It will depend on the financial situation at the club, won't it.

Clever from VK to load us with so much expensive shite that we now probably can't afford to sack him.

Maybe he is a genius after all.

ksrclaret

If the COO has indeed said that VK has the safest job in the 92, he's probably given more away about our financial situation than anything else.

ksrclaret

30 seconds of his interview just flashed up on Sky Sports.

He says there is belief within the group that we can survive.

ksrclaret

Significantly less than he's spent (wasted), surely? Well yes, you'd certainly hope so. Whatever the figure comes to, just pay it and let's have him out. What worries me is that we're going to spend the next few years desperately trying to offload the absolute shite he's landed us with. Lots of loa...

We actually started at least trying to play something resembling last season's style. Then the manager realised he'd signed a load of lightweight fannies who couldn't be arsed to press (despite telling us he knew exactly how physical the PL is) and has since switched to the nothingness we see now th...

Kompany has just been on Radio Lancs. He said something on the lines of "There are millions who play football and do you know what the odds are on getting to the premier league"?!!! Clueless! The only Millions he should be talking about are the ones he's spunked up the wall! The only millions I'm i...

Why would VK do this to a kid?

He doesn't have the slightest clue what he's doing or the harm he's doing.

ksrclaret

The thing that Laws had going for him was that he didn't spend £100+m to serve up such shite.

Kompany could write a book on how to systematically take apart the culture of an organisation.

ksrclaret

Up there with "don't tell him, Pike"

ksrclaret

It's non-existent. Basic stuff like keeping a flat line. Not been apparent since Dyche left. Following runners down the line - no apparent organisation here or system that players appear to be following. Picking up runners from midfield/deep - non existent Marking from set pieces - we are probably ...

Go after today.

Absolutely disgraceful.

ksrclaret

This is worse and I never thought I'd ever find myself saying that.

ksrclaret

You only have to look at the defensive 'line' that we hold during a game to understand how poor the coaching is at our club.

The only change that could make any difference at this stage is the manager.

His decision making has been woeful all season along with his inability to see that experience has value in this league.

Absolutely agree.

Benson on at 90 mins

Pace obviously isn't the world's greatest footy fan, but even he can see that this is complete shite.

Time to go Vinnie.

Unfortunately he might not be a footy fan but he’s a VK fanboy

My worry is that VK is here no matter what

ksrclaret

Shocking team selection - tick

Play absolutely horrendously - tick

Players don’t run and put effort in - tick

Collapse after conceding - tick

Just a standard Vincent Kompany afternoon. Got to go now.

ksrclaret

Cannot believe that Kompany said the players have fire in their bellies in his press conference this week.

I’ll be absolutely relieved when his tenure comes to an end. Painful and clueless.

ksrclaret

I personally think this is a much more balanced team and in theory should make us more competitive. JBG give us much more with his work ethic and tactical nous. I’m just amazed Amdouni has managed to keep his place. This is a massive game for VK. He’s got to get a result Why does he have to get a r...

ksrclaret

Kompanys stubbornness and reluctance to change is mind boggling. I don't know what Cullen, Muric or Benson have to do to start. To their mind now it must seem impossible. Sad Absolutely. These players must know their time is up with Burnley. Just got thrashed 5-0 with some of the worst attitudes we...

ksrclaret

I cannot understand that selection for the life of me, but I hope VK is right and they manage 3 points. UTC! I don't rate Tresor at all but we need clarity on what the situation is there. Is he injured? Is there some secret clause where if we don't use him we can send him back? Has he got a bad att...

I saw a few posters after the Arsenal defeat suggesting that Kompany had to reflect and change things.

Well...

ksrclaret

I think he he claim to have fared a bit better than Rooney at Birmingham, but it’s another shocking appointment all the same.

Their fans never took to him from what I can tell.

ksrclaret

The thing you've got to remember about online public forums is that nobody owns the space and sometimes you have to be prepared to see things you'd rather not. As long as nobody is being abusive or breaking the law, no single poster gets to dictate how threads should run. It's been a while since we'...

ksrclaret

That's just such unbelievably low expectations and honestly sounds like you've only followed us from afar for at most 4 years, more likely since VK left Belgium to come here. That's exactly what it is with Antonini and he's open about how he switched from Anderlecht to Burnley when VK took us over....

Of course you’re on here loving it, go on lad get stuck in, this topics right up your anti BFC street.

He's just taking the p1ss out of Antonini who suggests that Burnley have always been a laughing stock.

If there is anyone anti BFC on this thread, it's him. He's not even a fan.

ksrclaret

1. BFC engage with the community again
2. BFC start honouring the traditions of the club again
3. BFC recruit players who want to play for the club and give 100%

Both Sheff Utd and Burnley really ought to reimburse their season ticket holders this year.

ksrclaret

The best thing about relegation is it won’t be long before VK fangirls like Antonini clear off.

Still, he’s been good for some cracking conspiracy theories. Laughing stock is certainly the phrase.

That's just because that's the team we've just played, they're are others

I can think of Rice, Grealish, and Caicedo. Am I missing any?

None of those are worth more than we paid for our entire team though.

Yep, thought so.

It's not 100m, but even if it was, quite a few, including today's opposition The money we've spent on our squad in total will be in excess of £100m. We're not a club run on buttons and we're entitled to expect that we can compete at this level given the vast sums we've shelled out. How many teams h...

Different level, playing against teams who spend more on one player than we do as a team, is it really that difficult to work out?

This was a fair argument to use in the Dyche days.

Not anymore. How many teams spend in excess of £100m on one player?

ksrclaret

Sorry was it only make it hell if we played Sheff Utd or Luton in the first two games? We’ve beat plenty of ‘big’ teams under Coyle and Dyche early on. We didn't even need to beat them to give the fans something to get behind. Not letting Villa, Spurs, and Chelsea walk through us to score might hav...

Those goals again on MOTD. Just wow.

Their fifth. I hope nobody was injured by O'Shea's and Delcroix's tools as they chucked them away.

And to think some people think the effort is there.

ksrclaret

Kompany - needs to reflect on how it was he picked a team with both Amdouni and Odobert in it against Arsenal. I think everyone needs to reflect and use this as a watershed. Certainly VK who must know he’s got the balance of the team badly wrong this season but needs to pick a team which acknowledg...

To use parlance from our resident Rovers fan StayingDown4Ever, I'm afraid that the original poster has absolutely humiliated himself here.

Palace were just about to sack him as well, according to reports.

ksrclaret

Why do people assume that running the ball out, and losing possession, is all on the players head. We've made this same mistake, so often, that it should be obvious that players are instructed to play this way by VK. Most of our players would probably love to put their laces through the ball, but i...

Beyer ought to return with a stint on the bench. He's struggled with the physicality of the Premier League massively, and he's lost the ball numerous times in dangerous positions trying to run out with it and getting caught. Before we signed Assignon, there was a strong case of moving him to right b...

You expect with every manager the odd few perplexing calls (from the outside looking in), but as the season has gone on it has become increasingly difficult to reconcile the manager's decisions from last season with the manager's decisions from this season.

ksrclaret

I doubt there's time to collect the pics and put something together before any announcement about season tickets, which will be this season The point is that it might get people all nostalgic now in preparation for the season ticket news coming out soon. It doesn't really matter when the photos mig...

The cynic in me believes this is a play on the old nostalgia element before they launch the (likely grim) season ticket news.

I think it's too late for a Heaton/ Hart moment, unfortunately. The time for that was October or November, but that's not to say that Muric shouldn't come in on a point of principle, although I think just about Burnley fan has given up on sensible team selections being made this season. On Trafford,...

Arsenal could genuinely be 5 or 6 up here. Their set pieces are very dangerous. Yikes.

Obafemi had a decent first half when Millwall were on top, he perhaps could have done better with a couple of shots at goal. Second half I don't recall him touching the ball before being subbed around the hour mark. Be interesting to see what happens to him in the summer. My guess would be that he l...
