You're the chairman of BFC. You've just been relegated from the prem. Your gamble in sacking Dyche has ultimately failed. You're in need of a total squad rebuild. Parachute payments are going to be wiped out by debt repayments. You're looking around at managers with experience, with success in the championship. Sean Dyche is just sitting in the pub doing nowt. Ignore for a second the fact he has every right to tell us where to shove it...if you were the chairman, would you grovel to him, give him veto power over transfers and try to tempt him back?

no

No.

Yes, but there’s not a cat in hell’s chance of it happening.

Just to pre-empt a few replies, even though this is all hypothetical, I don't find "move on" to be a particularly convincing argument against it.

No

**** NO

No no no no no

Absolutely not.

No.
I wouldn't have given him his most recent contract either.

No. He needed to go and we needed a change but just not at the time it happened.

No

Depends totally on what the players who will still be here next year would say. Barring a problem with them, yes.

Sacking Dyche wasn’t the gamble that didn’t work, keeping him as long as we did was the gamble that didn’t work

No thanks. Some great years and I fully supported him until the end but I just couldn’t bare the football towards the end.

No I don't think so. He's done his time with us
and will be remembered as one of our best managers.

It will be interesting to see where her goes next and how
well he does with a new team/club.

As much I think we shouldn't have potted him I really don't think going back is a good thing to do. Sometimes it works but often it doesn't. We've made our bed now so we need to make sure our new appointment is a good one.

Yes.

No, he should have been moved on sooner.

Still think the timing was strange and the only occasions when I thought he could have gone were after the defeats at Leeds and Brentford. I thought he did a wonderful job for us but his time was at an end and we need to move on from him.

Tony are you aware of any non-result issues linked to his departure?

No way he would want to come back with Pace there

No.

No

This is where I'm at. It's the scale of the exodus that got me thinking this. He wasn't getting a tune out of these players by the end, no doubt, and ultimately that's on the manager. But so many of those players will be leaving. And maybe when all is said and done we just had too many $hit players at once; our ability to compete in the market at PL level inevitably exhausted. With fresh faces everywhere, in a league where we're theoretically far more competitive in the transfer market? It won't happen, but I'd have him back.

No, neigh never.

I’d rather have Coyle back before Shyawn

Absolutely not, He’d extend the contacts of Lennon, Barnes, Long et al. We need not revolution now not creaky knees evolution. The dinosaur is long gone. Let it be,

Sadly, no. Though it wouldn’t at all surprise me to see us looking on enviously next season as he takes a team up from the Championship.

It’s time to move on for both us and him.

No.

He's gone for a reason.

At least you are consistent Skipton - you criticised his appointment and never changed your view on him.

Wouldn't expect you to but I do remain amazed that you were still anti him being our manager when we were getting top half finishes in the Premier League.

What is his legacy ? Most of the squad are over 30. It’s a complete re-building job now.

It is, but what he's achieved has been so good I doubt any of us could have ever imagined it could happen.

Absolutely not.

He won’t. He’s the latest Aidy Boothroyd. Move on ! It’s like the sad fecks calling for a contract extension for ‘Ash” etc. Longy could do a job next season, yeah ?

No one could deny it was effective but for the majority of the time it was an awful watch.. Anyway, it’s gone - we move on, Just hope we can rebuild, trust a bit in youth, different formations etc.

No, we need the Sean Dyche of 2012 or even the Owen Coyle of 2007 but even had Dyche not left when he did then this summer was the right time to make a change.

It's like the U2 song with or without you.
We have to move on.

You’ll note that I said “no”, so there’s no need to “move on”.

Bracketing him as an Aidy Boothroyd, after what he has achieved and given us over almost ten years, give over.

I’ve not been a fan of some of the football over recent years and certainly felt that there have been mistakes, but to be so belittling of what we’ve had is pretty poor.

No

Have to admit, the thought did cross my mind,,,,,

No hes basically got us relegated

No. We are going to experience a few seasons of transition now, hopefully under a progressive young manager. Dyche is not the answer. Will always owe him a debt of gratitude, however could not suffer any more of his attritional football. Would love Rooney to come and manage us but think he will stay loyal to Derby and repay the fans faith in him.

A definite no.

When we get over the relegation, get a new manager with new ideas, new young players coming in , we could be in for some fun times.
We have had it in the past and it can easily happen again.

No.

Young players ? Que ?

Absolutely not. Dyche brought great times to the club but one of the reasons our squad looks on his knees and in need of a total overhaul is him. Fresh start, fresh ideas.
