Part 2/6:
The announcement confirming Dyche's departure was made in a club statement, which outlined that Dyche would be relieved of his duties as senior men's first team manager, effective immediately. Along with Dyche, several key staff members, including Ian W, Steve Stone, Mark Howard, and Billy Mercer, also left the club. The timing of this sacking, especially so close to a game, has raised eyebrows, but the decision to part ways was not shocking to many who had observed the club's performance and results.
