Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Rory]

I just hear Bob Mortimer's Dyche impression every time I hear his name.

Me too, along with pronouncing his name 'dish', drinking from urinals and Harry Winks thinking he's a monster.

We also need a "who don't want you want under any circumstances" option.

[PeterWithesShin]

And a "who do think uses red sauce" option.

If you're not familiar with what we're talking about hopefully this will put a smile on your face for once this week.

If it’s Dyche, I might seriously lose it

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Do the people still saying Poch or Tuchel not realise that they’ve ruled themselves out?

[PaulWinch again]

They will surely be acutely aware that this appointment is critical. They will surely realise someone like Dyche would result in a full on mutiny.

Re. Dyche. Obviously it's just rumours - but they were flying arround Burnley fans - that before he got sacked - he got into fracas in the dressing room - causing senior players to speak to the people at the top requesting his removal...

Again, from Burnley supporting friends - they love the new era and the attractive football - after years of Dyche-ball...

[Monty]

I've seen no indication that the owners are, actually, interested in Dyche, and just the act of asking Tuchel and Pochettino is indicative of their ambition level. It was always unlikely to even tempt either of them, but even asking is a good sign.

We said that with TSM and they still went ahead.

Edit: ignore, Trussed it up

Emery or Amorim would be excellent.

Get them both.

Emery or Amorim live together in perfect harmony

We know Tuchel has pretty definitively but is there any evidence other than Twitter hearsay that Poch has?

[coreyfeldman]

Being reported by pretty reputable journalists - matt law and percy have said so it's not like football insider or football365 rumours

I get your point, but it depends what they are offering to these people (wages>transfer budget) to a big extent.  If we are asking in the same way we asked to buy Ward-Prowse and Smith-Rowe (apparently offering about half the market value) I don't think just asking is quite enough to show ambition.  You would have to be 'all in' as our previous manager was so keen on saying, to have any chance of getting those kinds of managers to come.  I suppose the club can't really win if they have indeed offered the going rate, and we'll never know for sure if they have or not if Dyche or Frank roll up.
