    SkyBet have suspended on Allardyce.

    I mean I know the he has a pretty decent rescue record (WBA aside) what would he actually bring that Dyche didn’t supply already?

    Hmmm their GK coach is meant to be somewhat of a talent, an area we could definitely do with an upgrade I’d say….

    Although tbf we need the goalkeepers in the first instance.

    It feels very Venkyish.

    Everton could do worse than sacking Frank and bringing Dyche in.

    I think Burnley may look at Ralph, then we can finally get Dyche in.

    Funnily enough there’s some suggestion that their new owners have basically leveraged their finances on permanent PL football…. At Burnley…

    Which does remind me of Venkys allegedly not knowing relegation was a possibility when they purchased Blackburn.

    If true though Burnley are in BIG trouble.

    Don’t they also have lots of players out of contract this summer?

    At least it’s a clear win for Lancashires carveries.

    Hard times for gravel salesmen though.

    But come on. He has never lost 9-0 and Ralph has to go after losing to the European Champions at home. Dyche knows what he is doing and if Burnley can be knee jerk surely we can too.

    Dyche at Saints would bore me to tears. Good manager but his style isn't for us.

    Actually, how do we think Dyche would play, systems formations tactics etc?

    People laugh about him, but i think he has overachieved with Burnley. Has Ralph overachieved that much?

    Just interested in what people think he could do here, rather than the derision…

    I know Saints are erratic and Ralph has hiccups, but he definitely has improved Saints from where they were.

    Bar the odd record breaking tonking… but that is the ride we are on.

    Yeah i wasnt talking about Ralph. I mean we all know what he brings. Was more generally people laugh at Dyche, and I wondered what he could do with players like we have, what systems etc.

    I dont for a second think we will sack Ralph and was holding on for when SD became available, but I dont think he would do any worse than Ralph.

    Q for Tom, you mentioned boring - you think he would be like watch Puels team play?
