Am hearing that Dyche is 'one of two' of the club's interest, because of his time at Burnley in the Championship plus is fairly local.

Wow his time at Burnley is quite some time ago and I cannot believe the fact he lives locally is a consideration these days, if this is our criteria then the pool is just going to keep getting smaller and smaller. 
 

How uninspiring and if true sadly shows the lack of ambition and progressive thinking we are so desperately in need of and further demonstrates just how stale the current decision makers are, we are crying out for new blood and fresh ideas. 
 

It feels like we have gone back to the managerial shortlists of 2015-2018 it is utterly depressing what an absolute shitshow we have become.

Aint Dyche Rudkin’s mate and the landlord of those flats we love to house players in Nottingham with.

Jut listening to Dyche on the Rest is football, bit I don't agree but, I can see us appointing him based on the fact I think he likes a club where it feels like there are things against him. 

[Guest Bilo]

I do wonder to a certain extent if the Martin links were lazy journalism as much as his agent trying to force some hands.

 

Unemployed, Championship experience, known name, plays the kind of football everyone knows Top is obsessed with and relatively cheap.

I am really starting to think the thick idiots at the club are waiting until June 30th to do anything, they will blame PSR then still spend 8 million on a shit player we don’t need and fail anyway because they are a useless bunch of shit inept parthetic *****. I think I am just going to ignore football as whilst these pathetic losers are still running the show it can only get worse and rile me even more, they are utterly clueless.

From Russell Martin to Sean Dyche in a matter of weeks. The strategic footballing minds operating the club are on another level. 

 

I get some people want Dyche just because they want someone to put the boot in on some of the players (which i tottally understand), but its such a bad fit for where we are and such a short term-ism appointment, to get back to where we want to be we need to be focused on our academy and finding smart signings that we can turn a profit on, when you look at how other clubs of a similar size are operating successfully in the modern game its leaving people like Dyche behind much like our board...its painful to watch how little thought process goes into running this club.

1st part yes, 2nd part no, was a weird rumour and the club own those properties.

[teblin]

The only part of the interview that made me think Dyche was vaguely like Nigel, was the bit about buying the right character of player, with the right attitudes.

 

It's something that NP used to talk about a lot, though also I guess that is subjective. Enzo's idea of the right attitude and Dyche's idea could be completely different.

 

The other thing that got me thinking after listening to the podcast, was with NP did we have a set philosophy as such? I think we mixed it up but it was around determination and hard word, that as well as great recruitment.

Problem is that's straight out of Rudkins book. Famously the reason we never got to see Jarod Bowen play for Leicester is because JR didn't like his attitude at the time.

Like I say that is completely subjective, to some extent I agree you need the right people, but also you need ability. There is a difference between someone being a bit of a "jack the lad" and someone who won't work and graft

And equally as important is someone who is accurate in their judgement of players.

They deserve each other.

 

I think we should just let Rudders be the manager.

I genuinely believe that with good players, a budget to spend, a good academy backing him up and time to implement a proper rebuild that Dyche is the man for the job.

 

He'd be the new Nigel Pearson. Someone that comes in, cuts out all the shit, restores the dressing room in the manager's favour and I think he'd do a good job at trimming the wage bill.

 

I also think that his teams are capable of playing good football but his first priority is winning games. Much rather a manager who works out the best way to score goals than someone who would rather make 95% pass completion for every player as we pass from side to side all day.

 

Yes I think it shows how far we've fallen, but we have. Besides a manager like Rohl (who we're not going to pay the release clause for) we'll be looking at the likes of Ancelotti which is a monumental risk. We're not going to fluke another Enzo.

I’m in agreement with you but then I look at Everton this season ….. maybe moyes had it easier because it became clear quite quickly that the bottom three weren’t going to challenge anyone.  Dyche was stuck in a mindset that a point was a good outcome in a game.   Or perhaps he’d just been there long enough and a different voice was required.

Very comprehensive article in the i newspaper today “change is expensive” although no hints at next steps

[Jazzy_Jeff]

I keep going round in circles but have landed on Dyche again.

 

We need stability and he doesn’t appear to be someone who uses clubs as stepping stones.

 

The Championship is poor. We could afford to lose 6/7 of the current squad, replace with cheaper alternatives/ academy players and we’d be competitive - even with a points deduction.

 

If we were to get promoted, he would be our best shout of grinding out enough points to stay up. No promoted team can go up and expect to stay there being expansive, it would be a battle and would need a sensible approach.

 

Some have commented about his reluctance to play youth - I think that’s just been because he’s been limited with options. He looks to me that would pick the best players available regardless of age. 
 

We need an identity- I think he would give us that and would work at reconnecting the board, staff, players and supporters.

"By Daniel Storey".... guessing it's not very complimentary then?

I kind of made that point too in my original post, the player recruitment is what made NP great(not just down to him), It was about "fit" and "attitude" but also they found some gems in terms of ability.

Ruud has done exactly that and has been blasted for it

I said it months ago and have become more and more convinced that it'll be Gerard.

He positively salivates at the prospect of us getting a 'heavy points deduction'. He can barely contain his excitement about it.

On what basis? It makes no sense whatsoever.

I was saying it was lazy journalism from unreliable sources all along, but did anyone listen. No, they preferred to wallow in typical LCFC misery.
