The Technical Director's role
There has been much discussion in various threads about SD's style of football. I wonder if the new Technical Director will have much influence in this area as well as in the targets for recruitment. ?
Re: The Technical Director's role
I don't think a Technical director has a say in the football played on the pitch or why would we have a Manager/Coach but ..... I might be wrong

Re: The Technical Director's role
Come on peeps...the football being served up week after week is shite. SD always talks about progression and improving. Where is the improvement and progress in the last 12 months. Happy clap as much as you like but SD is only taking hs down. I have said this since the season began and every game so far bar Bournemouth has strsngthened my belief

Re: The Technical Director's role
Not vocal on here about it although I was starting to get bored of going watching us. The way SD approached the transfer window was the final nail in the coffin for me. He often talks about growing and developing the squad yet is so stuck in his ways he refuses to adapt himself.
His treatment of Heaton has been shocking. His refusal to play Vydra is head scratching. His playing Tarkowski although he was injured is disgraceful.

Why not give up on the club now instead of next season like you said you are doing, save you a lot of hurt.

Simple solution...don`t go on the games. You will be happier and so will all of we.Cleveleys_claret wrote:Not vocal on here about it although I was starting to get bored of going watching us.

Why would somebody who hates something so much waste time and money on that same thing ?
Re: The Technical Director's role
How long would you give a new manager btw, if we ended up in a worse position?Cleveleys_claret wrote:Not vocal on here about it although I was starting to get bored of going watching us.

As for Heaton, what would have happened had he played against Southampton and had a re-occurrence of his shoulder injury?
We needed cover fast, and you would have been one of the first to moan if we'd had to play Legzdins in goal.

Never said such a thing, I did say that i will not waste anymore money going to away games while the football is so dreadful. Fingers crossed next season we wont have SD in charge and will have a manager that has us playing football. Not bothered what division we are in

Re: The Technical Director's role
The length of a contract. I am a great believer in it takes a manager 12 months at least to mould a team to what he wants. But you kind of get early signs in patches of what the team is going to be like. With SD it was tight at the back with flashes of attacking play which was fine by me. BUT we are have regressed massively over the last 12 months and when you look at the squad we are probably as bad as we have been since we have been in the Premiership this time aroundSpijed wrote:How long would you give a new manager btw, if we ended up in a worse position?

Heaton came out and stated in a national newspaper interview which was permitted by the club that he was fit for the Southampton game.
And as SD tell us in interviews he allows the players to tell him when they are fit rather than the other way around. Therefore he made the decision to overlook Heaton for Hart ( who I have nothing against and think it is ashame how it is going for him as he is probs the best gk at the club, just doesnt fit our structure)

Re: The Technical Director's role
Except we haven't regressed. Last season was an anomoly, a freak set of circumstances that wasn't likely to be repeated any time soon. Did you expect us to push on from 7th? Maybe a run to the Champions League? Challenging Manchester city at the top of the league perhaps?Cleveleys_claret wrote:The length of a contract.

We are currently exactly where most neutrals and Clarets expected us to be last season - in amongst a battle to survive relegation.
We are outside the relegation zone in 17th position and I would be delighted if we ènded up finishing the season there.

I didn't think anyone could think that, but some of the posts on here and some of the comments at the ground suggest that is exactly what they thought.

So you won't waste money on away games as you put it but are happy to waste money on home games ?
Why though? Just leave now and be happy, you might even find you stop acting like 2 year old on a forum

Re: The Technical Director's role
No I didnt and as SD has often stated it is not position dependent when talking about progression. Yes the facilities are fantastic. The youth team seems to finally have a structure and I am hopeful in the next 4 or 5 years of us reaping the rewards for that. All to be thankful to SD and the board for building us a legacy.Braindead wrote:Except we haven't regressed.

But and this is a massive but, the performances are shocking. We have internationals that cant pass a ball, beat a man, play through balls. This is down to coaching, no other reason, the players are having their flair coached out of them. Hendrick the other week was outstanding for his country and put in a performance akin to nothing he has put in for us recently. Because he is playing in his natural position. We sign players and dont play them because of a lack of trust in them performing the ugly side of the game. I dont mind this as we are Burnley and we have to fight for everything but when players cant pass 5 yards and just hoof it when they are being paid 30k plus....something is inherently wrong. Wingers cant beat their man and dont even try, rather cutting inside to already congested areas rather than stretch the pitch to give our forwards more room.

Re: The Technical Director's role
I already have the familys four season tickets and why should I stop going on? I dont moan when I am on the ground and have never once booed a player or manager of ours (except Paul Stewart). I always believe we will turn it around and despite my negative outlook on here I would never be negative around my children. I want them to be going on when I am well gone and taking on their kids regardless of the division we are in. I wont lie in here though that the football is enjoyable. This is a forum where we all have opinions, i dont shoot down anyone elses opinions and often look to posts which question and slate me and try to find positives in them so that I can maybe change my point of view. But no matter what has been said and how many times I try to think positive I keep getting let down on game day. Not by losses, I get we are going to lose more than win but with the lack of passing, skill and effortclaretonthecoast1882 wrote:So you won't waste money on away games as you put it but are happy to waste money on home games ?
