Have I dragged them in? I thought they were the subject of this thread? Mike Garlick didn't want to spend the money in the club's bank account on any new players in the summer of 2020. Sean Dyche wanted to hold onto James Tarkowski and let him run down his contract. If Mike Garlick wasn't looking t...

Performance Result Line-up Normally I'd have result first but given we're already down I just want to see improvement, a clear direction, and learning from previous mistakes. Not bothered who starts as long as they preform, but I will be bothered if the same players keep playing whilst not performing.

Equally, missing saying that most of that money was already committed to pay wages doesn't "fabricate" a strong argument that it was all borrowed by new owners to but the club. UTC I think you've misunderstood here- that's not my argument nor my point, I responded to someone saying that we had 0 mo...

Nonsense. We are getting relegated because we had to be stripped to the bone in May 2022 because of Everton and the Premier League, and even investing as much money as we could we couldn’t close the gap that arose because of that initial behaviour. Evidence - Forest without a points deduction (yet)...

So you don't think there should be realism involved ? F^ck it then, let's wait a year and get Klopp

McKenna is realistic, he might not join us but we'd be an attractive proposition dependent on where they finish the season of course.

boyyanno

I agree, also very interesting and noticeable that you are allowed to set a metric for what you think is acceptable in a manager but you seemingly don't accept that others do similar and their metrics are 'irrelevant' I do find it irrelevant, because you used it as a factor to rule out other potent...

boyyanno

When you name people they have to be realistic, no chance on this planet Potter comes. Why on earth would McKenna leave Ipswich to come to us and why do you think he's better than Kompany ? I've no idea what you've said about Kompany, I've also no idea why you seem to think I said you want Kompany ...

boyyanno

But on what basis would you consider McKenna better for us in the Championship than VK? We’re gonna sack a 100+ point title winning manager for a punt on a fella? I think you part ways with a manager because they are not getting the best out of what they have. My personal feeling is when you get to...

are you struggling to read today mate ? It clearly says 'or top league' Find me a better candidate than the one we already have, your pre-requisite was 'the best possible candidate'.

Vegas is talking about the comparison between Kompany and others. You’re talking about hiring a manager when we haven’t got one. 2 entirely different things, when you’re taking a manager out, you’d want to upgrade by hiring a better manager. Half the people mentioned haven’t achieved half of what V...

The accounts do show approx £80m in the bank, but that includes are large chunk of the Premier League tv money which was already committed to pay wages. Something less than £40m was borrowed by ALK to help them pay for shares bought from previous directors. Undoubtedly. But to say we "didn't have a...

boyyanno

We didn't have any money. You're right that we didn't have debt, but Garlick would have had to create debt to 'gamble' on staying up. Relegation gave us the opportunity to invest in a lot of players in the 3-10 million range. Some will pay off, some won't, but I'm confident we'll be in credit. If w...

just checking, which of those managers have won a League Championship in England or a top league ?

Here it is. In response to another poster.

You are dismissing candidates who have not won a League in England. Therfore its one of your requirements

boyyanno

your words "Or how about giving it to the best candidate?" So if a guy had a 100+ season title winning season under his belt in the division you were playing in you wouldn't class it as relevant ? Ok then. We are seemingly talking about two different things, I'm talking about viable candidates for ...

boyyanno

Yes I have. Beyer is notably rubbish but last year we were paying Tella, Maatsen and THB somewhere between £10-£15k pw. £25k is more Prem wages I think, not Championship. The clubs a lot of these guys came from are very small and they didn’t get paid a lot. Tresor for example. Wouldn’t shock me if ...

boyyanno

it's 100% relevant, you are going into a league with a guy who already has that on his CV. I'm yet to see a singe person come out with a sensible viable candidate to replace Kompany. My response was entirely pointed and not remotely flippant Vincent Kompany didn't have a win on his CV when he joine...

Then go into your account and put me on your block list. Interesting you have no issue with the comments about the owners.

Of which having won a League title is absolutely irrelevant, as it was previously and is now.

Tell me why its relevant? Although I assume with the flippant response you can't.

Problem being you wouldn't understand these things, remember when you kept accusing the owners of sports washing, yet even when you had it explained to you, kept repeating it ? I would imagine you would struggle getting your head around accusing someone of asset stripping. I genuinely don' think th...

https://www.spotrac.com/epl/burnley-fc/payroll/ Does incorrectly state we signed Reguilon, so that has to be deducted from the £35m total at the bottom. Which do you think is inaccurate though? Some will be so I can guess it is higher. Even at £60-70m though you could envisage a healthy chunk of th...

You’re absolutely spot on with everything you said but I don’t see the point in now saying “Garlick could’ve taken out loans and invested the cash in the clubs account” when he obviously didn’t want to, he wanted out. It doesn't change anything, but it disproves the notion that this is the only mod...

We couldn't afford the investment required to retain Prem status, which is why I said relegation was a blessing in disguise. We needed too many players at once. In the championship, with the money raised from Pope etc. we could afford the necessary rebuild. Getting a balance between selling and mai...

just checking, which of those managers have won a League Championship in England or a top league ? Is it that relevant? Out of the last 3 managers that have taken us from the championship to the PL none of them had won a title in England in management had they?- Coyle, Dyche, Kompany- so it would s...

The people who like Amdouni are the ones that care if he's got 5 star skill on fifa.

The lad has got some technical ability but he's one of the most ineffective footballers I've seen for us. Needs to be playing for a team that dominates sides and that isn't us at this level.

But you are choosing between not going because you have another commitment. You're not going just because the team are not getting results, and be gleeful about not going despite you having a ticket. The way I see it, it's like fast-forwarding through a film to watch the hero save the day at the en...

Pretty much spot on. Walker created a "trust" and those looking after that trust were more than happy to offload it at the first opportunity and they weren't too fussed about who was buying. I too find it incredulous that Venkys have had absolutely nothing but grief and bills from the minute they t...

Now you’re just making stuff up, I never said I didn’t rate McKenna. Just not sure how you claim a manager who finished 2nd in League One is better than one that almost broke the Championship points record. Also some fans don’t like the inexperienced VK but McKenna is also a young pup. Where have I...

I'd have thought we still owe a considerable proportion of those fees which will need paying after this season. I think a lot of people overlook this. It's quickly mentioned that all fees are not paid upfront but soon forgotten that this means we will have payments for the following years. It's lik...

If we lost the play off final last season and we were currently 4th/5th in the Championship (like McKenna) VK would have more support on here…..

Dyche got promoted, relegated and then promoted. I think VK can do the same. As far as I’m concerned, any manager that takes BFC to the PL deserves the opportunity to learn and grow from that experience of relegation to try and go again. I don’t care if your name is Dyche or Kompany. I don't feel l...

I just genuinely want to know why you wanted rid of Dyche then and yet you're backing Kompany to the hilt now and going as far as trying to shout down other posters for having an opinion that doesn't suit yours.

What is your reason?
