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.

Doesn't add up to me Chris, the players turned against Dyche after our Europa League exit ? The following season, once we had the Europa League monkey off our backs, and it's fecked up bigger clubs than us, we finished 10th with 54 points. 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!

God only knows what has really gone on in recent months for it to come to this.

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.

We need someone with a different approach but who will play to the skills of the players we have for the rest of this season. At the end of last season we had some games where we played decent football mainly due to injuries and Covid, and won some games by doing this.

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,

"Decade of Dyche eventually brought stasis as rivals evolved and spent more money on improving their squads"

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?
