Sean Dyche: Is Pep Guardiola or Claudio Ranieri the pizza genius?

Burnley boss Sean Dyche believes the contrasting attitude to players eating pizza highlights the "spin" surrounding foreign managers in the Premier League.

Manchester City's Pep Guardiola has been lauded for banning pizza yet Claudio Ranieri was hailed for using it as motivation in Leicester's title win.

Dyche thinks foreign coaches and their ideas are deemed more "snazzy" and shown more deference by "the populace".

"Two geniuses, one adding pizza and one taking it away," said the 45-year-old.

"I saw (Manchester City midfielder Samir) Nasri talking about the diet that Pep has brought in. He's stopped pizza, he's a genius already in my view.

"The year before, Claudio Ranieri was adding pizza at Leicester. I'm being flippant but I'm being serious as well. It's true, that is the misperception.

"Nasri was talking about how this new diet was amazing, saying we don't eat junk food. We've been doing that since I got here. I did it at Watford, so do other English managers."

Defender Christian Fuchs was one of the Leicester players to enjoy pizza last season

Dyche also cited the praise for new Chelsea manager Antonio Conte's training regimes at Stamford Bridge as evidence of the greater deference shown to foreign managers' methods.

"Antonio Conte came in at Chelsea and he got commended for bringing a hard, fast, new leadership to Chelsea, which involved doing 800m runs, 400m runs and 200m runs," he added.

"I thought that was interesting because if you see us doing that you'd say we're running them round in circles - 'a young English dinosaur manager. Doesn't know what he's doing'.

"At Chelsea under Conte everyone thinks it's amazing."

Dyche is one of only seven home-grown managers - including Hull City caretaker Mike Phelan - preparing for the start of the new Premier League season on Saturday.

Seven teams have made full-time appointments for the coming campaign, but only Sunderland chose a British coach in David Moyes.

Kettering-born Dyche believes there is an "edge towards foreign coaches and managers".

"Why do you buy a branded pair of jeans rather than the other pair? Because you think they're better, but they might not be," he said.

"I think there's a bit of that, sometimes it's just 'a bigger name is a bigger name'. There are foreign owners, there are lots of foreign players, so it might be that a foreign manager is chosen to work with foreign players.

"There's a bit of spin. There's still a thirst from the populous for foreign managers and foreign players. They're a bit more snazzy, 'let's see what this Belgian manager or this Argentinian manager can do'."

'England role preposterous'

Sean Dyche is preparing for a second tilt at a Premier League campaign

Dyche has won two promotions in three seasons at Turf Moor, guiding the Clarets back to the Premier League at the first attempt last term.

He and 38-year-old Eddie Howe were mentioned as possible contenders for the England manager's job before it was given to Sam Allardyce last month.

But Dyche believes neither he nor the Bournemouth boss are ready for the national team job.

"We're nowhere near ready, us youngsters. We're kids in the grand scheme of things," he said.

"We're novice hurdlers, we're still learning. It's preposterous for any of us young managers to be linked with the England job."

Aww Dyche thinks he's in the same category as Eddie Howe, how cute.

Sean Dyche is like that bloke you meet in a shop queue who doesn't understand why he's waiting like everyone else, questions the situation and then leaves - but returns at the back of the queue.

If Pep can take the talent Stones has and improve him in the way he moulded Alaba and Boateng into world class defenders, he has a top quality centre back for 10 years at the club. Then the fee will look like a good investment.

 

To be honest the Pogba deal is what you do to try and tip the balance in your favour. Signing him has almost made them favourites for the league. Hes world class and thats why the fee is so high. Man Utd are willing to pay, so in their eyes are not overspending, their mistake was letting him go in the first place.

 

Theres still a big correlation between money spent and league positions. Last season, we were the outliers, not the rule. No one would have realistically expected a £5 million Kante to be the revelation he was, and when clubs have the capability of bringing in the likes of Pogba on big money, theyre not going to gamble on an unknown Frenchman who may, or may not having a big impact. We on the other hand had no choice.

 

I think theres also a point to be made that when you bring in the likes of Mahrez for 400k, youre getting a 400k player at the time. Youre not getting a £40 million player which is what he would be now, for 400k. At the time of signing he is not the finished article, he needs work done on him, a settling in process, an adaptation to the demands of the league.

 

You dont buy the finished £40 million article for 400k ever, and with the wrong coaching and influence around him, he wouldnt be any good.  Youre gambling on your ability to turn potential into quality, instead of buying ready made quality.

The Pogba and Kante deals again show that player's decisions are all about money. Let me reiterate...MONEY.   

Nothing to do with 'playing in the Champions League'. That's bollox. Kante has gone to Chelsea and Pogba has left Juve and joined Utd for money. Anyone who thinks that there is loyalty in football or that it's imperative to play in a certain tournament is deluded. If Pogba wanted trophies immediately, Champions league and whatever else, he'd have joined Real Madrid.

So Sean Dyche goes off on a rant about how foreign coaches are overrated and then to back up his argument he cites as examples one manager who created possibly the best football team of all time and another who won the league in his first year with a team who were 5000/1? 

 

That's sort of the opposite to how arguments work Sean.

Might put a bet on Arsenal finishing no higher than 5th at this rate.

 

Also Welbeck and Sanchez are hit-and-miss strikers and not consistent enough to be considered a potent strikeforce. Oxlade-Chamberlain is emerging as one to watch out for and can see him being considered more by Wenger.

He's not ranting about foreign coaches he is ranting about the  perception that foreign coaches are better, and he has a point. We get it all the time in the media whether it was Wenger banning Ketchup or Ranieri giving away pizzas. Think back to Mourinho's press conference mind tricks, "he's just acting up to deflect attention off the players"  they said, whereas he is actually just a conceited dick as we saw last season abusing a physio for doing her job and turning on his players in a press conference. Pearson on the other hand has melt downs, ostrich gate etc. I'm not saying that Pearson didn't have a melt down, but there is this immediate assumption that these fancy name foreign managers are geniuses and do things no English manager would do, whereas English managers are not fit to manage a big club. 

 

The fact that Pep has come in and banned junk food from the diet at Man City, shouldn't have you thinking what a genius, you should be thinking what the fvck was Pellegrini doing letting them eat junk food.
