Vitor Pereira - Our Manager

[wassy04]

We have a lot to thank Dyche for. He definitely made an impact, he improved us and he steadied the ship. But performances were beginning to dip, we could see it. He may have been able to turn it around but having listened to what he's said since, he doesn't even acknowledge that.

I just find it so refreshing to have a coach that can tinker with things and change the outcome of a game. I was mightily impressed with the way the Porto coach shuffled his pack last week too.

I am going to have to disagree here Pap.

We perhaps have a little bit to thank Dyche for but certainly not a lot.

Most of the players won't thank him for anything at all in all honesty.

I agree, results wise was around par probably, slightly above earlier and slightly below post Spurs win. Performance wise was below par and then other factors such as development of the squad and squad rotation were non existent. His inability and experience managing a team in Europe was always the biggest issue surrounding the appointment.

I was happy with the appointment at the time personally though so can't really complain. Thought the other options that were in the media at the time were and probably still are worse choices. Obviously with hindsight, at that point Vitor would've been a better appointment.

It's nice having a coach that you can actually find previous teams fans and journalists think is actually good (which was similar to Nuno and Cooper actually, although obviously not all their previous roles/fans!). Not sure there was many people coming out to bat for Dyche.
