Name the next manager

[2 Bee Holed]

Reductive:

That's twice I have read that word on here today.
I don't recall it having been used before on here, has it?

[Rileybobs]

why is it unrealistic ? As an example and with zero thought time Jed Wallace on a free would be better than JBG

Would Jed Wallace be better than McNeil and Cornet, if they were to leave for example? I'm not saying that we can't improve on any of our players.

[Rileybobs]

I can't believe I've just read someone say we might have stayed up with Dyches tactics in the last game when Jackson had to jump through hoops to get us to the last day fighting because Sean couldn't get us to that position. Think I need to take a break from here!!

Maybe re-read what I wrote, and if you still don't understand then it could be time to take a break.

[Vegas Claret]

Not sure, McNeil needs to find his way again. Cornet is decent. It is undoubtedly hard to judge though I agree, but if you look through our current team it's probably only Westwood, McNeil, Cornet and Wout (maybe Lennon ?) that haven't played a decent amount of time in the Championship. The judgement is well and truly out on WW imho

edit: what I would say Riley is that if it turns out to be Kompany there are some brilliant players in Belgium and he'll know exactly who they are and if he can get them. He won't be coming to us if there is no money to spend

[KRBFC]

Another example was at home to Brighton. He brought Barnes on for another striker as a reaction to them adding to their midfield with Lallana / MacAllister. Rather than look to retain the ball better ourselves. We lost 2-1 with both their subs involved.

Leeds was the very next home game too, zero lesson learnt. There was clear bias in Dyche's selections too, the decision to drop Cork for an out of form Westwood was a shocker. Collins was brilliant but then dropped the next game. Taylor leaking goals every game still picked every game.

[Taffy on the wing]

How disappointing.......was hoping we'd have signed Kompany by now!
What's the hold up?
Everyone was so sure it's happening.

[Hipper]

Saw on Sky Sports News ticker tape that Anderlecht and Kompany have parted, er, company.

Edit. I guess someone has already mentioned this!

We are waiting for the delivery of the letter 'K' for the back of the shirts, someone ordered a bunch of 'C' by mistake

[quoonbeatz]

Welcome Van Son.

How long do you think multi million pound appointments take? Even before identifying a complete backroom staff and negotiating their terms

[alwaysaclaret]

News on kompany seems to have dried up, after every news feed had been reporting for at least the last 3 days, million dollar question is will he or won't he.

[quoonbeatz]

Will.

[RVclaret]

Pretty confident he will. When CT and Boden reckon it’s done, it’s probably done. Probably some formalities and paperwork to dust off, plus all the announcement content / interviews they will be creating.

[nyclaret]

I predict it will be announced tomorrow.

[Taffy on the wing]

Too long apparently!

[dsr]

If they're as quick to announce this arrival as they are to announce some of the departures, then we'd better wait and see who leads the team out on 30th July.

[gandhisflipflop]

The question is, does CT have his article ready?

[jedi_master]

It would be good to have him place this week. I feel more than ever we need to crack on with renewals/releases and getting new signings in the building ASAP.

Amazingly, the new season starts 9 weeks on Saturday!

[ClaretTony]

The question is, does CT have his article ready?

Yes, only a short one but yes.

For those concerned about the delay, I don’t think there is one, it is just not a quick process sometimes agreeing all the detail of a contract. I’ve certainly heard nothing today to suggest anything has gone or is going wrong.

If we are not on tv it will be half time in our first game in 65 days.

[pushpinpussy]

i hope the delay means this is not happening. Of all the things that have happened at our club since the yank took over this is the most un Burnley like one.

[Colburn_Claret]

Agree with the sentiment, but not on Taylor. He was marking 2 men on his own, and Dwight was doing nothing to help. I said before they equalised, and still do today, if SD had brought Pieters on for Dwight, we'd have won that game.
Winning the opener would probably have helped us to hold onto the win against Leeds the next match. Those 2 home matches set us up for the season that was to follow, it could have all been so different.

Clear Direction, strategy, decisive, ambitious. I agree!

Go on, I’ll bite. Define a ‘Burnley like one’.

do you hyperventilate when you have to leave Burnley for anything ? The fact it's the most un Burnley like thing is the entire point

[pushpinpussy]

the point is that the yanks are gambling with the future of our club. Burnley do not employ foreign managers with no championship experience. its a massive no from me.

What does the fact he’s from Belgium have to do with it, you’re making yourself look really childish at the minute

Pussy is finding it tough to let go of Sean Dyche !

“Childish”?? He’s expressing a point of view which happens to differ from your own.

He's trolling - it's his MO on here, but I always cut him some slack because he obviously lives a very dull life.

Are you another one hiding in plain sight mate?

Sorry, I meant bias in selection throughout the last year or two, not specifically the Leeds game. I agree Pieters for Dwight, double up on Raphina and we take 3 points instead of 1.

[pushpinpussy]

I know that the majority of Burnley fans don’t take the posters on this board seriously mainly because the bulk of you never attend games but I for one am shocked that so called Burnley fans think it’s a good idea to employ a manager because he’s a big name. I still think your all on a wind-up mission. If this doesn’t happen I will be having a nice cuban and whiskey tonight to celebrate.

[pushpinpussy]

some people need to insult others. it makes them feel better. i tend just to ignore them. like bullies they usually go away.

I don’t think anyones said it’s a good idea just because he’s a big name. Try harder.

[pushpinpussy]

of course people are only excited because its VK. he's won nothing as a manager. has very little experience as a manager and no experience in England at all. are you all blind here.

[Vegas Claret]

last time I checked Pep was regarded as one of the best managers in the World and probably the history of the game - not a bad person to lean on for advice for Kompany.

[AwayClaret]

"No experience in England"

[arise_sir_charge]

It’s childish because it’s clearly a wind up.

He’s been at it for days.

[tiger76]

What by appointing a young ambitious manager who has plenty of contacts in the game, and will generate a much needed buzz to the club.

If you aren't trolling, if not Kompany then who would you appoint?

[Murger]

He's more experienced than Dyche was when he took over.

Slaven Bilic. managed in the English league. managed at international level. loads of contacts and got massive managerial experience.

[Long in the tooth]

So we have a shortlist of three with no slaven bilic on it and you want him to manage our club? Leave it to PACE and Co to decide. Think it could be a good appointment but who knows. Would you have chosen Dyche?
