[Football] Dyche looking likely for Everton ***CONFIRMED***

[AlbionBro]

The second young Lampard got chopped I thought it had Dyche all over it. He will keep them up.

 

[Stato]

Does Dyche actually have any record for going into a dressing room in a tailspin and sorting them out in a couple of weeks?
He worked wonders at Burnley but that was over time, they got relegated and came back.

When Howe left Burnley and went back to Bournemouth in October 2012 they were sixteenth in the Championship and averaging 1.1 points per game: an average that, over the season, would have seen them finish in the bottom three with about 51 points. Instead, under Dyche, they finished 11th and went on to be promoted in second the following season. They were relegated in their first season in the EPL but on their return to the Championship won the league. Then, with a fraction of his competitors budgets, he not only avoided the drop for five seasons, but acheived two top ten finishes and a European campaign. He doesn't have a history as a relegation fire fighter, but he knows how to fight relegation and he knows how to get promoted from the Championship. Personally, I find him a hypocritcal, self-righteous windbag, but if I was on Everton's board, I'd be at his house with a long contract.

I was amused to see updates on his Wikepedia page reminding Evertonians that he once said that he was a Liverpool fan growing up.

Rumour is that Chelsea Todd has got the wrong end of the stick and offered £120m to snatch Dyche from the Toffees...

Strange how it feels smug to be a Brighton fan looking at Everton right now. A good appointment for them but the sort of football that will bore the pants off you.
Makes you appreciate just how fun it is having King Slazenger managing the team.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Dyche should be as good as appointment as Everton fans could have wished for. He'll get them solid and give them a chance to survive

Bielsa. His tactics involve having players who will run for the cause. Everton players didn't run for the past 6 managers and wouldn't run for him.

One thing I can promise you, Mr Dyche has never got me solid.

I don't buy the Dyche love-in. OK, Burnley had a relatively low budget, but for the last available data, they were 18th, we were 17th (in terms of player wages). And last year (before he got sacked) they'd won just 4 out of 30 games. I absolutely detest his style of football....and I don't accept the argument that he HAD to play like that due to small budgets. Having said all thatr, it's a good appointment by Everton (if true)....and gives them a decent chance of avoiding relegation (unfortunately)

I'm a fan of him

Martinez to Koeman to Alladyce to Silva to Ancellotti to Benetiz to Lampard to Dyche. 10 years.

Hilarious.



"if you've not spewed up we're out of the cup"

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Believe it or nuts, I don't think Dyche plays anti football. his teams were always full on, tackling hard and roughing up the tippy tappy sides....you play to the strengths of whats available to you

I wouldn’t say they’re anti-football but it was a very basic 4-4-2 with “percentage” balls which were often long. I agree it was successful in that it got Burnley promoted and then a European place. I’m just not convinced of this as a sustainable approach to top flight football.

I do get the argument that he cut his cloth accordingly at Burnley so it will be interesting to see how he approached the Toffees gig if he gets it.

And maybe get them above Palace?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

As for his politics, Dyche is a remainer

As I was saying, he has good EPL pedigree, top 7 and europe on a budget and is a true leader who won’t suffer the fools in the Toffees dressing room. I think this is an inspired appointment for Everton.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

love of Thatcher

ah, scratch my last post.

 

[highflyer]

I'm a fan of him

Well, I was. And I can accept his comments on Thatcher, in the context in which they are given.
But mates with Alistair Campbell?
Pah!
Dead to me.

 

[Swansman]

"Bielsa or Dyche" shows that they really don't have a plan

I thought the same argument when we sacked Hughton about 'cutting our cloth accordingly'. Chris was playing the football with what he had available. Then Potter came along and transformed our playing mentality with pretty much the same squad. Players out in the cold like Dan Burn were turned into top PL performers.

Dyche's problem was that if you play the same way every year, then teams are going to work out what to do against you. Burnley had 2 decent seasons. They actually got 54 points 2 seasons in a row, 1 was 7th and Europe, the next 10th. The 7th was an outlier season, the top 6 finished in the top 6, ManCity got 100 pts, everyone else was ordinary, 54 points was one of the lowest points totals a team has got to qualify for Europe.

Amazing that he did that, but as well as 2 promotions he has 2 relegations out of 5 relegation battles. I think he'll struggle.

Dyche is decent , that will be Everton safe and mid table

So, the answer to the question is "No"?

Lots of arseholes are remainers.
