Nothing wrong with it. But football is not a normal business. I have never seen anything that JJ Watt has posted about Burnley which for one second would make me think he would be coming over to Burnley in March to go through KPIs with VK. It’s pretty clear why that particular poster mentioned this...

I will also add CoolClaret, that you don't exactly help yourself in being highly critical of not only VK, but young players like Trafford and Amdouni. They are not only young men, but are trying to adapt to life at a new club, a new country (in Amdouni's case) and the Premier League. Not easy by a ...

CoolClaret

This from the match thread yesterday. Whether you want him gone or not, you're quite clearly not a fan of his this season (fickle?). I know things aren't going great this season, but you're definitely putting the boot in and being very critical of certain young players (Trafford, Amdouni for exampl...

The problem is that people know that your narrative is wanting VK sacked. It's a constant with you. So, whilst you do pose the 'pressure' question to the message board, you were provided with responses that don't agree with your thoughts. This is highlighted after only a few posts down from you're ...

CoolClaret

Unfortunately KPIs is a term that is regularly used in reality, usually by tossers in the workplace who are seeking to elevate their profile by spouting a load of corporate management speak. Agreed their. I don't particularly like using that sort of vernacular - I was more trying to articulate what...

CoolClaret

You’re right, you asked if his coming over was a sign of pressure on VK. So were you think thinking he’s decided to come over because there is a an existing pressure on VK? That he could be he coming over to add to it? Or maybe help relieve it? Or is he coming over to create pressure? I’m trying to...

JJ Watt is a part owner and heavily involved in choosing who the manager is? Where have you dreamt up that?

If you'd like to quote where I mentioned that go for it.

I'm simply posing an open-ended question on a message board.

CoolClaret

So, we get relegated which is what will probably happen if your scenario plays out, who would you prefer as manager, someone who cruised to the title a season ago in that league... Or someone who didn't? I cannot think of anybody better to manage us in the championship. Depends what the long term g...

CoolClaret

The fact that you use terms like “KPIs” just shows how far you are away from reality. But you crack on with your view as to why you believe he’s coming. Maybe they are going to have a brainstorm or a thought shower with Vincent as to why have been a bit sh-it this season What are you on about? Ther...

Coming to Burnley for a month to apply pressure :lol: :lol: :lol: I’ve read it all on here now. On another note - well done JJ. So good to have him on board and hopefully a new face and his positive attitude around the place will help. You love to deliberately misappropriate points don't you? Did I...

So finishing with our worst ever PL points tally wouldn't warrant any pressure? Interesting.

It's likely a drastic misunderstanding of JJ Watt's investment to think he has any say whatsoever in Kompany's future.

I'm not so sure there tbh. I think he'll be involved in important discussions - what makes you think that he won't be?

His role is different than Dude Perfects isn't it?

I can feel you praying for there to be pressure on VK through your post

CoolClaret

Maybe he’s just coming to Burnley because the American football season finishes tonight. He clearly enjoys it here. He enjoys watching the games and meeting the fans. That would seem a lot more of a logical explanation than he is coming to discuss his investment in the club or some kind of made up ...

Let’s face it. We re total bobbins. Teams don’t have to play well or try particularly hard to beat us. Against teams other than the two who came up with us plus Fulham we’ve managed a princely two points. Just think about that. Awful recruitment and clueless management. We will be the first 100 poi...

No pressure on VK JJ watt is super super rich - like loose change to the rest of us being here for weeks.

Pressure on VK? Or just discussing next seasons plans.

If it was such a risk to sign Tella for 15m as not proven in the premier league then sign a division 1 goalkeeper for 19m seems odd

This.

It just doesn't make sense whatever way it's spun.

CoolClaret

Best post I’ve read on here for some time! These are very young players that need time to develop. Of course they are going to make mistakes. Trafford did a lot right yesterday yet many seem oblivious to that (or choose to ignore). The best example of this was one poster who started yet another unn...

CoolClaret

Played ok, but still lost, and his inexperience led to the goal, after a period of panic in our box he should have done what all the top keepers do and fall on the ball and allow us to regroup. His passing out was poor in that game, so much so Lee Dixon commented how poor it was a couple of times. ...

Relying on last season's videos against lesser opposition won't convince me I'll look at games at Everton and spurs this season Best we've played on the road at Spurs - with a change team as well. What have we got to lose? Traff does nothing better than Muric but is notably worse in passing and com...

This one is on the manager. It is baffling why VK not see the blindingly obvious. Please tell me it isn't an investment/re-sale decision (it is the only reason I see for persisting with Trafford).

Surely it's more understandable, and certainly not embarrassing, that Kompant reacted instinctively in the moment, rather than in the media afterwards risking a ban for such an incident alone, which is what happened to Klopp. Pick your poison.

2-0 Leverkusen, Tella assist. The decision not to get him looks increasingly bad (and I was one that thought 20 million was too much for him)

Worst decision of the summer.

CoolClaret

So you want him to just stand there and say nothing? I don't quite follow you here CC. It was a pivotal point in the game and he was right to make his point with passion. I have absolutely no problem with that, especially when you consider just how many times this has happened now. Never said that....

No problem with passion and frustration, especially with some of the awful decisions we have been on the wrong end of this season.

Hmm, I'd prefer more making a point in pre game / post game pressers and not getting booked on the side of the pitch when he's got a team to manage.

Lord Dyche served a touchline ban today for the same reason. Wouldn’t call it embarrassing.

He did yes and I found that poor of Dyche as well!

Thing is, Hart was signed because Pope just had a season-ending injury and Dyche wasn't sure if Heaton would be able to remain fit after coming off a bad injury of his own...

Yep - a few Clarets have made a point that Cullen looked more effective and could keep us ticking because he was getting the ball into feet much quicker.

CoolClaret

So not a fact then, an opinion. It's hard to quantify in the manner in which you're probably asking - I posted some bits after the Spurs game in the cup, average player positions etc. Was noticeable just how much more spread out the lads were and how we moved the ball through the lines much more ef...

Just from what I've seen - from last season, pre-season and some of the cup games this season.

I think with Muric we have more than 13 points from 24 games, that's for sure.

We're a much better unit with Muric between the sticks and that's a fact.

The negativity on here is unbearable, been really competitive at Anfield and missed some big chances. Fans sat waiting to jump all over VK and certain players in the team. Their 2nd goal is a clear foul yet a ricochet around the edge of our box is blamed on Amdouni. https://www.merriam-webster.com/...
