Don't get me wrong I want duchess gone but personnaly I don't think that has to be the first concern for the owners. For me the immediate priority needs to be the director of football position if we are sticking with therwell then get him on a new contract and start letting him do the job this jan we need to be looking to try to build the squad for next season and we won't be able to just sign for fees so need to be able to look at out of contract players and untill there is a clear plan for future progression we will just repeat previous mistakes we need to get organised in the sense of this is how we will play this is a manager that can play that style these are players that can play that style, this is the next manager we will bring in after who we have and allow rhe momentum to build. Sacking the dinosaur before the foundations are in place will just see another manager trying to pick the pieces with a squad of mixed managers players that don't complement each other.

Sorry, James, don’t agree. The DOF is a long term strategic position and requires careful consideration. The manager controls training and match days and this is what’s going to get us relegated. Thelwell’s contract is up in the summer anyway.

Get rid of dyche bring new man in won't solve the problem some of these players have seen of 5 managers off the whole corr of the place needs renewed from the academy up. the club doesn't compete to win anymore it's a try an survive mentality. there's no other club with a lower win rate than everton relegated clubs go down a division and start winning we just remain in the same league getting rolled every year we don't no how to win anymore and the odd Time we do we do alap of honour to celebrate.

Thellwell is as much to blame he too needs to go.

Forgive me for sounding unsure on this. Surely the job of the DOF is to find players that will enhance the squad and fit into a style of play as directed by the club. The role of the manager is to select from the players made available. For me the club needs to decide who is more important. The DOF or the manager. It's no good getting players in if the manager won't use them or plays them out of position. If they believe the DOF is long term then get rid of the manager and find someone who can work with the DOF. The problem with Dyche is he is old school and believes the manager knows best. Well he doesn't and he should go now this week.

There just has to be serious talks behind closed doors, these people are not stupid, investment needs protecting. Dyches methods are not working, his latest comment blaming the players should be a sack him marker.

Exactly Do the 2 speak about players or does Thelwell choose who we sign and SD decides they aren't premiership ready so doesn't even try them. ???? and who would even want to sign for us in January? Free transfers wanting a pay day or pay over the odds for players who probably wouldn't even inprove us as shocking as that sounds. then like others have said get a new manager who doesn't fancy these new signings because they want players with some ability and hunger and not 1s that just run. get rid of Dyche before the window opens for me. COYBS.

Agree ron mentioned to ed 001 few weeks ago about obrien an he reckons it was thelwell who bought him but dyche didn't want him and still refuses to play him i think tfk would be mad to give dyche any money to spend in January the manager and the dof are clearly not on the same path in regards to recruitment and this needs addressing my opinion i would sack him we have a great chance to stay up i do believe with a different manager and a different philosophy we can but dyche just keeps using the club as excuses yet saturday just showed him 10 players behind the ball lads let the opposition just keep coming at us and we will try an outcounter them and add a bit of dycheball with it Bournemouth next telling you we will let them dictate play woudnt be suprised if we lost.

I’m not singing Thelwell’s praises btw. I’m just saying that any immediate effect we want to see on the pitch will come from a change in manager.

I would only query Thelwell if his scouts are being told by him to look at 30 year old plus players. That is not how you build a team.
