Even if he was a total cunt at the end, it's an emotional game, and it's hard for anyone with a decent sized ego to accept the level of failure Dyche has been through this season. The line that the Friedkin Group "don't want to be seen as a soft touch" is bad briefing - you can be tough in negotiations without acting the hard case in OTR briefings. It's all pretty embarrassing, especially when they haven't even handled the incoming appointment with alacrity and imagination.
