    Starting to think we'd do well to finish +9 above the drop... :oops:

    You say "He has been extremely lucky that there are 3 of the worst teams to have come up in the league this season" Hes won 38 points from 33 games.

    Crux of it was he rocked up, said we're crap and there's no way he could keep this team in the Prem which had a torrid run of games coming up as there was no legs/pace; Dyche, through his own admission got the job because of the desperate state we were in, and there wasn't anyone else...

    If that's true, and if 777 happened who apparently rate Thelwell - there's every chance we get Corberán then. Not sure it will be true though - he'd only been a West Brom a few months at that stage. [Edit - he'd been at West Brom for 90 days when we sacked Lampard] And he feels a bit meh to me;

    How do you know who Kevin Thelwell wanted? And if he's had no say over who comes in as manager - then he hasn't got a backbone has he? What DOF would stay with such little input? With that in mind I think Thelwell did want Dyche.

    So you're qualified enough to say sack him, but not give a single name on who could replace him? If you can shout to sack him, then you can put a name forward. Remember, the very qualified people you refer to, are the same people who employed Dyche - who, has achieved the objective asked of...

    Give any manager the budget Dyche had at Burnley and eventually they go down. Averaged £9m net spend, per season. Kompany spent more last summer than Dyche did in his whole time there - still taking them right down. Ignore all the boring, tedious finances stuff for a minute and consider we've...

    ^ This is always the answer when you ask who would replace him. I read that as "no clue, roll the dice. Have a gamble". We had that luxury in years prior the last few. Small margins now though. Keep Dyche, add some pace/attacking talent and we could repeat this season - which I'd take. As...

    I rate Thomas Frank, but even he has less points than Dyche this season and has had years to get his team together... He was fuming at Brentfords fans for showing discontent when behind at Chelsea. He'd be demented here.

    1. Didn't say at any point he'd guarantee to keep us up. As for Dyche at Burnley, as I've already educated you; 2. We're all guessing - it's a football forum for opinions. My view is our team - including half of yesterdays starting 11 will be gone in a few weeks - would not cope with the...

    After the last 2 seasons, winning 38 points from 33 games with this team - with all the chaos at the club is a job well done. His objective was to keep us in the league. Whether you like it or not - points on the board - he's improved us. In very difficult circumstances. I'd take the same...

    Luton have won 6 all season. 6 in 34 games. To win 2 in 4 games is a huge ask. A third of their total wins this season in 4 games. Even applying 'sods law' - to also not expect us to pick up another single point in 5 games? I think that weekend sorted us.

    It is. For any manager, IMO - with this squad. Massive summer ahead. We'll likely sell Onana/Branthwaite. We need to recruit well and bring in a few in the final third+some pace or we'll be fighting relegation again next year.
