Dyer doesn't want to be our manager anymore 14:54 - Dec 2 with 4359 viewsFrimleyBlue




Yes on one part he did deserve the chance.
But also... it made sense a manager with actual experience took on the role. Didn't Mcgreal also bring in a coach who is now part of our first team set up?

Although it’s sad to hear, I don’t think Dyer could achieve what McKenna has and will achieve in the coming years.

I hope Dyer gets well soon and can get a coaching role somewhere else who will appreciate him.

Reading the quotes probably provides us with a good idea as to why he wasn't suitable for the role. Sadly.

I'll be frank, I don't any of that reflects well on Kieron at all.

I get why he was upset at being overlooked at the time, but several times now he has thrown his toys out about it, and I think it doesn't show him as having a good temperament at all.

Great player and all that, but as I said at the time he wears his heart on his sleeve and and is far too emotional to be suited to being a football manager.

Even saying now that he never wants to manage us doesn't reflect well on him as ownership changes but it's still the same club.

Think he's entitled to feel aggrieved about being overlooked for McGreal for the caretaker role. He'd only just got his foot in the door and leapfrogged Dyer. That must leave a sour taste in the mouth.

I can understand why he felt he had to go, although I would have liked to see what McKenna would have done with him over time. Probably a bit hot-headed as ultimately McGreal was never going to get the job full time, but I can sympathise with him.

I love Dyer, firstly.

That said, it doesn't look great from him.

We were a pure mess when Cook left; you can see why the club wanted some experience in.

I suppose Dyer might've improved the performances against Charlton and Barrow (god knows, they couldn't have been much worse), but there's clearly not a lot of love lost between him and Ashton; two very strong personalities.

That said, he was right about Humphries, who looks ace.

All a bit sad really.

Yeah I can see why he was pissed off - was doing well with the U23s alongside Butcher, Butcher gets removed from the role for the (highly dubious-sounding) reason of there not being a role for him, McGreal is suddenly given the job, Cook is sacked and Dyer is overlooked - but he's been far too overemotional about things since.

His comments about the academy seemed a bit premature, even if again you could sympathise with his point of view, and whilst I can understand why he wanted to do it (and it was interesting), immediately doing a 'tell-all' interview with statman wasn't particularly smart either.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

I think he needs to go and work somewhere else where he's less emotionally invested. Good for his development and career.

I don't think he's doing anyone any favours coming out with stuff like this, especially when we're flying high it's very difficult to make any sort of a case that Ashton and co got the handling of Cook / McGreal / McKenna too wrong.

Well in my humble opinion Dyer is deluding himself. He has zero senior manager experience and certainly not at this level. What planet is he on think he could step in and do that job here. He left this club to go and get managerial experience. He does nothing for over a year. He should have been apply8mg for jobs in league two or lower to start t9 get that experience. …..I’m not convinced applying for the tv show “ celebrity SAS” qualifies on a post entail league one managers CV.

Right now , he needs to concentrate on getting well ( hoping he gets his transplant soon), then maybe he can apply for a few jobs lower down the leagues.and start to build his managerial experience.

Think that's more than a little unfair. He's not really been in a position to apply for manager's jobs since he left Town due to his liver condition, although is in a better position to do so now. Celebrity SAS was filmed during lockdown.

Agreed, he's certainly not been able, health wise, to put himself in contention for jobs.

However, this constant sniping and bitter comments about the club are starting to wear thin, I get he feels aggrieved but we have all felt hard done by in jobs and you have to just get on with life.

He would do well to keep a dignified silence, get some decent experience in coaching and work his way into a job.

Yeah, as much as it would have been great to give him the opportunity, a pattern is developing of him making rash and unwise decisions - quitting his role and then turning up wearing a Humphreys shirt being a good example. Even on I'm a Celebrity remember him suddenly announcing that he was leaving the show before being quickly talked out of it. It came across as a bit dismissive of McGreal, which in fairness was more down to True Geordie than Dyer.

Although with that being said, I can understand why Dyer may be particularly annoyed considering at having to deal with another setback. Having had a traumatic upbringing, a career hampered by injuries, health issues while in his 40s and now experiencing difficulties getting a manager's job despite a good coaching record, he has a right to think that he's been dealt a tough hand.

It's a little different as KMc doesn't have the profile to do those sorts of thing. KD was offered the chance to do the SAS thing at a time he wasn't doing anything at Town and the True Geordie thing is a Newcastle thing he's done a few times, I think.

I just think if you're that desperate to get into football management, then you put all your efforts into going down that route, not going on constant reality shows and shock jock YouTube podcasters.

Given his contacts within football how has he not managed to find anything more than an U18's gig at his local club?

As I say, understand his frustrations at the time of Cooks sacking, but unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world and life isn't fair.

Being around the professional game as long as Dyer was I would've thought he knew how cutthroat football was and sentiment counts for nothing. Does he intend to stay in football on the coaching side. If so he should've proved himself as a manager somewhere and I'm certain his chance would've come here. If I loved Ipswich that much that is why I would strive for. I'm hoping the stress of the last couple of years is the reason for his negative views of the club he claims, or did, to love , and he goes on to have a great career. It's sad it has come to this especially when the club don't seem to have done anything wrong.

He has had other roles he could have taken and has spent a fair amount of time at other clubs gaining experience, at Anderlecht with Vincent Kompany, with Mogga and also with England.

Since leaving said nothing positive depite him being a part of it.

Probably better for him to not manage us ever if he is that emotionally attached to the club anyway!
