Dyche - HE'S GONE

[Kerryblueboy]

Not everybody

[NickNack]

In the absence of a crystal ball I’ve no clue what Dyche could do next season, and agree that more often than not this kind of run gets a manager sacked. But one thing’s for sure - points deductions in either of the last 2 seasons gets us relegated.

Without them this season we’d already be pretty much safe. With them this season staying up is very much in our hands

Simplistic maybe but worth thinking about

[Paddockoldie]

I find it hilarious that some on here think no one would want dyche job it’s a premier league manager position loads of quality people would be interested ffs

With a poor squad and no money? Besides all the background stuff.... not many my friend

[superpull]

Already mentioned Dunc.
Reckon Rooney would be up for it as well.

If we prostrated ourselves we could possibly persuade Allardyce back.

Loads of managers out there lads.

I suppose my counter argument to that would be that we're comparing Dyche to one of the most toxic managers the club has ever had who was well over the hill, and one of the worst, least qualified managers ever to be in the Premier League. So saying that he's doing slightly better than Benitez and Lampard isn't a convincing argument.

We (and Dyche) are massively lucky that the teams below us this year have been so awful, that it's going to take a very low total to stay up.

He's doing a lot better than Lampard or Benitez tbf... They had better players and larger squad depth, and Dyche is still on for roughly a 40 points season where it not for the points deduction(s) and all the chaos that surrounds that impacting the team.

The winless run was bad and performances haven't been good for a while, but neither Lampard nor Benitez would have got us anywhere near 40 points with better players so think it's harsh on Dyche to say he's only doing slightly better.

Ok. He's doing better than both of them, whether I think it's slightly or you think it's more than slightly, but they are two of the most disastrous appointments we've ever made at the club, so the bar is the lowest it could be. It's not in any way a compliment to Dyche to say he's better than those two. That's all I'm saying.

No I agree, but they both would have relegated us and I think Dyche over a full season without dedications wouldn't and that's quite a big difference.

I know you dislike him as manager but fair fucks he's in a different league to Lampard or Benitez, even if it's still not a very good league.

Yeah, he's better than Lampard and Benitez. I will happily agree to that.

It's a bad mix.. a squad without much pace or talent, and a rigid percentages manager.

Hard to compare Dyche to any other Everton managers other than Benitez and Lampard, because the ones before had considerably better players to pick from.

It's also a huge hammer blow to have the points deductions hanging over the squad, it must be so difficult to manage.

Do I like the football? No its awful. Would a more progressive manager have us any higher? Maybe, but it comes with a higher risk in this league with a poor squad.

The thing for me was the poor run, I would have changed the manager if I could after the Bournemouth game. But hopefully we've turned a corner, because we haven't really got a choice but to buckle in and get behind them at the games.

If we survive, there's better managers out there, but if we keep him he needs some more pace in the squad. Which we'll buy with IOUs and John Lewis vouchers. It's all different shades of shit until we sort the ownership out and move grounds.

I'm not sure it is a bad mix. Lack of pace and creativity. I think the only way we can get the best out of this lot is to play the percentages

Would be on 35 points without the deduction.

Considering his MO is to stay in the premier league that’s a good amount to have at this stage.

If he can get around 45 without the deductions of course he’s done a good job this season.

This is where we are as a club. We just have to accept it unfortunately.

I don’t like what I’m watching as much as the next person but we are where we are.

[bigtonyblue]

reckon you could add another 6pts easy with confidence etc, done a fine job big davey dyche

[bigtonyblue]

and he'll be a hero when he costs the shite and the arse the league title with those 2 0-0 draws in the run in

Agree. You have to judge Dyche on points without any deductions and he has done ok. We would be safe already if it wasn’t for those and goodness knows what effect all of this nonsense has had on the performances of the squad.

The football is pretty awful but we are structured and the players seem to know what they are doing. But once we are in a better position financially and not getting point deductions left right and centre, Dyche will struggle to keep fans onside.
