... what would Dyche do?

I was saying on here yesterday that I have used Dyche as an illustration of everything that Sage seems not to be, rather than a serious proposal as an alternative. He seems perhaps to be a bit of both now, though.

So whether we literally appointed Dyche, or just someone more like him, what would such a manager do upon arrival?

For me, it would be....

1. Go to a back four with fullbacks rather than wingbacks.
2. Take one look at Khalili, bless him, and recall Cardines.
3. Recall Hughes.
4. Sacrifice Europe.
5. Set up for a nil-nil most weeks by default, rather than a nil-however many.

And 6,why not sacrifice all the Cup competitions,given our hopeless plight and fully concentrate on the League.

No, he would organise the defence, play to the players he had strengths, not come in with predefined tactics, play to the strengths not the weaknesses

FotMob app reckons Khalili was our best player…

f*** me… that is slap bang back in RoyBall territory. Save the status at all costs with this mindset. I am not sure about this. May 17th was pretty special and we would never have experienced that with a Roy/Status at all costs mindset.

I don’t care what Dyche would do as he’s won f*** all & he only achieves s*** outcomes with boring boring football

For clarity, I'm not suggesting we should go for Dyche. What I'm interested in is what we think we would or wouldn't get from him or someone like him, seeing as his name keeps coming up, even if only as an example of what Sage isn't.

Palace winning something was a historical aberration. Winning something was the culmination of preparation with a touch of good fortune, and as such can be repeated. If things go in cycles we can ask ourselves how long until the next time?

Probably not in my lifetime (I'm 75).
