Why is Sean Dyche and people at the club constantly talking about our fans?

[Nymzee]

No chance. The PL is the be all and end all.

All fans know that. A defeat to Doncaster makes no difference to his career at Everton.

You're naive.

I'd like people to explain to me why Sean Dyche and people at the club are constantly talking about our fans?

Rather than focusing on their own jobs

Why are they at the club constantly trying to tell us all what to think?

Damo - are you as dense as you sound by starting a thread complaining bout the manager complaining about the fans?

 

[Giraffe_Baker]

It's a priority for Dyche.

If we go out on Tuesday he might never get the fans back on side.

Which would prove his point about the fans being desperate for disaster.

 

[davek]

The fella won't see out September.

Clueless.

When we beat B'mouth you;'l be found out. Again.

 

[davek]

You're naive.

Yeah, he'll get the sack if we dont beat Doncaster.

Unreal.

 

[Nymzee]

Which would prove his point about the fans being desperate for disaster.

Erm no. Why would fans want us to go out of a cup???

 

[Nymzee]

Yeah, he'll get the sack if we dont beat Doncaster.

Unreal.

Where did I say that

He's responding to direct questions.

Yet, he's actively engaging in answering them and making it about "the fans"

This isn't the first time people at the club have done this when things aren't going right. I'm not talking about Dyche there either. Making it about "the fans"

The fans aren't doing this. The fans should do this. Etc etc

Plus other stuff.

Dyche - I’m a huge stats man

Because our fans are the biggest bedwetters in the country.

They'll protest Moshiri one minute then ignore the damage he's done by demanding a top half finish for a squad that is one injury away in any position for a 39 year old to come in.

It's an unfathomable shock to our fans that we lost to two teams who've spent £200m and £120-odd million this summer without either losing a first team player.

Yet, he's actively engaging in answering them and making it about "the fans"

This isn't the first time people at the club have done this when things aren't going right. I'm not talking about Dyche there either.

He was asked was it disillusioning to see fans leave.

He either says yes, no, or no comment.

Either way he has to make comment on fans for that question.

He said it's expected when we're crap. Which is fair enough.

He's doing what Moyes does in spades and is trying to downplay expectations and acknowledge reality that we are - IMO, relegation fodder.

He thinks, IMO, that Goodisons last season and the noise and expectation around that risks being a noose to a team who need to sit deep and protect the point.

 

[MrGrumpy]

The fans have every right to moan, we are now massively in debt, on our 4th failed takeover in just over a year
The football is absolutely awful
Can’t score, can’t keep a clean sheet
Managers not got a clue

 

[Damo_1878]

Damo - are you as dense as you sound by starting a thread complaining bout the manager complaining about the fans?

So you're saying he's actually "complaining" about the fans ?

Wow.

He's responding to direct questions.

Yes. There’s clearly a desire from the media to get a sound bite that will engage the fans, as there always is.

I’m not convinced he’s handling it very well, though. The tone of his response last week was ill advised - I interpreted it as a dig back at the fans after they’d booed his Holgate sub - and him pulling Europe as an unreasonable fan expectation out of thin air yesterday was just baffling.

In general, he’s seemed on the defensive as far as his relationship with the fans goes - “I haven’t got a problem with the fans,” is the kind of thing you hear, as opposed to him welcoming support in a more overt way.

Maybe he’s finding it hard to adjust to a fanbase that’s less enamoured of him than Burnley’s.
