AvfcTheObsession Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I know people will say he's only the same as Lambert was 3/4 years ago, but if Burnley went down I'd go for Sean Dyche. Yes, it's a gamble, but surely that's the best we can do in our current situation. Just because Lambert hasn't worked doesn't mean a manager with a similar background isn't capable of making the step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2015 I don't really rate Sean Dyche to be honest. Good motivator, don't get me wrong. But I'd be severely underwhelmed if we appointed him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I understand that Dyche isn't proven yet and that there are the obvious examples of managers that have done similar things in recent times only to prove to be busted flushes (*coughs*) but is there anything in particular about his management that has caused you not to rate him? Genuinely curious. I too wouldn't be keen on appointing him either at this moment in time, but due to the reasoning I began this post with.

Stevo985 Posted January 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2015 I don't think he's tactically very good. He's extremely good at motivating, and that's what has gotten Burnley as far as they have so far. But I actually think that will be their downfall. They're playing an intense high pressure game and I think it's going to catch up with them. They haven't got a huge squad, and the squad they have isn't being used very well as Dyche is playing the same 11 as often as possible it seems. I don't think you can do that anymore. They've put up a good fight, but I think they'll trail off now. Their capitulation at 2-0 up the other day is the first sign of that imo. Of course I acknowledge that at the same time as being unproven he could be unrealised potential, but I don't really see it. He's done nothing yet to make me think he's a properly good manager.

foreveryoung Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Funny not one rates him, because he has achieved not far off from what Lambert has previous as manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Dyche IMO would be an upgrade on the current manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have missed those back to back promotions and keeping his team in the premier league... Anyway, achievements don't necessarily equal quality. Just because 2 managers may have achieved the same doesn't mean you can't rate them differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Karanka would be a good appointment. Plays good football and used to work under Mourinho at Real I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw_nuff Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Now John Gregory has had successful surgery, can we have him as manager please? I met John when Villa were staying at the Lancaster Gate hotel in London prior to playing Arsenal. I plucked up the courage to introduce myself while he and the squad were eating in the restaurant. Couldn't speak highly enough of the man as he made the players around him introduce themselves and shake my hand including Merson and Southgate LOL. He made it seem he was more interested in me as a fan than any of his players. Top bloke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Someone posted this elsewhere on net!! Tim Sherwood seen again!! Can see Gordon Statchan in the picture as well.. Edited January 25, 2015 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2015 Gordon Strachan lives in Leamington afaik so not too surprising to see him at VP. Dunno about Sherwood. Fingers crossed he's just taking in a game, because him as manager would be a **** disaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His career since he left has been anything but impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
