Marcelo Bielsa or Sean Dyche?

[Rob17896]

Here’s a thought to ponder on before you hit the hay.

Targeting 2 different managers with different philosophies might not be as bonkers as most think.

In this particular scenario (joint bottom) the priority is staying up, not the philosophy

EITHER option offer us a chance of survival via 2 different approaches/ methods

That might be their reasoning…We’ve got two candidates that might keep us up.

Doesn’t matter how that’s achieved but EITHER could potentially offer us that.

They would just go about in different ways.

More then one way to skin a cat…

Their reasoning? You pay too much respect.

I keep changing my mind Dyche seems like the sensible choice but Bielsa gives me more hope of a vision but he's a gamble as it could easily go very wrong. It's a tough choice.

also a gamble to think that a team who can’t convert chances will win by trying to nick one.

Fair point and Arteta has done very well but the job at Arsenal is very different to this job with more stability and many more funds. I'd say he would be very lucky to get the time and support to do as well here.

I remember at the time I thought Arsenal were stupid for not going for Carlo. He seemed like the sane adult with winning credibility that they needed at the time. I also wanted us to get Arteta and I thought we got it backwards with them. I was thrilled with Carlo of course, but it felt off in terms of the trajectory of the clubs.

But it’s impossible to know what might have been, an Arteta type might not last here with our instability. I’m still a bit shocked that he stuck around there, fair play to them for sticking with it. They have the funds and safety to do so, though.

Arteta has had tons of money to spend and the fans wanted him out as recently as the summer when they jellied top four, like.

Appointing Ancelotti ultimately became a mistake because of the money we spent on the gamble.

But the real big mistake wasn't that one. It was the one that came after he left.

Agree Dyche doesn't improve an attack he proved that at Burnley and that's our biggest issue. That's why the devil in me wants Bielsa even though it could be a disaster

Davide, Marcelo, then Sean.
But happy with any of them.
PDQ as they need to buy half a team
No time for cheese

Please not Bielsa !!

It's pretty obvious -

Mosh wants Bielsa

Bill wants Dyche

DBB ( Is Literally Tied up )

So we just need to bring In someone Impartial - And hand them a coin to flick.

They’ve spent tons mate, it never gets the press it should.

Head says Dyche because we're crap and he's got the tools to sort it short term.

Heart says Bielsa cos he's a 'kin lunatic who will batter the life out of the gutless shithouses who embarrass us every week

I admire the fact that you resisted the word headlock here mate.

We should want someone who wants to come mate, over someone we have to convince.

I mean, Arteta is going great, but it's a bit early to say he is a long-term fix. Football is a fickle game. One bad run and the mood music might change... Meanwhile, short-term fix Carlo has won another Champions League.

Personally, I prefer Bielsa because of his brand on football and his ambition to have more power and say on players contract and transfer. But I know it's unrealistic. On the pitch/training, our players probably won't be able to handle Bielsa session or tactics so soon. If Bielsa is uncompromising, we will definitely go down.

Realistically, Dyche understands the pressure and won't shy away from a challenge. But I think he would be another coach with signings shoved to his team. Having said that, we are only few days away from deadline day and I doubt we will sign anyone - so the team requires a very tactical coach who is flexible and able to organise a defense. With the current crop of players, Dyche is actually our best chance to survive - although it is not guaranteed.
