Despite the recent run of defeats (capitulation would be more correct) at the hands of both
Southampton and Newcastle; are we also beginning to witness the decline of and departure
of Sean Dyche?
In the past, the media has listened to and taken note of his measured response;more
recently however his approach is beginning to sound like a “stuck record”
Whilst I am no lover of Leeds United, I felt his latest remark regarding the spending there
was inappropriate.
Prior to that we have had VAR,DIVING and PENALTIES.
Personally I am now beginning to find it all embarrassing as sections of the media appear to
be turning against him.
Whatever the outcome of the 2021 season I feel he is now preparing the ground for his
departure.
There will be those who (if he does depart) will be like Fraser in Dad's Army “we are all
doomed”
Similar reactions happened when Coyle “The Messiah” departed for Bolton and we all know
what happened there!
I cannot argue with the manager's record and his achievements, but in all honesty have we
really evolved since the promotion from the championship?
The style of play we developed has remained constant and less entertaining minus the likes
of Barton and Gray (never replaced with similar players)
Against Everton, we bore no resemblance to our last two outings demonstrating the type of
football we can play-defending higher up the field with momentum and aggression and lots
of style - so what happened after that?
I am not suggesting that we suddenly find a 200 Million pound money pit, but individuals with
flair,pace and individuality seem to spell distrust when assessing potential new acquisitions.
(not that we ever come close to any sensible signings over the last 3 seasons)
Burnley is a financially sound club (currently) but with a recruitment and scouting system
more dysfunctional than the Simpsons, along with a reluctance to recruit from anywhere
outside the UK.
Is it asking too much to ask that we adopt the Brentford model?
The club successfully continues to recruit a stream of foreign players for a reasonable outlay
then sell for a large profit.
Is it therefore time for wholesale changes right across the club from top to bottom?
