But she owns the club doesn't she?!!

Sorry I'll get me coat!

This board will be torn in half when we play Norwich if he did get that job between the Burnley fans and the Dyche fans.

Yeah I could see him doing a few hours a week at Norwich. Cash in hand.

I liked Dyche, I felt he should either have been given the chance till the end of the season or sacked 3 months earlier (If rumours are true and he did some of the things that are being said, then he is not the bloke I thought he was) and if he got the job at Norwich he would be the opposition (aka enemy) so would be treated as such from me.

Dyche for West Ham...

I think lowbank is on a mission to rival ppp as the biggest bullshitter on here.

Mike Bassett back to norwich

Impossible task

It would cost Norwich a small fortune to sack Smith and employ Dyche, they should have potted Smith and got Critchley in when he was available

There’s already been a post on this from Saturday.

Dyches hubris wouldn’t allow him to take the Norwich job anyway. He thinks he’s better than that..


Where as back in reality no one in the EPL wants Dyche or his antique hoofball

And really no one wants to read the cr@p you post.

Northampton is one of the few places from which Norwich isn't too bad a drive.

It’s actually a horrid drive if there’s any kind of traffic or bad weather

Imagine Gibson if Dyche got the Norwich gig

I think I said on another thread, a friend in the RAF in N Yorkshire said he could get to Ascension Island quicker than he could get to Norwich.

Surely any true Burnley fan will support the club over Dyche, however great he did for us we've now moved on with Kompany at the helm.

And no doubt in a few years Kompany will also move on, probably to a bigger fish, and we'll have to replace him as well.

Regarding the Norwich gig I can't see them being interested in SD, but I could be completely wrong in my assessment.

I'd be surprised if any team currently in the Prem would be interested.

Norwich play Reading on Friday, then Watford on Monday both at home. Would imagine they’ll see how they go before making a call. Reality is that they’re still 5th and I’m not sure who is available that has much better pedigree than Smith?

Go behind or start poorly and the atmosphere at both could be be pretty grim though.

They then have a 12 day break between Champ games though, with the FA cup in between which I assume they’d happily write off in the scheme of things. That would be the better time to make a swap if that’s what they’re planning.

No it seems no Prem teams are interested, and even Championship interest in Sean is lukewarm at best.

Style of play could be a stumbling block for hiring Dyche rightly or wrongly, but most clubs now want younger progressive coaches, just look at how Steve Bruce bombed at West Brom compared to how they are flying under their new manager, Boro also chopped Wilder for Carrick and are equally reaping the rewards.

Please, some chairman or other, give the bloke a job.

More Dyche threads on here than Burnley ones.

Question is, what do Norwich actually want to achieve?

All they ever do, after getting promoted, is to get relegated the following season.

All well and good trying to play good football but it just leads to constant humiliation once in the Premier league.

Getting promoted is an achievement in itself regardless of what happens the following season.

I agree, that's why I'll always want a mixture of good football mixed in with the ability to grind out results at times.

I have never had an issue with Norwich, never have, in fact I quite like them, however I have got a bit sick to death this season of the constant media hype about how good they are and their pre season promotion favourite credentials. They are very average and in no way shape or form do they look like promotion contenders but if you read a lot of the media hype you would think they should be twenty points clear at the top. Just for this season I would be happy to see them sink like a stone.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. VK is different gravy to the likes of Farke. He has some serious connections at a very high level and has spent a long time playing under an elite coach.

Having done both of those trips, I can assure you it’s a close run thing. Not true mind, but still a good story!

Agreed.

Assuming they can afford to sack him, Dean Smith will be gone soon.

With the squad they have on paper, they should be up there with Sheffield United and ourselves.

Absolutely.
And to talk of any Burnley fan preferring a Dyche side to beat our current one is just idiotic.
Dyche did well under his circumstances and fans rightly praise him for doing as well as he did for as long as he did.
His time ran out and our new era has begun spectacularly well. That's about all there is to it, really.

Wait for Everton.

Dyche to Everton?

Being reported that Dean Smith has indeed been sacked by Norwich.

What will worry SD about Norwich is that they are not forgiving. If he goes on one of those winless runs, followed by a spree of good results and points, like he did with us, he would be sacked before the good run started. No way will Delia give him the amount of time and loyalty that Garlick did

Smith defo gone

Yep, even been on BBC website now. Gone along with Shakespeare (assistant) and Bramley (1st team coach).

Dyche early favourite, though at 4/1 currently.

After declaring his interest in premier league jobs and stating he deserves a crack at one, do you think Dyche has it in him to swallow his pride and take a championship job?
I don't.
