ball crossed the line dived back down on the floor.

It's true, but tbh in DCL's case it's more the injuries and his mental health issues.

 

[nsno-chris]

Has he been sacked yet

Mate, come on. DCL can't hit a barn door if he's 1 on 1. Not everything is the managers fault

 

[Delargeinho]

Has he been sacked yet

Won't happen this week respectively the next week before the Leicester game.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Has he been sacked yet

On the verge of a contract extension.

 

[Del-boy]

Probably won’t be sacked until the accounts are out for this financial year. Can’t be having him compounding our PSR issues with his payoff.

 

[MikeH72]

Probably won’t be sacked until the accounts are out for this financial year. Can’t be having him compounding our PSR issues with his payoff.

This doesn’t make any sense, whether he gets sacked now or in February it’ll still fall under the 2024/25 accounts.

 

[Delargeinho]

This doesn’t make any sense, whether he gets sacked now or in February it’ll still fall under the 2024/25 accounts.

It would be a few millions more to spend as of now say some, but t see the other side. +1 place on the table gives an extra 2 or 3 millions placement bonus...
