Not for me - this time I think we need experience - I really do not understand the lack of appetite in some fans for Dyche

 

Got Burnley promoted - punched above their weight for many seasons on a shoestring whilst maintaining prem status 

Kept Everton up with a mad owner and no budget

Granted footy was 4-4-2 and limited but was not working with that much

 

Still a prem manager that has got promotion and won’t have fancy dans like Faes, VK or Soumare anywhere near our team - do for me and I think it would be quite a coup to get him and every other club in this division would know we mean business !

 

Rohl is a risk I just don’t get..

In some ways Dyche woukd be a good appointment, proven promotion credentials, can organise a defence and I'd just love to see him stick the boot up a few of our prima donna's arses. 

 

The problem however is that Dyche doesn't play to our strengths.  What we have going for us most of all is our emerging youth players and our wingers.  Dyche tends to under use both of these assets and has a penchant for ageing journeymen and I think we have all had our fill of those.

What are our strengths with this bunch - not being funny it’s a serious question as I think we need a complete reset !

what I mean, if Dyche was "so in demand" etc, then someone like Brentford would be after his "proven record" in the premier league

and as you said, it shows alot when they appoint their set piece coach

They didn't appoint Danny Rohl either.

true but sure with someone with Dyche "proven premier league experience" he'd be on the list

but he wasnt even mentioned, while Danny Rohl sort of is, even tho its only as assistant

Feel like he's become a bit of a cliché since Everton. Not quite Redknapp levels but seems to be talking a lot of egotistical waffle on Talksport etc these days

We do.  A reset built around our emerging youth.  That is our strength along with wingers Fatawu and Mavididi (at this level).  

 

Dyche tends to prefer experience and tends to blunt wingers by having them turn and play safe balls.  I want to see them unleashed and cry havoc, personally. 

 

A Dyche reset might involve incoming players along the lines of Ayew and BDCR.

Yup Mav and Fatawu will score for fun I think, just need the right manager (Rohl)

 

Even using Ayew/Daka as the main man we would still have enough in us to score goals at this level.

Just no.

 

That would be a deja vu of the emotions experienced when Cooper was appointed last year.

Brentford are doing far better than we are, and have a much better squad.

Obviously. But my point was for someone with a fair few seasons of premiership managerial experience for not to be in the running while someone else with no experience gets the job says an awful lot.

Keith Andrews will be gone by October international break, I don't see that appointment going anywhere special. Trying to follow the same trend as before appoint someone already within like when Dean Smith left they went for the assistant manager. Sadly I think there's difference between Thomas Frank and Keith Andrews.

[Free Falling Foxes]

Whoever we appoint will, of course, be given a clean slate and a fresh start.

Imagine though, when the first games starting eleven is announced, and it contains Vesty, Faes, Soumare, Daka and one or two others.

As daft as it seems, If we should lose the match, many will be concerned immediately. 

[Lesterlad]

I would imagine any other club would have a new manager in line to start first thing tomorrow as it’s the start of the new financial year. But this is LCFC and we have no idea what to do 

[Brainy]

Dyche wouldn't be on Brentford's radar both last week nor in January if Andrews gets canned and that's nothing to do with Dyches credentials, just that they have their own ways of recruiting and would do something like Brighton with the young guy they got. West Ham would be more likely to go in the direction of Dyche even though they've got much more of a pull than Brentford

Don’t want to be fearful but they’ve actually looked at Sheffield wednesday and decided it was the assistant manager they needed

I fear that if we appoint Dyche that's exactly the type of lineup we will see.

 

All of the players you have mentioned are either crap, or don't want to be here. 

 

Whilst I appreciate that the team can't be packed full of youth,  IMO it does need a higher percentage starting or at least playing some part of our matches. We need to be starting player who want to actually play and give their all for the team, unlike tw@ts like Faes or work shy jogging donkey's like Soumare.

Being a championship side offers the opportunity to "blood" new players or give starts to the likes of Monga to aid there progression, due to the step-down in opposition quality. 

Dyche if appointed I get the feeling won't do any of the above and will revert to experience much like Cooper did, and transfer in dross that we can't shift on for a profit like Ayew.

Brentford are a poor example though.

They have a very specific model like Brighton.

 

A better comparison/way to illustrate your point is when the promoted sides sack their managers, or clubs in and around there that don’t have a hipster philosophy.

it isnt tbf, its a perfectly valid point

and a very specific model you say......oh one like Leicester had before Cooper came in then yeah? where they sign a manager/HC with a more possession based style...

and hipster philosophy....so you mean controlling the ball, and passing it

 

but I guess some of our fans forget what has been before

Matthew wilder down the wing, never going to break his stride.

For all the media talk about Lee Carley, all I'll say is I remember Peter Taylor.
