I agree. I don't think there's any chance of us getting Dyche as he has no reason to move and I doubt we could provide an adequate incentive to him or Burnley to let him go. So Howe is the best option to my mind.

Didn’t he do poorly at Burnley aswell. He finished mid table and left because he was home sick. I think Dyche took over from and got Burnley promoted with a fraction of the funds Howe had at Bournemouth.

He is over hyped because he plays nice football and he is English. Dyche is a much better manager in my opinion, getting Burnley to Europe is a great achievement given the resources.

His teams concede a hatful of goals, he wastes millions and got a team relegated. Then walked away instead of trusting his abilities to get them back up.

No thanks

Eddie Howe left Burnley because of the death of his mother after a short illness.
His signings at Burnley included Trippier,Mee,Vokes and Ings.

I would like Dyche and we may have a chance. The new owners bought the club with the club's money so Burnley are now saddled with a load of debt.

How much will Dyche have to spend and what his relationship like with the owners?

Yes we don't spend much either but it is not impossible that Dyche is fed up and fancies coming south.

Anyone losing their mother would find it really difficult and citing personal reasons to leave would always be respected. I’m not judging him on this.

However, he left Burnley on 12th October 2012 and joined Bournemouth on 14th.

We ain’t going to get Dyche, but that doesn’t mean we should settle for a reject instead. He failed at Burnley where Dyche succeeded. He got Bournemouth relegated and then walked away when he could have stayed like Dyche, Farke, Parker and got promoted back to the prem.

I hate managers who fail in the prem and then instead of taking a step back to earn there strips, they think they should walk into another prem job. Wilder, Howe, Wagner, Hughes, Bruce.....etc

Why don’t we do something which is not Palace and follow a modal of Southampton/Brighton and do some actual research/scouting. FdB didn’t work out, but that doesn’t mean we should NEVER go for an international manager ever again.

We all want to move forward and push up the league. So why don’t identify a winner and go after him/her instead of appointing a loser?

One the one hand I would like Fulham to stay up. On the other hand if they do Scott Parker will not be coming to us!

Mind you in some ways it would be neat to have three SPs - Selhurst Park, Steve Parrish, Scott Parker.

But unfortunately I can see Eddie Howe coming so he better be a lot, lot better than I currently think he is!

 


Always remembering walking from the Holmesdale to the Whitehorse end at half time!

If Rafa were interested you'd have to seriously consider him, but I doubt he is interested, and if people are fed up with Roy parking the bus (Parish included possibly?) then Rafa is hardly the man you want. He would very likely have set us up in many games exactly the same way Roy has done. And I don't think Howe deserted Bournemouth just bcos of relegation - it must have been a big step leaving that particular club and he was probably burnt out - I think it's the same with Wilder. There are always pros and cons but I'm one of many on here who think the pros far outweigh the cons re Howe, and despite everyone's opinion on Howe's merits, the key opinion belongs to Parish, and given his track record of appointments I can see Howe as top of the list, certainly above Terry or Lampard, and easier logistically than Dyche with that involving possible compensation and agreement to negotiate with Burnley's new owners.

I’d like to think that if Fulham did go down and we appointed Scott Parker, then he may be able to attract with him a few of the better Fulham players. We desperately need a freshen up and they do have some very good players who would want to stay at the top level.

I've been saying Rafa ever since he left Newcastle, I think if Steve was to really go after him he'd be our manager next season.

Article in todays Sunday Times - not looking for a payday and just wants to coach, preferably in the Premier League.

He's certainly not interested in us. He wants a project with a competitive PL club and Spuds might just fulfil that criterion.

We might as well keep Roy, it’ll be just as defensive

Lets say your correct, still a no brainer to bring the younger replacement in.

Agree- we need a younger manager, younger squad. But let’s bring in a younger manager that is better and achieved more than the one we have got.

We all want progression and that means recruiting better than what you have.

Why?? Newcastle were dull as dish water with him in charge, he comfortably kept them in the division grinding out results, but they were never going to progress any further with him, sound familiar?

Most of their better players are on loan - RLC, Lookman, Andersen, Maja, Areola and Aina - so we can go after them in the summer anyway.

If I was Spuds I would be looking at Parker to takeover. He looks like someone who would thrive with a quality squad. We would need to overhaul our squad to play the way Fulham do and I don't think we'd have the budget.

If Parker is as good as you think he is, why with those quality players have they been in the bottom 3 most of the season and relegation most likely?
The truth is he isnt that good, just looks smart in his fancy clothing.

Fair point ,but think he and team took a while to adapt to the premiership, but they have adjusted better now albeit a bit late.
