Re: What will Sean's history show at Burnley?

He's the only burnley manager to get promoted to the top flight TWICE, and keep us there for at LEAST 3 consecutive years.

I'm talking about Sean's transfer dealings, not the last 19 years. He has made some good signings in his time, but they have dried up more and more each year. He has got to the point where he can no longer make sufficient deals to strengthen the squad. I am not saying that is Sean's fault, but if he isn't happy needs to be making the board aware of how important it is to him and be prepared to backup the talk. Sometimes that takes calling them out in public. That is how other managers get their owners to back them up.TVC15 wrote:And in the same way people like you churn out the same rubbish about “real fans” and not being able to criticise the club etc....I agree it’s just boring rhetoric on both sides.
So dealing with both your big issues about the club.
1. Transfers - personally I do not know any burnley fan who has not been critical to some degree about our transfer record at some point or other. The difference between me and you though is that you say we fail to compete in every window and me and most other fans see that we have made lots of good signings in the last 19 years which have given us some of the best players we have seen in a claret shirt.
2. Disrespect for the cup - see my above response and get used to us doing what every other team does or you are going to be fed up for a long time
Again, where have I said he isn't an amazing manager and the best we could get?RingoMcCartney wrote:He's the only burnley manager to get promoted to the top flight TWICE, and keep us there for at LEAST 3 consecutive years.
SO are you advocating dropping through the leagues, so we can win the Checkatrade trophy..... something no Burnley manager has ever achieved, so kids can look at a shiny trophy in a trophy cabinet...... or are you saying we should be winning the Premier League and putting that trophy in there? I am confused.Steddyman wrote:But they won’t and yes I’ve done the tour twice. Championship runners up and winners are the only things in there from Dyche and as long as we stay in the Premeir League those are the only items that will be in there.
I think just having a bit more ambition than finishing 17th every year is all some of us are asking for.dandeclaret wrote:SO are you advocating dropping through the leagues, so we can win the Checkatrade trophy..... something no Burnley manager has ever achieved, so kids can look at a shiny trophy in a trophy cabinet...... or are you saying we should be winning the Premier League and putting that trophy in there?

You don't get trophies for surviving in the Premier League or getting kicked out of Europe early. He is choosing to not leave his mark in the trophy cabinet and I think that is a shame.
You mean that he should follow Rafa's lead at Newcastle? That seems to do a lot of good, it really gets the fans going against Mike Ashley and he has very broad shoulders and is owed a lot of money by the club, however, he just carried on regardless in spite of all the protestations.Steddyman wrote:I'm talking about Sean's transfer dealings, not the last 19 years.

Yep I know you were not talking about the last 19 years but you said every window so assume you meant every window under Dyche ? Or do you just mean the couple of bad windows we have had when we didn’t sign Heaton, Pope, JBG, Tarks, Keane, etc etc etc ?Steddyman wrote:I'm talking about Sean's transfer dealings, not the last 19 years.

You may not. But its something im proud we have won. And have a picture celebrating that great win hanging proudly at home.Spiral wrote:Literally nobody talks about the FA cup win. One league title, perhaps, but none of that helps us keep Tarkowski if we're relegated. You need to be more realistic.
Hi Steddy, what makes you think that Sean Dyche and Mike Garlick and John B aren't 100% aligned in all the activities of the club?Steddyman wrote:I'm talking about Sean's transfer dealings, not the last 19 years.

and, I would recommend any fan who doesn't understand what that means should get themselves down to Manchester (utd or city), Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal or Tottenham.JohnMac wrote:The best manager we have had since the maximum wage was abolished.
I get that, it's more the mindset that the club and some of our fans have developed. Where is the excitement in simply aiming to survive every year? Apart from the European games back in the summer this season has been absolutely dismal. Maybe it's modern football that I'm falling out of love with? The way our away followings have plummeted this season shows it's not just me who's a bit bored with it at the moment.dandeclaret wrote:But there's no trophies for finishing above 17th, unless you finish first. That's what the OP was asking for, and latterly stating we wouldn't get them if we stayed in the prem.
Id suggest this logic by Rod Liddle is a little flawed. Its far more likely that a top manager is not going to have been a top player as top players by definition are a small percentage of the overall volume of professional footballers in the world.Paul Waine wrote:Extract from Rod Liddle in today's Sunday Times, Sport section:
"History tends to show us that the majority of the most successful managers have a good grounding in the game at a decent professional level but never quite set the world alight. Sir Alex Ferguson was a handy forward, but never made the full Scotland team; Arsène Wenger, meanwhile, was decidedly average.
Jurgen Klopp was a fairly anonymous water-carrier for Mainz for 10 years, and while both Mauricio Pochettino and Pep Guardiola represented their respective countries, neither were the really big stars of their day. Bill Shankly got a handful of caps for his country, Bob Paisley none at all. Brian Clough’s superb goalscoring record was confined, in the main, to the second division and he played only twice for England. The two best English managers in the Premier League right now, Eddie Howe and Sean Dyche, had their playing career highlights at Bournemouth and Watford respectively and never got near full international recognition."
So, what does that suggest Sean's history will show at Burnley? Certainly, one of the best English managers of current times - and Sean is still writing his history. Let's take a look again in another 10 years time.

Hi DA, Liddle's article is about Thierry Henry va-va-vamooshing away from Monaco. Probably best that you read his article. My summary: great players rarely make great managers because they know that as a manager there are few, if any players in their team that are as good as the manager was as a player. So, their man management isn't great.Devils_Advocate wrote:Id suggest this logic by Rod Liddle is a little flawed.

If for every top player that goes into coaching/management there is say 1000 decidedly average professional players than everything else being equal it is a thousand times more likely the average player will make it as a top manager over the superstar footballers.
There's other factors involved obviously but the idea is that the 0.001 % of players should end up as one of the best 20 or 30 managers in the world just doesnt add up
Fair enough then its your summary rather than the full article I disagree with. I stand by that if you have thousands of footballers going into management and only a small % of them are considered top players then the chance of one of the top players reaching the top of the management profession is logically small. We'll just have to disagree on this one cos we both have a clear opinion on thisPaul Waine wrote:Hi DA, Liddle's article is about Thierry Henry va-va-vamooshing away from Monaco.

I'd suggest, humbly, that you've missed the point. Yes, there are only a few top players and a lot more "average" footballers - but, there are also only a limited number of top clubs, a maximum of 20 in any season in the Premier League, for example.
Two promotions, taken us to a level we haven't seen like this for over 40 years. His success outdoes every manager since Harry Potts. That's his mark and no shame in that.Steddyman wrote:In years to come when kids come to do the tour of the ground, what will be there to shows Sean's success?
