Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles


I can.

He’s done an incredible job and is perfect for Burnley. But his only jump off point from Burnley will be Palace, when Hodgson finally hangs up the falconry glove, Newcastle or a sideways move to somewhere like West Brom.

Dyche doesn’t rotate his first eleven. He hardly makes any subs most games. I remember watching the Norwich match last July when Burnley were 1-0 up against 9 men for the whole of the 2nd half. It was turgid stuff and he still didn’t bring on the likes of Benson and Driscoll-Glennon, even though it was a dead rubber.

Rightly or wrongly, if Dyche walked into one of the top 10 EPL sides, he would get little respect from the players or fans. He wouldn’t last a month. He just wouldn’t be given the time regardless of his abilities.

Burnley’s only foreign (non home nation) players are Chris Wood (NZ), Erik Pieters (Dutch but ex-Stoke, so he’s as British as wonky teeth), Vydra (Hungarian and rarely starts) and Gudmundsson (Icelandic).

Dyche works brilliantly with British players. There’s nothing wrong with that. But put him in the Chelsea or Man City dressing room and Dyche would have no chance.

We will never know how good a manager Dyche is because he will never have the opportunity to show it.

Sounds like the ideal candidate for the England job  



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

The great thing about Ipswich is its situation. It's equidistant between London and Norwich.


We can beat that. Aren't we more or less equidistant between London and Newcastle?

I suspect he wouldn’t be given more than 6 months.

It could win a tournament, Greece 2004 style, but it would be pretty turgid and unpopular with the corporate prawn sandwiches.

It would be a classic Dyche 4-4-2:

                          Pope

Trippier  Tarkowski         Mee    Taylor

Ward-Prowse  Rice  Henderson  McNeil

                  Kane     Ings


It could work. But in Holloway’s words it would be the ugly girl at the end of the night.

Dwight McNeil's dad scored against us in 2007. Another one of those same time tomorrow.

Interesting fact...

3 points for a win was introduced in 1981/82. If all the previous top flight seasons were recalculated with 3 rather than 2 points for a win the only season where the champions would have been different was 1974/75. Derby were champions, but with 3 points for a win 3rd placed Ipswich would have been champions.

Also, Ipswich won the first division title in 1961/62 season in their first season in the top flight.

A few months ago I read comments on a fans site from an Ipswich fan.  He was worried about the poor quality of football in Division 1, after playing in the Championship.  

God forbid they ever find themselves in NL.    Plus no crowds, poor pitches, crappy grounds and appalling admin.

Everything in life is relative.

Just shows you how our location holds us back when you look at how well Burnley are doing, population 73,021 (2001 Census)
Quite a good video made by a University student for her project on Burnley Football Club. Fans views and what it means to support Burnley.

They won't need me to tell them, but I am sure this is one of the many things the consortium will be working on to show the club and the Grimsby area in its best light - professional promotional videos for prospective investors for example.

We obviously don't know the extent of their plans, but it will not include chugging along at the bottom of league 2 that is for sure.
