I was also wondering why Dyche hasn't come out and made a statement saying that he is not interested in the Palace job.
Considering he is one of the favourites for the job, and I don't buy the holiday excuse these technology days.

I posed that question, what must now be, many pages back. Bearing in mind his frequently lauded loyalty to Burnley, you'd think he want to put them out of their misery one way or the other.

It looks to me like his agent is playing it to try to get a better deal out of Burnley. If he were serious about coming here and we thought he was our preference, both he and Burnley would have wanted it done ages ago and he isn't in the frame for Southampton.

You can't have this both ways. We're told that, with the variety of modern methods of communication, it doesn't matter if Parish is on holiday 24/7, as it's not an impediment to getting business done. But on the other hand, Dyche is incommunicado because he's having a paddle and building a few sandcastles with a knotted hankie on his head. Both can't be correct can they?

There was a huge outcry on HOL and the BBS a couple of years ago when Parish disappeared off to the West Indies in January when we were desperate to sign players and Parish countered that by stating that it didn't matter where in the world he was he was always available if needed.

People who want a job don't disappear out of contact during the job hunting season

Why does he have to,all that's happened is that the bookies have put his name on a long list.
Then a long thread on here.

Yes and Burnley wanting to know either way means diddly squat when Dyche is silent on the matter and there's a £1 mil release clause on his contract. Burnley have very little say on this if Palace and Dyche are ant to make music. Why people are pretending they do is really odd.

Parish suggested it in the American radio interview. With the ceiling being 8th place. Palace only being 5 pts off Southampton in 8th. The extra/extreme investment is hardly worth. The potential 3 or 5 places in the table. Worth extra 6 to 8m if 8th placed is achieved. If your an investor. We may have to go with the likes of Hennessy, ward and puncheon for one more season.

I'm not sure that there was ever any realistic chance of upgrading the three that you mentioned as whilst all performed poorly under Pardew they upped their game when Big Sam came along.

Central defender and second striker are probably the top requirements

That's not all that happened though as many of the media articles have claimed to know what Dyche is up to.

Perhaps he has confirmed to his own board that he doesn't intend to leave.

Or perhaps he hasn't

Well, when the media is carrying stories, that could potentially be damaging to your relationship with your current employer, it's usual to either deny of confirm them to stop the speculation; that's why.

This isn't executive recruitment and the problem is that we're treating it as if it is. Like it or not, with respect to managers of any sort of quality, we're the beggars and they're the choosers. If we don't identify a target, make sure both parties are on the same page, and offer the job we risk the Sherwood situation where we get told to stick it.

Surely succession planning is about not being "surprised". We should have had an ongoing list of potential replacements, properly researched, so that we could identify the best target and go that. With our record of managers upping and leaving unexpectedly, together with Sam having a six-month break clause, we should have been better prepared.

The tired cliché that any opposition to Dyche is because he isn't "foreign" has long-since been debunked. Those who don't want Dyche are so minded because they don't think he's good enough and that he won't bring anything new to the party.

Liverpool used to have the best succession planning years ago.
The boot room.Promotion from within.
Unfortunately gone nowadays,mind you Leicester are giving it a try.

If he has, then I'd have expected a statement from Burnley, as this kind of speculation is destabilising for any club. Parish wasn't slow to announce that, much to his surprise, Freedman had asked to be allowed to talk to Bolton, was he?

I thought he had a rolling yearly contract so I guess that has been renewed and that is where the speculation on the 1mil compensation comes from as otherwise at the end of this month he would be out of contract?

Perhaps they have already accepted that he is leaving and are quietly interviewing Pellegrino and FDB to replace him.

OK. Perhaps not

I've just checked on the BBS and they haven't got a manager yet either

Oh, that would be the final twist in the tail wouldn't it? Pellegrino to Southampton, de Boer to Burnley and we get the bobby prize. That would truly be the Palace way

Like you say we would surely have to contact Burnley about Dyche! Makes me think if he was who we wanted then they would have told us to get it done pronto so they could replace him! Given the timescale we must be looking elsewhere?

I do hope so!
