And would he want back to the EPL quick smart? Not so sure, there's been a few opportunities for him since he left Burnley and he's still out of work. Think he would make us extremely difficult to beat while also still giving the best opportunity to colak as target man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season but results have dropped. I keep seeing this as a reason to steer clear of Knutsen, but the fact is it is a miracle he even had them challenging in the first place. Finishing 2nd for Bodo/Glimt would have been seen as a fucking miracle before he managed them, yet it is viewed as a disaster now because how well he has done.

Usually when somebody emerges like he did last season they aren’t at whatever club it is for long. I imagine every club who has considered him has been waiting for someone else to take the gamble first. Premier League, Bundesliga etc probably want him to try his arm at a better league that Norway first. I reckon a top Dutch or Belgian side or a team like us would be his next best step and would allow the top leagues to see how well his system translates to other leagues. It would absolutely be a gamble but I think it would pay off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day the manager will be sacked so Ross Wilson and the board keep the flack away from them but the next manager will have to suffer the same shite of having no money to spend even though we bring in tons of money and a DOF who's recruitment has been patchy at best.

Can’t be a diddy and do that for so long. He's a Martin ONeill, without the ugly bigotry. So in that sense, a compliment. He could easily create a winning team in Scotland.

SIRB_72 4,160 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 He certainly wouldnt be my first choise but I actually really like Sean Dyche and the job he did at Burnley was fantastic. His football isn't exactly easy on the eye but there is a structure and everyone is coached well and knows their role in attack and defence. There's a hell of a lot worse than Sean Dyche out there. gazza27, Goofy The Scot and BlueKnight87 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
