Mark Hughes isn't the only manager on the planet.claretonthecoast1882 wrote:We could pot Dyche get Hughes and give the whoppers on here what they deserve
Such a pathetic post which highlights that it is actually you that is a whopper as you can’t accept somebody having an opinion that differs from yours.claretonthecoast1882 wrote:We could pot Dyche get Hughes and give the whoppers on here what they deserve

Anybody who is calling for Dyche to be replaced whilst on a run of 7 wins in 35 league games is more that entitled to their opinion regardless of if you agree with it
Completely agree! I believe that it’s the end of the road and that we should get rid of Dyche however I don’t have the answer of who we should be targeting. That won’t change my views on him no longer being the man for the job because fortunately the task of replacing him doesn’t sit with me.Lancasterclaret wrote:They are, but I'm never going to stop pointing out that if we replace him, we need to have a replacement lined up who will improve the results and the football.
If you appoint BFS/Pulis (and possibly Moyes) then you increase your chances of staying up, but you know that will be it. Once you are safe, the team won't push on and the football will be unwatchable. That is one thing that you can guarantee under SD is that he's played decent stuff and pushed into a place above our wildest dreams.
To me, that deserves him getting more time than he's getting on here from some (though I fully respect those I know who think differently)
You won’t find too many posts of mine that are particularly critical of Dyche and certainly none where I randomly insult people with a differing opinion. It is more your lack of reasonable debate that really highlights your shortcomingsclaretonthecoast1882 wrote:Weird isn't it the ones who are the most critical get so defensive when they themselves are criticised

I can't see him managing another Premier League Club, I don't think he could hack it in the Championship and he wouldn't want work League One or lower. He'll do the media stuff then get a job in some obscure club in the UAE, China or India.

Running a club is most definitely not a easy task with so many different people to please. For me, we had to bet a little in order to stay in this league as I worry dropping down will be equally as difficult with the amount of money some clubs have in there. The lack of investment in the first team in the summer was criminal. Not everybody agrees but I think that it’s time to look towards an investor with deep pockets. I hear the horror stories and am aware of the examples where this went spectacularly wrong but the clubs where this is work far outweigh the clubs that it didn’t workLancasterclaret wrote:Well, the boards lack of ambition is really only called by Burnley fans and radio phone in shows who want Burnley fans to ring in to complain about it.
Vast majority of football clubs and fans look enviously on what we have and what we have achieved.
I agree, there’s no obvious solution. What’s the answer Lancaster? If you had a magic wand, what would you change to get us out of the mess we find ourselves in?Lancasterclaret wrote:Well, they tend to work in the prem, and they tend not to work when the premier league money stops.
Thats the problem to be honest.
You have to remember that the Venkys have lost an absolute fortune making BRFC mid table in the championship. Ditto those in charge of any club that has been relegated from the premier league.
I can see why people might want rid of SD (though I repeat that he's been an unqualified success for years for us and deserves more time) but I can't see why you'd then push that to include the board.I agree, there’s no obvious solution.

And my magic wand would be used to ban people texting on mobile phones while walking down the stairs out of the JHU!
I'm a bit too selfish to be entrusted with that sort of power!
But no, I've got nothing at the moment, though I believe that he's got to makes changes to players who normally would be considered undroppable.
Agreed. A willingness from Dyche to try something different as well as a bit more fight from the players would go a long way for me.jrgbfc wrote:Just Dyche making some changes and trying something different for Wednesday would lift the crowd a bit. The likes of Ben Mee and Cork don't deserve to be starting at the moment.
We have one of them at the moment, just because he doesn't get his own way it doesn't mean he doesn't challenge them.MRG wrote:For the record, I believe that the boards lack of ambition is the issue and we need a manager who would be willing to challenge them
Oops, this is apparently the man they want.

Our performances at the start of the season were much better than we are currently experiencing - in fact Southampton away (first game of the season remember) we really could have and should have won that 2 or 3 nil and we played very well for large parts of the game - consider the launchpad a good away victory on the first day of the season does for confidence (last season for example). It is fine margins...Blackrod wrote:Southampton have actually performed and been very unlucky in some games. Wish we could say the same.
Definitely not brave enough but would be an interesting sort of appointment. I'd like us to dip our toe in that sort of pool.Lancasterclaret wrote:Oops, this is apparently the man they want.
Now if we were to pot Dyche, would be we be brave enough to go down this sort of route (which is the way I'd like us to go if that ever became necessary)
I think trying something drastically different against Liverpool is one of those high risk, high reward scenarios. Yes, we could get hammered but that could well happen if we don't make changes. Imagine we try 3 at the back and actually get a draw or even beat Liverpool. That could do wonders for confidence. I'd be willing to take the risk. Mind you, that's easy for me to say from the safety of my living room!WestMidsClaret wrote:Let's say he (Dyche) tries something different on Wednesday and we get tubbed. It will just go back to the same tactics and line up we've had recently. I actually think there's no point in trying something different against the Liverpool's etc we should be doing it against Brighton. Totally different kettle of fish. Unless there's a massive change of fortune, thinking and form we are going to get tonked. We could get lucky and change things up against Liverpool and win but if we change it, get dicked, then we've learnt nothing. And will go back to the same old for Brighton.
But in saying all that we need 3 points so I don't know what the actual answer is. That's why I'm not a manager.

Dont disagree mate, but sacking Dyche now would be a terrible decision - he is the only manager capable of changing things for us and giving us a chance.WestMidsClaret wrote:Rich we are a million miles away from the Southampton performance. In all sorts of catergories.
Just playing devil's advocate here but what on earth makes you think our board world appoint Hughes, Moyes or Big Sam?Lancasterclaret wrote:But premier league clubs who pot managers mid-season tend to go for the same type of manager
Thats Hughes, Moyes and BFS available.
My love for SD has just gone up several notches!
All that yet they overlooked the need to strengthen the team in order to remain competitive at this level.LoveCurryPies wrote:Ain’t that the truth of those calling for Sean to go!
And as for your accusation of the Board’s lack of amibition....well that’s just laughable. They bought Turf Moor back, invested millions in the training facilities, signed the best manager this club has had (certainly in the last 30 years), and filled out team with international level players.
You've just kinda proved what I'm getting at. We appoint UK managers.[Just playing devil's advocate here but what on earth makes you think our board world appoint Hughes, Moyes or Big Sam?
This coming from a club who appointed Coyle, Howe and Dyche. The club was in the eye of a storm when they appointed Laws, but other than that they have a type, which isn't any of the names you mentioned.
If Dyche was sacked we'd be more likely to try someone like Jokanovic in my opinion. Young, point to prove, experienced in the Championship if the worst happens.
Agree. I'm undecided whether sacking Sean would be a good idea or not. I never run the club, manager or players down (well maybe for a few minutes after the shite we saw on Saturday ha or I do if they deserve it) but I can't keep watching a team with no fight or desire. Looks like we are in the last few games of the season getting ready to camp on the beach and that is not good enough by any stretch of imagination.Rick_Muller wrote:Dont disagree mate, but sacking Dyche now would be a terrible decision - he is the only manager capable of changing things for us and giving us a chance.
I do like the idea of shaking it up against Liverpool, but its almost damned if you do and damned if you dont so I personally would keep trying with what we do with minor changes to the personnel - I would like to see a fully fit Tarks back in, and I would also like to see Hendrick played in the middle, perhaps at the expense of Cork who is definitely misfiring;
He changes radically and we get tubbed, there's still no confidence, or he could shatter more players - for example Vydra if he comes in;
He changes radically and we get a result - he'll be expected to keep the changes for Brighton where we'll need to have a completely different approach - they ain't Liverpool, and we'd likely get tubbed again;
He doesn't change anything and we get tubbed - business as usual;
He doesn't change anything and we get a result - that's the only scenario where we move forward as it gives our players confidence to perform.
That's quite a laughable comment. The board have shown incredible ambition and supported the manager to the point that we have spent four of the last five seasons in the Premier League, some achievement for a club our size. As for a manager willing to challenge them, I can assure you there isn't one who will challenge them more than Sean Dyche.MRG wrote:For the record, I believe that the boards lack of ambition is the issue and we need a manager who would be willing to challenge them
