And I didn’t say you’re pretending because I disagree with your opinion on VK, I said that because you practically said it yourself when you admitted to not watching games. Yet you’re on here stirring the pot after defeats.. And frankly anyone who thinks we were a boring tippy tappy crap lucky side ...

KRBFC

They just love to listen to their own opinion repeated back to themselves, must be comforting. Echo chamber springs to mind! You said yourself you haven’t been watching our games this season, yet you comment after every result? you also said last season was boring tippy tappy football and we were f...

What happens last season is of no relevance.

Why is it not relevant? Winning the title with 3 losses and 100+ points is now suddenly irrelevant to BFC fans? It’s the division we will be playing in next season.

Mark Robins.

Why what has he ever achieved? He’s had like 8 seasons in the Championship?

KRBFC

From what I've seen of McKenna he has certainly got the best out of the resource he's had available at Ipswich, and he's competing with bigger teams. That's a scenario that we could well find ourselves in again- so there's possibly some synergy there. Ultimately I'm a man who wants to see a manager...

KRBFC

Am I in charge of recruiting the next manager now? You're requirements are winning a league in England or a foreign league then- so you wouldn't consider Potter? (Not that I think he would come, but you asked for a name). I'd be happy to take a punt on McKenna, like I said it doesn't matter that he...

KRBFC

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 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 ...

KRBFC

The ALK strategy is to buy a load of kids, and only kids, when they become good sell them on and pocket the profit. If that doesn’t work then assest strip. They are in this to make money and they will do that. If that means the clubs gets liquidated then so what? Why should they care! They are busi...

KRBFC

Depends on what the barometer is really - No doubt about it, last season was very enjoyable, a breathe of fresh air and a wildly successful season overall. Ultimately it only got us to where we were in August 2021, albeit with pretty much a brand new and much younger squad... Now we look to return ...

KRBFC

That's just not true at all and for a number of reasons. 1- We had money, we just didn't invest it in the squad. We used it to buy ourselves. 2- We had no debt, not only did we have money, we actually had 0 debt. We could have leveraged some just as ALK have, we'd have been in a much better positio...

KRBFC

Also it’s fickle to really make judgement on the strategy just yet, 6 months ago you would have said it was a success, now you will say failure, 6 months down the line you could be saying it’s a success again.

KRBFC

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the strategy, it’s just you have to find the balance. I’d be interested to know who VK wanted and who he was given, is he the fall guy? Was he really happy with the players we got? Also I don’t understand fans who are saying Ramsey is a waste of money, I thi...

KRBFC

Lukebakio with... checks notes... 2 goals in 12 for Sevilla? Some serious excuses made for VK. Any silly arse can go out and keep buying players - how about managing them in a way to maximise their ability to get results in the Premier League? It’s not an excuse for VK, it’s just the reality of rec...

KRBFC

What happens to a squad that’s checked out this season? Can you just pick them up and dust them down? Do you trust him with another major transfer window after the shambles the last two have been? He failed to spot the gaping holes in the squad and instead brought in winger after winger. He’s sent ...

KRBFC

I hated seeing our captain smile as he got sent off in a must win game, annoyed me probably more than it should’ve.

KRBFC

Also you can say GO without being utterly disrespectful and classless with comments like “ruined the club” “clueless” etc Just remember what this man achieved for this football club last season, you should be grateful to VK for that. Winning the title at Ewood. We are playing at this level because o...

KRBFC

He’s a very young inexperienced manager and it shows but I think long term he’ll develop into a manager good enough for this level. I think he’s been stitched up with some of the signings and some of those we didn’t get. I think he will accept mistakes were made and we simply couldn’t recover from t...

We aren't playing any different to last season, it's just that the quality of teams we're facing is higher.

We aren’t playing even remotely a similar system to last season though, I wish we were! One full back in midfield, one high and wide. High pressing. It’s all gone completely

KRBFC

I’ve no doubt all our players are technically good with the ball at their feet. Unfortunately you need more than that in a team like Burnley. I don’t disagree with you but if the structure of the side was better he could flourish. I’d love to see his distance covered stats, I feel like this lazy na...

Do you honestly reckon there'll be a repeat of that? No hangover? If yes then stick with him. I'm not so certain

There’s no such formula, there’s only one way to find out

KRBFC

We’ve had nothing but upheaval every window, the club is desperate for stability.

KRBFC

Major upheaval before an important Championship season where we will be favourites for the title just sounds incredibly stupid.

KRBFC

Doesn't work like that. This season's VK is not the same as last season's VK, and this season's Burnley is not the same as last season's Burnley. What's important is that we're currently insipid, with nothing to suggest we'll turn this around and lots to suggest we'll get worse. It sounds ludicrous...

KRBFC

You're right - he finished first then lost the playoff or whatever the hell they do. Again, as I said - left field (but half makes sense with our owners) Nancy would be a better fit, possession based style, 4 at the back. Had to replace their best player mid season in Zelaryan. I don’t want a 5 at ...

KRBFC

Pat Noonan did not win the MLS either, Wilfred Nancy did with Columbus Crew

KRBFC

I like Rosenior Carrick Robins and McKenna too but better than VK? I don’t see how

VK has never lost to any of those managers in 8 games. 6 wins and 2 draws.

KRBFC

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 the...

KRBFC

I wouldn’t declare myself a tactical expert but we are playing nothing like the formations last season. In most games I couldn’t even work out what formation we were playing. Nothing but 4 4 2 this season. Exactly which is the most disappointing thing for me, I’d rather we actually did go down play...

KRBFC

We even went to the Etihad last season and high pressed the life out of them, City fans were booing because their keeper was holding the ball until we forced him to boot it long. Fair enough we got pasted 6-0 in the end but I think most BFC fans were encouraged by our bravery and performance in the ...

KRBFC

No - he tried it at the beginning of the Season, Cullen was filling in at fullback but our Keeper and also the centre half he signed couldn't play the short stuff at any sort of speed and we just got pressed to death. Then he changed. At Spurs we saw a throwback to last season with Cullen splitting...

KRBFC

I’m still VK in, I believe he will learn from this season and put it right with time.

We should have stuck to our in depth VK system, 4231 inverted full back, high press possession and overloading the wide areas.

We didn’t recruit to play that way either.

KRBFC

I’ve said it many times but the most disappointing thing is we got promoted with an inverted fullback (Roberts), a high and wide full back (Maatsen), Cullen the deepest man at times collecting off the goalkeeper and filling in for the high full back. Inverted wingers, Gudmundsson not used wide but c...

KRBFC

Good grief, why has he taken Taylor off? Great impact by vitinho, this would allbe hilarious if it wasn't our beloved team Shows how players like Taylor can do no wrong on here, he was absolutely awful today and getting destroyed. 0 tackles won, 0 blocked crosses, possession lost 18 times, possessi...

KRBFC

What I don’t like about this club though, and this messageboard, is the singling out of 18, 19, 20, 21 year old players. We should be better than that as supporters. Players like Odobert will have quiet games at his age. He is a talent. Just supporters scapegoating players, it’s always been the sam...

Everything you've said when people have wrote the same time and time again, it's taken longer to sink in for you but your finally seeing what everybody has been seeing for months.

Yet last week was alright?

The majority of the season has been absolute crap, mistakes made in the summer window. We’re complete shite atm and lack a style of play badly. I still back VK long term but I question some of these decisions

KRBFC

There is zero style of play at all, zero patterns of play, just nothing

KRBFC

Absolutely dreadful, unacceptable performance. The team can’t even pass the ball forward with any kind of quality. A team with no confidence at all. I wish they could just relegate us already so we don’t have to suffer for the remaining games, just put us out of our misery and let’s get this squad s...

At least Brownhill thinks it’s funny

You didn't see the game at TM, did you?

Two big lads upfront and hit it in the box high at every opportunity. We sat back and allowed them to have the ball and they were clueless and toothless.

KRBFC

You're a strange bloke; always resort to exaggerated statements and extreme positions, which might be intended to challenge others' opinions but really just makes you look childish. Yes they were a considerable amount of points behind us last season and yet this year have considerably bridged that ...

Luton and Edwards are so good but we are so rubbish, yet we’ve taken 4 points off them and they needed a last minute rugby punt and foul to nick a goal.

Luton so good, I can’t remember the last time we lost to them.

KRBFC

Why do we have Luton fans posting on here? Where were you lot last season when you were 50 points behind Burnley? They’re nothing we haven’t seen before, just another crap tiny club scraping a few results here and there playing turd lower league football. No different to Blackpool. When they get rel...

Also while we’re on a Ramsey thread how did Westleigh avoid a ban for his comment….

He said “Ramsey down rolling around like he’s been shot”, yes he said that about one of his supposed own players who was helped off on a stretcher and is out for the season

If you don’t think it’s data protection then what do you think it is? And in terms of semi pro contracts, I wouldn’t expect them to stipulate anything with regards to clubs disclosing player injuries because players are protected by GDPR. I agree with Big Vinny, if it was data protection then why a...
