Quote from: wince on June 30, 2020, 07:30:06 PMIt’s the depressing merrygoround names we end up wanting. Dyche yes, has no money and done ok at Burnley. Yet he would spunk his wad at having money to spend, like Bruce did and still serve up the depressing style of football that would see us one year in the top half of the table and another circling with the turds at the bottom. People want fat Sam, another dinosaur that only works short term for many clubs. Moyes was bandied about a few years ago, again dire turgid football. Smith may come good, probably not yet but we need proven coaching staff who aren’t stuck in the past couples with players of a quality to work to a game plan and a game plan that doesn’t consist of hoofing the ball up the field and hoping someone gets it or inviting our star player to get mauled so we can win a free kick (then usually spoon the kick).Absolutely spot on post. Not sure it will go down too well on this thread though!

Smith was the right appointment at the time. Same as MON was, similar to BFR and Brian Little. Things just don't work out sometimes...
People are getting desperate again. Dyche? Not courted for any big job and he's had Burnley playing dull aggressive football. Plus he hasn't been close to winning. The only thing he has in his favour is the experience of the Premier League. If we go down he ain't the man the bring us back up. I thought people wanted to progress?
Dyche is definitely better than what we currently have but I'm sure there are better managers than Dyche who we might consider.
Genuinely astonished as to why people would scoff at Dyche. 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.
Would you stick or twist?
