Out of Howe and Dyche I would say Howe would see the biggest change in direction as he has a clear focus of how he wants his teams to play, and that includes much more possession than we're used to. It carries a big risk as it would likely take time to transition to a new style and it's questionable whether he'd have the resources to achieve it. I also get the feeling Eddie would always see us as a stepping stone to an Everton or an Arsenal. However, in theory he could get us playing really attractive football.

Dyche seems to be the lowest risk option if Roy goes. He gets on well with players, knows what it takes to punch above your weight and isn't afraid to play ugly when necessary. Our squad is probably more suited to his style and I would argue he maybe has more strings to his bow than Howe. Rumours abound he was seen house hunting in London in recent weeks.

If it was a choice between these two I would go with Dyche. He's a funny character and seems like a guy you want on your side. Ok ginger clashes a bit with our kit, but Hopkin got away with it

There only seem to be rumours.

Red and Blue Army!

Paulo Fonseca. I heard a rumour a few days ago that he and our Chairman were in discussion. A brief look at his Google entry suggests (to me at least) that he's not someone we want. He's changed managerial jobs 10 times in 14 years. As a player he was with Porto for 3 years and never got a single game.

Ah, ok, thanks mate, I will cross him off my wishlist!

I’m hearing that Sean Dyche will be our new manager & will be given around £50m plus money made by any transfers to rebuild our squad.

Supposedly he is buying a Home in Beckenham.

I'd take either, thanks for asking, Dyche is safer but Howe would be more compliant, I'm starting to turn to Dyche because the football Pulis and Allardyce got us playing was nothing remotely like the stuff they did at Stoke and Bolton, and I could see us being similarly surprised by Dyche's astuteness.

Ah ok, yes, i"m warming to Dyche, certainly above howe, and you could be right about lampard, much as i like him.

José Mourinho wasn't much of a player and neither was our very own Roy Hodgson

Nor were Wenger, Sarri, Villas-Boas, Rodgers or Nagelsmann.

Like the place, grey and grim.
