Dyche - HE'S GONE

[NickNack]

Would love Carsley but can’t see it happening

[Juanito]

I would want McKenna and to bring Davis with him.

[Cozzie]

Carsley

Gravesen as his assistant? Im in.

All joked aside I do believe he will make a good manager Carsley.

[The Doc]

Carsley will probably do well with England and be offered a contract, so don't think there's a chance.

Potter has a point to prove, might be worth a go.

[kramer]

Not sure the new owners are patient enough but I’d love to be a part of a Potter reclamation.

Managers tend to have a limited lifespan in the modern game. The key is hiring managers to coach the players you (mostly) already have and keeping recruitment policy consistent also you’re not making huge expenditures on different types of players every couple of years.

[AjaxAndy]

We will have money though.

At least more than we have now and hopefully a proper football structure in place.

But we will also only have I think 13 players which means any money we do have will be stretched very thinly. We'll be cutting our cloth accordingly so I don't expect some amazing transformation of the squad (in terms of quality).

It'd be good to know how we look for the past 2 seasons with PSR... Do we have any wiggle room to spend a large amount and then be more frugal the following 2? I'm guessing probably not.

Most likely we sell Branthwaite meaning we have whatever he brings + whatever we can afford within PSR. Probably £100m.to buy or loan 10-12 players. It's quite frightening and not an ideal situation for someone to come in and rebuild with.

We’re selling a stadium for redevelopment, we could rack up a nice chunk of cash… maybe if EitC got a anonymous donation of £400m to buy it…

[Bob Sacamano]

Hasn’t it already been established that we’re looking decent for next year and back in the game in 18 months?

[AjaxAndy]

In the Thelwell interview he alluded to the fact we won't fall foul of PSR hopefully in the next 12 months, but it'll be 18 months before we're fully clear.

To me that suggests we're only just under it for the next year, after that we'll have to still spend wisely but with less pressure and juggling everything to stay under.

[777Kidnappings]

No real clue but I don't see us having significant money to spend in the next 2 or 3 windows. Think we'd be playing a dangerous game trying someone like Potter with this squad and limited funds especially as our scouting is shite too

Potter has a reputation as a purveyor of a possession-based game from his Brighton spell but he’s well capable of being a bit more pragmatic.

His initial success at Ostersund was driven by a much more defensive, counterattacking approach and they were able to mix it up in the Europa League with a much worse squad than the poorest Premier League teams.

I think he’s a good teacher first and foremost. Don’t see him as so big of a risk, certainly not any more so than any of the other names that’ll be in the mix. If there’s a risk with him, it’s putting him in a dressing room with established players who don’t want or need the schoolteacher approach. This is not that kind of situation. We’re lacking a bit in talent but the players are largely pros who appear willing to adapt to new ideas.

[superpull]

We'll have £60-70m minus a Branthwaite replacement to spend, at very least

[TheRam]

I don’t see potter as a risk.

He took over a very dyche like side at Brighton and kicked them on.

I’d like to think over the coming months the new owners will get to work in putting in the right structure for a manager like potter to be able to succeed.

And we will have money to spend. A lot of the debt will be cleared and having an actual owner with his own actual money to put into the club will make a massive difference.

At the very least we’ll be able to spend the branthwaite money instead of using it to keep the club afloat.

We’re not going to do a Man City but in terms of where we’ve been the last few years the new owners are a game changer.

Dyche isn’t the man for the rebuild.

Where is this from though? Thelwell said we have another 12 months of having to balance PSR so it didn't sound like this was anywhere near what you've said above.

I haven't seen any figures though for the past 2 years so no idea where we're at over a 3 year period

You've misunderstood.

We will sell Branthwaite and have that money to spend.

Even with a balanced books and no PSR worries - we are still a sell-to-buy club for a while longer (until we wipe out our debt and increase our revenue, which doesn't sound like it will be too far away)
