I agree that VK might try 4-2-3-1 for the first few games

I thought Barton’s stint with us in the Prem was pretty disappointing - nowhere near as good as he was in the Champ.

You might be right, I’m probably remembering his Championship performances. Ageing legs in a much higher quality league might have been a bit too much to ask of Barton.

Minimum of 20 appearances required - he didn't reach that total.

At less than 20 appearances he was still one of the best

It’s been said a million times but we HAVE to keep Vydra while he receives rehab for his ACL injury. He’s been offered a new deal but at this stage doesn’t seem to keen on resigning with the current terms. Barnes, Rodriguez and Vydra struggled to score in the PL and imo they’ll struggle to score in...

Worryingly no new links to a couple of strikers we desperately need

We’ve already got FOUR strikers in our first team squad - Barnes, Rodriguez, Vydra and Twine.

It sounds very harsh but I think we should terminate Vydra’s contract and recruit a young, lightening fast and powerful replacement.

Imo two sets isn’t enough at this level. The Ladies should play a minimum of three sets like the men. If the score then moves on to two sets all then they could play a tiebreak (instead of a fifth set) - first to twelve games wins. Why not try it as an experiment? I’d be happy for them to call it ‘M...

First time I’ve seen Katie Boulter play. Very aggressive player with good power, good range of shots and concentration. Very impressive.

Mala591

Murray played well but Isner (6’10” and 135 mph first serves) was really up for it and played some excellent tennis - especially drop shots close to the net. I enjoyed watching it.

I can’t understand a word they are saying/singing, the lyrics don’t make any sense, have the ‘audience’ been given a special ‘like everything however crap it is’ tablet?

Or maybe I’m just getting old?

Mala591

I disagree we need a striker, Richardson is unproven, and Vydra (if he signs) is out for a good few months, and much as I appreciate Barnes and Jay Rod it's asking a lot for them to play 46 games in the Championship. Of course if we sign Twine he could probably perform as a striker/number 10. Has T...

Mala591

Is Vydra staying or going?

Having re-signed Barnes and Rodriguez (and needing two new young ‘centre forwards’) I just can’t see enough room in our squad for him.

Is this our strongest 11 as things stand at the moment?

Mala591

It’s possible that Kompany thinks he can develop Roberts as (an attacking) right wing back and that’s why he’s looking for a new right back.

But, if we did sign Wallace they’d be competing for the same position (which isn’t a bad thing).

Mala591

Can anyone recommend (from personal experience) a new garage door supplier/fitter within 20 miles of Burnley.

Thanks

87m wage bill on the recent accounts. CP thinks around 15m of that is a staying up bonus. This season just gone there is no staying up bonus. 87-15 = 72m Top earners off the wage bill: Tark, Mee, Cornet, Weghorst, Pope - 12.5m there Other OOC’s off the wage bill: 3m let’s say 15.5m saving 72-15 = 5...

I don’t think our players’ salaries will have been halved on relegation. I’d ‘guess’ they’ll have been reduced by a third.

e.g. £60k a week becomes £40k a week.

Does anyone have accurate information?

Kompany might actually consider the large number of first team squad vacancies an advantage. He can recruit the players of his choice without too much hassle.

Mala591

Are our (first team squad) player’s wages halved on relegation?

Mee’s wage might have been reduced to £30k a week from £60k a week so he’s bound to look around for a better offer.

Mala591

Thank you for all the suggestions and comments (especially BigRedrose). We’ll definitely try out some of the recommendations on our next visit in a couple of months time.

I don't like this aspect either. Apparently, he is a very good coach though. Done lots of good work with strikers before his spell out with mental health issues. Can't remember what podcast/website it was.

And we definitely need a specialist attacking coach.

Top quality player with natural attacking ability who will improve and should become more consistent. I’m always more optimistic/excited when he’s in our starting 11 (that’s what football is about after all).

We should be doing everything we can to persuade him to stay.

Mala591

If Kompany has genuine ambitions to be a PL manager then a ‘first step’ in the Championship would make sense. He knows we have a great training ground and a good youth set up and I’m sure he’s confident he can attract some of the best young players in the North West. We will definitely be a Champion...

Pope is worth £35 million and we should hold out for that amount.

Saturday afternoon football!

(Imo) The next manager MUST have a successful track record of recruiting good quality young players and developing them through to regular first team football.

Mala591

I’d like to see if Barnes and Cornet can play together up front so I’d start with:

——————————Pope
—————Lowton Collins Long
Roberts—————————————Taylor
———Brownhill——Cork——McNeil
——————Barnes———Cornet

Mala591

How much will the new manager have to spend on new players?

1. If we remain in the PL
2. If we get relegated

Imo it’s just as important (and urgent) for Alan Pace to ‘recruit’ a multi-million pound investor(s) as well as a top quality new manager.

Mala591

5-4-1 lineup (I think)

————————Pope
———Lowton Collins Long
Roberts—————————Taylor
McNeil Brownhill Cork Cornet
————————Barnes
