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...

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.

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

Wilder has won two league games since his return.

Correct. Brentford being 1 & luton the other.

Are you sure that is correct ?

Jakub knows what he is talking about and is never wrong

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.

Thing is it's not the lads fault although he'll be a contributing factor why we get relegated it's the berk in charge for keep selecting him.

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.

Jakubclaret

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.

Jakubclaret

4yrs left on his deal We don’t know the wage/bonus terms of his deal and we don’t know termination part of his contract ie does he get lump sum upon dismissal We can assume that he’d be paid until he got a new job, like most managers are and that included Dyche Then there’s his staff In regards to ...

Jakubclaret

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'. There's a first time for everything & they'll be plenty of instances it's just not publicised - club keeps hold of manager ...

Jakubclaret

There's enough fans onside willing to give VK another crack next season so pace doesn't have to do anything & maybe even next season if things go according to plan he still doesn't need to do anything. I think VKs job is safe.

Jakubclaret

Some times deals break down despite the best intentions. What all 3? It should have been recognized just how important they was to the fabric of the team & more resources & effort should have gone into getting them maybe not all 3 but at least 1. Instead a significant amount went on a goalkeeper wh...

He’s already won the Championship. How many managers in the efl that have been doing in for years have never done that

Not many but then again they haven't had the sort of loans like THB & maatsen & Nathan tella. If we are using that as a yardstick let's tell the full story.

Jakubclaret

No, yes, yes, no. Wharton should have had an early bath everything else was done by the book, mateta never made contact when the ball traveled through had he have done it would have been offside unfortunately onside, the vitinho was harsh but a pen it was clumsy franca had already lost control so wh...

I don’t like this argument about the quality of the Championship: it’s always a high standard. However, it’s the quality on show in the Premier League each and every progressive season, which is just getting greater. The difference is chasm-like. This is a fabulous game but both teams would be slau...

I have no real views about the owners ,however you can’t get away from the fact that they can walk away tomorrow and leave us with nothing but an horrendous debt that would probably see the end of BFC as we know it. I agree. it's different if it's a personal debt it's that persons responsibility to...

But will still probably end the season with the same outcome as us.

I do give credit for the way he handled Lyle Foster - I thought that was classy and it's a major plus point.

It was you that started the thread. I'm guessing you wanted people to react. If you don't like people disagreeing, then don't post such contentious stuff. I've nothing against Rodriguez btw. I don't know him personally, but I'm sure he still loves playing for the club. I just think his best years a...

Would you want to play for the manager that dropped you in a heartbeat once we made it to the Prem? Even when you improved throughout the season and got Championship Keeper of the Season! What more can you do? I doubt I would give my all in that situation. I would want to be off ASAP. While he keep...

Jakubclaret

Dyche was widely reported to be on 100k a week in his final contract with Burnley - I find it hard to believe that after winning the Championship last season, Kompany signed a deal for less than what his predecessor was paid. So yes, I would expect VK to be earning something north of 100k per week....

Jakubclaret

With this horrific season it's difficult to work out how anybody or anything can be described as a success anything but. Some players on odd occasions fleetingly have done slightly better than their counterparts if you are being generous.

Jakubclaret

so youre saying if we sacked him we would have no money left, no operating income, no nothing? dont be daft Of course not. What I'm actually saying is sacking him would be a very very last resort & only when all other options had been exhausted. The club just don't have the money to sack him on a w...

it would cost a few million to get rid, drop in the ocean in the grand scheme of things. clubs dont keep managers because they cannot afford to sack them. certainly one as fortunate as ours. & the backroom staff & what are we going to pay the next manager & his backroom staff with? Brass tacks. He'...

I seriously doubt they can't afford to sack him if they wanted to. The COO was on Radio Lancashire last week saying he had the safest job in the 92, that sounds pretty comfortable to me. Probably could but they'd be plunging themselves further into the sh1t & don't you think financially they are de...

Jakubclaret

I would have thought if ALK thought there was a financial catastrophe looming with 1-2 years in the Championship then Kompany would have been long gone. They don't appeared to be fazed by relegation which suggests to me they think we can absorb the impact (with the caveat we'd need to get back up s...

I don’t disagree with your reasoning, I agree. But it’s not a fact, and I disagree with you about that.

You clearly haven’t read my post properly, have you? I don’t want VK out and I never said McKenna was a better manger than VK.

Yes it’s Groundhog Day.
