Went to Earby clarets Q&A evening with Mr Dyche.
We all already know it, but what a guy.
Straight as they come, open and honest, and due to the relaxed atmosphere was his joking lighthearted self.
Such a privilege to have him in charge.
In short...
Wants to keep Jeff, they're in dialogue but it isn't as simple as just offering him what he wants and signing him on, as we can't just double wages. Hopefully some news soon.
JBG and Vydra always look grumpy, neither barely crack a smile but are happy.
Trippier is his all time favourite player
He often chats with Duff and Barton, bits of advice hear and there.
Rubbished fall outs with Gray.
Thinks Michael Oliver is the countries best ref, wouldn't say who ge thought was the worst.
Doesnt have a clue what Mee has to do to get an England call up
Money is available in Jan
Billy mercer thinks Pope is genuinely the best English GK about
Thinks this is his best and strongest squad due to depth.
Jay Rod was 10m this summer, last summer they wanted 20m
Chris Wood has a hamstring injury and is a doubt for Sat, Barnes and Cork could feature
He's had a bene n hot, and quite likes it
Says the first win at Ewood and walking out way after full time to the fans still bouncing was a fantastic experience
Plus much more I'll probably remember tomorrow.
Long may he reign!
Edit - some more that popped into my head...
Said his dream job ( not his ambition or goal ) was to manage Manchester United, due to the size if the club globally and the challenge it would bring. Also the transition they're currently in.
Regards Gibson, said he knew he would have a challenge getting in when he signed, but the form of the current 2 is just life, but he is a top pro, and was very unlucky at the start of his time here with 2 injuries
Billy Mercer said training with the 3 England goalkeepers at one was like having 3 women, as if you spent more time with 1, the other 2 got the face on.
SD thinks Liverpool will win the league
Likes and supports VAR and has only got angry over it on Saturday because the ref briefed him and the coaches on what would happen and what he would do in certain situations, then didn't bother.
Said players and refs don't banter on the field anymore as the refs will write a report on it.
Said diving isnt just a foreign thing, and English players are doing it, fans are accepting it and dont seem to want it out of the game.
And obviously the most important part of the evening the pie and peas were excellent, sadly they ran out of steak by the time I had got there, but as chance would have it there were 2 stuck together so managed to sample a cheese and a meat with peas and gravy.
Very nice indeed, bit there was no pepper about.
