The more I think about it, the more I believe Sean Dyche could be the best available choice to take over as manager at Leicester City. And if we trust reports on the subject, there is a chance of the former Burnley and Everton boss coming to King Power Stadium. In fact, the possibility of Dyche becoming the latest Leicester gaffer has actually increased somewhat of late.
Will Ruud van Nistelrooy be dismissed before the start of the upcoming campaign? Probably. If so, will the Kettering-born man succeed the Dutchman? And why are the Foxes hierarchy taking so long deliberating over the matter? LCFC must have organisation before the Championship season begins.
Likelihood of Sean Dyche becoming new Leicester City manager drastically increased judging by developments and speculation
Would the Blue Army welcome Dyche in general? Good question. I think the Leicester fan base certainly relishes stability so would welcome a steadily captained ship. Though the effervescence attributed to other managers would be lacking a bit with that installation.
Entertainment and high scoring tallies aside, all Dyche must really do is get Leicester back to the Premier League. When that stage is reached, we could then possibly worry about his suitability 'going forward', if you excuse the pun.
If Dyche theoretically guided Leicester back to the EPL to start with, the fairly successful ex-Clarets and Toffees head coach would arguably help City stay there. Basically, that is our solitary ambition at the moment. Reasonably and reportedly, only insufficient funding connected to PSRs is stopping LCFC act on the van Nistelrooy situation.
Contrary to populal belief, Dyche is proficient in assembling, or reassembling, a combative and competitive squad. He'd suffer no silly moral compunction about ridding LCFC of unwanted and undesirable talent either.
Current odds
Though, most of all, the 53-year-old is the type of person who'd get the best out of the existing, underperforming roster. Evidently judging by the Bookmakers' most recent odds, the likelihood of Dyche coming to Leicester is improving.
A trio of candidates recently dropped out of the race too. Therefore Dyche is now the second favourite at 9/4 to join City behind Sheffield Wednesday's Danny Rohl.
