Rogers Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Has he gone under the radar, no one seems to talk about his managerial career. Only finishing 3rd with Anderlecht and not winning anything, and then not doing that great with Burnley. Should he join the list of good player - bad manager with Lampard, Gerrard, and Rooney. Or is it just the Premier League being a big jump from the Championship and Burnley haven't backed him with serious cash? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He's on a learning curve Clubs like Burnley have got to be very careful about what they think their status should be Being a yo-yo club under Dyche with a hugely improved infrastructure was a definite upside for them - but they couldn't see it 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairy Tail Owl Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) He took over at Anderlecht after there worst ever season missed out on Europe for the first time ever I believe and won the title at Burnley.

Ever the pessimist Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 He’s getting an easy ride from the media on account of his woeful United are, plus his credit as a top player in the recent past. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew1974 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Had a big budget in Championship and almost made a mess of it. Bought badly in the summer. replaced their keeper who i think was in the team of the year with Trafford off the back of the U21s performances. Marginalised some of the players who did so well for him last year too. I'd say he's had a lucky escape from the sack so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeyswfc Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I didn’t get the fanfare last season. Yes they sold a lot of players, £90m I think, but then he went out and spent 75m to win the league. Theyve been pathetic this season. £75m plus whatever he spent in the summer for 13 points is laughable. I think they’ll lose to United and finish bottom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that if the rumours are true he'll be back in management quickly (if the severance pay and conditions within it allow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Think his insistence on trying to play "nice" football has ended up biting them on the arse. They coasted to automatic promotion last season, but it's a huge step up from the Championship to the Premier League. Much easier to be knocking it around the backing, having you keeper playing it short when you've got a bunch of Championship players trying to press you as opposed to some of the best players in the world. Do also wonder if the both them and Dem Blades largely coasting last season has not set them up particularly well this time round. I struggle to think of a top two in the Champ who had an easier path to automatic promotion. There was a brief moment where Boro looked like they could snatch 2nd spot, but it only lasted a few weeks in reality. On the other hand, you have Luton who had to fight and scrap their way to get out of the Championship. I don't know, I just get the impression Luton were in some ways better prepared mentally for what was coming this season i.e. they knew they were going to be right up against it again. On the other hand, Burnley and Dem Blades have been like rabbits in the headlights from day one. They've looked shellshocked with how much better nearly every other team is compared to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannofan Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Pundits seem to agree that Burnley are worse than United, on the basis that the piggies occasionally have an awareness of their situation and show a bit of fight. Burnley however are awful in every single aspect of the game from back to front , I'm surprised the fans haven't turned on them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackburn were in the top 6 for most of the season after losing 17 games (bottom of the league only lost 21) To be fair the championship has been pretty much like that for a long time which makes our journey all the more pathetic considering the so called "Big Players" we have made millionaires and some even wealthier millionaires in this period... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley recorded 72 wins, 68 draws and 118 losses in the top-flight under Dyche. That Yo Yo must have had a bloody big knot in the string on the up lift ... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
