If we finish 10th or 9th that is big success for us. Let’s face it we are never getting into the Champions League places or anything like that. Right now though 10th or 9th feels light years away. Where we are now means 17th would be a success and carry on as we are and it will be a big struggle to get thereAll I want to see is a manager that actually wants to be here and will be here for awhile. I am so sick of the turn over. The board need to be 100% straight with whoever comes in about the fact we do everything slowly and last minute if at all. Any manager coming in should also look very closely with what has happened here in the time we have been in the premier league. The ones who could make a leap forward walked or will walk very quickly. Roy was amazing for what he did but he was right at the very end of his managing career and was just happy to still be involved at the top level and took what came his way. He probably deserves much more credit that some of us gave him, me included because it must have been so frustrating to deal with.
Right now, I hate to say it but I can see Dyche or his type being the next appointment. It will be a case of a tiny step forward having won some silverware and the board will be happy with maybe pushing to finish 10th/9th for the next few years. No dramas.
