Defenders like Tarky and Mee shone in our team because they were top class defenders. There wasn't many better centre back pairings in the Premier League. We had a top class defensive set up, with a deep lying midfield and defensive wingers who all contributed to clean sheets. That’s always been th...

Class A offence well done. Haha look at the table it clearly shows how flawed it is

It shows how unpredictable football is in that stats can say all they do but only thing that matters is actual goals.

Like you I find it hard to believe that the release clause is so low. If, for instance, he was to stay will us and had a tremendous season helping us to regain our PL status we would still have to let him go for 20m when a team came in for him. Just seems wrong.

Release clause on relegation?

Row Z

They need an experienced sub keeper, we need a #1 and he’d have been a contender for that. I assume we’ll have charged them whatever it will cost us to get Muric/our main target. Essentially we’ll get a younger keeper on lower wages for similar money would be my guess. Some will view that as good b...

£10M or £12M, we’ve been robbed. Would be interesting to be a fly on the wall for negotiations. I heard that Newcastle were the only club interested in him, but if that’s the case is it sentiment that has led us to accept a low bid for such a loyal servant? Surely if nobody was paying our valuation...

Forest and Newc the only possibles now for him

West Ham? They don’t seem to be big on playing from the back which would suit NP.

Phil Bird has tweeted the next Blackpool boss is Simon Grayson

Think he may have been duped…

Let’s hope the club are planning a week of positive announcements to fill the fan base with optimism.

New manager, decent team of staff, few new signings, contract extensions to retain some PL experience… all nerves will be settled.

Row Z

Strange as many assistants move to take the No1 job, as the previous Villa assistant has done, rather than give one up to go back to being an assistant. Can only think he’s getting a big uplift and has taken Blackpool as far as he thought he could, but did a very good job there and undoubtedly could...

The talk about the gambles and risk... the Alan Pace is hopeless at it. What risk has worked out for Burnley Football Club under this lot?

I'm genuinely the most excited I've been since the last time I was genuinely excited - it was that long ago I don't even remember !

Really hope it’s not Kompany, stinks of more Pace ‘optics’ razzmatazz over pragmatic substance. Third in a two horse race and the guy is just bizarre.

They could have a real go next season. Borrow more money, get back into the PL, sell the club at a profit - the owners are happy. Borrow more money, fail to get back into the PL, club goes bust or plummets down the leagues - the owners are no worse off than they are now. I don't think the debts and...

In the second half, Jackson could have played Collins at centre half and Roberts at right back, but preferred Long at centre half and Collins at right back. It's a strange choice. My thoughts exactly on the day. Thought Roberts must have picked up a knock, as surely you’d want him bombing forward r...

Row Z

Still sounds like Kompany is thinking about it I think in terms of contacts and profile, we could do a lot worse Based on what information? I saw that Anderlecht played Sunday but missed out on a champions league qualification place, so have to go through Europa league qualifying. Wonder if that fa...

Always seems to have done well at any side he’s been at. I know a north end fan who said it got abit stale there for him but he had very limited funds and kept them well away from any trouble. Not the most free flowing.

Row Z

Arguably he did find the formula v Brighton and Spurs but then went and lost it again. Why he changed that winning team (or more specifically the midfield pairing) will always be baffling. Agreed. We always knew he had a stubborn mentality for certain players returning to the side and retaining the...

Never quite seen anything like Raya ( ex rovers) GK donating Leeds a goal and then laughing about it. Very strange

Colleague of mine commented on Brentford’s lack of desire to win.. I was on the Turf so didn’t see any of it.

Even this season, if you reckon 'players had stopped playing for him and it had all gone a bit stale'.. he still had us exactly where our wage bill and expenditure suggests we should be. It's just that he'd set the bar ludicrously high. The suggestion is that his stubbornness potentially caught up ...

No experience apart from Man City and Forest

Massively successful periods for both clubs…

Doesn’t fit the mould and wouldn’t be a progressive appointment, plus no experience of being the main man. Maybe one for rovers?

We will not see Ben again if he felt the need to do that.His way of telling us just after yesterday Don’t agree… he’s hurting as much as the fans and hasn’t committed either way on that video. We all know Tarks is off but he hasn’t confirmed yet either. Now is not the time for either but all will b...

Jesus Christ, we’ve been relegated for less than 24 hours. Get a grip people. Exactly this.

Some absolute idiots in the Longside Lower yesterday jumping up and down "celebrating" and actually arguing with me that Brentford were 2-1 up when I knew, from Radio 5 in an earpiece, that it was 1-1. Also saw the woman walking around the pitch signalling 2-1 with her fingers. WTF !!! This is the ...

Bobby Thomas was always highly rated by Dyche (who to be fair has picked up a number of good CBs). Bobby Thomas has also played and scored in a few cup games so could be ready to step up further if Ben stays and can’t play twice per week.

Yes if this is confirmed, that'll be Cork and Jay signing new contracts when both are 33, where is the promised youth, we're in danger of continuing a failed policy of keeping players past their best, and if we do keep Cork. Jay and Mee, that has to be balanced by recruiting youth and pace, which i...

People do invest in sides outside the premier league… given our recent history you’d argue we are likely a more attractive proposition than a large percentage of championship clubs.

He could just sell all the assets, not renew any contracts, play the U23s , use the parachute to pay off the debt. Clear off.

If you're spot fixing you don't take your first yellow card celebrating your goal. It's not exactly something you can agree a set time for.

Doesn’t have to be related to time, just to bookings.

Row Z

Interesting that Watford didn’t go for a name but had to drop down the divisions for their next boss.. change in their recruitment strategy or lack of options (maybe both)

Row Z

Indeed. I'd assumed 3 at the back as the missus read the team news as we came in from Gannow roundabout. After 5 mins I realised it was 442 with Roberts forward. This despite Roberts not really offering any previous real evidence of being a prolific chance creator further forward. I guess he didn't...

I don’t get the acceptance of Kompany link. He’s done nothing at Anderlect and it’s very very inexperienced in management and coaching. Barton and Duff have been written off for experience but arguably they’ve got more than Kompany. Profile, character, intelligence, experience, background, record s...

Row Z

Did his best and gave us a great chance. Players obviously bought in to his methods. Didn’t agree with many of the shouts to give him the job but he’d have been a hero had he achieved it.

Row Z

Definitely got booed in the second half when he went down with cramp in front of the Jimmy Mac. Saw that and don’t think many knew it was trippier to be fair, just saw a player down. He waved at the Jimmy Mc apologetically and to be fair he was up before their other player even looked like moving.

Row Z

Doesn’t feel like he’s in a position to make massive demands of the club with him likely having limited options. He’d certainly start for us and give us a solid CB pairing of him and Collins (if Collins isn’t sold!)

Massive blow.

Lot of suggestion at Villa last Thursday that it would be Kompany should we stay up.

I’d heard similar and the bookies seemed to follow this.

Think he’d certainly have been a name to attract some players.

Very limited options it would seem!

Row Z

Not sure why it would rule out Rooney who has just been managing in the championship and has been relegated to League One. Kompany is different as he’s in the top Belgian league so will be pushing European competition. Irrespective it’s a massive appointment and whoever comes in needs to shape a ful...

If you use your arms to jump, they should go in the opposite direction to where you want to jump. Which is usually up, hence the arms come down at the end. It's basic fundamentals of momentum.

McNeil was playing right of the 3 in the middle - fact is if he’s aligned with the other two in the still I posted instead of idling back Buendia doesn’t even attempt his run.

Buendia started behind McNeil and saw all that space there that was created by McNeil not being in position and then actually not tracking him into said space.

Like I said… watch it again and you’ll see it’s Collins following the run leaving the space.

Big summer ahead whatever happens.

It’s actually because McNeil watched him run through the midfield instead of being alert and picking him up and following him in Watch it again… their young striker makes a run behind Tarks and Collins goes with him on the cover leaving the big gap for him to run into. Yes McNeil didn’t track 30 ya...

Think the Everton game last night is case in point. Imagine Leeds 2-0 down at half time, everyone thinks it’s job done, then they score 3 second half.. For that reason we have to play cautious (no early sloppy goals) but go for it to secure the win. If we play to our maximum, get beaten by the bette...
