Re: Dyche
But he didn't. He let players go, when we were recruiting. However, when the support was withdrawn for Garlick's 'fill my pockets' process, particularly around covid, he had to resign players who would have been replaced, at any other club.houseboy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2025 11:46 pmI think he will. Dyche did it for us but his Achilles heel was his stubborn faithfulness to underperforming players and it all went sour in the end. The Dyche years were great, fantastic, after what we’d been used to, but having Dyche back would be like going back to an old girlfriend, and I’ve never done that either.
Re: Dyche
I don't know why he pilots up with all the crap at Everton. He has worked miracles with nothing and yet the fans want him replaced by someone else, most likely to get them relegated!
They had some very good results against a series of top teams, before running out of steam. Same players, no depth, injuries to key players, not least Dwight McNeil.
Still working his miracles.

Re: Dyche
They've sold a lot of good players and not spent anything in terms of a net spend.
Beto was a desperate January buy because of injury to Dom Calvin Lewin last season.
I think the days of blaming managers for transfer spends are over because as often as not they don't have the final say in the players, the negotiations or the budget.

Re: Dyche
Either way Beto is pony and DCL wants to be a model and plays when he feels like it.
Re: Dyche
People seem to forget that they sold Onana in the summer. How do they expect to improve selling their best players and not being able to replace them. The expectations are ludicrous.
I'm pretty sure the signings they've made since Dyche has been there have basically just been players they could get for very generous installments with hardly any upfront fee.
He's not been allowed to build the squad he wants at all so I think he's doing a tremendous job under the limitations.

Beto
Chermiti
N'Diyae
O'brien
He also signed on Loan Lindstrom, Harrison and Mangala.
He's had funds. He's treated Beto, Lindstrom and O'brien dreadfully. Rumours are that loads of players have had enough and openly told the club about his methods and his awful footy. DCL for one has stopped playing for him.
He's a dinosaur, modern football has left him behind.

But they want a shot at goal and some passing. He hasn't even made them solid, Pickford has kept them in games.

They haven't got a single player who could play for a footballing manager. Best to clear out the crap and bring in some better footballers in the summer. A complete overhaul.
Re: Dyche
An awful job?
He's kept them in the division with zero resources, a poor squad and dreadful fans. They don't have the players to play a passing game after losing Onana, they tend to concede a shedload when they do without much reward.
He has a central midfield of Mangala, Gueye and Doucoure ffs, how on earth are you going to get a footballing side out of that.
Not to mention full backs of Mykolenko and Young (Patterson can't defend before he gets mentioned).
I think 90npercent of managers would relegate that side, Dyche had them above Brighton in total points last season I believe. It was an incredible achievement, up there with some of his Burnley achievements.

Re: Dyche
Since 21/22 Everton have sold Eur100 million players more than they have bought...!

I have no idea what role Dyche played in signing them but facts are facts look them up.
But to be honest I don't care ? I hope Everton sack him now and then we can see whether another manager gets a tune from those players.
Re: Dyche
Top of the spending charts then in the Prem with that amount over 2 years at the helm! And managers have all the say on transfers nowadays of course...

Re: Dyche
I suspect platers arrive and he is told to get on with it.
You can only play football and win with excellent players. He has a very average mish mash of a squad, as the best qere sold to keep the debt down and the finances seen to be improving, to avoid further point deduction.
Calvert-Lewin plays for himself. He'll be gone soon.
Whatever happens, Sean Dyche will get his contract paid.
He has worked wonders given the arrival point and points deducted.

Re: Dyche
Not exactly a huge number of players given that statistically, quite a number will always fail at any club. How many did Kompany sign for Burnley? There is no question to me - Dyche has not had it easy at Everton. The main problem he has there, and going forwards is the impression of his approach / style of play is going to be difficult to shake regardless of whether factually he is willing to be adaptable based on the situation (he's had two very similar ones)theduke wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 12:19 pmHe's spent money on the following players recently:

It’s ok saying he spent £45m on Beto and Chermiti - it’s easy to be selective at the ones that haven’t worked out. We spent the equivalent last summer on Amdouni, Tresor and Ramsey.
We played Dyche’s Everton last season 3 times and it was embarrassing how big the gap was between the 2 teams. We did not lay a glove on them.
As for DCL he’s been running his contract down and spent a lot of the time under Dyche unfit or injured. DCL “stopped playing” for him 2 years ago.
Dyche took over a sh-it team who were going to get relegated - which would have been a financial disaster with the new stadium. He’s had to cope with points deductions and less money to spend than any other team in the EPL and yet they still comfortably stayed up last season.
If he’s a dinosaur do you seriously think a young modern manager like VK would have done any better ?
The disrespect and rubbish talked about the best manager we have had in the last 50 years never ceases to amaze me.

Re: Dyche
After the turmoil Everton have been through for the past three or four years, with points deductions, lack of funds etc. Changes in ownership etc, Sean Dyche has performed a miracle every season to keep them up where others would have failed. He deserves credit.

Dyche was very much the manager Burnley needed back in 2012 and we were the club that Dyche needed. Perfect match. Sadly, I’m not sure he will ever be able to replicate the success he had with us. Would I have him back one day? Maybe. Depends on our situation.

Re: Dyche
The main argument I had about Dyche was his complete unwillingness to drop a badly performing Barnes at the time. He would stick with his favourites when we had better players sitting on the bench. I often wonder why, for instance, JBG was so frequently ‘injured’ under Dyche but was remarkably injury free once he’d gone. I don’t know and we never will but I think there was a problem there that was nothing to do with injuries. But that’s just a supposition.

Re: Dyche
Sky last night showed that Everton have scored just 26 open play goals since the start of last season (and one of them being Muric smashing the ball straight into DCL). Ignoring the 3 newly promoted teams, the next lowest was on 56.

So you wanted him gone and he has gone, have you tried moving on ?
You don't like his football why watch on tv then ? Something a bit odd about disliking something and to keep watching it. Like you say though for you it isn't irrational.
His failures as you put it will no doubt still be a lot more than you will ever achieve in life, maybe more progression could be made if you moved on from him.
