You are not wrong. But at this present time we need standards and team work being brought back. We need foundations setting again. Dyche can do this. He can get us promoted and then we are far better placed with Dyche to stay in the league than the dross we have seen this season.

Exactly. Remove players who do not care and are not good enough. They have got us relegated 2 times now. If we still keep and play them. Shocking! play 2 of Okoli, Nelson and souttar. They will do well in the championship. Get rid at any cost the players you have mentioned. Vestegaard too I would add to leave.

This is a huge job for a manager. terrible board, low ability players who don’t care about the club. Fans attend without support. for this season Dyche should be our manager. We need to have standards put in place and he will do that, have the players playing for the club again and knows how to set teams up when / if promoted.

You are correct on this. I just think the timing is so poor. 2 days after he mentioned sorry for a poor season. He then leaves. I imagine he has been told a few months ago if we go down he will not be offered a new contract. players have not played with any commitment to the club for months. To me the timing of this explains a lot. there is a huge season ahead next year. Worse squad than maresca had. Have to get promoted otherwise we will be in championship for quite a few years I fear.

There have been reports mentioning these players are now looking to leave, primarily on social media and on this forum. They will leave this summer. Just shows what a poor squad and team has been put together. We have a far worse squad than last time we were relegated. And we have not got the players to sell that will bring in decent money. Possibly only Mads and Bilal.

One of best ever players and deserves a statue / team statue for the league win. however the timing of this doesn’t sit right. Came out 2 days ago saying sorry for S*show of a season. Today saying he is leaving. He knew he was leaving for months and played like it too. He should have been our leader but we can see on the pitch he has not been. When the best player wants to leave sends a message to others. Winks can’t even be bothered to attend a game to support his teammates. Faes, soumare, VK already said want to leave. Shambles from every player in the squad. Okoli should play every game until end of season. Gain experience for next year. Not players who are not committed to the club. Clearly not learnt from lessons 2 years ago.

Delighted for Okoli. he should play every game and build confidence for next year. Genuinely looked so happy to score! rest of players couldn’t be bothered to celebrate. Really sums up the complete lack of a Team spirit that we have

Bilal is a talented player and the one good decision the club made in the summer. He is in a dreadful situation. Players around him are dire. Manager is clueless. Board incompetent and 13 defeats in 14 the whole squad will have 0 confidence at all. I hope he stays next year and can be the creative player we need. Very talented player in a hopeless team

PSR has hindered football more than it has helped. Apparently Chelsea have spent another 70 million euros again. The PSR really favors a few select clubs. the gap between leagues is big. However I think modern football and “philosophy” of the current game, is part of the cause for this. Previously teams knew they were inferior and likely would defend and counter attack. Now Southampton and ourselves play so open and have to pass, when we do not have the players to do so. all 3 promoted club spent 70-+ million. Leicester and Southampton just spent the money abjectly. Ipswich will get back what the paid, delap will go for double etc and then they have a stronger side in the championship than when they came up. style of play and abject recruitment are a large part why the gap is so vast now.

Our board will not sack Ruud. 13 defeats from 14. No home league goals scored in 7 games. Desperate need for some positivity around the club. possible managers really would be someone like Dyche or Gary O’Neil. our board won’t pay the price for the Sheffield Wednesday manager. Will have to be someone available. dyche will at least instill the attitude and desire in the players again. Could be the Pearson type we need to remove bad attitudes we have and create a squad who care about the club again.

For anything to change, we need to stop going to games. Certainly away games. Absence will get top and Rudkin to sit up and take notice. we seem to be. happily clapping the club the another relegation

Exactly. The role of the coach is to put a player on the field in best position to give them every chance of success. Dreadful from Ruud. Dakar should play on the last man and run in behind. He is not a player who can drop and receive under pressure.

It does make you wonder what our so called professional full time scouts focus on. to spend 75 million on Skipp, Ayew, Reid, Okoli and Bilal. when people on here who have variety of full time jobs can still recommend players who would provide a long term vision to the club.

clearly a talented player with a lot of potential. Came into a complete basket case of a club. Teammates are shocking and really show an attitude that they do not care. the 1 good decision we have made this year. A season in the championship will be great for him and huge for us if we are to get promotion.

There were a few German players who said exactly this. They had to play this style and lost own identity in the process. Germany won World Cup and Euros pre Peps arrival. Been there worst performances in recent years. I blame the modern coaches now who have this philosophy and perception of what good football is. passing a ball around the back is not exciting. How many moments per game do fans get off seats and really anticipate the next action. Now they go forward to go back as possession stat has become so important.
