Whilst Dyche and Thelwell are in the last year of their contracts they won’t be getting a renewal no matter if he turns things around. Thelwell doesn’t have to be sacked, may not even be a new owner in by Jan transfer window so he is here until a takeover occurs as a minimum. Dyche will need a miracle of results to be retained if he is still here at the end of the year but that’s highly doubtful. On the flip side Moshiri will be hoping he gets a trickle of results, so he doesn’t have to appoint a new Manager. If he does there is no way he is offering a new Manager any longer than to the end of the season, so as it makes it easier and less expensive for the new owner to bring in his choice picks. Having a choice to retain or appoint a new Manager and Director of Football at no cost would help negotiations. I don’t think there are too many even half decent managers willing to join on those terms, so we are probably a few loses away before his hand is forced.
