Seriously took Burnley into Europe or won a cup. Have you seen their squad? Dyche has spent less (net) in his 5 years at Burnley than Silva did in his 1 window with Watford. Silva is still relatively unproven in the Premiership. I will be happy if we get Silva but shouldn't drag this out if it is obvious that Watford won't cooperate. Dyche will be available because he has been a loyal servant to Burnley and they won't stand in his way to go to a bigger club. Plus he has a release clause in his contract.
Yeah seriously then id be impressed....
He has a OK cv, but really has done nothing of note besides getting his team playing a certain style over a sustained period... which realistically shouldn't be difficult given time.
IMO I honestly put him in the same bracket as a hughes, pulis, and that ilk... Calibre's of manager in my opinion we shouldn't be looking at. Nice fella, could be a good manager but until he has done something that makes me think he can achieve more then an up and down with burnley and steady a ship he isn't for me.
Burnley finish 7th this year ill think maybe he can do something with more resources and at a larger club, but I don't think they will and he might go all
Moyes at a bigger club and realise the stability and security of his longer project was probably the best he had.
I should probably mention, am not all sold on Silva. however he has won trophies and some of his work at the smaller club in Portugal was nothing short of amazing.
When you put the likes of Dyche up against managers from the continent who would love a slice of £7m p/a wage we offer and a part of the prem party - he really doesn't stack up. The problem is the whole "premier league experience" crap bounded about...
Fortune favours the bold and all that... doesn't favour the steady Eddie.
