If dyche was Dycheo, and done what he's done at Burnley for a small Italian club, we'd be begging him to come.

He's worked miracles at Burnley, and deserves a chance with a bigger club, and yet people don't think he's good enough for palace.

Pellegrino had one good season in Spain. Fdb did well at ajax, but was a disaster in Italy, yet they're both seen as far superior to Dyche.

And people wonder why there are no English managers ag the top teams...


You've hit the nail on the head. I was listening to a discussion on Radio 5 Live last night, and he same point was made. It's almost accepted now that, almost by definition, only a foreigner can be up to the job of managing an English Pmemiership club. Rubbish!

That tired, worn out, moribund cliché. Dyche is just more of the same old. Nothing whatsoever to do with where he comes from (albeit I suspect it may be from Skaro). He's not the appointment to take us forward and, at best will manage to achieve 13th to 17th. He's wedded to a dinosauric 4-4-2, regardless of home or away, whatever the opposition or how the game is going. He won't make the best use of our wingers or Benteke; he'll try to jam them into his preferred narrow system with strikers running around like decapitated chickens. There's no chance whatsoever that players of even mediocre quality will be queueing round the block to play for him. For all those reasons I don't want him anywhere near Palace and fcuk all to do with which planet he comes from.

I think Dyche has worked wonders but it's at a settled club he knows and they play diabolical football. Not saying I don't like him or respect what he has done. Just don't think he is up to scratch and don't want to watch his crappy brand of football week in week out.

This would be same Dyche that only won 1 away game all season, and that was against us when we had our 3 best central defenders out injured.

His style of play isn't exactly great to watch either. Now, I know that we tried to be more expansive and came a cropper at the back, but when we went back to counter attacking, we still weren't lumping it forward aimlessly.

Even if he stays at Burnley, I think they will be prime relegation candidates next season.

He reminds me of being another Mick McCarthy type of manager.

Maybe we have already tied this one up just can't announce until his contract is up and in the meantime we are getting transfer targets lined up from his brief! Who knows could announce a signing at the same time as manager given that timescale! Very wishful thinking &#129300; But who knows!

This makes a lot of sense.

Their facilities are on another planet to ours. Their training complex is state of the art. Wonder what Pellegrino made of Copers Cope Rd

Don't we now have Cryo Chambers since seems stint.

Fairly cutting edge considering, but probably still not up there with Southampton.

Thing is maybe Pellegrino wants to work somewhere for more than a year and keep the players together.

Southampton is a great club, but they do sell all their best players and change managers at a whim.

Reading between the lines DeBoer and Pellegrino will end up in the premier league. Both are waiting on our club's list so it's a case of which one blinks first which will then decide the location of the other. Can't see it being Dyche, although the hostility towards such an appointment seems odd. Yes his away record wasn't great but, for the love of god, what he's achieved at Burnley is sensational!

What he's shown at Burnley is show he's capable of achieving promotion from the Championship, which is not something we'll (hopefully) require, that he's quite capable of being relegated, of scraping survival and has a shocking away record that even their own fans attribute to his having no plan B. He has zero experience of managing players of the quality we have and won't be an attraction to quality players in the transfer market. He's very good at Burnley, but "sensational" is an hyperbole too far.

I'd have to agree with the above.

I don't think his appointment would be us looking forward.

Where I do feel Frank would be a step forward like Sam was.

I hope Pellegrino would as well but if I'm honest I don't know enough about his style to comment.

I genuinely think we are some of the most patient supporters in any football league. Almost every 12 months, sometimes less, were either saying FFS sack someone before they relegate us, which drags on way beyond when common sense went out of the window, or we're saying FFS make an appointment because we've got a preseason/transfer window to deal with, whilst the club sets a new record in feet dragging, navel gazing and rumination. Yet we're all still here. It's us that deserve the accolades for putting up with it year in, year out.


Now that's a perspective I hadnt thought about. Many tyanks Dave!
