I’m genuinely so surprised how many want Dyche, the one thing we all said we wanted was a player who could work and improve with youth, yet we then want Dyche? His style literally has zero flair and all about grit, that’s Alves, Monga and Evans all done for before you even look deeper into what he prefers. The assessment that we need a manager who can provide standards and give the players the rocket that they need is fair enough. But there’s so many managers out there that do the exact same with an attacking philosophy, at the top of my head Richie Wellens being a prime example. We are so narrow minded when it comes to these things and with regards to Dyche’s previous times in the championship, the league has changed so much in terms of style and capability since he was last in it. This appointment would put us back so many years and likely lose us several of our golden generation coming through.

Sorry if this is me being stupid but what do you mean by this? Fans not appreciating Dyches ability or taking links to Dyche to serious?

I can just see the conversation: Outline of purpose for the conversation, somehow leading to a conversation about horses in passing comment, Top then going off on a tangent for 20/30 minutes about how great polo is, both then realise they’ve mismanaged their diaries and schedule for the conversation to happen the next day. Rinse and repeat.

Very interesting. I’ve shared a few times over the past year, I’ve previously been informed from someone with close ties to the club, that Top cleared the clubs debt to make the club more attractive on the market for potential buyers. The club wasn’t necessarily for sale but willing to listen to offers supposedly. Intriguing to see if this is a domino effect.

I’m sorry but what response do you expect when you have someone preferring to keep “friends” in a job despite killing OUR club. Someone who’s seen laughing and making us look stupid on national television during some of our toughest times. Someone who somehow managed to make it about him and how hard done by he was the first time we got relegated. If you poke a bear enough it’s going to get nasty. Do you want it to get nasty? Of course not, but who’s at fault for it getting nasty?! The blind sympathy for someone who appears to care less about you and me is insane.

As much as I don’t want to make this another thread about Top, Rudkin and co. This would put the nail in the coffin for this board room. If the rumours are true about Top wanting to go one direction and Rudkin wanting to go another, it displays that the duo will never be successful. In any business whether that’s sports, everyday businesses whatever it may be, if people at the top are not aligned and don’t share the same vision of how to move forward then it’s a disaster waiting to happen. In our case the disaster is ongoing and the fact some people are still sleeping on this is astonishing to me.

So I decided to watch some Dyche/Burnley highlights of when they was in the championship, (don’t advise this) to see if Dyche’s style varied in the championship compared to premier league football. In short, it didn’t. I came away thinking if they didn’t have prime Danny Ings they wouldn’t have gone up. No winger took on their man nor did a full back overlap, the plan was simple… lump crosses into the box at the soonest opportunity in hope Vokes will get on the end of it with Ings lurking for scraps. I always love the Coaches Voice as you get a close insight into how a manger see’s their own philosophy, yet Dyche even manages to make this seem very boring and uninspiring. Honeslty believe with this current playing squad (Pro’s and youngsters) as well as the atmosphere among fans currently, Dyche in my opinion would be one of the worse selections available to us currently.

Please for once just pay the money and get the best option. As others have stated if they haven’t learnt from Corberan I’ll be in even further disbelief which is the most likely outcome.

18 years? I’m 28 years old…

Do we need another attacking midfielder?

He’s had an absolute stinker there!

Has Top and Rudkin ever actually appointed a foreign manager without experience in the English leagues?

Exactly what I am thinking, they would have sounded out agents and that’s it if they’re waiting.

I find this very hard to believe unless he has a job lined up already. With everything going on at sheff wed owner I’m sure he would love a chance out.

Is there anywhere I can see these cycles and total amounts? but essentially from next year (26-27) onwards it should balance out a bit?

We need more actual leaders within this squad. That doesn’t necessarily mean older players but losing Vardy leaves us with Ricky, Coady (questionable) then who? Brannagan does set that, 2 year contract and depth I would be happy with this personally.

Good work, with a spreadsheet already created, keep it going with transfers as they come in as it’s handy to know! Only suggestion I would have is, include a column which states total expenditure per year.

In terms of 3 year cycles for PSR, when do those stupid years of losses come off the books? Is it this year?

Correct, for the club to announce a future pro contract is included, means that the contract he signed will have that within the details. Meaning he is essentially on a pro contract from now. Should any team sign Monga whilst he’s a scholar a deal wouldn’t be confirmed until he rolls into the professional contract with it being the start of a new season. If that makes sense?

I wouldn’t be surprised if his wages on the pro deal are slightly higher also to make up for the first year as a scholar.

Credit for their development as players? Or credit for getting them signed to new contracts? Because if you’re referencing the first he has nothing to do with it, & if you’re referencing the second then why does he deserve credit for the basic requirement of his job? Sign future talent and keep them at the club. The fact we even make statements like your post tells you how awful he is at his job.

More to the point whether people like him or not, Ruud is the main reason Monga stayed. The way he’s managed his minutes, looked out for his education and told him how important he is to the club. Our board would have sat in silence and assumed he knows.

Did we actually just make a smart business move? Wait to see how he performs as a no.1 and revisit a contract extension at the end of the season dependent on performance? Im shocked.

God forbid it’s Dyche, I respect his CV but the games moved on and he refuses to adapt with it.

He’s not daft tho as much negativity as there is around us, the last championship manager we had got a gig with a top 7 club, and we are still one of the favourites for promotion. So if you can’t get a job In the top flight, a club like ours is the next best opportunity.
