Can we not slag Dyche off please. What he has done for this club has been remarkable. God knows where we would have been without him.

It does appear that it was the right time for him to move on, but that doesn't diminish all his achievements.

I'm not enjoying seeing people giving him grief on here, it's totally unjustified and shows a total lack of class.

Thanks to Sean and his team for everything and here's to another successful 10 years under new management...

Oh bore off will you…

He’s done, he’s gone. We have seen over the last three games just how restrictive and limiting his tactics were, and we are now seeing something different. He was good for a time, but that time is gone.

Thanks and all that, but we were doomed with him in charge, and now we aren’t.

Some people need to let go of the past.

For many on here ‘class’ is just the thing they skipped at school.

Whilst I agree with the sentiment (there is a massive lack of class from some posters) did we really need to reopen the debate again?

Can we merge this with one-off the other dychein/out/tha ks threads?

And just to think it all all started with Steve Cotterill

Don't think there's a problem with people pointing out how well we've played and how much happier the players look since he's gone.

Nobody who is a genuine Claret will ever have a bad word to say against Dyche, however we did need a fresh voice and ideas

Absolutely. Mention it tho and you lack class…

Hopefully those devout Dyche fetishists can follow him to his next club and leave Burnley F.C for the real supporters of the CLUB.

Who?

If you genuinely think that is what those posters are doing, then who am I to deprive you of your illusions?

They have been anti-Dyche for years, and whenever Dyche wins, its nothing to do with him, and whenever Dyche loses, its 100% his fault

All I know is that he was absolutely brilliant for us, but he's gone and we've given ourselves a real chance because we look like a proper team again

That proper team framework is there because of one man, and we all know who that is

But even if its short term, the bounce from him going and the tweaks to the tacitical framework and an innovative use of subs have made a huge difference

As I said on a deleted post, every single Burnley fan should be over the moon tonight because we've given ourselves a real chance, and that is all that matters

I'm not posting anything about either the outgoing manager and staff or the interim manager, or any comparison (favourable or not) between the two.
But I don't see why anyone who feels the need to should be shouted down.

They can say what they like, but it will get pointed out what it is they are doing

Free speech and expression and all that right?

Agreed

Actually you are pointing out what you think they are doing, but you "crack on" as you put it.

Oh come on everyone LEAVE IIIIIITTT. We’ve all had a drink! Absolutely fair play to Sean Dyche and his staff for the last10 yrs. BUT, all good things come to a natural end, and, after a parting of the ways, we have now given ourselves a chance to stay up. The players obviously are the ones who deserve the most credit, but they’ve been given this chance by an about turn of the negative tactics we’ve seen for most of the season, so fair play to Mike Jackson and his staff, who obviously have seen something in our squad that Sean Dyche didn’t/couldn’t, or wasn’t prepared to try. UTC.

For all the abuse posters got on here for suggesting Dyche out this season, turns out those posters were correct, they deserve a little ''told you so'' moment for the abuse received.

I wasn't one of the Dyche out this season but I allowed people to have their opinion without being abusive towards them.

Your posts are uncharacteristically aggressive this evening... "old chap"?

Let’s have it right. Some of the backlash towards pace has been nothing short of disgraceful, and had we lost all 3 of those games, the fans would have been worse including on here. Now it appears they may be proven wrong, they want to spin it as though it’s Dyche who is being slagged off when in reality it’s the posters. Anyway, onwards and upwards you can see how much the players are enjoying themselves more. Dyche was great for us, and will rightly be remembered as a legend but thank god we have a proactive board willing to make the big calls.

Up the clarets

He's always been a sensitive soul, be careful or you will end up on the block list and accused of trolling him and his feelings.

Let’s form an opinion either way once the season is over. Hopefully we will have survived but we’re not there yet, fingers crossed for the next game and another three points.

Well, I don't think I've slagged off Pace at all on here

I think he's gambled and it looks good so far

I'm happy enough with that!

How strange has this board gone? Thought we all supported the same club yet it’s all about childish ways to argue after a win…

I’m out

Fair enough LC. It wasn’t aimed at anyone directly. But a lot went way OTT.

There’s no doubt that there’s been a bounce since Dyche left and we have been much better to watch. After Norwich I thought we were done for.
However, the level of disrespect for one of the best managers we’ve ever had is astounding. People have very short memories. We’re going to go down at some point because we’re Burnley. If it’s not this season then that’s great.
Time to move on now and I desperately hope this board is as successful in hiring a manager as the last one was.

Totally agree with not slating Sean on here who will have legendary status.

If we go down I do view him as responsible due to stifling tactics not getting the best out of the players, however in previous seasons those have worked so on balance he should get praise (lots of it) not criticism. It’ll be one of those things if we drop. A get out of jail free card if we don’t (allowing Sean to really cement that legend status so I hope it for him as well as us).

Talking of internet trolls, right now you are in the number 1 position.

People have different opinions to yourself you know, and they aren’t alway mischievous either.

We won, our form has taken a dramatic uplift, we are playing the best football we have seen us play in years, so why the need to abuse posters on here acting like an emotional baby.

While I am beyond delighted with the results under our excellent interim manager, and wholeheartedly support him and the team - I still think it was a bad decision to sack Sean Dyche with no apparent plan for a replacement. Seems to me that Mr Pace was wrong, and reckless, to rely on serendipity.

As I see it, the new manager appointment might depend on our status next season.
Perfectly understandable that there is no specific plan in place.

We were going down without a whimper under Dyche. Pace had nothing to lose in my eyes (apart from the compensation). And at this moment in time, it looks to be paying off. I hope I'm saying this post Newcastle game.

It’s a stark contrasting sudden change of opinion from “pace had nothing to lose” from the man heralded spearheading the promotion charge from the championship with all the proven credentials cited as the reason for not dismissing. It’s good the forms changed but it can change just as quickly back, I think far too many people are running ahead.

Couple of decent games and you crawl out into the sunshine. Wasnt too long ago you were bemoaning the players as useless, as were many on here. But suddenly they are world class !!
do us all a favour and shut up.

I keep seeing "Dyche deserves the chance to bring us back up"

Might not be needed if we manage to stay up this season. Dyche wouldn't have saved us. Long long way to go but looking to be the right decision so far. And on a personal basis for me, I've really looked forward to the last 3 games which is something that hasn't been the case for me for a long long time under the previous regime. I'm really glad to have that fire and passion back which frustratingly I'd been lacking.

Hi Wile E,

He's not wrong though is he. Dyche was great for us for a number of seasons but it was right time to part ways. Regardless of how the last 3 games ended up, his time was up. Change was needed and you can see it was the right decision based on performance and player happiness. They look a different team and far happier. Long may it continue. Thanks Sean, you have been great and good luck in the future.

See Dyche

See Marmite

Let's move on

Of course people will express differing points of views, and it's all well and good, but the problem is when this spills over to persistent trolling. I've seen many a good forum become stale and moribund when this happens. The more interesting user base stop posting, and you get left with the dregs.

There are a handful of people on here who are currently getting their needy kicks from baiting their fellow fans as 'Dyche lovers'. It's all a bit sad, especially when we are talking about adults on a message board.
