Re: Next Manager if SD Goes

Post by Newcastleclaret93 » Fri Jun 02, 2017 7:48 pm

a left field manager could be the hoffenheim boss. Looks like he could be a future great.
If we want a short term fit I believe he would keep us in the league for a season or two then move on.

Guess it all depends on whether he thinks he can do better than Palace.

I expect that he will think he can do better than Palace but not at this moment in time.

It's the next rung up the ladder for him rather than five up too early.

I still think that it would all end in tears if he went to Palace.

We move on with or without Dyche, no 1 man is bigger than the club. If he wants gone, get him gone asap. He will realise the grass is rarely greener like all the players who have left us over the past 15 years, Trippier the only one who has really gone onto better things.

Coyle left for a club that had more money to spend, a better squad and who he thought was 10 years ahead of Burnley. Dyche going to Palace would be similar. It could work out really well for him, but could also go horribly wrong. He has the backing of the board and fans at Burnley, who would be willing to cut him more slack than Palace if performances slip. I'm not sure Palace is a big enough step forward to warrant the risk and, despite their superior squad, they only just finished above us and were the only team we beat home and away all season. This was despite having two managers with much more top flight experience than Dyche.

So you weren't being daft then?

Dyche would have to lie through his teeth for the next two months and tell everyone what sort of man he would be if he sells the club to new players if he jumped ship at the first opportunity...........

Then at the beginning of August get Ian Woan to come out and tell us how Dyche has gone back home to see his mother, then a few days later end up at Palace..............

For it to be anything like as similar.

Should he depart my bigger concern would be which players would also be following him, Mee, Ward, and Gray, possibly,---- not to mention his backroom team.
Clubs in the lower half of the Prem do try to weaken their competitors/ rivals to give them an advantage. The Board need to be going all out to retain his services and retain stability within the squad by committing resources at a level not previously seen by BFC. 15 of the current PL teams ,including Palace, have an annual wage bill of a minimum of £80m rising to £265m. If we want to be seriously competitive in the PL, this is the level of investment we need to be considering. Since our first excursion into the PL some eight seasons ago the club's combined turnover is approximately £370m of which SD's time as manager has contributed approximately £265m or 70%, a magnificent achievement. It is time to become more competitive like the Stoke's and West Brom's of the League who also had a stuttering start to the PL like ourselves.

I get arguments on both sides. For me Dyche is the best manager I have seen at the helm and want him to stay, that's my heart ruling. Dyche's career is at a tipping point and he should be allowed and be daft not to move on to bigger and better things, as I genuinely feel he will have a part to play in the England set up 1 day, may not be manager but a part of the set up. That is my brain ruling. Either way I would like it done quickly so we can look on to next season.

I'm a tad surprised that Palace are suddenly seen as such a step up. If it were an Everton, Southampton or similar then maybe, but aside from a year or two more in this league and deeper pockets, there isn't a world of difference between us and them.

Why can we not aspire to be at least of the level that they aspire to!?

You've answered the step up bit with 'deeper pockets'.

That's how the game is and that's the only reason that it's a step up.

I still am unconvinced Dyche is leaving, but if he did go tomorrow I think the need to hit the ground running and "get" the current team demands a manager who has managed in the premier league before and is British. Which probably rules our Wagner although otherwise he's an obvious candidate.

Assuming Chris Hughton and Brendan Rodgers are unavailable, then Monk, Moyes and (hold your nose) Lambert, provided Lowton and Westwood still hold him in sufficiently high regard. British managers who have managed in the Premier League and are actually available doesn't make for a big field. The final name - that i really wouldnt reject out if hand - is Michael Duff, but perhaps it is a year or two too early.

One quote from Steve Parish I found interesting is
"We have got a personnel and a way of playing. It has served us well. Do we try and change that again? That will inform probably where we go on the list of managers."
Given that Palace play with a 4-3-3 I can't see Dyche being top of their list from a tactical perspective, given his passion for his rigid 4-4-2. Would Benteke be able to play a high pressing game? Townsend and Zaha being instructed to track back more?

sorry but definately no, he's just a favoured ex claret with the fans, we need a top notch replacement so we can continue at this level.

Palace don't play any formation, ex managers of theirs have played the formations.

They currently don't have a manager, so it's a blank canvas.

You hear the well if he goes he goes then you look at the frightening names to replace him! Part of me is hoping Dyche is using this to increase his summer spending with us. When he does leave I would be expecting a bigger club than Palace.

Because he's going to inherit and have to work with a squad based on its Britishness (and irishness). Thats the character of the team and we need a manager who can work with it.

As for Duff, the biggest single quality a new manager must have - if we need one - is the ability to command the respect of the squad and work with the basic parameters thst Dyche has established. Duff, from what i understand, ticks all of those boxes. Its not the fact that he played for us per se that makes him an option, its the continuity and leadership he might offer as an inside candidate that does - provided that it is the case (as i believe it is) that Dyche is seen within the game and club as future managerial material.

Has a similar win ratio compared to Dyche. Been told he has no transfer kitty. Left Hull because of lack of support from the owners.

Seems to be able to work with both British and international players..

If he were interested, Bruce would be an excellent candidate. But he has a very decent job already at Villa.

I think the crucial thing would rest on the appointees ability to speak fluent English. If so I wouldn't rule out a foreign manager, in fact it may well assist in progressing our club.

I think there's more to it than that. Its about cultural cohesion. There's a danger a manager from a different football culture would be an outsider with the squad and that can't be a good thing. We need to become more internationalist, but thats a gradual process and the current squad is very British. The new manager therefore must be slipped with this - if we need one.
