Good article, it bucks the trend of singing Dyche's praises and it does seem to accurately sum up what has happened form wise. Must have some insider info to write that.Quote:

Not bad, but I presume that DM hack thinks if Sean hadn't lost the dressing room we'd have finished in a Champions League place.
Nice to hear from you mon ami! B)Quote:

It'a bizarre time to sack Dyche with only eight games to go.
Results have been horrible, the twin catastrophic (and inept) losses at Brentford and Norwich have cooked our goose and Dyche's refusal to change from 4-4-2 to anything else has probably sealed his fate.
I refuse to believe that we do not have the calibre of players to have stayed in the EPL, perhaps Dyche really has "lost the dressing room?"
I have already despatched one of the fleet to Cheltenham, I expect to pick up a fare at Duffer's house pdq.

I do hope your taxi returns empty BT. I can still remember the nightmare time we recruited an ex-player (Brian Laws) as our manger.Quote:

Then have a clear out of the deadwood in the summer.
This article sums up the case for dismissing Dyche pretty well I think...

Does it ? I'm not sure it does. The sub heading sums it up well enough,Quote:

A fair and precise summary, we are in this situation because every other club spent more on evolving their squads than Burnley did. How was this the fault of Sean Dyche ? Money has poured into the club over the last 6/7 years, all thanks to Dyche's coaching ability, our friend Alan Nixon famously said a few years back, 'Burnley have money coming out of their ears', we were reported as being one of the top 50 wealthiest clubs in Europe. But very little of that money, generated by Dyche, went on evolving the squad. Dyche had no control, or say, in how money was spent, or not spent, he was not in control of the finances, to justify him being sacked for matters over which he had no control and for which he was not responsible, is perverse.
What we don't know is would Dyche have changed his playing style if he'd had the money to spend on players he wanted. When he gets his next club it will be interesting to see how he progresses, will it be 4-4-2 Dycheball or flexible free flowing footie with the right players?
