Re: Transfer budget next season
All good points apart from the mythical 20 goals a season striker. Most of the top 6 clubs would like a 20 goal a season striker but they are as rare as Hens teeth and cost a lot of money.minnieclaret wrote:Spine of any side is the key to success.

Shouldn't cost anywhere near the amounts the OP mentions and would advance us.

Re: Transfer budget next season
If any stands are going it should be James Hargreaves. Build a decent one incorporating things that can be used to make more money all year round, corporate, better disabled facilities etc. Plenty of room.
Saying that doing the ground up would be low down my priorities save the usual touch ups.

Re: Transfer budget next season
Id be very surprised if new contracts for Gray and Boyd werent agreed. Dyche has had a huge impact on both careers.
Re: Transfer budget next season
Can't see Dyche being in a rush to leave. Unlikely that any of the top seven clubs would be in for him with perhaps the exception of Everton if they were to sack Koeman. A West Ham, Southampton or Stoke could be interesting, if any of those were to part company with their managers, but I think the rest of the current Premier League clubs either lack stability or aren't that much more of an attractive prospect than Burnley anyway.
At the end of the day, he is at a club where the Board are patient and willing to support him, the fans love him and the players are playing for him. As seen with a lot of other managers (and players) who have left for seemingly better things, the grass away from Turf Moor is not often that much greener.
Risk is that he thinks he's taken us as far as he can, but it's not as though there is much upside if he goes to another club. We are, after all, currently one of the top 12 clubs in the country and so the upside is fairly limited, unless he can land a job at one of the top clubs which seems unlikely at is stage. Indeed there are plenty of managers with a lot more top flight experience than Dyche who have never landed one of those top jobs ... think BFS, Pullis, Sparky, Bruce. The only one that has in recent times was Moyes to Man U and he failed to succeed and he is now rotting at the bottom of the league with Sunderland.
As for new signings (assuming Keane is the only permanent departure and Flanagan goes back to Liverpool once his loan is up), I think we will need at least one new centre half, two new full backs (left and right), a pacy winger (still) and another striker (being an upgrade on what we have, not a fourth choice back up).

Re: Transfer budget next season
Leicester would be the club who I could see moving for dyche. It's on his doorstep and I think after driving up and down the M6 four times a week for 4 years he might simply fancy a job closer to home. After all, in his words 'it's not a forever story.'
As for taking us as far as he can, I'd question that. Surely he'd expect further progress with a whopping brand new training ground he's had such an influence in shaping.

Re: Transfer budget next season
I'm honestly not bothered in the slightest about an expanded Corporate area. An extra 2-3,000 seats wouldn't go amiss, but no more or we'd have a half empty ground if relegated. Put £10m Side in each of the next 3 seasons and then I'm sure any new developments on the ground would be viable.Blackrod wrote:I think we should think bigger and 2-3k extra capacity wouldn't go amiss.

Re: Transfer budget next season
We are currently selling 97% of our official home area capacity on average, and 95% of the ground. I'd suggest that if that trend continues next season, and we look comfortable, then it's time to look at respectable expansion plans. For the really big games we would sell 30,000 given the seats and larger away following, and more home seats would allow us to do offers to get the next generation involved with school freebies etc. Longer term thinking. I wouldn't suggest more than 25,000 no matter what the designs thoug, as it would be a bit foolish I think.claretspice wrote:2-3 k extra takes us up to around 25k. As and when we're selling out 70% of home fixtures, we should consider it. For now, we're not. I'm not even sure we sold out Chelsea on Saturday.

I think it's by design so as not to overcommit ourselves. 3 year deals even this season mean they get a deal this year (Prem money), and then two further years with parachute cash if relegated.Spijed wrote:Don't we always have the problem with 3 yr deals for our players?

I think if we stay up, which means 3 years of parachute pay,ends, you might see 4 year deals, or 3.5 year in the January.

We already have the 20 goal a season striker in Gray (actually 15-20). This is his first season at this level and a very disrupted one in which he has missed quite a lot of games, but I reckon he will still finish on 10. With a full season, some improvement and hopefully some better service, he is more than capable of getting somewhere near 20.
First thing we need to do is sort a new contract for him.

If you hadn't noticed, Dyche likes to be in control and there aren't many clubs where he can get that.
When he goes it'll be right for him, and huge club and money won't come in to it.

Most every day folk travel more and spend more time at work than a football manager will. Managers, like players move around and a successful one will move to wherever is the best opportunity for his career.
I believe Dyche could take us further here. But look at Wenger at Arsenal they all want him out. Look at Phil Brown and Aidy Boothroyd, seen as the next big things - they soon disappeared. You have got to maximise your earning potential and career opportunities. Moving to a Newcastle would open up many more doors. He would be in the spotlight and there is much more potential there than there is here.
After Newcastle he would almost certainly be guaranteed a job at a club of our size after that even if he failed.

We are probably more stable and we are a good fit for Dyche right now. Jay Rodriguez left us for Southampton and he apparently has an affinity for our club.
Dyche clearly loves it here. And is a big part of our success on and off the field. But if a bigger, better opportunity came along he would be off. Watford, a club he had a long association with, much longer than us binned him off with not much thought. Things change very quickly. Look at Ranieri. 90% of their fans want him out!

I get him. He is the best manager of my lifetime. That is why a bigger, better opportunity than Burnley will come along and he will take it. When the time is right. I hope that time is many years to come.
He is an intelligent man. As you pointed out. Thats why he will take the right opportunity at the right time. And why he wont stay here beyond what he believes is where he can take us. If he does there is a risk he could become a Pulis, or a Hughes. Good Premier League Manager. Likely to get good jobs at good clubs but nothing better.
The best time to move is when your stock is high. Dyches stock is as high as it has ever been right now.

Because both are logical reasons why he would leave. In the case of Brown and Boothroyd they didnt move when their stock was high. In the case of Newcastle they are a bigger club than us paying more money with more potential.

Re: Transfer budget next season
I am not saying he will be their next manager, but if the job arose and they wanted him I would be very surprised if he didnt go there. All managers (Keegan aside) under Ashley for all the so called madness have retained their reputation and at worse gone back to the level they were at pre Newcastle.
Lets look at Newcastles managers under Ashley. Then even someone with half a brain can see why a job there would appeal. Thats even before you consider the potential, the facilities, the 50k a week gates and the multi million pound salary.
Benitez - Before Newcastle last job Real Madrid. Previous 5 jobs Napoli (second wealthiest club in Italy) Chelsea, Inter, Liverpool and Valencia). He is being paid millions. (in the top ten managers in the world). If he leaves they will pay similar money to the right man.
McClaren - Post Newcastle back at Derby where he was before. (Who had we not had Dyche would be a bigger club than us). No worse off than he was.
Pardew - Left for Palace where the fans loved him. So still got a decent job post Newcastle.
Hughton - No management experience before Newcastle. Since went to Brimingham. Decent club, at the time in the championship and in Europe. Were probably more of a draw than we were at the time. Then went to Norwich in the premier league, kept them up before being unfairly disimissed. Now at Brighton a club on the up with big backing.
Keegan - Strange appointment to appease the fans, didnt work and Keegan retired again
Allardyce - Got good jobs and had relative success at Rovers, West Ham, Sunderland before getting The England gig and cocking it up. Then ended up with another good job.

Re: Transfer budget next season
So looking at the list of managers, the players they've had and they're still in the championship...
With a massive wage bill.
They need intensive surgery on that squad to make it a half decent PL squad.
Even in January Benitez wanted to sign more players, but he should be walking the league really.
It requires a long term fix up there but the fans haven't got the patience due to believing they're some sort of massive club who should be in the upper echelons of the PL.
Dyche will do more for his reputation building us up then he will going there for a year or so.

Up to that point is exactly why he would be the perfect fit for them.
I hope Benitez stays there. If Benitez stays or they dont go up there is no chance he would go there. If they came up and he left though Dyche would be right at the top of their list.
Dyche will move when his stock is highest. 2 months ago there was talks of Howe for Arsenal and England. Now they are saying he could be fired.
Football is a very fickle game and Dyche will know this, especially after Watford.

Re: Transfer budget next season
Then Newcastle aside lets look at the premier league.
Chelsea, City and United will certainly keep their managers. But beyond that there is no certainty. If Liverpool don't finish top 4 big questions will be asked of Klopp. Would he go there, absolutely. Would they want him probably not but they took Rodgers from Swansea.
Pochetinno would probably be at Spurs and Dyche is not the sort would imagine that would interest Spurs at this stage.
So realistically it is Everton downwards that may be interested in him and Bournemouth, Hull and probably Watford & Sunderland aside would interest him. Especially the likes of Southampton, West Ham, Everton, WBA if they became available.
Our most important transfer next season is giving Dyche a proper contract, not this one year rolling thing he has. Give hm a 4+ year deal on big money. He has earnt it.

Re: Transfer budget next season
I was of the understanding Dyche was on a rolling contract because that was what HE wanted - not what the board wanted - also that rolling contract has been improved at least twice during his tenure and he has benefitted from 2 large promotion bonuses (well earned) and will no doubt have a huge bonus for keeping us up this timecricketfieldclarets wrote:

He may well deserve a further upgrade but it is unlikely he would want a long fixed term contract,
Question - do you think we should give him the type of contract he wants or risk him walking away because we insist he signs a fixed term deal?

Any increase to the ground would -from a business point of view- be focused on increasing commercial matchday revenue. The most sensible option for this would be corporate boxes at the back of the Bob Lord and a new roof to accommodate them.claretandy wrote:No one is saying 25k plus but 2 to 3k extra on the bob lord with a new roof and premium seating would be ok, most of the decent seat are already gone.

We don't need an awful lot, it all depends on outgoings. If nobody leaves I'd say we would only need a new striker to partner Gray and another fullback.

Re: Transfer budget next season
I get that. We need to entice him into signing a longer deal. Perhaps with a certain release clause in (champions league ckub or england). contracts arent worth the paper theyre wrote on these days so he could leave anyway. If hes in demand and he wants to go it would happen. But a longer contract gives us both security and reassurance.Chester Perry wrote:I was of the understanding Dyche was on a rolling contract because that was what HE wanted - not what the board wanted - also that rolling contract has been improved at least twice during his tenure and he has benefitted from 2 large promotion bonuses (well earned) and will no doubt have a huge bonus for keeping us up this time
He may well deserve a further upgrade but it is unlikely he would want a long fixed term contract,
Question - do you think we should give him the type of contract he wants or risk him walking away because we insist he signs a fixed term deal?
I dont know the answer though in this case. Maybe its because i am thick
Re: Transfer budget next season
What are the positives with this rolling contract for Dyche as opposed to a standard X year contract? Is his contract reviewed on a yearly basis? so he's given a yearly bonus and a yearly rise? (well earnt)
Re: Transfer budget next season
The post does say quite early "should we stay up". It's a hypothetical topic to stimulate debate and establish opinions. I'd say if you are going to disagree with something at least read what you're disagreeing with.charlyt wrote:Hang on a bit.
Lets get the points and then return to this daft post....!

If he has a mare next season it's cheaper to sack him on a rolling contract then it would be on a longer term contract.KRBFC wrote:What are the positives with this rolling contract for Dyche as opposed to a standard X year contract?

Managers can walk away with millions if they're on longer contracts, obviously dependant on their wages.
The downside is it's easier/cheaper for clubs to lure away a manager who's on a rolling contract then it is to get one on a longer contract.
Re: Transfer budget next season
Dyche will obviously want what's best for him but he is focused on what is best for the club too. I'm sure he wouldn't be against us receiving a handsome compensation figure if anyone wants to speak to him.
I'd like to think any new deals will also include this when he does eventually leave. The current deal probably does anyway.

Re: Transfer budget next season
But how does that part (I made bold) benefit him? the rolling contract was Dyches choice surely to benefit himself not allow us to sack him for peanuts. The 2nd part makes sense as to why it benefits him a little but it kinda shows a lack of dedication to a long term project. I can't doubt his long term dedication, just from looking into it a bit deeper, a manager demanding a rolling contract seems a little strange. I must have missed out some of the major benefits, possibly something to do with bonuses/wage structure.Sidney1st wrote:If he has a mare next season it's cheaper to sack him on a rolling contract then it would be on a longer term contract.

Re: Transfer budget next season
Part of the agreement with Barnfield construction regards the building and naming of the training facilities at Gawthorpe is that they are to build a new stadium which we will share with Nelson FC, work has already started on this and is scheduled to be completed by 2075.
The sites location is directly across the road from Nelson and Colne college, perfect for the by pass and motorway.

Re: Transfer budget next season
You can't expect Michael Keane to stay. This is his career and of course he wants to play for a top 6 club. He has served the Club well. However, I think we will have the funds to bring a good replacement in.
Same with Tom.
I can't see Sean staying for more than another year. Once he thinks he has put the Club on solid foundations, I think he will consider it a job done! I hope he gets his chance in a top 6 club. Replacing him is going to be a huge challenge!

Re: Transfer budget next season
Effectively a 1 year rolling means Dyche starts every day on a new 1 year fixed term contract - most people who consider themselves on a permanent contract at work have between a week and 90 days entitlement to earnings should they lose they job for whatever reason - Dyche has a yearKRBFC wrote:What are the positives with this rolling contract for Dyche as opposed to a standard X year contract?

This could be looked at as a permanent contract +++++ and allows both parties to get on with running the club without worrying about contracts running down. So if you want Dyche tied to a long term deal you cannot effectively have a longer term deal than this - should both parties continue to want it to progress he is here for life.

We don't need a direct replacement as James Tarkowski looks more than good enough.LoveCurryPies wrote:You can't expect Michael Keane to stay.

Re: Transfer budget next season
I think it will be as much, if not more than we've spent this year which was/is close to 35m
if my calculations are correct (Brady 13m + Westwood 5m + Hendricks 10m + Defour 7m).
If we sell Keane then probably more as we will need to get another centre half in.
It's likely we may even turn in a profit this year and even if we end up having to pay
some players 50k a week then we should still have a wage bill of say 40-50m max.
That does leave a significant amount for transfers but fully expect us to be relatively frugal
so I would guess we might go up to 40m in terms of spend.
That should be enough to bring in the 3 or 4 players we will likely need.
It's difficult to imagine we would be in a position to spend that much but it does seem more than feasible
given the income coming in which may well exceed 100m - be it this or next season assuming we stay up.
