Remi Garde all over again?
Whose biggest mistake was believing the chancers that were running the club at that time.
we have had a lot worse.

He certainly proved us wrong since. But his profile when he joined was somewhat similar.

I'd honestly put Emery ahead of Tuchel and I'd be as happy with him as with Poch. If none of them then someone like Amorim or Svensson would be next in line ahead of the likes of Dyche and Rodgers for me, an unknown with a great reputation would be a much better call than someone well known and dull, if only because it would shake away the feeling that the wheels are falling off. Dyche would be the biggest red flag of all because it would be abandoning our ambitions for the sake of safety.
thats how i see it , Dyche would just signal that we are here to make up the numbers.
I agree about Dyche.  That wouldn't so much be a red flag as it would be raising the white flag.  I guess Emery would be my pick after Poch and Tuchel.  He's got a good record in several leagues, has experience in the PL, is used to managing big clubs with big expectations and okay it hasn't worked out for him everywhere but he has pedigree.  Don't want Rodgers: Leicester fans are desperate to get rid of him, for what that's worth.  Even Gerrard has outperformed him this season.

Dyche would almost certainly improve us. We'd be getting better results and looking like we're actually coached. But it would be so damn uninspiring. And just screams settling for mediocrity.

Yep.

Much depends upon the fear of being relegated. If this is considered to be a real possibility, then Dyche would make sense.

At Montreal Impact?  He was certainly set up to fail when he came here but at no point did Garde show he had the ability to prosper if the situation had been different.

Sporting at Tottenham on Wednesday. I could imagine us meeting Amorim that night or on Thursday, if he hasn't ruled himself out by then.

There’s no excuse for Dyche. We don’t need a relegation specialist type, there’s plenty of time left plus a mini season break. It would be a dreadful appointment. Do something ambitious.

And they and probably he, would be more amenable having got a big game out of the way.

If we need dyche then wee have to sack Lange and purslow cos it means the issue is far more than coaching and first team set up

Yep. We're well known for maintaining silence and Sporting will demand it with such an important game next week. If we haven't appointed anybody by Wednesday morning, get yourself down the bookies. I still don't think it will happen though. I'm trying to remember how Amorim turned down Wolves? He had a chance to turn us down this morning, a simple reply of "I'm not going anywhere, there's still plenty of work to do here" but he didn't. Instead he just said "I don't talk about other teams". Reading too much into it? I'm sure I am but at least in these few days we can dream.

He might not fancy it, but there's a world of difference between us and poxy Wolves. Well, there had better be, we will find out in the next few days and weeks I suppose.

Oh, and while he's watching Tottenham, if he could make some notes on how to stop that bastard Son scoring hat-tricks, that might come in handy.

We are much, much richer than Wolves. Highly doubt they would have been able to afford his release fee and wages
