Sean Dyche

[Nymzee]

Proven track record of keeping teams 1 points above the relegation zone having weekly panic attacks.

 

[Efcjake]

Hot fave for spurs gig, make it so footy gods

Him getting sacked from Forest and then relegating Spurs would be fantastic entertainment

 

[Efcjake]

Nah I think it's more of a case he's thought "crap, I've just been shown up as not being able to work with talented players, best not show it again so soon"

He is trying to wash the firefighter stink off of himself.

Unfortunately nobody actually wants to watch his football unless they're absolutely desperate and at risk of relegation so that's where he is.

 

[HKContractDave]

He's won at Mordor this season though so they really should've done it after the Palace game

Even the two frantic rimjobs from Purslow and Winter ended an hour long interview just telling him he's a firefighter

 

[Efcjake]

That's the very point that his detractors cant get their heads around: it takes strength and courage for a manager to step aside when they know it'd be for the better of the organisation if they did.

Like when Moyes left for United after taking us as far as he could? Like that?

 

[MikeH72]

Shocked that some of his fans seemingly don’t have the sort of confidence in his abilities that they often like to give out. 2 months work, tasked only with winning 3 football matches with an £850m squad, leave for a fresh start with your reputation in tact in the summer, what’s not to like? Unless of course the bravado from both his camp and his acolytes is all just hot air and wind, I’m not suggesting that is the case personally.

 

[Swartzy]

That's the very point that his detractors cant get their heads around: it takes strength and courage for a manager to step aside when they know it'd be for the better of the organisation if they did.

There isn't a man who'd have come through the crucible of those first two seasons he had here and not be almost broken by it. He broke in the end.

Sounds dramatic and I'm not suggesting he was a basket case or anything, but the pressure finally got to him. He was cooked.

I continue to scratch my head at the venom aimed at him by some Everton supporters. Anyone who thinks that way I'd immediately class them as divvies...and they are too. Know-nothing divvies.

He lost the players Dave
Like he did with Forest ( in the space of a couple of months with them )

He couldn't take us further, because there is no "Further" with him.

His football knowledge is
Take the pay off, move on, and chat utter wham to his simple audience.

He gives the media what they want, thats why they want him.

He records and listens to himself on repeat.

He knows the game well, not the football game, the cash game.
And he's achieved success in it.

He should have just kept his mouth closed..

No one was seriously asking him to take us further. He’s a manager for teams at the bottom of the table, he’ll get you organised fit defensively disciplined and most probably at least a point per game run rate. That’s why Forest wanted him when they were panicking at being cut adrift in the relegation spaces, 22 points from 18 games later they were outside the relegation zone. It’s why Spurs might be interested now. He’d come in and most probably get that lot over the line. He’s the horse for those particular courses and he was certainly the right man in Jan 23, just as Moyes is the right man now to lead us from the bottom of the table to the top half hopefully.

It’s about making the right managerial appointments at the right time. Allardyce and Dyche were nobody’s first choice as manager but they were the right choices at the time. If Spurs had hired Allardyce or Dyche instead of Tudor they’d probably be a few points away from the relegation zone now with a better goal difference. They couldn’t lower themselves to that at the time though because they saw themselves as too fashionable for managers like that, but now they’ve got the begging bowl out. Fortunately Everton have always been more pragmatic and when in trouble we’ve tended to have hired defensive pragmatic managers, Moyes in 02, Allardyce 18, Dyche 23.

No, not like that at all...unless Dyche insulted Everton and tried to buy players on the cheap from Everton. Is that what he did?

And 6 months left on his contract which he knew wouldn't be renewed. There's no strength and courage about it, if he had 18 months left he wouldn't have left.

I appreciate him guiding us through the sale, but the way he waffled at the end was a terrible look.

There can be no serious cause for ill-will toward Dyche from anyone who follows Everton.

I dunno, him getting off with the team a point above the relegation zone after only winning 3 in 19 and then having the brass neck to demand we pay him off his final six months was mighty cheeky.

But he didn't try and buy any Everton players on the cheap so all good.

 

[Saint Domingo]

If it’s true he’s rejected Spurs in their hour of need then thank god he didn’t reject us in ours. We’d probably be playing league 1 football in the City of Liverpool all purpose stadium (if it ever had got finished) which we lease from the council on match days, and we’d probably have George Pickford in goal if we were lucky. Goodison would have been sold off to the administrators as well and probably flattened for houses.

But yeah the way we had to pay off those last months of his contract, that probably does outweigh all of the above now I think about it.

 

[allen]

I know the word 'cult' is thrown around quite breezily, but my goodness me I think there is a (thankfully) small one that's formed around Dyche in this fanbase.

There are posters who define themselves on this forum by their devotion to him... and I cannot fathom it anymore than I can fathom those that throw themselves at Trump's feet.
