You seem to be saying we can't afford to sack him.

Is that because of the money we've squandered this season or as well as?

You could say that & it wouldn't have helped. Quite a clever strategy when you think about it spend all the dosh so there's not enough to pay you out

I wouldn't expect him to.

You said VK should change jobs. Either he walks away with something or he stays. What you are proposing doesn't make sense.

Not for the first time, I've no idea what you're talking about.

He won't be walking away with nothing.

Thankfully you changed that job.

VK should do the same. I don't want him to learn by failing any more, thanks all the same.

You must have £20 mil probably north as a rough estimate spare knocking around as loose change.

Jakubclaret

According to some on here in the not too recent past he was destined for the dizzy heights managing man city. The sensible 1s called the crap out & said just wait let's see how he does this season first.

Jakubclaret

A bit embarrassing I agree but if Burnley are aiming at being a yo yo club then it doesn’t really matter I suppose. That served west brom well for awhile it's been a few years now in the wilderness. You just aren't guaranteed to keep bouncing back I think more than a few people will be in for a sho...

Jakubclaret

I'd hardly call the loss of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha "getting away with it" granted they'd be in a far better position if he was still alive for sure. He cared about the club far more than the other members of the family.

Jakubclaret

It's possible. But realistically Kompany is a very rich man. He spent multiple seasons on an eight figure salary and he could do that again if his managerial career is successful and he ends up at Man City. Is he going to endanger his ambition in order to get a bit of commission on a player sale? I...

Indeed. It's frightening what we ended up with though

at this level anyhow.

West Ham in the top half didn't run them close.

Although not top half palace got a good hiding as well. arsenal are a top team.

Going well tonight

Wilders still got more points than Kompany since being reappointed.

They’ve lost their last 2 home games 5-0

I'm on about the points accrued since he took over. Isn't it something like 2 wins & a draw 7pts that's over half we've accrued all season & he didn't start the season.

A few on here would be celebrating, including yourself.

It makes no odds either way to me we are both going down too far adrift imo.

They haven't had a heavier defeat since

They have significantly improved performance wise since heckingbottom although the results could have been better. Wilders actually gained more points than Kompany since being reappointed on a game by game comparison.

Jakubclaret

It must feel like an almighty consolation to some people to be reassured that we aren't the worst team in the PL heaven forbid how people will react if they get any sort of result tonight against arsenal & in doing so dump as down at the bottom.

Jakubclaret

I don't know about turning on each other it might be more productive turning on the players & on another thread you have people applauding the players even after playing poorly & people actually wonder why things are in a mess.

Jakubclaret

Another on the gravy train best filed alongside the rest.

Jakubclaret

I suppose I'm placing more focus on it than I should do to be fair - I acknowledge that. That's because every time I come on this messageboard - which is much less than I used to because I'm sick to death of half a dozen posters on here who don't even go to games - I see the same few posters regurg...

Jakubclaret

Yes because some posters when we don’t win or get a decent draw blame the referee or VAR for defeat when clearly the team we keep starting with and substitutes like Jay Rod brought on sometimes in stoppage time Our goal was correctly disallowed for a foul and the VAR check for an early second half ...

Jakubclaret

I'll give everybody a 5 apart from Cullen & Berge & vitanio I'd rate as a 7 & I'd drop to a 4 for o'shea. Complete garbage really & the 1s that weren't were average or slightly above.

Jakubclaret

While he's sat on that nice big fat contract he's going nowhere of his own volition & it's an idea people better get used to.

He had to come out and save a 1v1 didn't he?

Apart from that we simply weren't clinical. Bereft of confidence in our finishing. We created the chances though.

Maybe another odd chance it wasn't like he was being overworked. Chance creation it looked evenish but yet again a way was found.

Jakubclaret

I don't we was unlucky at all I can't remember Neto having anything to do apart from the free kick. In terms of possession we had the lions share but didn't do much with it. It never looked like we would score & Bournemouth just held their shape & picked us off at will & looked more threatening with...

The stay side might not want the poll to run till the end of the season with good reason.

Understand that Goobs.
Might be wrong, but as far as I know, he didn't ask to leave.
We wanted the money!

A small matter of bumper pay rise must have surely entered the equation at some point. It benefitted both parties no doubt.

Jakubclaret

Dead easy Vinny , stop playing total duds every game and expecting a different result. Hows about showing some loyalty to the players that actually got you in this league, just a thought.....

It’s a multi million £ business and should be run as such That’s what he’s doing He doesn’t need to be a football man, because the majority of footballing decisions aren’t being made by him Well maybe that's where he's going wrong we wouldn't have a thread about a failing experiment or staring down...

Jakubclaret

He's not a football man as such. What could he say that would satisfy you and his critics. We all know that mistakes have been made, but we also know that Pace and VK are on a long term project that has had a problematic season following an excellent season. The long term aim remains the same, to b...

Jakubclaret

At the moment we are being out everything completely inferior in just about every department!

Jakubclaret

Performance for me because that within itself will encourage good results it's unlikely that the result will come about off the back of a poor performance unless the other team are equally as bad & don't show up.

Jakubclaret

I think there's a lot of sensitivity apparent when other teams are doing reasonably well it's almost natural for some people to find fault to deflect away from our shortcomings.

Jakubclaret

So:- 1. Multiple claims of rule breaching were alleged. 2. The allegations were admitted, but 3. There was an appeal based upon the sentencing applied to the admitted breaches. 4. The appeal was based on nine points, seven of which were thrown out. The claimants succeeded on only two points. 5. The...

You've got somebody who doesn't want to listen when more or less most of the fanbase can see & identify the same old problems & 1 person refuses to something isn't right.

Jakubclaret

Nonsense. We are getting relegated because we had to be stripped to the bone in May 2022 because of Everton and the Premier League, and even investing as much money as we could we couldn’t close the gap that arose because of that initial behaviour. Evidence - Forest without a points deduction (yet)...

Jakubclaret

Completely agree with this. Straight relegation is the only way to stop financial cheating. This is barely a slap on the wrist; fortunately it probably benefits us. You need proportionate punishments & straight relegation would be too harsh. Lots of clubs will be at it but some will have better acc...

Since Wilder's reappointment, Sheff Utd have won 1 and drawn 2.
Burnley have won 1 and drawn 3 in that time.
Same number of games so "like for like" we are, and I know it's not much but it suffices to prove your mistake, one point up on them in that time.

Yes my mistake

It's not a case of being right or wrong it boils down to his record since returning back to Sheffield United & you might not like to hear it but he's outperforming VK.

A few wins early next season and the whingers will soon be changing their tune.
Personally, I'd rather they stay away as they claim they will.

The europhia of beating say stevenage at home will be tantalising it's a scalp I'm really looking forward to.

Jakubclaret

It's a simple case of VK honouring his word to Trafford before Trafford arrived I believe he asked for reassurances that the number 1 spot would be his & he was reassured it would be.

Jakubclaret

As you’d expect - new guy in and we’ve been diabolical. And yet they’re still below us. What’s the difference in results, a point or something? Hardly suggests long term success but who knows. It's not just results the performances generally speaking have been better so you are looking at 2 positiv...

Can only imagine the reaction on here from the likes of you if a new manager came in and had two 5-0 defeats at home in the space of three matches.

Wilders got a better record than VK since returning.

Jakubclaret

Wilder since returning will have a better record than VK in a like for like comparison. The only reason they are on the same points tally as us is because heckingbottom stayed too long & wilder didn't go there sooner

Does anyone actually know what The Project is and how long it’s supposed to take?

We’re going to be two years into it come the summer and be exactly where Vincent started - heading to the Championship and a huge rebuild needing to be done.

It's project full circle from start to finish.

It's probably in keeping with everything else that's going on at the moment. It's perceived in some circles as 1 big joke & it shouldn't come as any real shock to anybody if people laugh or smile. The place is turning into a circus.

I can't think of one instance in the history of football where a club in a death spiral withheld from sacking their manager for the very reason that they 'couldn't afford it'.
