    There's going to be a lot of fun to be had when they hire Arse Slot as their new manager.

    He kept us up last year; it looks like he will keep us up this year.
    He has the backing of the players.
    He has carried the club on his back in very trying circumstances.
    I think he deserves a shot next year with hopefully some better attacking players. Two bona fide forwards - a 10 and a winger - and an attacking right back - changes this team completely.

    How is the ability of the international footballers to pass a ball on Dyche? Unless you think he's actively coaching them to be shit passers?
    You don't want him here, you've made that clear in pretty much every thread since December, don't remember much prior to that. Meanwhile, I think he's progressed us quite a bit, despite the turmoil around the club, and think he deserves a crack with better players. You haven't managed to convince me until now that there is a better solution, I don't see anything has changed except we won our first home Derby in 14 years, have kept 11 clean sheets, have the 4th best defensive record in the league and should be sitting on a minimum of 41 points. Comparing that versus the last 2 seasons with pretty much the same squad, arguably weaker, and all the noise, that's impressive. Far from good enough, but a massive positive trend. 
    Realistically speaking there's 2 options for next season in my eyes:
    1) PSR/FFP will continue to screw us over meaning the squad isn't going to be improved upon and, whilst it's mostly ugly, Dyche has got us progressing in the right direction during these very challenging circumstances. So why change? 
    2) We're somehow allowed to buy players but still have to be careful with spending, probably more bargain shopping as most sales profits will go to the books. Would you want a new manager in for that? Potentially and with good reasons. People (moreso than players I imagine) could say Dyche can't attract the players we want, let alone could potentially afford. But then who? I accept that we're still attractive with our history and the new stadium, but who takes us further than the last day relegation escapes to a midtable seaonal performance with less options and more pressure? I don't think we'd see this squad go on to a top 8 squad with anyone else, but who knows. Personally I don't think it's a gamble we need to take next season. I think, harsh as it is, that he gets 1 more season and if he doesn't improve further then we've a new manager for the new stadium. That's probably the best we can hope for with all things considered.

    We did have months of dross. It's been a weird season; we had 10 games of UEFA level form and 15 of relegation form. But the goal for this season was improvement and stability. Dunno about the stability, but I still put most of that on the players. But 41 points is the minimum we should be on, a mid table performance after the previous 2 years is a massive achievement. Not been achieved in a pretty way, it's awful to watch for the most part. But we wanted safety before the last game of the season, we wanted an improvement on our league position and he's delivered that in spite of the worst the club has been in since Johnson days.

    Expansive? Either way, he's never had a budget or squad capable of much more than we're seeing. I'm still curious.

    It'll take too long. I think Steve should be able to step in and adjudicate.
    I'm personally in favour of docking Boston 5 extra points for just calling them Nottingham. I mean, what's that about?

    Sorry, Boston.

    Boston has previous for this! Obviously just guessing - doesn't know where we're playing or who we're playing. Surely, a 20 point deduction?

    You are probably right maybe 1 win and a draw will do it, I don’t see Burnley finishing higher as 18th even though dunlopp thinks they are a threat to us.

    I think a bit less, probably. A couple of wins should do it. Luton aren't getting three wins from four.
    A win tomorrow and things start to look a lot better.

    Like I've said before, their pace is what makes the difference for them. It covers a lot of their deficiencies up.
    If we had even a drop of pace in our team we'd look a hell of a lot better. Still shite, obviously, but we'd carry much more of a threat.
