The return of David Moyes

[GrandOldTeam]

2.5 year deal. OK that's mental

2 and a half years is a joke

Inevitable.

I don't think that's particularly surprising, given that most people who were advocating keeping Dyche were doing so precisely so that we didn't end up having to appoint someone like Moyes to replace him. There's no doubt that we'd have been in a better position to bring in a manager in the summer, and the hope was that Dyche could just do enough to tide us over until then. Unfortunately recent weeks showed that wasn't going to happen and he rightly got the bullet, but now we're in the position that I desperately wanted us to avoid - wasting another couple of years with a dull manager instead of getting on with a proper rebuild.

If given the choice, believe it or not, personally I would also rather Dyche was good at his job and had us stable so that we didn’t have to appoint another relegation firefighter. But, alas.

That's it then. Any stumbling blocks dealt with, and on to the finer details - backroom staff and transfer budget. Would like to see Carsley here with him, but no indication that's a runner.
Billy McKinlay to join as assistant most likely. Think Leighton will be given a role too.

 

[Harryflashman]

It's all very underwhelming isn't it..

I mean it really is

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Just get on with it if it has to happen.

Onwnership is finally sorted. Hopefully don’t have to think about PSR. Stadium literally exists. Now we don’t have spend every minute moaning about Dyche and guessing when he is going to be sacked, there is a tiny window to just watch the football, utilitarian as it may be for a while.

 

[MarkHollis]

Moyes out! Despite the fact he's not in yet!

 

[jceverton]

As much as I dislike Moyes style of play, he was hardly a failure.

Yep not winning a trophy is failure.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

The only good thing about the 2.5 year contract is we can now bring in players he wants and has identified - if it were a 6 month deal we would have had the same issue as before in the summer, new players on long contracts for managers that do not want them.

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

I feel underwhelmed by it but this is the situation we are in. Let's hope he can hit the ground running.

 

[BloodOnTheTrax]

2.5 years seems about right. From Moyes point of view, he gets a pay off if hes fired.

 

[sw blue]

We need a CF to go with this. What is this guy up to recently?

 

[jazzy]

Supposedly sorting his back room staff out as we speak.

Is Alan Irvine again?

 

[maccavennie]

Does anyone know if he's getting offered a 2.5yr deal, a 2 and a half year deal or a 29 month deal?

 

[efcste97]

Inevitable.

18 months would've made sense, 2.5 years though?

 

[neil999]

Maybe we will have a decent break clause, who knows...
