I don't know how old you are but I remember the days of Stuart keeping you up and how bad Everton, Spurs and Newcastle were circa 97 and we all floated above the relegation zone. How would you compare the chances this time round?

About the same, and we only stayed up by goal difference. That was not a fun season.
 
Well, I may be whistling in the dark here, but if there's one thing Dyche is good at it's making teams stubborn. I know plenty on here don't like him, but he worked with what he had at Burnley. And he did very well. Just got a feeling they're going to make life difficult for the Arse.
Still whistling in the dark, as you see…
 
Dyche got sacked during the relegation run in last season. Lampard just managed to keep Everton up. Not much of an upgrade.

As good a record as any other Everton manager recently.
A club like Burnley staying in the epl for as long as they did was a great achievement no matter how you look at it.
If he gets Everton to finish 4th bottom mission accomplished.
Who else should they have got to try and save them.
I'm no fan of Dyche but he did a great job at Burnley bar last season.
Who knows he might have saved them if he did not leave.
Doubtful but you never know.
 
It is still a blind panic move from Everton for me. Bielsa wouldn't of been much better to be honest but Everton would of got relegated with a bit more excitment in their style of play

The Wimbledon game is the one that always gets mentioned but I was more nervous with the Coventry game in 98 when we only stayed up on goal difference. 18 months later Johnson sold the club to Kenwright and the rest is history

I think it’s an appointment that gives them a good chance of staying up. Long term planning can begin next season

I’ll reserve judgement until he can prove this by getting a result against Le Arse on Sat…
 
I quite like Dyche. Kept Burnley in the Premier League on a diet of nails, wood, bricks and glass, and a ten pound transfer budget. A gruff, honest geezer, an every man.

Championship football in a shiny new , smelly stadium, does it get any better?

I remember it nearly happened to us. 2 places above the drop zone in our first season in shiny, new stadium. We’d have likely still been down there now, hoping to get someone like Dyche and imagining the last 15 years would likely get you sectioned…
Never forget and never take it for granted.
 
My guess is that Dyche will just about keep them up by sheer bloody-minded, all hands to the pumps football. They will then be in the same situation as now by next November, at which time the circus will start all over again. Fans demonstrating, Board staying away, Moshiri open letter to fans, etc etc.

The club seems to be in chaos from top to bottom.
