If Dyche lived during the viking age he would have been able to defend England against all the raiders


Reach_Reclaimer

Second coming of alfred the great


SnooChipmunks4208

In a track suit.


ManIWantAName

Still ate worms.


airtraq

Dyche probably has worms


melody-calling

Something like 25% of the world have worms. Think about that for a second. Billions of people are full of billions of worms, sliding about inside them. Some people are bursting at the seams with worms. Probably why the ivermectin helped made people feel better during covid.


Burnleh

I was surprised and disappointed to see Dyche wears a tracksuit now. His shirt and tie were iconic and, in my view, showed a certain respect for the game x


AnnieIWillKnow

Don't worry his wife has made him switch back


PaladinPaladout

tfw you get off the raiding longboat to see the monks are in 4-4-2 formation backed by Dyche


Old-Risk4572

a proper bout


mvnvel

Monks have a fighting chance.


Salty-Party-5234

'ate norse raiders, not racist just don't like em. Out means oit, simple as


BigReeceJames

Ashley Barnes 2 footing the first man that gets off the boat only to flop to the floor and play dead after a strong gust of wind


BlackGiroud

4-4-2, big man FOOKING small man.


Angry_Old_Dood

And they're all built like brick shithouses


GMWQ

He would have beaten that viking on Stamford bridge with just his fists


JootDoctor

But could he beat the French Viking from down south?


MistaBobD0balina

Fixture congestion did Harold in.


QueasyIsland

Ealdorman Sean Dyche of Mercia. You’d love to have seen it and the fyrds he would have built


bobbis91

I now just want to hear Dyche call someone an Arseling...


RABB_11

"These modern warriors do my head in. We've got this lad Uhtred, from Northumbria, but keeps pretending he's a Dane until it matters and then he wants a call up to the Saxon army instead! He's laughing and joking with Ragnar in the tunnel, something definitely going on between him and Brida, but then in the cup semi final he absolutely smashed Ubba's lot. Wish he'd stop asking for a move back to Bebbanburg though."


shockzz123

Thorkell wouldn't stand a chance


Funkymonkeyhead

What would his war cry be as he has his men form a shield wall? "4-4-fooking-2!"


Stones_Throw_Away_

Would he be an Ancient Briton or an Anglo-Saxon though?


Possible-Highway7898

Where do you think his red hair came from? He would have been on the other team.


Megalomaniac697

I am beginning to see a pattern here. 44 games would surely have been a coincidence, but 45 are not.


donkey100100

I don’t know man. Give it one or two more games and then we can possibly rule out coincidence.


visope

Dyche is the head of the British Union of Footies


Glaiele

44 games, 2 teams... nah


JMatty01

Got to honour our victory over the Hun somehow #2WorldWars1WorldCup


IllegalDevelopment

The last time someone other than Dyche fileded 9+ English players was Eddie Howe in the last day of the 16/17 season, during a Leicester 1-1 Bournemouth.


Craizinho

Mad I wouldn't expect Dyche too be so on top of the paperwork side of the game adding to his file


didiandgogo

Newcastle started with 8 against Bournemouth this season and Matt Ritchie (who represented Scotland but is by any other definition an Englishman) came on after 31 minutes to make it 9, so it’s not like others have been a million miles away.


Thesecondorigin

Football eritage


boolshevik

Ginger Mourinho


RedDragons8

He's just a little big Sam when you think about it.


AltKite

Allardyce's teams were always very cosmopolitan. He was bringing foreign players to the Premier League before it was cool


TB97

Yeah they often fit a profile but definitely foreign. Big Sam did always say he was better suited to managing clubs line Madrid than Bolton


Thesecondorigin

Wenger type beat


pradeepkanchan

That was Big Sam's magic...find cheap players in Europe during January (back when UK was still in EU), use them to avoid relegation...become relegation king! After Brexit, he couldn't do use his January tactic (he voted for Brexit) and suddenly couldn't get cheap players from the continent...and suddenly West Brom got relegated, breaking his streak!


sbprasad

Dyche is clean. Both El Grande Samuele and Trrrffic “Crouchy, Jermaine Defoe and Niko Kranjčar” Wheeler-and-Dealer were dodgy and corrupt.


chrisycr

Oooh, care to elaborate


sbprasad

Big Sam only managed England for one game before having to resign due to a newspaper sting, right? Redknapp’s been involved in too many corruption scandals to list, look them up!


Swiss-ArmySpork

He's not a wheeler and dealer he's a fackin football manager!


nickxbk

Except much better lol


SalvationLost

The only TikkyTakka is what Dyche gets from the chippy with his pint of gravel


Away_Associate4589

chino17

Dyche just building the next England NT at Everton


mercut1o

He's angling for the job


foxyrocksjh

Unironically he'd be perfectly suited to national football


thore4

Well he already knows he's not gonna win anything


Therinn

InsaneLeeter

I mean it's basically England plus the rest lol


ethanmayes00

Sean Dyche is the cold rainy night in Stoke.


TheMuslimMGTOW

ive never read a statement so true


Andy-Martin

Dread it. Run from it. But you cannot escape it.


jd451

Where's that image of him walking around a snowlogged pitch? My guy took his suit jacket OFF in the blizzard.


Andy-Martin

In the list of “proper hard Premier League Managers”, he’s got to be at or near the top of the list.


sheikh_n_bake

I love Dyche, he's done a great job for years.


BigReeceJames

Honestly, what he's done this season hasn't been appreciated enough. They've been in a last day dash to avoid relegation for a while now. He's come in, taken an 8 point points deduction and had them safe of relegation with a few games to go. That's fucking nuts


mercut1o

He took a team that stayed up on the last day of the season, lost 4 starting 11 players from the win that kept us up (Coady, Mina, Gray, Iwobi), 8 points deduction(s), absentee manager, board staying away from games, chairman died, interim CEO after mass resignations and turned us into the 4th best defense in the league. Without the deduction we're above Brighton and only two wins from Chelsea in 8th. Our offense is dreadful and the team is thin on depth, injury prone, and imbalanced as can be, and yet there's an obvious platform to improve to consistently mid-table with minimal investment. He's looking like he might be able to wrench the club back to solvency as long as the payroll numbers continue to wind down, it's actually madness. He did an inverted Pep Guardiola- when your club is so broke and too incompetent to do crime to the degree that you dismantle the possession based work and move away from the former Barca players to implement a very compressed formation with a direct counter from a 442, but you succeed.


hotfordonuts

Dyche just need a little investment in his roster then his offense will be complete


TB97

He's done a great job in unlocking players that were underperforming


Andy-Martin

Always had a bit of a soft spot for him, honestly. The guy just gets on with his business.


DitkasMoustache_

You would think those with England related flairs would actually appreciate him playing English players in the lineup. Kind of confusing to me why he's just getting dunked on here.


SuvorovNapoleon

Because most people with English club flairs aren't English.


Zlakkeh

Thats fucking football right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball foosball fuck it chuck it game time shit. Football is back, baby


conman14

r/soccer comedians out in full force on this one


Mackieeeee

Brexit.


tastycakeman

means brexit


peterm18

Propa Brexit geeza


skull_issues

Dyche is unironically better than Pep


Lakinther

For relegation threatened teams definitely. Pep has never had to deal with that, maybe he could but maybe not. Its an entirely different skillset.


ThiefMortReaperSoul

This. The most 'perfect manager' will work in any club. But that is difficult to say. Just like Players, different Managers work on different environments and structures.


ltplummer96

To keep going to these clubs needing a massive reform and doing so then being mostly successful (even Europe) is incredibly impressive.


Far_Fisherman_7490

Loved his 16-17 burnley side


CaptainJingles

It is such an interesting case study. Pep is obviously brilliant, but has never managed a club without infinite resources. Would love to see how he performs with constraints.


TheRealMemeIsFire

Did fantastic with barca b


SirTunnocksTeaCake

You're not wrong but it was a single season in the semi pro fourth tier of Spain with players like Busquets, Pedro and others who went onto having decent careers as well as bringing in talent for I assume more money than most clubs could afford in that tier so I don't think it's exactly the same.


tmrss

Easy to think that in hindsight, none of those players were big names yet.


SirTunnocksTeaCake

No - not yet. But we still are talking about highly rated young professional players with lots of resources playing against what I assume are regional semi pro players. Ten of the Barca B team ended up playing in the first team to varying degrees the season after during their treble winning season - that's the quality they had to win the fourth tier which is why I don't think it's really a great comparison in the point OP was making.


tmrss

i dont think theyre comparible. I am not sure either manager would do all that good in each others position.


skull_issues

Dyche haram brexitball with Man City's budget would be the end of football

He should become England's next national team coach, no one has more experience fielding an English side than him.
