dyche thinks


Dyche-Ball at the highest level has a short life span. it'll have an impact at the start but the tactics get boring very quickly - in fact the better the player, the quicker they rebel against it, and once the players stop working as a unit you're in freefall.
I imagine it toughs managing 25 elite athletes, most of which are multimillionaires and (based entirely on the stuff that's come out of his time here) he's approach of brutal honesty and "i'm bigger than you" mid 90's school yard territory BS just doesn't work in the modem game. Maybe for a few like Jose but he;s earned the right to be that way and players respect that. Dyche hasn't earned that. Short term the players will listen because it'll get them out of the mire but after that they want more than sit 10 players behind the ball and hope for a corner.

The best thing Dyche could do is drop a league or two and go to a team where the players would be in awe of him rather than a team in the Premierleague where the players simply don't buy into his shtick. He'll get premierleague jobs because he does a job, but he'll never stick around.

Mourinho wins things though. Dyche fights relegation. They're nothing alike.

Not even "the football is the same" is an excuse - it hasn't and it never will be route 1 hoofball for 38 straight games under Mourinho.
 

To summarise -

He starts off very well by lifting the lid on some things. Confirms totally what an absolute bin fire we were, and how awful a culture we have around the place. The players were jumping around the dressing room after winning that first game against Arsenal. As if that result alone meant we'd stay up. Absolute losers. And also the bottom 3 scores in his infamous bleep test, they were all midfielders FFS. He will always deserve our respect for keeping that absolute rabble in the PL, like it or not.

He falls off BADLY after that. Neville asks him incredulously "who was running the club day-to-day?! Who were you answering too above you?!"

Now WE know the answer. It was Kenwright and his sycophants (or they were supposed to be). But he pointedly dodges the question, instead he just waffles and ends up going on a tangent about how unreasonable the fanbase ofteb was. Also, repeats that garbage about how the board "couldn't" come to games because of threats.

Clearly yet another person who Billy Bull**** charmed and converted into a disciple. Even beyond the grave he's having people trying to restore his reputation.

I thank him for what he did those first 18 months, but past that he became part of the problems. His attitude is the reason he isn't still in the job now and he's absolutely not missed. See ya later Sean, don't write us because we won't write you.

He clearly hates the fanbase for not tolerating his 90’s tactics and aiming for 17th Burnley mentality. I’m fine with that, because I hate him too.

Good luck with the job hunt Sean 👋

Dyche's response to Neville asking how issues with the board affected him:

"You probably know this..but to remind anyone who doesn't.. So, the Chairman couldn't come to the game, the Chief Exec couldn't come to the game, Sharpy couldn't come to a game..great fella by the way...legend, great fella..couldn't come to the game.

And you go 'oh well that ain't ideal is it, you know they're not allowed to a game cos they're gonna get hammered and death threats and boo's an' all that.."

Don't think it's as admirable as that mate.

He knew the writing was on the wall. His hard yard, nuts and bolts approach isn't working to a squad who have so many leaving, to a manager who is definitely gone in months. He even admitted while in the job late on, players stopped listening to him.

He also knew he wasn't getting a bean to spend in January - all that, was him admitting he can't do anymore, than 16th.

He should have left last summer, but he was managing the biggest club he'll ever get, on the biggest wage. If TFG took over first time around, he wouldn't have got this season.

Will credit him for keeping us up season one, and navigating/achieving 48 points in all the chaos second season. But that's it. He knew he wasn't getting a new deal, an thought be arsed with this lot for 5 more months when he can be paid anyway.

Pretty much.

I know he was waiting to be fired a month or 2 prior.

Don't mind him as a feller like.
