Would we be better off with;Webster over Engels?Philips over Nkamba?Maupy over Wesley?Benrhama over Tezuguet?
Dyche is definitely better than what we currently have but I'm sure there are better managers than Dyche who we might consider.

Engels and Nakamba seem to have got steadily worse but was Trezeguet ever good enough. Personally, I think we overpaid for Wesley but he isn't as bad as some make out.

Whether the criticism of Wesley is fair or not, I think it's fair to say that his natural game (no pace, hopeless in the air) doesn't seem particularly well suited to the Premier League. Expecting a 22 year old Brazilian from the Belgian league to come in and be our main and pretty much only striker was utter madness and a real dereliction of duty. The fact that he was backed up by Keinan Davis who makes Emile Heskey look prolific just makes it even worse.

It’s not always about champagne football, it’s about getting results to stay in the league with the big boys. How we can possibly not want a manager that has got a club as unfashionable as Burnley on the same number of points as Spurs, when we are in fucking 19th fucking place and barely have a shot at goal let alone going somewhere like Palace and winning. His teams work their bollocks off and they are hard to beat, the complete antithesis of us. We’re powder puff, easy to play against, predictable, lazy, and fucking boring and we’ve got people turning their nose up at a manager like that. Get real. Maybe part of the reason why Dyche is doing so well at Burnley is that they didn't sack him when they were relegated.

Maybe part of the reason why Dyche is doing so well at Burnley is that they didn't sack him when they were relegated. And that they sacked someone else to appoint him in the first place. If you took that logic no club would sack anyone no mater how bad.Dyche did well despite them going down, Smith has been dreadful all season. Indeed he was dreadful for large chunks of last season and had a good late run that looks more and more like a fluke by the day. He will not get us promoted again, we saw how he has us playing without Grealish in the Championship last season- terribly! Imagine how bad without Grealish, Mings, and McGinn plus Wesley instead of Abrahams. Be lucky if we didn't do a Sunderland with Smith managing that team. Time to roll the dice.
