His net worth is about $60m apparently.

theres nothing to say we couldnt sign assignon while in the championship, whether we could afford or if he would want to come is a different story

It was mentioned in numerous places he’d only be available if we weren’t relegated. Like Fofana, he’ll be gone in May.

Much has been written about VK as director of football if we did do that who is a good fit for manager ?

Quite literally never seen that once

Muric isn’t the reason we don’t score goals

Without his clanger we wouldn’t have lost today.

Yes this season we haven’t scored enough goals despite often looking a threat.

Holtyclaret

Over is perhaps the wrong word, but after 15 games the damage may already be done and result in falling well behind. In addition, any new manager, and I know it’s not going to happen, would be left with another managers signings to motivate. Does not every manager in a new post, it’s the job they a...

Muric didn’t lose us the match, we had one shot on target in 97 minutes

He quite literally did.

Problem is, give him that long and if we need to get rid the season could well be over. It’s a conundrum but he’s not going anywhere, the board are star struck.

46 game season will be over after 10-15 games?

Holtyclaret

Esteve looks a good signing .Don't forget OShea got panned early season and now one of our best players. Fofana looks quality and we need to move for a permanent deal.We don't want a repeat of the Tella fiasco were dithering lost us a top player . Assignon is developing well and looks worth a bid T...

The U21s have a qualifier on Tuesday night playing at Bolton .. seems a strange move to take him out of a qualifier to sit on the bench
in a meaningless friendly ..

It’d give u21’s chance to look at another keeper as Traff is 21 now and also gives him experience of senior squad.

McNally has done well on loan so why ditch him?

Too far down the pecking order now.

Did ok at Coventry (they decided to buy Bobby Thomas ahead of him) and at Stoke the boo boys are after him.

Holtyclaret

It may seem trivial but there is a serious point. Serious people dress appropriately and the attire of leaders sets a tone for the organization as a whole. A manager wearing a crisp white shirt and a tie in club colours, for example, - sends a clear message and sets a tone and standard. We currentl...

Usually deals are done so they don’t have to pay them up. Wasn’t it Man U who were paying for about five managers at the same time? What we do know is that it would be very costly to sack him as it was when Sean Dyche was sacked. Absolutely, it wouldn’t be cheap but isn’t ’unaffordable‘ by any stre...

Football is quite unique with the amounts of money that's exchanged & the nuances of complex contracts that's before we start off with our fragile finances. You haven't heard about it because it's not really the kind of thing that's broadcast publicly. Company takes to street booming on a loud tann...

It's extremely debatable even if 100% of the fans wanted him out whether it'd be financially possible/viable for that to happen. Push come to shove it probably would with taking more debt on & that seems to be the order of the day to finance anything under the ALK model. About 20 times you’ve said ...

Holtyclaret

From what I can remember reading, VK’s package last season was £2.5m pa upgraded to circa £4.5m pa now (similar to Dyche before he left). It’d be a damn sight cheaper to sack him as a championship manager assuming he returns to champ salary following relegation. Some of the ideas on this thread that...

About four times that needed and that's just for him.

I like them a lot, Matt and Vincent alike, but every word of this post feels true. It also rubbishes some of the silly comments on the thread last week who were defending the club being so evasive. “lyle has a hernia”, now how difficult was that to say, especially when we are all so panicky about h...

Holtyclaret

The fact Matt is prepared to share something we did not know, shows that player confidentiality is not an issue. For me VK is a control freak and likes to keep info to himself, plus vey cagey. It will backfire as I am witnessing fan support for him diminishing weekly It’s quite clear he speaks unde...

I was told months ago that VK had money tied up in the Trafford deal … City have a buy back clause of triple what they paid for him, meaning VK would make a profit of 300% on the deal .. That’s why he doesn’t get dropped and keeps defending him ! Of course people will try to say I’m wrong & he can’...

Are people starting to believe the information that I heard at the start of the season yet?

When fit, contractually, Trafford has to start!

There’s nothing else that can explain why Kompany won’t drop him.

No, managers chosen his number one and is sticking with him. Rightly or wrongly.

Is he? My bad thank, you for the correction

Holtyclaret

He’s 21 and still developing. A good loan is best all round, he needs games.

Still 4 years on his contract (I think) and still very much our player.

Hope he keeps banging them in.

Holtyclaret

Burnley have thus far conceded 55 goals, the worst defensive record apart from bottom club Sheffield United. VK may well have an impressive record as a player but the stats are telling us that he has problems organising a defensive structure to provide a solid base at Burnley F C. I was addressing ...

The problem is does VK understand that at the age of most of the team was he good enough to play against world class players every week the answer is no doubt NO so he shouldn’t be expecting inexperienced players to learn their trade in the PL and get results at the same time not to mention follow ...

Holtyclaret

Net spend 50m, gross spend a lot more fuelled by selling a handful of PL quality players for decent money. Kompany inherited a nucleus of experienced PL players, one of whom in Barnes he revived, one in Jay he revived for half a season- Jay, Barnes, Cork, Lowton (dropped), Gudmundsson, Brownhill, T...

Holtyclaret

Again like comparing apples to pears. Not even remotely similar situations. Relegation following promotion (with a fair chance of a swift return). Pretty much identical I’d suggest unless you’re slanting towards VKs allowed net spend of circa £50m over four windows as opposed to Dyche who had two b...

I wasn't even aware Dyche had failed in his first prem year. At the time it seemed we'd made good signings and put out a competitive team.

We were relegated weren’t we? Generally considered failure, like this season.

I don’t get your logic at all.

You’re saying no thanks to managers with considerably better records than VK.

Serious question are you only a fan because of who he is?

I can’t think of any logical reason you would want him

Did you want Dyche out when he failed in his first prem year?

Holtyclaret

We have discussed this before & you failed to answer this question so I'll ask you it again. who would take kompany on? Bearing in mind it'd have to be tempting enough for him to forfeit any severance allowances meaning a bigger club than us would need to come in for him. Yes it’s Groundhog Day. Vk...

Holtyclaret

Precisely. it would take eye watering astronomical sums to see the back end of him & his entourage. A) irrelevant as he isn’t going anywhere B) he would only be paid until he starts a new role, which wouldn’t be long C) £3.5m a year I think he’s on (low in terms of epl managers) D) if you worry so ...

Holtyclaret

Been thinking about this. He may get us up next season but it’s a big ‘may’. He won’t be any better at managing at this level next time around imo. He’s not learning basic things from week to week now. Completely naive and out of his depth at this level Dyche was a fantastic championship manager, f...

Holtyclaret

You can see it now though, he comes back in against Arsenal it's blatantly obvious what he offers but we understandable lose and all the pro Trafford fans will come out saying to drop him for Trafford. Yaaaawn I think you’ll find ‘pro Trafford fans’ are just Burnley fans that back the team our mana...

Considerably more than that and (I think) quite exciting.

It will delay announcing next years st plans, certainly for one stand.

Like many (I assume), I cannot get my head around what is going on with the lad. Many times early in the season we were crying out for his ability to set fire to a game but it was said he had some niggles and that’s why he wasn’t being played. Then he showed up on the bench for a bit disappeared ag...

We’ve used 13 different defence combinations including starting with 6 unique combinations in the last 8 games, plus a different defence starting each half of the game against Fulham.

Rather than making more changes, what we need to do is settle on a formation and starting 11 and stick with it. Have we played the same 11 in consecutive league games this season?

Trafford will be with us for the next two or three years at least (like Ramsay), probably best to see what he’s worth then I’d guess rather than speculate now for something that’s not going to happen.
