The only reason I can see for being strong on Dyche, is the fact that he could be the same old, same old. If true , it wouldn’t seem we are aiming for the stars.
Dyche,s only real recommendation is he can get a limited group to Work hard enough to cling on to a place in the Premier league.. Where have we heard that before, Only all the time.
Let’s be honest, does the club have the where with all to aim any higher?

Maybe Spider is right in saying he could give us a change of style, but he does add the caveat 'given the right players'.

Question is, have we got or can we get the right players?

I am firmly in the Roy in camp for at least one more season!

I said 3 years ago I would love a few seasons of boring mid table medicocracy football instead of relegation battles etc... And it's exactly what I got!

So what if we play s***e football it's a results game! I remember the s***e football we played under Freedman before the promotion season and I'm reading some people want him back? And Roy to go? Short fickle memories on some!

When Roy has had the players and a fit squad we have played some good football!

And what do people expect when you have Scot Dan playing in defence every second game and we concede lots of goals?

Definitely has the Charlton/ Ipswich feel about it! Careful what you wish for!

Has anyone looked at other teams message boards? They all play s***e football and all the fans are moaning!

i dont understand why anybody who doesnt want roy to be manager seriously wants dyche.

forget about age he is a lesser manager than roy and plays similar football...the plus point i suppose is that he is used to working with no budget and we have a better squad than burnley.

if there was a happy medium, personally i would take dyche above lampard as he would probably keep us up without demanding a fortune to spend.

...it was 15 years ago that the Charlton fans said that they would like a new manager and plenty of clubs have changed managers in the intervening years without being relegated so surely it's about time this mantra was put to bed

It wasn’t that a club simply wanted a new manager per se. It was that an underfunded, unsuccessful club which had enjoyed an unprecedented run in the big time (during which time it overachieved relative to the resources of clubs above and below them) wanted to get rid of the manger who had brought this success so they could progress to the mythical ‘next level’. We all know how that ended, and the fact that it occurred 15 years ago does not lessen the importance of this cautionary tale.

The only way we are going to the next level is if a very, very rich person or nation state decides to pump large sums of cash into the club without any realistic expectation of seeing it again. Unfortunately neither our chairmen nor our US ‘investors’ fit that bill. A change of manager alone will not achieve the transformation people are seeking.

It’s dispiriting to think that barring a miracle what we now have is the best we can hope for, but unfortunately that is the depressing fact of the matter. Money has killed competition.

I agree with you and have been saying that for years. It wouldn't be that difficult to find a billionaire investor willing to fund the club but the sticking point is our chairman who loves his role as Mr Big and wants to retain it and no billionaire would be willing to pump a couple of hundred million into a company that he doesn't have control over
