TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 20 June 2025 Posted 20 June 2025 Dyche would be a typical Leicester appointment Absolutely no thought gone into it. This is a time of transition, a new era, lots of new players to bring in and you bring in the biggest footballing dinosaur ever If this happens just shows how clueless the whole club is 2

We'll need 5 CBs with Souttar injured, and just the general grind of a long Championship season. Even with hopefully offloading all three of the parasites at CB we still won't need to buy any more. Souttar, Nelson and Okoli rotating are more than good enough. The last two times we've been in this league (and won it both times) we did it with three CBs in rotation more or less. 2

Agreed we need 5, but I highly doubt it will be that 5 due to the cost. I suspect the 5th will end up being someone cheaper. 1

In other words, if he's got no money to spend on buying (or bringing) in experienced players (which, is always his preference) and has to rely on relatively inexperienced younger players, he might not find us attractive enough to come. Add to that, a probable significant points deduction and existing players, used to playing in a tactical formation he doesn't like, we can't exactly be his 'cup of tea'!! Perhaps I'm clutching at straws here, but we really can't be high up on a list of clubs, he'd ideally want to come to. I agree with all that. Our constraints are not likely to be that attractive to Dyche, but he is such a stubborn bu**er and notoriously idiosyncratic (I was going to say, perverse, but people on here might get the wrong idea!), that he might consider it a challenge worth taking. Added to that, his mate Rudders, is likely to give him and his entourage such long and highly paid contracts, that is something he won't be able to turn down.

I would expect any incoming manager to want to sign a focal point centre half - one that’s been winning and helping keep clean sheets regularly last season.
Haywood_6 Posted 20 June 2025 Posted 20 June 2025 Dyche would be a step backwards. Honestly I can’t think of anything worse than watching a Leicester side play his brand of football. His last promotion was nearly a decade ago and the game’s moved on, and he hasn’t. If we’re moving on from Ruud it's for someone who backs youth and wants them to play with freedom and flair - thats not him. Remember most of teams we play next season will sit back against us. Easier said that done but find a man with the tactical nous (someone similar to Enzo) who knows how to unlock defenses and dominate games. To me that's the sensible route to go down
Popular Post Aleksz Posted 20 June 2025 Popular Post Posted 20 June 2025 Genuinely would rather Ruud than Dyche. For all his short comings it’s a miles better fit. 4 11

Popular Post Finnegan Posted 20 June 2025 Popular Post Posted 20 June 2025 2 hours ago, ClaphamFox said: I remain sceptical. If Dyche has been appointed and it’s being openly discussed between players and their agents, it would have reached some of the media outlets by now, yet there are absolutely no reports about this anywhere. It would also have very likely have influenced betting patterns enough to affect the odds, yet you can still get 13/8 on Dyche (Rohl is still 4/6). Of course it might be that it’s true and that it’s being widely discussed among agents yet has somehow completely evaded the attention of journalists and punters, but it doesn’t seem very likely to me. Yes, yes, give me that copium. 5

Supposedly players’ agents have told them. The fact that Dyche hasn’t taken another job and hasn’t been interviewing for any makes it highly credible to me. Going from Rodgers and Maresca to Sean Dyche shows we are clueless at the board level. If we truly wanted to go the progressive manager route we’d have gone for Cuesta who is very highly rated at Arsenal; they think he’ll be an Arsenal manager one day. So seeing him go again makes me believe the Dyche rumour. I’ll give any manager a chance but I feel like we are going to sign a few ex Burnley players and block the pathway for our younger talents. Id be surprised if its Dyche tbf, as he'd probably want a pretty penny in terms of a wage not seen/heard much on dyche coming tbh rather get a relative unknown like we did with a Enzo Edited 20 June 2025 by FrankieADZ 1

Not claiming the he was at all perfect, but he’s willing to build something at this club with the right priorities in mind. It’s a better fit than bringing in Michael Keane and co and benching our only shot at a long term future back to where we were. Dyche is a short term sighted appointment. 1

Gazza M Posted 20 June 2025 Posted 20 June 2025 Heard we are signing experienced Danish manager Sjean Dychesson who was released from Copenhagen. He has 2 promotions and Europa League experience. He works well on a limited budget and keeps teams up. Although seen as being old fashioned in his approach, he has a good record and a disciplinarian. He is also a free agent so no compensation. Think many on here would be quite flattered if it was real. 2

If we have a promising CB in the dev squad then he could be added to the squad and we hope he only needs to be called up in rare moments. But all our most-mentioned youngsters appear to be anything but CBs. Does anyone know if any of our developing CBs look promising enough to be included as the last option for that position in the first team squad next year?

I still maintain an experienced manager comes in after Cooper and we don’t lose 17 of 19 games and not score in 9 consecutive home games. The bloke is clueless tactically. We pick up a few wins and draws in those games and we give ourselves a fighting chance of stopping up. Not saying we’d of definitely stopped up but we would have at least took to the last 3 or 4 games in the season.
