nobody has a clue what's gone on, I'd be surprised if it was just down to results but that is just conjecture on my part

Really tells you a lot about who on here believes their own assumptions/agenda totally, and do not require any base to build their theories on.

After the week we’ve had a point at West Ham is an amazing performance by the Clarets, I really don’t know what some of you want of our club. Well done Burnley, unlucky not to win, another point to survival.

I said straight away that Dyche would replace Bruce at West Brom

I think Stoke would suit him better.

I also think Rooney is unlikely, but not impossible this week; I (along with football in general) was reasonably confident Derby would be relegated on Friday, they once again defied the odds, which I think means Rooney stays at Derby until they ARE potted.

He can if there is a club who wants him, or he can take another job that will lead him back into the PL and he's then back in a Prem job. Either way he will end up in the PL, probably to the disappointment of some on here. I’m not sure a lot of fans remember that SD did not come in and wave a magic...

Far from it. It could equally provide a spark in the club as the nail in the season. It is increasingly becoming apparent not all within the club was rosey (once again)… something that seems to have been becoming a more common state of affairs than any time other than the Garlick fallout. Maybe a cl...

Live in the USA, and the news was breaking at about 4.30am my time. Asleep, vaguely aware of my phone buzzing a lot on my nightstand. Woke up properly at 7am with 160 WhatsApp notifications. Thought: ‘have the Russians dropped a nuke?’

No much more unexpected than that,

I’d agree if you’re looking at the markets to make your money. Invest in copper. It’s this generations gold. In an island nation, the saying nowt as safe as houses is a fair statement. 10 year fixed rate mortgages are there for all to use; I’d rather pay 2.65% and know I’m the master of my own dest...

He lived in pendle when he was Blackpool manager. Was regularly in Pendle Inn.

Now you’ve mentioned that, I can remember saying hello to him in there at the time, he was chatting to Jimmy Robson (I’d just pop in when up there with the dogs), I was never a regular.

elwaclaret

Not true. You can borrow at 2% but invest and see a 6% return. You’re now 4% up. Pretty standard practice. People love to boast they’ve paid their mortgage off, but that’s dead(ish) money. Granted your house price will go up making you money. Yet if you released the equity and bought two terraced h...

Holloway thought he'd got the job

No backroom staff whatsoever, no apparent preparations made on the contingency of Dyche's sacking, staring down at relegation with a mountain of debt, massive squad overhaul needed if we're even to put out a side next season (regardless of the division), toxic atmosphere and good faith squandered b...

To digress, The Times in 1819 is different to todays Murdoch paper. As far as I'm concerned anyway it is just another paper these days.

I think I’m still recovering from the shock. I was sad when Stan left and hugely disappointed when Coyle bailed (though unlike many on here I was far from heartbroken, as by then I thought he’d been found out), that was more how many went with him… this one was the end of an era. I cannot say I ever...

Not if they were in the west of Ukraine they wouldn’t have been, but they had to be withdrawn for that reason agreed. For me it is too soon for them to redeploy and too risky especially when they can do the training over the border risk free anyway I could be wrong but a huge risk if it happened. O...

One reply to anything written about this is - how can we possibly comment on why the club is taking the actions it is, when we don’t know the details of what may have triggered them to call time. SD ruled the roost, if there was an altercation with the board…. Dyche has form… is Garlick preparing to...

elwaclaret

Hmmmm I think you are right certainly recently but we did innitially say we were removing all UK Forces. Sorry not being a smart arse (I hope) We did withdraw them so they would not find themselves engaged, now the Russian’s are gone and it is (relatively) safe to assume they will not have to defen...

It also says that the UK/NATO is active in Ukraine so can prove the Russian narrative for them not that it needs to be proved for there internal audience.

Don’t think we’ve ever claimed not to be, to be fair; only that we are not actively involved in the fighting.

I wouldn’t pay much attention to this firstly if they were there why would it come out? 100% the Government would stop it being printed if they were.

From what Woans daughter tweeted it was not unexpected by Dyche or Woan - both were sitting in the garden enjoying a Pims yesturday enjoying the sunshine.

elwaclaret

I'm not targeting him, but we've all no doubt seen many managers, and sad as Dyche's departure was at the end, the club will survive him leaving, as we survived other managers leaving through the decades. And if we do win tomorrow against the odds then so be it, the club will always be bigger than ...

Why on earth would anyone want us to lose tomorrow, a win and we might be on Everton's coattails. People write things from emotion at times of stress.

It wasn’t Stone that had poor relationship with players its was Ian Woan they fell out with regularly. Loughlan’s departure may have been a serous mistake, it appears he was very highly thought of.

Phelan has not long since signed a new long term deal at United. Carrick no longer works there. Didn’t know that CT. What I have seen today though is that the new United manager at OT got the job mainly because he completely tore into the way they had been doing things, so things may have changed

Been taking this in and trying to make sense of the timing.

Fair enough, the memory dims. As for Tommy Cassidy, a good player but his legs had gone that final season (he was here), as I remember, but admittedly I was young at the time.
