Name the next manager

[Les Lawrence]

Maybe if garlick is back in charge, he's looking at a cheaper option than VK. Phil Brown, John Coleman,??

That man should be nowhere near Burnley FC ever again.

[NewClaret]

Would absolutely not shock me if the post relegation silence is related to a reallocation of shares and change of control.

[Les Lawrence]

Think it's nailed on, that's what the delay is.

[lrac]

Sorry vk ?

[Nonayforever]

Maybe the holdup is something to do with letting the dust settle with Mee leaving before VK is appointed.
If VK was appointed last week and then let Mee go this week that, in some fans eyes, is an immediate reason to be negative towards the new manager and board.
By doing it this way some fans, probably the ones that don't like ALK , will still resent the board but accept the new manager.

If that was the case, they would have announced that Mee was leaving a week ago.

Jesus wept, this thread is embarrassing.

So we’ve not announced Kompany because we are waiting for investment, he hasn’t got a work permit, control of the club is passing back to the previous owners and now it’s to avoid him being blamed for a player who’s hasn’t yet left, leaving.

I’m sure I’ve missed a few other mad calls conspiracy theories.

So what's your conspiracy theory why he hasn't signed ?

[Lancasterclaret]

Alan Pace is a deep cover Rovers secret agent

[arise_sir_charge]

So what's your conspiracy theory why he hasn't signed ?

I think it’s likely to be work permit related more than anything. That’s the only one I’ve listed that isn’t ridiculous and is in some way logical.

[Nonayforever]

You stated above that not having a work permit was a mad call conspiracy theory

Try reading the post you’ve just quoted.

[spt_claret]

Anyone think the delay is related to the recent Ben Mee news? Perhaps Kompany didn’t want Ben… let’s face it, Ben could be seen by Kompany as a disruptive influence over some of the existing players… not that I think he would though

How is the club captain a disruptive influence?

[Zlatan]

How is the club captain a disruptive influence?

There can only be one authoritative voice in the dressing room. It is likely that Ben is likely to be trained in the Dyche way of thinking so ergo his voice may be seen as disruptive to a new manager. Pure speculation of course, but educated guess that it could be a factor. All my own opinion of course

[Taffy on the wing]

Good article. Thanks for sharing.

[Jamesy]

Okay so you don't know, you're just going off what you've seen in reports.

That's fine, I've seen the Nixon stuff too and he's sure it's at that stage/

But just to repeat, Conte, Ten Hag and Rangnick, three overseas appointments this season, were announced BEFORE work permits were accepted.

Work permits being accepted as seen as a formality now. With the club in a position where some positivity would be nice, if it was at the same stage as the aforementioned managers / announcements, why would it not already be out there?

Agreed. The work permit b@locks is just something that is convenient for the optimistic happy clappers on here. Let’s keep happy clapping down to the lower echelons of the football pyramid. Unless of course we go bust first with these chancers in charge of our famous old football club.

Good article that. Also helps to explain why the board may not be so bothered about getting Ben Mee to sign.

Kompany will have come in and made it clear that he wants to try and lower the average age of the squad.

I can’t see that considering that Ben was instrumental in Dyches departure and then became a part of the management team.

Embarrassing? So why have we not appointed him yet? Don’t you think that something is very wrong in that he hasn’t been named as manager yet? It wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up at our near neighbours up the road in those blue and white jester shirts. Probably got more chance of getting them promoted than us.

[AwayClaret]

Dear me.

I think you need a lie down pal.

[Jamesy]

I think you will all be needing a lie down next week when you learn Kompany isn’t coming. Just remember, it’s the hope that kills you.

After Newcastle at home, I'm all hoped out.
More que sera sera for me now.
Much as we may dislike it, we're just paying passengers, the captain's up front with the door locked.

If Kompany doesn’t come then I’ll just deal with my emotions like an adult.

[Sozturf7]

The rubbish on here at times. But we all knew when we were relegated that they would come out of the woodwork. So I don't think that we won't have a good manager and a good championship team to kick off the season with.

If its Kompany it is,If its somebody else it is,The new Manager will make the decisions,who he wants,who goes,who he wants to stay,We have been through all this before after Relegation,Harry Potts,Jimmy Adamson,Joe Brown,John Bond,Brian Miller,Frank Casper,Jimmy Mullen,Steve Cotterill,Stan Ternent,Sean Dyche,etc,Keep The Faith,WE WILL BOUNCE BACK,UTC.

Listen, just because people are concerned or critical about our current situation doesn’t mean we will stop supporting Burnley.
As they say, you can change your wife or friends but not your football club. I’m not optimistic about the future under the current ownership, however as long as we have a football club I will support them.

[Row Z]

Let’s hope the club are planning a week of positive announcements to fill the fan base with optimism.

New manager, decent team of staff, few new signings, contract extensions to retain some PL experience… all nerves will be settled.

Just one reason I can’t wholeheartedly agree with you.
The club now is unrecognisable from our past history. It’s just taking some people longer than others to recognise this.

[pureclaret]

I am normally the person who's glass half full is a good thing, but today I feel that our glass is half empty and by the time we have any manager in place we will be behind the 8 ball and as I cue the white ball I catch the half empty glass, I hope some one out there can catch it before it hits the floor or even before it falls off the table

[Andreshotboots]

There could well be transfer work already being undertaken behind the scenes, before the announcement? Just trying to be positive

[CharlieinNewMexico]

But, in BFC's case it has always been about Lack of Pace. why should this be any different?

Pace is “peace” in Catalan.

Alan studied in Barcelona.

There’s your clue

[Quickenthetempo]

If they've applied for a visa he is.

They have applied for another Visa card I'm afraid.

its the same unverified account that told us that Gladbach were sniffing around him but that is not being reported anywhere else

It wasn't then, and it isn't now

Do us a favour Newcastle eh?

To be fair I didn’t say it was reliable.

I just said there’s a report.

I'm not sure it helps the incredibly flaky fan base on here to report stuff online that is so obviously click bait

Each to their own I suppose

It looked fairly legit. But I guess on second look it’s not the best. My opinion is any news is better than none, at least it gives a little hope
