Agree with some of your points mate, we find ourselves in this position in having him as our manager because of years of mismanagement, Will not disagree with that at all, and i admire some aspects of the job he has done, he did well with the defence last season, so fair play to him, though prior to having branthwaite it was actually pretty poor, and his insistence on playing Michael Keane nearly destroyed us in it's self, but with Branthwaite, he seemed to learn eventually so fair play.
On the counter to that, we had the 2nd worst attack in the whole league, is all of that his fault? No, but his refusal to change personnel or try something different, is his fault.
I also think he has managed us in difficult circumstances, it would be unfair to say otherwise and i credit him for putting up with that, what i will not accept is that he was the only manager to be able to keep us up in those circumstances, he in fact, most definitely isn't and i think its a narrow minded view (one that you may not share) to say otherwise, people so easily forget he was a doucoure goal out of no where, away from getting us relegated, and that would have ben all he is known for.
Disagree also with your view that he's a very good manager within the range of average managers, he isn't, for me. He is just a bang average manager with limited ability to change, and turgid football.
To compare him to Moyes, i feel is slightly insulting to Moyes, moyes could, did and would change how we played, I'm not a huge lover of Moyes, and he did indeed do a job, but it was far better than what Dyche did, in terms of football.
For me Dyches' job was to get us to safety until BMD, if he does that, then thank you, but that's where his job ends, and we move on to try and improve, the longer you keep someone like Dyche, is the longer you cement yourself into that 'safe' but bottom 5 type team.
Respect your opinion mate!
