2024/25 David Moyes

[Nyhus]

I think it's a matter of honour that we dont throw Dyche under the bus. He did his jib here and he achieved what he was hired to do - keep the club up. He was the only figure we had when the owners went missing and he took the burden of figurehead for us when he really should have had more help from a board who'd deserted him.

If we ignore that confusing first statement, i think this is pretty fair. It was time for him to go, but the vitriol towards him(or Moyes) is a little silly. No matter how this season ended, he did very well last season and it was a superbly difficult task.

Dyche needed throwing under two buses, not one.

Sean Dyche stands in the garden waiting for a bus.

Not a chance he stands next to the road thats way too risky.

Couldn’t agree more with that.

We must also take care not to pretend there were no faults though. 24/25 under him was very near abysmal.

He goes with his credibility in tact and we have a manager for however long that can do more with this squad. That's about it mate.

No chance its in tact, any little credibility he did have has gone.

You wont see Dyche in the PL anymore! I'd be amazed if a championship club would go near him.

Goes out with an umbrella on a sunny August day in the middle of a heat wave, "just to be safe."

Absolutely barmy analysis.

Dyche will be in the PL again by the end of this season would be my guess. Watch what happens by Easter when the panic sets in at Ipswich and Leicester.

You did watch them 11 professional footballers in a blue football kit while he was here didnt you?
It was like watching an U8s team, toeying the ball anywhere away from the goal, embarrassing to say the least.

Not a chance on earth anyone else comes calling for Dyche again.

Not even an Ipswich or a Leicester would stoop that low.

Can see someone like West brom wanting him next season if they go up and find themselves adrift. I think it's concerning for him that both times he has been sacked by Burnley and Everton respectably the league form has improved dramatically following it. It suggests to me that he has a shelf life, which is the case for a lot of managers.

But he certainly struggles to keep his players motivated for his style of play and it's hardly surprising considering how dull a style it is.

If you`re cut adrift and need to win games, he`s 100% not the man for the job.

If you`re hovering just above the bottom three and need to bore draw you`re way to safety maybe.

Regardless, no way Ipswich would go near him, especially after they spent a few quid strengthening with players that suit McKenna`s system in the January window.

He is desperate for Leicester to appoint Dyche though, as according to him, Dyche is desperate for revenge and will use all his tactical masterclass to relegate us

I wouldn't call it a style, you don't need pro license badges to instruct players to do what he did.

I could find hundreds of thousands of normal working men to give the team the same tactics as him.

He is a disgrace to the sport IMO.

Agreed.

I would go as far as say a disgrace to humanity.

 

[blue to the bone]

Isn't there a dyche thread ?

Whilst things already look so much better under Moyes, it is still too early to form any opinion on his long term tenure.

Dyche did the absolute minimum requirement, keeping us up in dire circumstances, but he also reigned over some of the worst football we have ever played. He allegedly discouraged decent players from signing, because of his “style” - although I am not sure there is empirical data to support that,

Grateful he kept us up, glad he’s gone.

We move on with Mr Moyes.

Bit harsh i think mate. That season he took over Frank was taking us down. Dyche did a good job and the players bought into what he was trying. That kept into the second season, but it was clear they became disillusioned the following season.
