Burnley Sack Sean Dyche

[The_Don_ORiordan]

Looks like they made the right decision. I don’t think anyone on here thought it would mean them staying up…..

Looks like collectively we know **** all about Burnley FC As I said earlier I thought the action was correct , the timing wasn't.

If this saves them, masterstroke

The Premier League is played over 38 games and the side getting Burnley out of trouble is - without question - the one Sean Dyche built. Moreover, it's the one that has pulled off similar survival acts before.

I'm sure the owners of Burnley will spin recent results to be some sort of vindication for their decision, but in my book it's still treachery of the highest order, and the true long-term test of their 'wisdom' will be next season, whichever division that may be in.

Dyche would have kept them up. They were unlucky at Norwich prior to his sacking. They then had/have a easyish final few games, plus he had a team that fights for one another on the pitch & a had a manager that had passion on the side.
Manure #new manager syndrome worked wonders lol

They don't have to apply any spin at all, they will just quote the change in results.

The side that appears has got them out of trouble is indeed a Sean Dyche side true, the same Sean Dyche side that won just 4 out of 30 league games this season. That is unacceptable for any club and any level. Hard to call that a premature sacking after 30 games lol.

We can be kind and spin it and assume Sean Dyche would have kept them up now he's gone but that's a stretch IMO. Possible of course but far from likely.

The fact is the only thing that has changed was the manager and results have been a sharp contrast ever since. That tells me quite clearly that the squad needed a new face and voice in the dressing room giving them instructions.

Yes it could be a short term improvement only and next season could be a disaster but the owners made the decision to improve their chances of staying up this season as their premier league status looked precarious at best, doomed at worst. The owners made the decision and it's worked, it's very hard to argue otherwise.

So Burnley go down after all, but without the manager best equipped to bring them back.

I haven't watched much PL since lockdown but I did watch Man City today and that was a thrilling afternoon.

I don't know the in's and out's of Burnley's ownership model but I've heard a few people say they deserve to go down for how they have been operating. Weirdly, we once had a Burnley fan on here giving it the Billy big time on steroids when we were having major problems with the Munto situation and they were seemingly consolidating in the PL, basically saying we'd never be as great as Burnley and that they were now on a par with Man utd and Liverpool. One of our lot said something about his childhood and an uncle and he got super defensive about it. One of the weirdest exchanges I've seen on here. Hopefully he's suffering right now, that type of supporter who punches down that far are the worst, especially for no reason. What history do we have with Burnley? We've barely played them in half a century or more.

If Dyche wasn't sacked when he was and they still got relegated, do you still think the Burnley board would have kept him on to see if they could bounce straight back?

It's a hypothetical question obviously but I don't think so.

I commented previously I thought it was very short sighted. The only way I can see it made sense is if Dyche and the board had already decided he would leave in the summer at which point worth rolling the dyche (sorry couldn’t resist).

They did the last time they got relegated from the PL, admittedly under different owner.
New manager bounce didn't do them any good. Dyche would have won them games as well
