someone will correct me if I'm wrong but in various interviews I'm sure Dyche alluded to the previous owner/board thinking that overseas players were too much of a riskGoliath wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 1:40 pmI do wonder why Dyche in conjuction with the old board found it so difficult to set up an overseas recruitment network.
Matt Williams talks about scouring leagues all over the world there, in 10 years under Dyche we were never able to acheve that, what was stopping us?
Maybe Dyche wanted tried and tested. Players from other leagues that aren't playing at the top level are a big risk.Goliath wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 1:40 pmI do wonder why Dyche in conjuction with the old board found it so difficult to set up an overseas recruitment network.

Quite sure that SD wanted tried and tested British players who suited his system at the timeGoliath wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 1:40 pmI do wonder why Dyche in conjuction with the old board found it so difficult to set up an overseas recruitment network.

Not sure about that. He said time and time again that he wanted to shop abroad but we didnt 'yet' have the infrastructure. Clearly it wasnt as difficult to set up as we were making outBelgianclaret wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 2:11 pmQuite sure that SD wanted tried and tested British players who suited his system at the time
I am sure now having a predominantly non british coaching team helped greatly with such a change
I know for a fact that under dyche Burnley employed several European scouts and no doubt many hundreds of reports were put on the system for dyche to oversee, but as someone else mentioned dyche was very unsure of foreign players and steered clear of them.Goliath wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 1:40 pmI do wonder why Dyche in conjuction with the old board found it so difficult to set up an overseas recruitment network.

Shame about Assengnon, I thought he had a good game today and looks a good ‘un.claretandy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 1:38 pmEsteve permanent regardless of what division we are in, Assengnon only if we stop up.
Interesting, he did used to shift the blame to the boardBlondeclaret wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 5:21 pmI know for a fact that under dyche Burnley employed several European scouts and no doubt many hundreds of reports were put on the system for dyche to oversee, but as someone else mentioned dyche was very unsure of foreign players and steered clear of them.
