If we go for Dyche, we'll be the laughing stock of Southampton - and most other - fans! Sounds like Saints fans are rubbing their hands with glee, at the prospect of a Dyche managed Leicester. Can't believe nearly 50% of FT'ers think he's a good choice, in the poll. I tried to post a simple Rohl or Dyche poll, but no matter how many times I entered the question, I got an Error message. Can any FT member post a Poll? Edited 23 June 2025 by bald reynard 1

Was apparently spotted at EMA yesterday. probably having a week off before joining 🤣
Chelmofox Posted 23 June 2025 Posted 23 June 2025 33 minutes ago, dannythefox said: Why be a smart arse Well - not really. Unless we know the terms of a Dyche or Rohl proposal we can't make any comment of financial implications. But, (and this is a big assumption) if Dyche and his team has priced in their experience which includes several PL seasons, then i think its fair to believe he might command a higher salary than Rohl. Remember, when these contracts are locked in we have to pay the contract in full if we sack them. So, even taking Sheff Weds severance into consideration, Dyche could still be more expensive during the term of the contract. All that matters really is when it starts from a PSR perspective. Thats all assumptions by the way, but i think its fair to say Dyche might command a higher salary. He isn't free at all - it all costs. I don't think any of that is being a smart arse at all, or funny. Just reality of contract negotiations.

With what position we are in, like I have said before “WE ARE NOT GETTING MUCH BETTER”! I’m bedazzled by some on here who still think we are a great attractive club for a manager! We are not, I honestly think dyche is the very best we could get considering our circumstances!! Oh and no it’s not Shaun before any of you divs ask 🤣 My point is that we should be looking to appoint fairly young adventurous managers. Idk what you mean by great attractive club. We were never a great attractive club even after the season we won the PL. Star players were always looking to leave, established world class players would never consider to sign with us even if we were in Champions League. Our whole project was based on immaculate scouting of youth talent. When this started to collapse (especially when a specific person left the team) we were gradually in trouble. We were lucky 3-4 players carried this team for years. Vardy to Arsenal in 2016 and now we would have been in League 2.

Lambert09 Posted 24 June 2025 Posted 24 June 2025 If rohl wanted Ipswich that ship looks to have sailed as well. Looking increasingly likely that it’s us or a long wait for him now.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say those who haven’t heard of him are those who are just the day trippers, probably active on social media as well, attacking anyone questioning the club. It isn’t hard to know about a manager who we faced twice last season and who has physically been in our dug outs. Not knowing who he is means you’d have to have very scratch the surface level knowledge of football (so probably applies to Rudkin and Aiyawatt)! I really don’t think these are the kind of ‘supporters’ we need to be trying to please to be fair.
trooky Posted 24 June 2025 Posted 24 June 2025 Still can't believe we heard nothing from the club, the whole situation is bizarre and no way to run a football club.

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 24 June 2025 Posted 24 June 2025 I’ll be honest I personally think we’ve sounded people out but approached no one yet. The board respect Ruud for the way he’s dealt with everything so I can’t see approaches being made until he’s officially sacked. Wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t either Dyche or Rohl. Im just clinging onto straws that @FoxinNotts isn’t selling us an imaginary thoughts with regards to Rohl.

It could take many weeks from initial approach to finalising a manager/coach. Pre season starts next week, and we haven't even had one outgoing yet. They must have been approaching people if they knew Ruud was going. 1

Our squad is truly pitiful. who wants our players? Players also know we are paying ridiculous high wages look at Vestergaard for example. Doesn't play but doesn't want to go anywhere else because of his inflated wages. It really is a catch 22 situation.

We have to offload Bouba, Victor and Ndidi at least, and Riccy had said he wants out. We need decent funds for Mads and we need to sort something out for Daka. Then there is Faes who wants out as well. Need to keep BEK. And we need a manager plus coaching staff.

Dyche was named in the national media at the weekend as the leading contender to take over the reins at the King Power Stadium. Liked by City in 2017 when they were seeking a successor to Craig Shakespeare, the club have taken a different path in the following years. # Indeed, the last time City were in the Championship, they appointed Enzo Maresca, the Italian keen on controlling possession and prioritising his style of play. That would not be Dyche. His only focus is on results, no matter how they come. After two seasons of promoted teams immediately returning to the Championship, Dyche said on The Overlap last month: “People say it’s their philosophy. How about changing your philosophy and let’s stay in the Premier League rather than getting relegated? “If I was an owner and asked ‘What’s your philosophy?’ I’m thinking, please say ‘to win’. But managers will say, ‘We’re going to play out from the back, we’re going to pass it here…’ “If I’m an owner, I’m saying: ‘You’re not getting the job.’ You’ve lost sight of it before you even start. “The last two seasons, the three clubs who have come up have gone down again. Hang on a minute, surely one of you is going to change to stay in the Premier League? “But pundits will say it’s their philosophy. It’s almost like a get-out-of-jail-free card. “How about changing your philosophy? Your job is to get them into the Premier League and then to stay up. If I’m an owner, I’m saying: ‘Your job as the manager and the coaches is to find a way to keep us in the Premier League.’” While Maresca ended his one City season in a positive position with supporters, it wasn’t a smooth ride. Even mid-season, when City were well clear in the promotion places, fans in the stands were grumbling over the football on show, causing Maresca to threaten to walk out. When wins dried up in the early spring, the situation got worse. Dyche feels there are fanbases who want to see a different approach. He added: “I think there’s an uprising. I speak to fans and they’re bored. They get bored of teams passing around the six-yard line.” 2

I actually think if he takes us this season, he will probably play the best “football” of his coaching career. The squad will force him into that. I fear for our youngsters though and if we got promoted he would be both our best chance of staying up and utterly horrific to watch. I don’t mind us bringing Dyche in, I can understand the attraction but think there are some far better candidates out there. 2
