If the COO has indeed said that VK has the safest job in the 92, he's probably given more away about our financial situation than anything else.

I have now bumped the thread containing the BBC interview where the assurance on VK’s position as manager was made.

kentonclaret

Great interview. Snippet of it here too: https://x.com/bbclancssport/status/1757863979639070775?s=46 Kompany having the ‘safest job in the 92’ is interesting. According to Matt Williams Kompany has the safest job of all 92 managers. Many posters now calling for VK to go so how precarious is his pos...

Did it come from Alan Pace?

Came from a Matt Williams - thread contains positive comments from posters “excellent interview” and “good to hear there’s no sign of panic from the club”.

kentonclaret

Wasn’t there a quote posted on here recently that the position of Kompany was the safest of all 92 managers?

kentonclaret

Before kick off today Burnley were priced up at 1/6 to be relegated but following another defeat are now 1/9.

Can Pace afford to sack Kompany given the parlous state of the club’s financial position?

It’s a Must Win

Injuries, illnesses and VAR disputes have kicked in at critical times. Some long-term injuries to players now out for the season. We are facing a Crystal Palace team this afternoon without arguably their best 3 young players unavailable due to injury Guehi, Eze and Olise. Other senior first team pl...

kentonclaret

Although maybe more extreme than perhaps I'd put it, I see krbfcs point. I wish some of our supporters would reserve a bit of support and respect for Kompany given what he did last year. And for what it's worth I still think we finish above Luton. A reality check. Prices quoted currently on Burnley...

according to their local reporter : No Eze, Guehi or Olise v Burnley tomorrow Same situation for them squad wise as on Monday against Everton, but their players still put a good shift in there having 10 shots (4 on target). With their 3 best young players still on the treatment table it should be a...

Terminology previously only heard on programmes like Masterchef now becoming the buzz word of commentators

“That was delicious”

I'd take anyone scoring against Palace, please. Trouble is, it's how many we might concede at the other end that worries me more. As I have posted on a different thread, you would not expect that a club managed by an ex player who had a distinguished career, at both club and international level, as...

kentonclaret

Vincent Kompany had a long and distinguished career at both club and international level winning numerous trophies along the way. But, the same could be said of Frank Lampard who struggled to have any real success at managing in the PL thus far anyway. Kompany played the majority of his career at th...

That we deserved to win of course, as Roy said at the time. Oh dear, rewriting history again. Roy never stated in his post match interview that “Burnley deserved to win”. What he did say was that a truer reflection of the game would have been a 0-1 victory gained by hard work and diligence but that...

kentonclaret

This game is the reason I have long said there is little difference between us and these teams. Add the VAR / ref robberies and our points are similar to Forest and Palace (Dyche of course would have Everton a bit higher but for the points deduction, because of a rock solid defence, but the rest of...

Think that is a perfect description to be honest.

A great leader, calm head, gets a shift out of his team which most fans will take when things elsewhere are struggling.

Still can’t get his team to win after falling behind though.

kentonclaret

Vk had amassed over 100 appearances for anderlecht and Hamburg by time he was 21 and made his debut for Belgium 1st team at 18. Burnley have thus far conceded 55 goals, the worst defensive record apart from bottom club Sheffield United. VK may well have an impressive record as a player but the stat...

Not many English football managers speak four foreign languages or read John Updike.

Vincent Kompany speaks 5 foreign languages (reportedly) but know nothing about his bedtime reading.

This group of cowards won’t get us back up but I’m hoping I’m wrong I agree. I just have this nagging feeling that VK may have been a “one season wonder” and what we saw last season will be as good as it is going to get. I cannot see us running away with the league with a team of 18-24 year olds, s...

Breaking News that Roy Hodgson has also decided to step down as Crystal Palace boss with immediate effect. Not entirely unexpected given his age and health scare but I wish him well and a full recovery.

kentonclaret

Well, let me put it this way, Alan Pace and the rest of the Burnley board won’t be organising an Open Top Bus Parade to celebrate it.

It always intrigues me how players become better players when they're not playing.

Muric?

We should get around £60m for this lad he becomes a better keeper every time Trafford plays.

Carlton Morris £1.3m; Ogbene free transfer; Adebayo (I suspect peanuts). Would you not love them in our team

Adebayo £250k signing from Walsall.

I enjoy watching games involving Man Utd in 2024 usually plenty of goals and attacking football. Luton reacting brilliantly making it end to end football.
More goals in 2nd half hopefully.

Yes. They've come to a bit recently and I expect a tough afternoon for Luton.
But they (Luton) seem to have a bit more steel than us, so we shall see.

Yeah, took United 37 Seconds to break them down.

Despite all of the flak directed at the club and manager Manchester United have had some good results in 2024. A lot of pace in attack and a striker in form.

The main problem (which I highlighted a while ago now) was that the players with PL experience that played in the Championship were coming towards the end of their careers, and had one final season in them as a swan song. Ashley Barnes a case in point. Part of the summer recruitment should have incl...

"they always have been" Bullshit. European finish and 10th place finish under Dyche. On a pittance budget wise. Burnley FC didn't begin when ALK took over the club, no matter how much they like to erase the history and accomplishments of what came before and pretend that their vision of "Europe in ...

You would have thought Luton would have been the stand out side to go down with a very low points total. However their ability to take a risk on a few experienced players, their fight and spirit, and the leadership and motivation of their very talented young manager all exceed the bringing in of so...

kentonclaret

At least we can’t blame woeful finishing since we couldn’t muster a single shot on target for the entire 90+ minutes.

Trafford to blame for the defeat for sure.
