Lighthouse Posted 7 August, 2022 Share Posted 7 August, 2022 As I say every time his name pops up; he ended up 15 points behind Ralph with a better team, when he was sacked. If you want a different manager then fine but that man should not be Dyche. You think one win in 13 is bad? Dyche won one game up to Valentine’s Day last season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 7 August, 2022 Share Posted 7 August, 2022 (edited) I think what you look at with Dyche is what made him successful at Burnley. Two target men centre forwards, wide players who got up and down the line, and old CB's who just dug in. A proper old fashioned 4-4-2 English setup. When they tried to move away from that at Burnley and bring in Cornet, Collins, attacking wing back Conor Roberts (more footballing type players) he started to struggle. Bring him in here and we have none of the players to create the team he would like to. It would be a daft move that would end in misery for everyone.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 7 August, 2022 Share Posted 7 August, 2022 (edited) I don’t think he’d be any better than RH, especially if we’re looking to blood the youngsters in then we need someone a bit more attacking/dynamic with their tactics. Sean Dyche likes a spine down the team. Solid GK, two CB’s, two CM’s, two CF’s. We don’t have that, even though 95% of people have been crying out for it for years. So we wouldn’t be a good fit for him either. Edited 7 August, 2022 by FarehamSaintJames 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Nimbus Posted 8 August, 2022 Share Posted 8 August, 2022 (edited) He is clearly a good manager at a certain level. He actually would have been a better fit when we had Adams & Ings up top. He doesn't fit what we are clearly looking to do, i'd be amazed if he became the manager if Ralph were to go.

John Boy Saint Posted 8 August, 2022 Share Posted 8 August, 2022 He is better than most of you are giving him credit for - he worked what the budget allowed - admittedly it wasn’t pretty, but until the take over and the lead up to it - he more often than not out performed his resources. the head to head between us is pretty even. Certainly not going “ooo yes please” - but ultimately none of us have any say in the matter.

I do rate Dyche, but I'd say the bigger issue is that the styles of football would completely counter everything that Ralph / the club have put in place over the last few years. Now there is definitely an arguement as to whether it's right or not, becuase the first team is failing, but I can't see the club ripping something up which has taken so long to put in place, for a manager like Dyche. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not in any way suggesting Dyche is the man for the job but Dyche has finished 7th and 10th in the premier league with a very small budget taking Burnley into Europe, he's achieved more in the premier league than Ralph has. It's easy to dismiss managers because of one bad season, like how its now fashionable to ignore everything Eddie Howe achieved at Bouremouth and repeat verbateum "he got them relegated" and how he's only doing well at Newcastle because he's got money, when at Bournemouth his critics said he was crap at spending money. All managers have a shelf life at a club, Dyche and Howe came to the end of thiers Ralph is approaching the end of his. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said he had been working within the confines of his resources, curious how despite being viewed as a lesser team, they managed to keep hold of Pope and Tarkowski (sp?) when they were viewed as better than Burnley, obviously money likely spoke. How much was down to Dyche as a person. I think he is football savvy beyond what some give him credit for - when he was at Watford and we played them, his managers programme notes were spread over 2 pages and were a good read, very different to the majority of programmes notes. If we were to get him at some point, I doubt there are many places to hide in training. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toussaint Posted 8 August, 2022 Share Posted 8 August, 2022 I don't think someone like Dyche would be bought in, unless it was a last effort ditch to save us from relegation. I get the impression that we are now working to a different model, where the manager is simply a coach, another part of the management team, who can be "swapped out" for a coach 2.0 should the need arise. In answer to the question, yes I would have him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All managers have a shelf life at a club, Dyche and Howe came to the end of thiers Ralph is approaching the end of his. I’m not dismissing him because of one bad season and agree what he did on the budget wasn’t bad. It’s the style of play I don’t want. I remember a few seasons back being soaked at Turf Moor watching us lose 3 nil after being bullied and not coping with the aerial bombardment (I recall a particularly amusing Vestergard moment where he completed got done by the ball bouncing around in the force 9). Thoroughly miserable but I do remember thinking, at least I don’t have to watch this Burnley dirge every week and I felt more sorry for the Burnley fans. I know we’re terrible at the moment but at least we are trying (failing) to play the right way. On the rare recent occasion it has worked, like the previous Spurs game, it’s given me arguably my best away game ever. So new manager yes, but I think we can do better than dinosaur Dyche. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His biggest downfall was staying a season too long. Burnley we’re a mess post take over, would read too much into what happened there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one or the other. Its been more than 10 games though and aside from summer 2020 staying up has been a bit more squeaky bum than it should be. I recall an interview with Chris Marsden when Glen Hoddle came in, up until that point CMFG freely admitted that when the team took to the field the first thought was don't get beaten then don't get beaten by many, "if we won, that was a pleasant surprise"! He said Hoddle reversed that mindset and send us out expecting to win every week. By and large it worked - the performances improved. If we lost it hurt rather, than before "ah well". Being told we can't defend on Saturday, the same thing being said towards the end of last season, by the man in the position to stop the rot. We do seem to be stepping out to play in that old mindset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no squeaky bum time, people just said that because of some bizarre paranoia that the likes of Burnley, Fulham and Huddersfield would all suddenly start playing like Champions League teams.
