Leicester want Sean !!

[sinkov]

It doesn't matter who we have behind the scenes BT, they won't be running the football side of it and that's what keeps us in this division. It doesn't matter how well organised they are, if the manager who isn't the equal of Dyche isn't out there they can't appoint him. The only one I see is Allardyce, and there's no guarantee he'd be interested, or even available when we need him.

I agree that Sean's achievements exceed Harry's, no disrespect to Harry, but he took over a team that only had to be lifted half a dozen places to win the League, it wasn't a massive leap forward. On the other hand Sean has done something that most would have thought impossible.

I do agree with you though that Sean will be staying put. He's put five years hard work into BFC and he's just starting to see the fruits of his labours, why would he want to start all over again somewhere else ? He has job security, or as near to it as he's ever going to get in football, a sound relationship with the board, almost hero worship from the fans, respect from the media and everyone involved in the game, a team on the improve and money to spend. For a football manager life doesn't get much better than Sean has it right now at BFC, and like you BT, I'm sure Sean has the good sense to know this and act accordingly.

On the Everton job, I'm sure he would have been watching Keane getting ripped up for arse paper playing for Everton last night, and contemplating the risks involved in moving from little old Burnley to a much 'bigger' club. Who currently sleeps best at night, Dyche and Tarko or Keane and Koeman ? As the glorious Mrs Thatcher used to say,

'Better keep a hold of nurse, for fear of finding something worse'.

I'm sure Sean will see it that way as well.

Perhaps we need to be creative and offer him a bonus of say 20% of the league place bonus at the end of the season.
At 400k a place he could do very nicely. He has to stay to May to get it though.
Something like that would kill off mid season approaches.

If Ally Campbell has put his spin on it- then we know for sure what we already know- SD is not going to Leicester

Why should, or indeed would we be foolish enough to lose Sean Dyche just for the cost of employing him? If he wanted to move elsewhere for a new challenge, or bigger/higher profile club then fair enough, good luck to the bloke but it would be ludicrous to lose our best Manager in forty-odd years (perhaps ever?) just for a few quid in salary and bonuses.
Back in the days when I worked for a living I managed construction projects, my speciality became turning around ones that were going to rat**** and a regular point of contention was my often poaching/bringing in new Site Managers, by paying them two, three, even five grand a year over and above the going rate/company pay grade for the job; my argument was invariably that those lads were a bargain and only neded to finish the project one week earlier or make just one less cock-up during the course of a year to cover the additional wage bill. I'd apply that same logic to retaining Sean Dyche:
I've no hard figures, but I get the impression that the club's top-earning players are perhaps pulling down £40-£50k a week? Even amongst the smaller budget clubs, we're perhaps the only one in the EPL without at least one or two players earning substantially more than that and virtually all of those clubs are currently below us in the table; so why should Leicester reputedly offering £2-2.5 million a year in wages be a threat to us? We allow Dyche leave because he's too expensive, then employ A N Other to replace him for only £1 million a year, but come January this new manager insists that we need to spend £60-80 million quid on two or three £75-£80,000 a week players just to keep us in the EPL; giving SD an extra £2 million a year to stay would then look like small change.

The way of the world is that football players generally earn far more than football managers, but can you think of a single Burnley player whose continued presence at the club you consider to be more ***** to our EPL success than Sean Dyche's? As an added bonus, you're not even setting a precedent, we've only one Manager on the books, so unlike paying a player what might be considered 'over the odds' to come/stay, you're not risking a subsequent chain reaction of every other player on the squad saying: "Hang on, if you're paying him that much, then I want..."

Damn, you beat me too it.

If the Leicester job doesn’t pan out, the Everton gig may be up for grabs shortly considering the Everton board recently gave Koeman the dreaded ‘stamp of approval’.

After today’s clueless effort, Koeman looked like he knew he was off, so maybe we have now to worry about Everton. Maybe it’s just as well we didn’t beat City or Sean’s stock would have been sky high. With Appleton winning maybe they will calm down and see what happens!

I could envisage Everton and Dyche being a perfect fit.

A worrying week ahead methinks!

he wont go to everton-

he wont go to everton-

I have a sneaky feeling he will.

Oh hello,come on then what have you heard? Spill the beans or stop being so Phookin mellow dramatic TEC

[exilecanada]

I have a sneaky feeling he will.

I have to agree with Everton being a decent fit for Dyche. Their squad includes the type of players Dyche could mould into an upper end club, no ‘prima donnas’ worth mentioning………….Rooney excluded but he’s way past his ‘best before’ date.
