2024/25 Sean Dyche

They gave up when we put 5 past them on their own ground. One performance does not extrapolate out to the entire club though. We played badly yesterday no one is denying that. Brighton will have their days this season when they take an absolute battering, after about 20 mins I thought they were one of the worst PL teams of ever seen at Goodison and some teams will be on a good day against them when they’re on a bad day and they’ll be getting punted all over the shop, Every club not called Manchester City or Arsenal are going to have days like this. It’s not indicative of anything, the season is long, players change, lineups change, form comes and goes. This is the reality of mid to lower mid table football.

Must have missed Dyche’s arrogant post match interview then. He thought everything was fine and blamed the players, ref and fans.

The ownership picture is the most importantly issue at the club now that needs to be resolved. We’re in a holding pattern until that’s resolved. Fortunately we’ve been in the PL during this period and might just limp into the new stadium but we’ve still probably got 12-24 months of this before anything substantial changes at the macro level.

New owner, new board of directors, resolution on DOF and manager positions, another year of PS&R easing, a gradual improvement of the squad within PS&R limits over a couple of windows. That’s all just to see us stable in the prem in a new stadium. At that point a new structure might have been in place long enough to start turning the dial but everything until that point is just different shades of how do you like your mid table?

We’ll lose some weeks, we’ll win some weeks, we’ll end up probably similar to where we were in the table last season. People can vent their spleen if they want over individual games, moments, decisions, but honestly even if we’d won 3-0 yesterday it isn’t changing that overall bigger picture unfortunately. Until Moshiri and Textor (or another) come to an agreement, we remain in this limbo.

I completely agree. And most people know deep down that structural changes are dictating who we employ as manager and how we play, tbf.

But the fanbase is so volatile. Ok, the performance wasn't great - especially second half - but calling for major changes after a first game loss is outrageous.

hmmm judging from his post match interview i'm not sure he does.

absolutely lost the plot all day yesterday.

people can keep saying we stayed up because of dyche, but we stayed up because teams below us have been diabolical.

he done OK last season, and he did have a lot to contend with, but our squad was far better than the 3x teams who went down, so he should be keeping us up anyway.

i cannot watch another season of football like that home though

He's been here 20 months and this is the worst 20 months or so for the last 70 years.

There's no point in denying he has resolve and determination. He maybe needs to mind his 'Ps and Qs' at times when addressing questions, but he's about all that stands in the way of us and relegation IMO.

He needs his own contract, and his staffs, sorting out too, btw.
