I no longer wonder why some Burnley fans just can't enjoy the game.

Re: Everton move for Dyche
If Everton want to just stay in the Premier League this season then SD is not for them, if they want to build over the next 2-3 seasons then he is the correct choice, whether they move for him at all is another question, myself I would have thought they would be looking for someone with European experience, we will just have to wait and see.

happy to share my views on 9/11 and the moon landings, but not on this thread. I see you have resorted to insults which indicates that you have lost the argument already. In this modern world where the media are as influential as they are (dare I mention Russians and Trump...?) what I am alluding to is not that fetched at all. Remember the old saying from the song "money makes the world go round..." - Sky are an organisation who's purpose is to make money, if that means they can use one of their products to influence another they will - why is my inference of this "pathetic" is my question to you?mohamed69 wrote:Yawn.

Re: Everton move for Dyche
Kenwright would go for him but the new owners I doubt will, so Burnley should be safe. Dyche won`t get a bigger club than Everton though so IF he was offered the job, regardless of their perilous position, he would have to seriously consider it. I`v had qualms about Dyche at times regards style of play but would rather not lose him.

Re: Everton move for Dyche
You can make good arguments for both staying and going, at the end of the day SD will decide whats best for him. Is it just Sky talk, definitely a possibility, that's what they do. The argument that they are not in a rush and might leave it until the international break suggests that it is just headline making. If that piece was true why would SD be interested in going to a team that dithered over signing him in the first place.
There is no quick fix at Everton, that is a team of old men (going down hill fast) and young talent (that is not getting the support they deserve). He would need at least 3 new signings in defence, but what are the odds of Evertons new owners giving him that time. SD is an honest man, with us and himself, he is still learning about the game at this level. There is no better club than US to be at to get the time needed to grow into the premier league. In another couple of years, IF we are still progressing, then he will probably have the CV to take on Everton with the knowledge that the job isn't too big for him, and the confidence that he can make it work.
We've had a fantastic start to the season. We still have the January window coming to bolster the team even further, and survival, which is looking good at the moment (one game at a time) would lead to a massive windfall in terms of money, and the power to buy big in the summer. I hope that SD sees the potential of this club he's helped evolve over the last 5 years, and is excited about finishing off the great job he's started.
Whatever the outcome he's earned the right to make his own decision.

He'll go when Liverpool want him.
Everton have always been the fancy team, the team that delighted the eye but weren't always that successful, Liverpool are that much more pragmatic, and Dyche if he is anything is pragmatic.

Re: Everton move for Dyche
In the paper I have read this morning the article on the Everton new manager search is all about BFS and Ancelotti. In summary BFS being available now and interested in the job with Acelotti available and interested at the end of the season. Final small paragraph says also listed in the betting are Sean Dyche, Chris Coleman and Thomas Tuchel. Truly amazing how things like this are portrayed in the various media departments.
Re: Everton move for Dyche
Chris Boden saying there are legs in the Big Sam to Everton story.
You'd think he'd be a better choice than SD simply because he's done it at more than one club.

Re: Everton move for Dyche
Dyche can manage a top 6 club in the future but I feel he needs to adapt to a more attacking style of play in order for him to attract interest from those clubs. Can he do that at Burnley? Yes. A solid defence with a capable midfield (especially Cork and Defour). Quick wingers who can put a quality ball in to a clinical striker (Wood). Also, last night showed are full backs are willing to go forward.
Dyche has compiled a team over 5 years which he can proudly call his own. Does he have the ingredients to play 'top 6' style football at Burnley? I think so hence why I don't think there is a need to move to Everton.....yet.

Re: Everton move for Dyche
I can see BFS going in to rescue Everton this season which would afford Everton and us to arrange an agreement for Dyche to "transfer" to them in the close season.
I just dont think leaving half way through a season fits with the Dyche ethos, in fact it goes against everything he practices at Burnley and would only serve to identify him as a fraud if he did leave mid season, in my opinion of course, and that is why I dont think he will leave yet because he is completely genuine and has integrity and is no fraud at all.

To be fair, in this modern era of the game this is as probably as good as it will ever get with Burnley. 7th in the table. He's reached the pinnacle here.
All that's left now is consolidation at this level, a little tweak here and there , but nothing changing in the mainstream of things , and this is probably the best we can hope for ..... a situation that will please most fans.
Even if he were to take the Everton job and it all went tits up I think his stock would still be high because of what he has done here, so nothing for him to lose really. You have to be quite a serial loser in order for your stock to fall quite far. Look at David Moyes ... Man U, Spain, Sunderland .... and even then after that catalog of failure he's still touted with getting other jobs .... such as Burnley should it be vacant .... god forbid.
Having said all that I desperately want him to remain. I think he's suited to our general stock of our native Anglo-speaking employees and employers of our club. It's a great fit.

Re: Everton move for Dyche
BFS will not come to Burnley.
He likes the reputation of saving teams from relegation and building in a multi million pound bonus for doing so into his contract.
If Dyche does go I'm sure our board will appoint for the long term not for the next 6 months.
If we appoint anyone like BFS and Moyes I would be surprised and very disappointed - these guys are on £2m or £3m a year minimum and manage like dinosaurs.

Re: Everton move for Dyche
All Burnley fans overwhelm any official Everton website that you can. Anyone know where Kenwright lives?
Re: Everton move for Dyche
Imagine being Dyche and walking into Everton as their new manager - at the Turf he is number one. Players know their role, there are no massive egos but a togetherness and understanding that Dyche has carefully fostered over 5 fruitful years at the club. It would be a difficult task for Dyche to join Everton if they were performing well and at the right end of the table. Joining them now is an accident waiting to happen.
I have no qualms in Dyche wanting to excel himself, he deserves that chance as much as anyone but the risks involved in joining Everton (right now) make the whole idea hugely questionable.

IMO, going to Everton would be a big mistake for SD. Moyes groomed to be the next Man U manager, fell on his ar5e and has done nothing since; Martinez came in and got sacked, Koemans came in and got sacked and now Unsworth on his second caretaker spell. All this since SD became Burnley manager, so why would he stick his head in a meat grinder like that? If he continues to improve Burnley and make them into a stable top half team, without doubt the offers will come in. All this 'an offer like the Everton job might not happen again' is complete bolloxs as SD is destined for a very top job and he has no need to risk it at a club like Everton who are facing a season long relegation battle.

"It's incredible the tune has managed to get out of a team of yard dogs.
If he was called Sebastian Dychio and looked like Peter Andre in his mysterious girl years, you'd all be gagging for a bit of him."

7th in the Premier League is impressive but, is that as good as it gets? The only way is DOWN. For Everton, the only way is UP

Personally, I don't want him to go and don't believe that he should go but, I will shake his hand and say "Thanks Sean. You'll always be a Clarets Legend"

Re: Everton move for Dyche
Don't know what you mean by that mate but if you think it is far fetched (and of course it may well be) think on this; years ago before the PL came into existence, at the time when it was in the planning stage, the idea was originally put forward that the new league would be a closed shop, with only clubs of a certain size (crowd, ground etc.) to be allowed in, with no relegation or promotion as such. Of course Sky were not involved at that point (don't think they even existed as such) but the FA wanted it that way (or at least some of the decision makers did). Of course it never came to be, thankfully, but you can see the thinking behind the whole PL idea. Now Sky do not sponsor the PL to the amount they do out of the goodness of their hearts, they do it for financial gain. Advertising revenue is one source but so is the sale of games internationally. It doesn't take a genius to see that, for example, Burnley v Watford is not the same draw globally as a game involving the big clubs, particularly the big 6.Dyched wrote:Foookin Hell
When viewed from this perspective it is not beyond the realms of possibility that Sky and/or the FA don't want teams like Burnley in the PL. It's not just Burnley of course, add Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Brighton and even Stoke to the list. When you think of football and Sky do not see it as some kind of sporting love affair, it isn't, it is a business relationship only, nothing more and anything that doesn't bring in the money as they would like is not really wanted by them. Whatever you think of the 'conspiracy theory' type thinking behind this just remember that if you were running a business you would also want to cut out that which is least profitable, it stands to reason economically.

There are really two points here:Rick_Muller wrote:happy to share my views on 9/11 and the moon landings, but not on this thread. I see you have resorted to insults which indicates that you have lost the argument already. In this modern world where the media are as influential as they are (dare I mention Russians and Trump...?) what I am alluding to is not that fetched at all. Remember the old saying from the song "money makes the world go round..." - Sky are an organisation who's purpose is to make money, if that means they can use one of their products to influence another they will - why is my inference of this "pathetic" is my question to you?
1. You think sky are this conniving and coordinated. I'm sure they would be flattered to hear this. Having worked for large organisations I can tell you it's often shocking how uncoordinated they actually are on a day to day basis. I highly doubt the pundits have been forced to say these things to fit such an agenda.
2. Assuming 1 is correct, you assume that Burnley doing well is BAD for the league. Wouldn't a financial minnow and huge underdog punching well above its weight be great for the league and viewership? How does sky benefit from the big teams doing well and the small teams doing poorly, specifically?
