However when he does say something about the the way the club is thinking/moving in, he doesn’t often get it wrong. This, although there are some Athletic journalists that have assigned clubs who do break stories more often (excluding Ornstein who is their main transfer person). He likes to keep on side with the club, but it has been interesting he's been more critical recently about the board and club comms. Probably feels as frustrated as the fans. I don't think Tanner said wages were an issue, it was playing style. But if Top is less directly involved now similar to King Power, who knows? Edited 20 June 2025 by lcfc_forever 1
slymunn Posted 20 June 2025 Posted 20 June 2025 45 minutes ago, FrankieADZ said: well the way he plays, the fact he doesnt really give youth from within the club a chance, buys older players etc will probably want a high wage too, probably highest in the league look at how much better Everton are under Moyes compared to Dyche, same players and its a night and day difference The buying older players is something I don't fully understand about Dyche. Only 1 player in his 30 most expensive signing as a manager are over 30 and that's Joe Hart.
whoareyaaa Posted 20 June 2025 Posted 20 June 2025 Sometimes we have pulled a good manger that wasn’t expected, we should go all out for Southgate. 3

Sheffield Wednesday’s Danny Rohl has been consistently linked, but would be very expensive to prise out of his contract. Sean Dyche has also been mooted and would be free, although his wage demands would be high.

suffolk fox Posted 20 June 2025 Posted 20 June 2025 Tanner is about as clued up as we all are. I think they will stick with RVN.

TJB-fox Posted 20 June 2025 Posted 20 June 2025 1 hour ago, FrankieADZ said: Rohl, Wellens, Challinor someone who can adapt, not dinosaur Dyche as I said, we'll be getting the OAPs in the team if he comes, he rarely gives youth within clubs a chance I just dont understand why people would want Dyche given the types of players we have in the squad atm, we are basically going back to square one all over again Rohl I can get behind but Wellens/Challinor a big no thank you. Like I said, game of opinions.

Why because everyone assumes RVN will get the sack? He longed out the worst period the club had seen in the top flight and is still here. Everyone is hoping that’s because of annual finances. Maybes that’s wishful thinking
LestaLad Posted 20 June 2025 Posted 20 June 2025 Tanner knows absolutely nothing. It’s quite funny he’s our main reporter too, his articles are just his opinions. He has no inside knowledge of anything. 2

However I think any of us on this forum could tell you we haven’t met with any potential suitors because our board is useless and will probs start looking after/if we sack Rudd.
Phenom Posted 20 June 2025 Posted 20 June 2025 Last time we didn’t want to pay a buyout we ended up with Cooper instead of Corberan. Looks like we don’t learn… 2

Problem is, we can’t spend because we are relying on selling to meet psr and it doesn’t seem there’s concrete interest in any of our assets. We’d be having a different summer if we’d had 2 big bids in for Bilal and mads early doors. we’re probably in a full panic because we might not get the money in we’d assumed
