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.

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...

You make a very good point here.
Plenty of posters on here forget how important these loanees were.

We had the opportunity to sign them I think on a permanent basis.

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...

Go if we can somehow find the money that's needed to pay him off it's fantasy wishful thinking though.

Gutless, aimless, clueless, dunno what else to say.

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. Just shows that whatever style you play the gulf between championship and this league is massive Maybe so but the way things have turned out luton were supposed to be the underdogs & we were supposed to be making a real go of thing...

You were banging on about snowflakes while being all snowflakey yourself. I thought it was only right to point out your hypocrisy.

I do give credit for the way he handled Lyle Foster - I thought that was classy and it's a major plus point. I don't wish to back and forth this either but I'll just say I did make reference (as did others) to it being borderline suicidal to try and blood in so many new players in a new system in t...

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...

Jakubclaret

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...

Jakubclaret

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'...

Jakubclaret

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...

Only teams getting points reductions will keep them in the league though

That's fair statement taking into consideration they are only 4/5pts behind the likes of forest Brentford & palace.

The people wanting VK out are they same people who wanted Dyche out when we were hard to beat but terrible to watch.
Go figure

Point being? The only thing that's changed is now we are easy to beat & terrible to watch, never a truer saying than be careful what you wish for if this is it.

And I never said that you said that? I wasn't referring to anyone in particular but there are a few who post on here who think next year will be a doddle.

It's pretty much the same cloud cuckoo gang that thought this campaign would be a cakewalk after we stormed the championship

Jakubclaret

I am sure the question was if relegation was a bad thing...not how gutless or **** we are. The same 5 or 6 are infecting this site and seem to have carte blanche to do so because the owner of the site isn't invited to chat with Alan Pace on a weekly basis Or perhaps some people are very concerned a...

Jakubclaret

I don’t disagree with your reasoning, I agree. But it’s not a fact, and I disagree with you about that. Ok it's not technically a fact but it's reasonable to be 99% sure that he's still in a job because it'd cost a fortune to get shut. The club financially aren't inclined to make such a bold move &...

Jakubclaret

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. What I said was that if we were to get rid of Kompany now, no way a new longer term manager of the profile we want ie a McKenna, would come knowing they will have a relegat...

Jakubclaret

Yes it’s Groundhog Day. Vk would have plenty of opportunities, he is a v wealthy chap already so would be more interested in getting his career back on track than worry about being on gardening leave. A fledgling manager wouldn’t want to be out too long you’d think 🤔 Think we concluded last time th...

Jakubclaret

Fair play, you’ve repeated that a hell of a lot of times & I'll keep repeating it until some people have grasped the enormity of what it'd cost to see the back end of him. SD is a completely different beast in terms of attracting interest from outside clubs won't be another everton or another club ...

Jakubclaret

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 much about the cost, if he’s sacked after a poor start next season (high likelihood this won’t happe...

Jakubclaret

Got to keep VK He will get it right and learn from this for sure. We messed up big time not getting our warrior THB. We messed up not getting our goal scorer Nathan Tella and messed up not getting Maatsen for sure. We should now build a team around Berge and go again with his knowledge. The Champio...

Jakubclaret

Pace gave Kompany a new contract until 2028. So sacking him now would mean being prepared to pay off four years worth of his no doubt very high wages. Pace would probably need to take out another loan to cover that - and find a new manager and coaching staff on top of that. Can't see how it happens...

Jakubclaret

They might not be able to afford it, but it’s not a fact. You know as much as we do, which is nothing. He's still here & taking everything into account the rotten results & form it isn't beyond the realms to reach that conclusion. They can't afford to pay him & his backroom staff off it's pure & si...

Jakubclaret

I've said before it doesn't really make much of a difference if people want him to go or stay the facts are the club can't really afford to sack him.

Too many motorists are rushing to get to A&B asap & aren’t setting off early enough & anticipating the volumes of traffic. We don’t have enough calm & relaxed drivers on the road instead we have impatient & anxiety ridden drivers.

Jakubclaret

To me it comes across as an engineered dignified exit without the official sacking which is the right thing in the circumstances he steps down for health reasons & everybody happily moves on. You can only wish him well in his long overdue retirement.

Jakubclaret

I'm afraid coaches can only attempt to get the best out of what they have to work with. If your defenders are costing many millions of pounds, you'd expect them to be more efficient than less expensive ones. That's not the be all and end all but it's not a bad starting point. The thing is though ev...

Thought this was called Up The Clarets ,there’s enough falling out about Trafford and Kompany without starting a political debate,can we not just save it until they’res an election then have a specific post?

We owe him loads for what he does to promote our club. He's promoting his investment which I don't have a problem with because that's the only way he'll get a return & he'd be foolish not to.

He stepped in last season and kept them up. Could have walked away a hero then. Was a backwards step by Palace to give him the job but Hodgson should have had the sense to leave on a high and enjoy his retirement. I agree with you it went to far but because he's now committed to the cause in his mi...

Jakubclaret

Hodgson should have just enjoyed his retirement. Not sure why he's putting himself through the aggro at 75. He probably doesn't want to bow out on a bum note this way if he manages to keep them up he goes out on a high. Tough 1 for parish he only agreed to stop on to help them out as a kind of favo...

Strange how the 'impartial' media rate Trafford as either our best or 2nd best player today. For the 1st goal he was blocked out of it by O'Shea, if he hadn't come he would have been just as roundly criticised on here. Just watched the Sky highlights video and they don't blame Trafford at all. Wasn...

The vaccine doesn't stop you from getting COVID or passing it on. We were told that from the very outset of its discovery. Given that fact, shouldn't you be still wearing one, just in case?
