Thoughts on Dyche?

Ruthless, but necessary. Last 2 seasons did well under difficult circumstances - this season seemed to have run out of ideas.

In the previous match, to have no shots on goal, is a disgrace.

I like the guy. Always good interviews. Unfortunately he's the kind of manager that brings a team from 17th to 12th.

[–] AndyKing1967 (39226) 8 days ago

He’s not been great this season.

I don't like either of them. I guess I'll go with Redford.

[–] samoanjoes (57758) 8 days ago

I can't think of a film either of them did that I truly liked.

[–] Stratego (30818) 8 days ago

Me neither. I recall finding Quiz Show interesting enough when I saw it years ago, so that's why I go with Redford. And Beatty just rubs me the wrong way.

Redford, no contest

[–] CaptBeefBlower (334) 8 days ago

Beatty, but just for Bulworth. There's not much in it.

[–] BobbyNiner (441) 8 days ago

Bobby wins easily.

Robby Red

Redford.

"The Legend Of Bagger Vance" could very well be my all-time favorite movie, so Robert Redford for me also.

[–] samoanjoes (57758) 8 days ago

Could Rannulph beat Shooter McGavin though?

[–] GolfnGuitars (3035) 7 days ago

That would be one heck of a match! If Mr. Larson were kept away from the course, then I think Shooter just might have a shot! 😃
