The phone rings Ring ring (our Troy isn't one for modern fancy ring tones, so ...) ring ring Troy answers "Hello Deeney towers here" "Errrrrrrrrrrr" comes the gravelly reply "Now look here" says Troy "I've just about had enough of this - when I catch up with you - whoever you are - I'm going to rip your head off and stuff it where the sun don't shine - I've got form for that sort of thing you know" "Errrrrrrr" comes the reply "Hey Troy it's your ex-boss Sean Dyche here" "Oh hi ex-boss - sorry about that I thought it was the pervert whose been phoning my missus over the last few years - again" "Ah yes" replies Sean "Errr sorry about that - anyway moving swiftly on - I thought I'd see how your doing - hows things are diddling" "Great" replies Troy "I've scored 23 goals this season ..." "Yes so I've heard"says Sean "... and most people at the club say I'm up for player of the season ..." "really" Sean says in mock surprise "... and current boss says we'll get promoted next season ..." continues Troy "Does he" Says Sean doubtfully "and how about you?" finishes Troy politely "Oh not too bad at all" Replies Sean "I've just got promoted to the premiership". "Oh well done ex-boss" exclaims Troy "Your so lucky - I wish I was going to play in the premiership next season". "Ah well" says Sean " now you come to mention it ....." (to be continued)
Well its a bit tongue in cheek - but I think the point is he's likely to be a target now we aren't going up for sure.
I'm not so sure. Maybe a target for one of the clubs coming down who need to cut their cloth accordingly, but who else has the cash? He has not exactly got a good press and I don't hear other fans extolling his virtues..
Apart from be paid much more money, presumably. This is by no means a recent phenomenon though - look at Dennis Bond, Alan Mayes, Paul Furlong, Bruce Dyer and even Luther himself. The Barnes, Mo Johnston and their ilk seem to have been few & far between.....
