He's won his first game at Everton. As did Lampard and I am sure Rafa won 4 from his first 5.

    Lets see
    Interesting comment about the bleep tests UG, it plays into the narrative that Dyche is all about effort, sweat on the shirt etc, and never mind about playing football. One of his mantras when he arrived at Burnley was 'minimum requirement is maximum effort' but are there any managers or coaches that don't require this ? There was an interview with Kieran Trippier a couple of months after his transfer to Spurs, he was asked what he had found different at Tottenham, his answer surprised me, it might surprise you as well, 'The training is harder at Tottenham'. Makes you think doesn't it ?

    Everyone sat around me last night were saying, "We'd had it", FA Cup "shock" imminent.

    I told them to shut up, I said in the last 20 minutes our superior fitness would see us through.

    Post-match our players always talk about our aggression, our superior fitness and their willingness to "take one for the team".

    Sound familiar?

    Trippier found him self at spurs where Pot was renowned for his hard training methods. However if you remember Trips also said that this wasn't the only thing to surprise him. He also says as a "manager" Poch was 'unbelievable', which also tells a story.

    I know you guys love Dyche for what he's done here, fair play. I understand you see my negativity towards him as a bit unjust. I can't help the way I feel.

    Would you have him back?

    I would never ever go back to Dyche. Not in a million years. No matter what the situation. A whole cloud has lifted from the club and I am absolutely loving it.

    Never go back, is not a bad rule, but he's not coming back to Burnley in the foreseeable future, if ever, so it's not really a relevant question. A cloud has certainly lifted, the cloud was the result of the previous board refusing to allow money to be spent on the team, Dyche was under the same cloud as the rest of us. Do you seriously think he enjoyed the football we were playing, that given better players he would not have played better football ? He had done previously when the players at his disposal were better and he will do so again in the future. I'm sure, given the state of his squad in the last two years, if we'd have tried to football our way to survival, we'd have been relegated by Christmas.

    Makes me wonder why Trippier constantly talks about his regular "keep-up" phones calls with his "not very clever" manager.

    To pick 1 player out of a squad, and one who left before things got ugly.
    Any way like I say, I know I have an unpopular view. I do see where you both and probably %99 of this boards viewers are coming from. I just can't. As unpopular as it is, it's just how I feel.

    Any how, next topic

    Daft as it might seem now, IF he gets Everton up towards the top end of the PL, he'll be on the short-list at least. Who else is making a strong claim for the job, you might have said Lampard or Gerrard 12 months ago, where are they now ?
