Time for a reset

[Right_winger]

From Dyche and Garlick.

Running out of sell by date for them both. Garlick is too cautious and Dyche is well never ever going to change. 8 years and we have an old squad full of slow technically limited players

That was dire watching again tonight. We could well still be on 1 point after the next 5 games.

Thing is, hard to be critical of Dyche when he’s had so little support on recruitment.

In a way it might be a convenient excuse for his limitations, but we can’t possibly know that.

He had 16 senior players to choose from tonight

But he has been here for 8 years. He must take at least some of that responsibility for the state of the squad.

A ridiculous thread.

Yeah, he should have turned his hands to counterfeiting money during the lockdown.

It is but as I'm bored I'll play along.

Firstly who does the op suggest we hire as manager to replace SD? I'm curious who'd do a better job with our current budget.

And if we're going to release the purse strings, what happens in the event of either relegation, or covid continuing to impact income streams beyond this season.

We had to get the wage bill down to manageable levels, and that's what we've done.

There's going to be a lot of disappointed folks come Xmas when your shopping list isn't delivered as you'd wish, entitlement was mentioned on the match thread, and I genuinely feel many have been spoilt over the past decade, and have lost touch with the reality of our financial situation, the reality is we're never going to compete with most of the bankrolled PL clubs, and there was some fanciful ideas on the transfer thread, as well as some sensible ones, did anybody really expect us to sign Harry Wilson on his wages, because I certainly didn't.

And yet despite this we've been in the top flight for 5 years now, and during our stay we've finished 7th and qualified for Europe, and last season we finished 10th, yes we're having a bad trot, but there's far too many willing to throw their toys out of the pram, when things aren't going our way.

Doesn't matter now if we get rid of Dyche/Garlic/both

Whoever comes in will still have the same squad to work with

So so predictable...this thread is just identical to those seen last January before we went on that incredible run from Leicester H onwards. I'm a natural pessimist and , yes, I do fear relegation myself this season BUT what is undeniable from all the previous evidence is that the darkest hour is usually followed by a dawn so far as SD's BFC is concerned. The moaning about SD is intolerable given his achievements with us and the circumstances of our club compared to the vast majority of others in the PL. Keep the faith....not blind faith but faith based on all previous evidence.

Aren't there just?

SD made it perfectly clear over the summer he wanted more players

It has so far.

Liverpool did very well with it last season

“Well run club” we may be but in the next 18 months it’s coming home to roost. Lack of forward planning, lack of any strategy on recruitment, nothing in the youth team that realistically could come into the 11, once these 30 somethings have moved on there’s nothing there. Whose the next cork, Westwood etc? In a forward thinking Prem club these would be waiting in the wings.
