I have no idea how many can, but it's clearly not being seen as a major factor in selection.
Still, for the record, I am a massive Muric fan. I just think he's not ticking the relevant boxes.

Which boxes has Trafford ticked this season?

bumba

Not going to happen, Pace, VK and Nori have too much money invested 🫰

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that article and in the main it is an accurate read of the landscape. The only exception is a few grumpy old men on here who like the sound of their own voice. Who whilst complaining about a fan claiming to be speaking for the majority, claim themselves to spe...

So Pogba gets 4 years for cheating.
Everton get 6 points for years of cheating.

They also got an injury time ‘equaliser’ at our place via a bad VAR decision. If we had the four points we have been robbed of by VAR (Forest as well) our position wouldn’t look nearly so bad. I think Luton are doing great to be honest but their current form isn’t suggesting anything other than a f...

Her article seems pretty bang on to what you hear day to day off fans.
The only ones that I've heard think different are the few left on here still defending this garbage

Have you noticed Luton’s recent form bud? I think their brief spell in the sunshine is done for now. Even us and Sheff Utd have beaten them. And recent form is poor. But their overall form has given them a fighting chance. We got lucky away to beat them, they dominated us at home. A slight turn in ...

You are right on this. The knockers (I cannot call them supporters) rubbish what all these managers say about us and the league, then in due course they have rubbished all 20 managers. Our style has been praised so far by most of the top teams, many of the middling teams have said we are in a false...

Eustace did great considering at Birmingham.
Dyche did great at Watford considering.
Dyche came to Burnley and the rest is history.
I hope Eustace isn't their Dyche

Standing allowed Beer at your seat I’m jealous of the German Bundesliga, blows our soulless stadiums out of the water. Flags waving and chanting regardless of the result.

The next set of likely FFP rules will be a soft salary cap as salaries form part of the overall squad cost ratio equation. The problem with it is that the cap ratio is based on revenue and will allow for a level of loss in the accounts Basing it on revenue still doesn't make it more even though, it...

Why not we signed Redmond

With all the debate around the points deduction for Everton and some people saying it's right and some saying it's wrong, then I read the Ashley Westwood article about how draining it is fighting relegation constantly it's made me wonder how we could make the league more competitive and interesting....

bumba

Need to be careful when comparing the 2. We had a highly coveted young centre back in Keane and a player who had premier league experience at centre back. We also had PL experience at right back, left back and in goal and couldn't afford any improvements on them. This season we had basically 0 PL e...

I wonder how much those figures would have changed had dyche or coyle had a decent budget to work with?

I bet Dyche wouldn't have spent big on a new goalkeeper to replace Heaton.
Could also argue how much the stats would change if Kompany gave some credit to how good the squad he already had was

bumba

Sadly sums up some of the clientele in there,and their cumulative IQ. Anyone of them wanting to say it to his face. Pathetic. Why does this keep getting rolled out this season, 'bet they/you wouldn't say to his/their face', honestly they've shown this season they ant got any fight in them why do fa...

Where abouts was that? I left on 57 minutes and headed to the Royal Dyche for a couple of pints with a mate, I never heard it. So it can't have been ringing around. I left after the 5th goal, it definitely was ringing out inside. I even know the lads name who started the chant but wouldn't put it o...

Why not get it going during the match on Sunday ?

Why do it in the pub, who knows the board might act on it if they hear you,

I didn't join in, I said it was ringing around the pub

So, in brief: Season 1: Spend more than the rules allow to stay up at the expense of Club X, who are playing by the rules. Season 2: again spend more than the rules allow, this time to purchase players from the club X (such as Dwight McNeil), at reduced rate as their players wish to stay in the top...

Luton look deep in the doo doo now.

Still in with a big chance of survival, Forest are only 4 points in front and Luton have a game in hand. They play each other in a few weeks too.
If forest got only 2 points deducted it could be costly

bumba

So I take it you've canvassed at least 8501 of the 17k fans and they have all said they want VK out? These ridiculous sweeping generalisations just detract from any argument you might have. No but the fact Kompany is a w*nker was ringing out in the Dyche before the final whistle last week is a tell...

Leaked by David Ornstein here https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein/status/1762103331198013642 So, the second breach for Everton still to be decided and one looming for Forest too. Both we won't find out on until after the last game of the season has played, assuming they both appeal. Bizarre. They co...

The managers fault Brownhill (insert literally anyone) can't pass to his own players ? The managers fault half the squad have been out injured ? The managers fault Foster has had issues ? Quite a lot of things you can absolutely lay at the feet of VK but there's an awful lot you can't. Maybe not th...

He didn't cost 19 million, that includes multiple add ons and clearly we (or him) aren't going to be meeting any of those any time soon - and that was reported absolutely everywhere including The Athletic, M.E.N etc. Still amusing how people think we just handed over 19 million for him We handed ov...

Yet the majority on here want him to stay, must be many with your so called low standards We get 17+ a week home fans on the Turf theres less than 100 of you on here saying stay. Stop believing your speaking for the majority, get out in the real world and talk to people you'll soon realise your not.

Last season's 29 wins, 14 draws, only 3 losses, and 101 points, never happened.

Never happened with this squad no

I am less worried about who will be in our team next year in the Championship than the morale and bond between VK and his key players. There is something sadly gone astray with many players a shadow of the team that kicked off in August. Look at the decline in players like Roberts, Amdouini, Benson...

“ Never going to happen like that again next season imo.”

No I can’t say it will either. But there’s no reason why the players we currently have, can’t get us automatic promotion. The gulf between the Prem and Championship is just massive.

A lot of the players we currently have won't be here

bumba

Last season was just a perfect example of a one off, a little bit like what happened at deadwood when they won the prem. New board, new manager, new team etc. Everyone bought into it, owners, player's, fan's, media were excited about it. All the players gelled, and we had a trio of very good up and...

How many of our players ( sorry VK’s ) do we have that are physically and mentally tough enough for the championship ? They'll be shot to bits after this season with a losing mentality, teams in the championship raise their game for relegated clubs they'll come and have a go I don't see the fight i...

We already have a director of football, he's called........ Vincent Kompany

bumba

Really thought we'd come out flying yesterday but it seems we've learnt nothing, more worringly I'm starting to wonder if VK has even taking the championship too lightly next season. Looking at the teams and the lack of fight in ours we really aren't going to walk it again like last season, the cham...

Amdouni wouldn't even get in the attacking three of Hull City at the moment, Zaroury Carvalho Philogene behind the striker I'd argue it's as good a three we play in Odobert Amdouni JBG.

Obviously Trafford.

He could have stopped a red card from happening, were in deep sh*t and he's time wasting at 0-0 after 15 minutes.
His passing was awful, he didn't command his box, he didn't deal well with crosses and he nearly conceded an OG after 60 seconds!!

bumba

The funny thing is if he wasn’t called Vincent Kompany you wouldn’t even remotely be thinking he’s going to be a top manager. The reality is, he’s not going to be. Statistically no manager has ever had a season this bad in the premier league and gone on to be successful. He will likely end up being...

They'll make a massive profit on the £100 million player we already have in the ranks

I don’t know what some fans watch, I think he’s technically brilliant and see a real player in him. Some of the dribbling and turns are outrageous bits of skill, the structure of the team is just terrible. The sides so bad it’s easy to scapegoat the player who runs around like a headless chicken th...

Stay but my god he’s on wafer thin ice. Has to be big changes next week - in personnel, tactics and attitude.

Exactly my thoughts, been saying it repeatedly to myself and friends but then match day comes and it's the same selections. It's baffling what he thinks he's seeing

bumba

Pace is just as much to blame. There's not a chance on earth a football manager buys all them young players, without buying any players good enough for the level. VK picked all the players, Pace saw what happened last season and thought VK could turn players in to gold and thought he was quids in. ...

He's pretty much said before the 1st game were already down with the way his spoke no wonder the players have had no belief.
