Barkley is an interesting one….the Luton boss was close lipped when discussing his contract but I’d imagine it was only a year - he definitely has something that our current midfield set up does not have
I understand the criticisms, but really he's stood tall and given us a figurehead when all the suits at the club let us down and were ready to capitulate.
He's been the difference between survival and the Championship...x2 seasons.
Pretty it is not, and Dyche has had his fair share of criticism BUT...to have had to endure what he has, to have to overcome an 8 point deduction and to have still kept us up with 4 games to go well that is progress on last year. Love him or hate...
I know this pain!! Been going for similar amount of time and we've always been pretty crap apart from a brief spell under Moyes and even that had its ceiling.
