I'm starting to come around to the conclusion that Dyche actually loves this "shoestring budget" malarkey.

After all there are no kudos in having zillions to chuck at an EPL squad.

The media kudos comes from a straight sixth season gained in the EPL on a "f*ck all" budget, claiming virtually anyone can run an EPL team with millions to chuck at it.

I'm not having it that a bloke with Dyche's character is going to accept any old $hit from either Garlick or Pace.

I suggest he likes it the way it is, playing his own developed kids like McNeil and Richardson, always being the cash strapped martyr and earning the plaudits for "doing it his way".

The "Royal Dyche" indeed.
