Sean Dyche

Before he joined (and within the first few weeks) I thought he always came across as a salt of the earth type who the common fan could relate to.

However before long it seems more and more the case that he's actually a bluffer and also comes across highly arrogant. In the end I couldn't stand listening to his 'skinny jeans flared jeans' bullshit mixed in with the odd Clough anecdote for PR purposes.

Unless it's pure desperation the man is finished at the top level.
Agreed, my sentiments too.

Dyche is on talksport, again, having a right moan about the players complaining about having to work too hard.

I don't know how he doesn't realise that keep ranting about modern footballers makes him sound like the out of touch dinosaur he complains about people calling him.

I had the misfortune to listen to the first 5 mins when he was talking about tuchel and England. It was 5 minutes of meaningless word soup! I had no idea what point he was trying to make just going around in circles! Bizare!

Every time I see the resurrection of this thread I think: where has he sounded off today about the state of the modern game? Talk Shite seems to be the usual answer.

I don't know if he's always been like this or it's just since we've had the misfortune of being managed by him, but he's coming across as someone who is going off the deep end. Constant victim complex and moaning; I really had the impression that while his football is agricultural at best, behind that he was quite a light-hearted and likeable guy, but apparently not.

Compare him with Vitor, who accepted the club's decision with such dignity and maturity, and Dyche looks even more of a chomper. I know who I'd approach as a club battling relegation, next season.

It's because he's now decided to do more media work, adverts, and embraced social media.

He's putting himself about far more and we are the way he's getting attention.

You really start to see why the players wanted him gone. He's only tolerable when you can switch him off. 🤣

I caught some of the interview, think it was the middle so missed England bit and think they were going to talk about Forest. But the bit I did caught was Simon Jordan (who I do think talks some sense) put Dyche firmly in his place, did not back down and made him look a bit silly

I caught a bit in the car and switched off when he claimed Forest fans were delusional because they had ridiculous amounts of efforts against Wolves and could've won 3-0 but they still complained it was boring football. Apparently Nuno also had us playing boring football but because we won it was ok.

He literally has no idea.

Yeah I think he's always been like this but now he's taking every opportunity he gets for some media attention, it's quite annoying.

I had it on whilst doing a bit of gardening, and they said they were going to talk about Forest but didn't come back to it till the end.

The bit with Jordan putting him in his place was great because Dyche was claiming he never said it, but he did. Then he diid that daft "get the tape" thing. It was like him managing us where he'd gaslight the fans each week.

Unless I misinterpreted him, he seemed to suggest Anderson was one of the key people who got him the sack. He also said Marinakis felt the club should aim to be a top 10 club and Dyche tried to shoot him down. He also took little shots at the fans complaining about his style of football and then called Nunos brand of football "attritional", and Jordan took him up on that saying Forest were actually great to watch under Nuno.

Dyche can't help himself. Absolutely glad we don't have to suffer that man at the club anymore.

He is a caricature.

Dyche is basically evolving into a slightly less-believable version of Ron Manager.

Thank god we sacked the tosser.

This one is his worst yet. He is just lying at this stage, especially when he’s rambling about style of play.

Also, the same players he is slagging off were working their arses off during matches under him, you could see the frustration.

So to clarify, the fans & players got him sacked. Nothing he did.

Maybe he needs reminding by us "delusional" fans about the 50-odd crosses he demanded to be delivered onto the heads of the two Everton centre-backs that night at the CG.

I wish someone would ask him directly about his tactics against Everton last year (home and away). Because we had 4 managers last year and he was only one under whom we would resort to spamming aimless crosses into the box all game. So I highly doubt it was the players who decided it off the cuff during the game.

I'd like someone knowledgeable to take him to task on the merits on chucking in crosses all game at Tarkowski and O'Brien who probably dream about heading footballs.

Dyche would probably just lie or say the crosses weren't good enough quality, but that home game was the end of my tether with him. Non-league tactics for a relic of a manager.

I do wonder if Javier Aguirre was a big fan of Dyche - as he tried the same thing against England when Dan Burn was on.

It's difficult to say. We did beat West Ham and Spurs as well as Wolves once, but then we also drew with Wolves and lost to Leeds in the reverse fixtures.

We fluked the win Vs West Ham. It was a dreadful performance. Spurs downed tools for us.

We may have got similar results against other teams had he stayed but it felt like he used up his luck in the early part of his time here. The second half of his spell was truly dreadful both performances and results.

No doubt we would have been relegated under him, not only because of how bad we got but also how Spurs and West Ham made it a high total to survive. We just wouldn't have got anywhere near the points we did had we not made the change.

That's when I was done with him too. Was sceptical before but wanted consistency, but that Everton game was absolutely unforgivable.

Even if we had stayed up it'd been a dreadful and joyless grind. Then we'd have wannabe celebs and z listers connected the club cheerleading him to stay. Gobble, gobble, gobble.
