2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

[Titus Shambles]

Add the draws and it probably keeps a team in the Premier League. Dyche does not care about that statistic.

The only thing Dyche cares about is getting his paycheque every week and protecting the narrative perpetually spouted by the media that "he's a good manager", "has been hard done by", "guarantees survival", "organizes a team/defensively solid/set piece master" etc etc in positioning himself for his next job.

If you offered him 38 points from 38 games at the start of every season of his career, I reckon he'd happily take it and play the odds it usually keeps you up.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Hated him since day one. Disliked him before he came. Crap manager. I’m patiently waiting for his dismissal.

Absolutely agree...should have been sacked last season but the Dyche apologists have kept him at the club.

 

[mikel_88]

just time for me now is time to perform or he will be gone, hopefully takeover is done faster than reported. And this clown will finally have to answer for the performances of the team

 

[NathDogg]

Said it before, but how Dyche, Stone and Woan can spend their formative years under Brian Clough, and then come to the conclusion that direct, percentage football is the best way to play, is absolutely baffling.

Was thinking along these lines myself, but more that woan and stone were actually decent footballers who were quite attack minded, yet they can support and help the manager set us up and play such negative, percentage “by the numbers” garbage, is just beyond me.

Probably both terrified to upset him by disagreeing with his genius, but sadly for us, yes men in any organisation don’t work,

Totally forgot that Dyche played under clough as well.

 

[GoldenToffee]

He's likely as confused as we all are as to why he hasn't been relieved of his duties yet.

 

[Drico]

Coopers gone, but Dyche keeps on going despite his horrendous record. Everton that.

Leicester are a bigger club* than us right now - and have been for 25 years as their honours list shows.

*bigger as in run with ambition. We'll always be a huge club, but watch the support base dwindle if we suffer another 35 years like the last 35...

 

[MikeH72]

And until then it's Dyche. One defeat in nine games isn't bad form, although it's terrible to watch. But what's he got to work with? Crap.

5 games without a win is bad form.

 

[MikeH72]

And he'll end up with nothing.

He's too defensive to snatch anything there because they'll score and we...won't.

We’ll probably hold on for an hour before their relentless pressure eventually pays off and they cruise to a 2-0 win. Then after the game it’ll be all about hard luck and the fine margins and a half hearted penalty appeal that we had in the first half that was never going to be given. The Dychettes will eat it up too. Woe is us, just so damn unlucky (again)

 

[Drico]

I'd be the first to say that one loss in nine "isn't bad form" - but it most certainly is when you factor in the opposition included the promoted sides, sundry detritus, and the Windemere Women's Seconds.

Dyche Out.

It's the most predictable match in the Premier League. Everton turn up to have their pants pulled down, wear a tight belt, and have it yanked when we're not looking by a dodgy ref, VAR, or Anthony Martial.

2-0 United - and that's with us playing to the last 30 years of tradition.

 

[GoldenToffee]

I am staggered that there isn't anger in the stadium towards the manager. How have fans had the likes of Silva and Martinez successfully removed but are not voicing their discontent in the masses against Dyche? He holds them in contempt far more than any other manager we've had - including Benitez imo - yet everything appears to be hunky dory at Goodison.

1 goal and 3 points in four games against Fulham, Southampton, West Ham and Brentford is diabolical, and those 3 points have been lucky. Brentford should have won at the weekend with that Wissa chance that was saved, whereas we didn't pull a single decent save out of Flekken.

He's not exactly steading the ship until the Friedkins come in, is he? Most other managers would have this squad producing much better results. There is evidently zero attacking work that goes in on the training ground, proven by the complete lack of movement in the opposition half of the field. Unless Ndiaye gets the ball, we all know nothing is coming from any attack, and as good as Ndiaye is he can't do it on his own. McNeil has reverted back to type (abysmal), and seeing the likes of Doucoure is simply depressing.

Did Dyche sign off on O'Brien being signed? What is the process for identifying and recruiting players? Did the club only put down a couple of million and there actually wasn't 15 million that could have been spent on a full back and a winger? Was hasn't the media put these questions to him? This is one of the absolute worst signings (not Jake's fault at all) in recent history when you look at the disgraceful state the first team has been left in.

Everton, 20th by Christmas and about 5 points from safety come January 1st 2025.

 

[blulouie]

What’s annoying is the way he laughs and says Everton has always been like this since he got here blah blah blah.

It’s his job to fix it. Not complain about it every single press conference.

Exactly

Whatever happened to the "change the story" line he used to spout.

The constant negative (plus his tactics) means this team is beat before it gets on the pitch.

Apathy.

All the Dyche apologists are hoping for a miracle in December.

I dislike this guy so much but many (not as many as before the season started though to be fair) still want him to manage this Club because he has done an amazing job thus far preventing us from being relegated.

If you look hard enough there will nearly always be a reason why we lose.

But there is a very high probability we will lose almost all of those December fixtures.

The Dychettes will find reasons to keep him here though.
