    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    I get people dislike some of our football these last 4-5 months, and Sean Dyche's style isn't for everyone (though it's irrelevant). Ignoring: This squad has been hurtling for relegation in most of the last 3 seasons And that it's not a squad he's bought I'd like to know: What has he...

    2023/24 Amadou Onana

    Doesn't score much compared to Fellaini whom I thought was the kinda player he'd emerge into, i.e. gets in the way, covers ground, the odd useful goal. Like Doucs but perhaps more defensive. He's been a bit meh in terms of that 'brief', but maybe that's also coaching, team shape, tactics. I...

    2023/24 James Tarkowski

    Yeah I'm glad people are noticing this - thought it was just me. I think the 3-yr long relegation battle is taking it's toll on us now. Bunker down boys, you can do it.

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    It was horrible. Respect to the away guys I could hear singing even in the 2nd half. This is not devil's advocate just a step-back for a sec Dyche reflects years of mis-management from BK, Mosh and the knee jerk appointments and splurges that got us here Dyche also pulled us clear when Frank's...

    Would it get worse without Dyche?

    For the record, I don't enjoy our football at the mo - we seem to have gone backwards since Nov in our forward play. Of course Sean has a part to play in that (and his coaching staff), as does confidence, the points deduction, availability of new talent, character and values of our players etc...

    2023/24 Ashley Young

    I now this is the Young thread but he's here since Coleman ironically is getting on and NP not for some reason a first choice. My point is what's going on with Nathan - he looked like he had something to offer. Once he's 'at it' Surely Ashley's a back-up that on the right deal for our...

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    Who is out of contract that ideally we bin and what does it add salary wise for loans? I.e. Dele, Gomez (albeit he's trying), et al.

    Would it get worse without Dyche?

    Very good point this. I keep thinking OK 75 Branthwaite, 25m Doucoure?... so that clears some debt interest... then what? I'm plucking at numbers here cos I simply don't know what our player fees are but hopefully with out Gomes, Alli and a few hangers on we'll be able to bring in some fresh...
