Name the next manager

[Cubanforever]

He does live near Clitheroe anyway so hopefully just mischief

[Stu]

Jeeez please don't let this be true....did you see Sunderland Till I Die.....he has not got a fekin clue

Grayson is in to 20/1 in the betting hope to god there is nothing in this .

[Hedontplayforyou]

He was out having a drink with his missus , calm down

[DCWat]

We’ll have someone lined up only for them to turn it down last minute and put us back to square one.

Someone will have read this thread and shoved a few quid on it thinking they are going to do one on the bookies.

Doesn’t take much to sway odds in these markets so wouldn’t read too much into anything.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Wonder if it’ll be a name nobody has suggested

[colne-claret]

And I hear he very nearly did, seem to remember he got so far as to be house hunting around Pendle from memory.

He lived in pendle when he was Blackpool manager. Was regularly in Pendle Inn.

[boatshed bill]

I think Carrick would be a great choice.

[DCWat]

I think Carrick would be a great choice.

I’m not saying that he couldn’t be a decent manager, but I do think we need someone that’s not a complete beginner at it.

[clansman]

Emma Hates. Chelsea womens manager. Bright , superb tactician and tough.

[clansman]

Hayes not hates!!

[claretabroad]

Knutsen at Bodo Glimt.

[elwaclaret]

He lived in pendle when he was Blackpool manager. Was regularly in Pendle Inn.

Now you’ve mentioned that, I can remember saying hello to him in there at the time, he was chatting to Jimmy Robson (I’d just pop in when up there with the dogs), I was never a regular.

[boatshed bill]

Hayes not hates!!

Hates is OK

[Middle-agedClaret]

Hates never wins…

[clansman]

First premier club with a female manager! It would appeal to our media savvy owners.

[Boydesque]

And I would hand back my season ticket expect no refund but make a massive huge stance about women in men’s football

[Boydesque]

Watching the itv news who gives a **** about women’s football
Incredible when will this bullshit end

[Spiral]

Hilarious. Not that this will happen, but I'd love for it to happen just to see the reaction. I want to see just how crimson a gammon's face can get before his heart pops.

[Penwortham_Claret]

Interesting that carrick has gone from 50-1 today into 12-1

I posted on Friday that conversations had been had

[2 Bee Holed]

Carrick?

I recall the last recently retired Utd player we appointed as manager.
He didn't have any management experience either.
It didn't last long or turn out well.

[superdimitri]

Can you imagine the meltdown Watford fans have every time they sack a manager if it's the same as those on here?
Common everyone, managers come and do. I love Dyche but like he will, we all move on.

[jurek]

Not sure who but would prefer a young, up and coming manager
who has the drive and ambition to develop the team.
We need a major overhaul (wherever we end up) so that would give
the new manager the chance to make his mark.
Hopefully relatively quickly especially if we 're in the Championship.
Wouldn't mind if he's an overseas manager as long as he is happy to buy into
the challenge of being a small town team that punches above its weight.

Quite like the sound of Nathan Jones at Luton. He's done well to get them
challenging for a play off place. And they play decent football.
Not sure how young/old he is?

[Steddyman]

If it does turn out to be BFS, I'm cancelling my season ticket.

You are welcome.

Don't understand why Billy Mercer had to go also

Probably because Nick Pope will be gone in the summer. World Cup selection must be his aim so will go to another Prem team. Billy Mercer probably decided he will stick with Sean Dyche and go wherever he goes so is leaving Burnley, not a surprise for me.

[LaLigaClaret]

I wonder who Alan Pace turned to for advice on who next given his lack of experience on picking managers. It seems David Unsworth might be the one who is looking favourite, though Carrick, Duff and Phelan could be in the frame. Ex- Burnley connections might be thought to be useful in placating fans who are venting their anger however I do think they might go for a short term manager who is known to keep teams up when in desperate situations then go for someone else in the summer. I have no particular preference at the moment but hope they go for someone who has a change in formation, a change in tactics, who is hungry, younger but with some experience at Championship level at least.

Was it his choice to leave?

[MG70]

yes I know but Tony might have a link to old clarets mad topic. I think I remember the fans wanting Mick McCarthy and there were rumours of paolo di canio. What i do remember is that the other two that were interviewed were low profile and possibly scotttish.
I think there was a lot of negativity around Dyches appointment.
Might be wrong usually am

I for one was underwhelmed with Dyche’s appointment. It goes to show we as fans haven’t a clue.

[texasbrit]

Roy Keane, and Loughlan
they have worked together previously and the no nonsense approach from keene with loughlans tactical brain is what we need to try and survive, they would be OK in the championships if it comes tonthsy

[barrowclaret]

Nemanja Matic

[SkiptonClaret]

Pace wanted shut of Dyche in January according to an article in today’s Sunday People. As I said it’s the right decision but January would have been better timing. Unfortunately the same article suggests he wanted Steve Bruce as the replacement. Wow, I was hoping we were going to move away from dinosaurs, otherwise what’s the point of potting Dyche ?

[Swizzlestick]

Hmm, not always. Fans are naturally going to be more emotional rather than rational but you could argue they were right about the Laws appointment, for instance. You’re obviously going to weigh up a manager’s track record and considering Dyche had just been potted by Watford, it’s natural to be wary. It’s a dive into the unknown and it paid off - it wasn’t like he wasn’t supported from day one

[Willy]

Not read all this post but I wouldn't mind the Bodo Glimt manager who would tick a lot of boxes.
They were knocked out of Europe on Thursdday with Dyche sacked on Friday?

[Funkydrummer]

There's quite a number of coincidences referred to
on this thread. I wonder which one, if any, proves to be
the correct one.

[Funkydrummer]

I'm not one to take my ball home, but if Keane gets anywhere
near our club, I'm off for a refund.

[Lancasterclaret]

Carrick is interesting

Keane/Bruce are proper head wobblers

[DCWat]

Carrick would be a big gamble - I’ve a lot of time for him though and do think he could make a good manager (not that a few interviews on TV is exactly the most rigorous of assessments to lead to that view).

[Funkydrummer]

Mike and the mechanics would be Ace, but for how long ?

[Mala591]

We need a manager with a reputation for playing a high tempo, aggressive, attacking game based on accurate passing and good movement off the ball. I’m still convinced it will be a European manager (not British) with good experience of European players.

Nuno Santo should definitely be on the shortlist.

[ClaretMov]

Surely Mercer works for Burnley not Dyche, Mercer could end up in the championship on half money

[willsclarets]

We should avoid anyone with zero experience like Michael Carrick. He's done absolutely nothing to suggest he'd do a good job.

I’d absolutely love nuno. The cynic in me says why would he come here?

[Ric_C]

Isn't Nuno just a Portuguese Dyche though? His football is pretty dull to watch.

[Murger]

The only thing he's got in his favour are his possible contacts. But as I said with regards to Emma Hayes, now isn't the time for experimenting.

[tiger76]

If we could attract Nuno that would be a heck of a coup, but like you I can't see him being interested in Burnley.
