Had Dyche been at most other prem clubs before Christmas this year he would have gone. If he went to Palace they would not afford him that time in his first year.
I believe our club do give managers a period of time longer than others would.
Yes but its all relative. If you were Man Utd manager and in the bottom 3 at Xmas you would get sacked because of the expectation linked to the money and players you have at your disposal
If you have just taken a club like Burnely into Europe with their best league finish for almost half a century who are punching well above their weight then being bottom at Xmas isnt quite the same plus you have built up enough credit to be given the opportunity to turn things around
When we sacked Laws we were in the top half of the Championship. Kenny Jackett was manager of Millwall and had got them promoted from League 1 the previous season. They were below us in the league but Millwall didnt sack Jackett. Is that because Millwall give managers more time than us or was it because what was deemed acceptable for the clubs was totally different?
The point is Palace have a bigger budget, a bigger squad, better quality of players and with that more expectation. If Dyche went there he will back himself not to have them cut adrift at the foot of the table and will take the associated risks.
If Dyche had a good few successful years at Palace and got them in the Champions league do you think they would boot him out at Xmas the next season because they were bottom or do you think he would have earned up enough goodwill and credit to have the chance to turn things around like he had at Burnley.
Burnley have only had a handful of poor seasons since Stan took us up at the start of the century so its hard to judge us against other clubs because we have been brilliant at picking good managers and have constantly performed to our expected level and often performed above it
