Have Faith in the Project!!

[thelifeofbrian]

we are Burnley FC!
We are ahead of where we should be!
We have Big Vinnie at the wheel!
We have a wrath of young talent!

Get behind Vinnie and the boys- we can still do this!

[Murger]

**** Vinny and **** the project. I’m sick of it all.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

[ksrclaret]

Up there with "don't tell him, Pike"

[claptrappers_union]

And what is the project?

[Aclaret]

.....now isn't the time Brian

[bfcjg]

thelifeofbrian.... Vincent is not the messiah, he's just a very naughty boy.

[Wokingclaret]

"Get behind Vinnie and the boys- we can still do this!"

No we can't and has been since the start of the Season

[oswyclaret]

I have faith that I'm going to win the lottery....but it won't happen, will it!

[Vegas Claret]

It needs tweaking. We need some men in the team

[Belgianclaret]

We’re not far off, 7 or 8 changes should do it

[StayingDown4Ever]

It needs tweaking. We need some men in the team

Tweaking!?

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

We’re even worse than Everton didn’t think that was possible

[Vegas Claret]

Tweaking!?

yes tweaking

[burnleymik]

I could get behind him if we were losing but there were positive signs, but incredibly despite how awful we have been this season, we have actually managed to get even worse.

He won't change the glaringly obvious problem and just can't adapt.

I can't see the benefits of keeping him. The players have clearly lost faith and now many of us fans. His reputation and pulling power will have been hugely depleted with this season and players wil be hesitant of joining him after seeing how some of our championship winning players have been treated.

I can't see the positives of holding onto him other than finances.

[Aclaret]

yes tweaking

Tweaking Vegas ?.....more a massive Twonking I'd say.

[Boss Hogg]

The project is sh*t. Show some fight.

[kentonclaret]

Before kick off today Burnley were priced up at 1/6 to be relegated but following another defeat are now 1/9.

Can Pace afford to sack Kompany given the parlous state of the club’s financial position?

He did with SD he had only signed a ? 4 year extensión was it 4 months prior.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

"the project" is BS speak for the gullible. Anyone can say " trust the project or trust the process" without actually giving any detail or updates as to what the project actually is.

Do people think that our project remains the same as when it was 1st mentioned given our unexpected windfall, because if it does well........

[fidelcastro]

Kompany has just been on Radio Lancs.

He said something on the lines of "There are millions who play football and do you know what the odds are on getting to the premier league"?!!!

Clueless!

The only Millions he should be talking about are the ones he's spunked up the wall!

The only millions I'm interested in now is how many it will take to pay him off.

Just get him out of the club now.

Significantly less than he's spent (wasted), surely?

If he said it in those words it worries me. Does he not realise we are already in the PL and accordingly expect to have a group of players that are drilled, well organised and a get stuck in.

Ahh the old “ahead” promoted a year early.

All that means is we planned on being in the PL next season but we’ll be in the Championship

[ksrclaret]

Well yes, you'd certainly hope so. Whatever the figure comes to, just pay it and let's have him out.

What worries me is that we're going to spend the next few years desperately trying to offload the absolute shite he's landed us with. Lots of loans to the Turkish League beckon.

[kentonclaret]

Wasn’t there a quote posted on here recently that the position of Kompany was the safest of all 92 managers?

Stop it. I'm depressed enough!

Did it come from Alan Pace?

If there was whoever said it was talking rubbish

[Vegas Claret]

Matt Williams our COO

[Andreshotboots]

Well the Project Manager should be answering some serious questions in the boardroom then, as this is now so far off being acceptable it's incredibly worrying..

[kentonclaret]

Came from a Matt Williams - thread contains positive comments from posters “excellent interview” and “good to hear there’s no sign of panic from the club”.

And you chose this shower of shite Vincent when you could have chosen anyone else!

He must be fearing the worst after these pathetic results week after week.

Then we really are screwed, if people are going to keep blindly believing in him.

Open your sodding eyes people!

[ksrclaret]

If the COO has indeed said that VK has the safest job in the 92, he's probably given more away about our financial situation than anything else.

I have now bumped the thread containing the BBC interview where the assurance on VK’s position as manager was made.

If we were to lose next week at home, and in a similar manner to today, then the fans' patience is going to turn.

That's my prediction, so his assurances about the manager are going to be tested.

This is an indictment more than anything.
There's millions of people who play football and would love to play in the Premier League.
Thousands who'd love to play for Burnley specifically.
Then we turn up with this abject, lack of effort, lack of direction stuff. I'll defend Vitinho thick and thin through all his mistakes because at least he has some bottle and f***ing fight, yeah he's not up to it (certainly not as a leftback with a winger who does zero defensive support for him) but at least he looks like he cares. The majority of the team don't.
Millions of people would love to be in their spots. They earn more in a fortnight than most people earn in a year. And that's the best they muster effort wise.
I've said time and again, I was hoping for 17th this season, and can always accept a fighting relegation. This isn't fighting. This is a surrender every week.

[thelifeofbrian]

do you all still have faith after our 3 points today- can we do this?

[Burnley1989]

do you all still have faith after our 3 points today- can we do this?

No, we did ok against 10 men for over 90 minutes. I’ll not be getting carried away after that unfortunately

[Elizabeth]

No chance.
We nearly threw it away against 10 men and that would not have surprised me as the die has already been cast. I'm happy with the 3 points obviously and Kompany having the courage to admit he needed to change goalkeepers. Other than that we still have too much inexperience and mistakes waiting to happen.

Not "no chance" because there are some sides just as inept as we are.

[Rileybobs]

4 points is a good return from the last two. We could and should have had 6, but equally we could have had 1. Ridiculously, as horrible as this season has been, we’re still only a couple of results over the whole season from having been in the mix, which shows what a wasted opportunity the season has been.

As for can we do this. I’m afraid not and made peace with this some time ago so I’m happy to just enjoy a win. Even today, having been practically gifted the game after 9 minutes we still conspired to lose the game and it was a relief to hear the final whistle. Hopefully grinding the result out will give the players belief but it’s hard to see us picking up enough points to be close, even with a big points deduction for Forest.

[Elizabeth]

Too much to make up bill

[tarkys_ears]

4 wins in 29.

This time against 10 men.

...at least we didn't **** it away, I guess!

[Brugge Claret]

Looking at this side a month ago I wouldn’t have given them a cat in hells chance of getting into the Championship play offs next season,but the speed we played out from the back today was much better,and apart from the odd wobble late on when nerves came into play if they play like that next season I reckon we’d have a shout.

[DCWat]

Some nicer play today, but we still failed to really capitalise against another pretty poor side.

For all people bang on about the Premier League going up another level each season, there have been some pretty ordinary sides at the Turf.

Less scattergun recruitment, ensuring that we filled the key areas and we’d have been comfortably safe.

Hey ho, hopefully some valuable lessons learned and fingers crossed, next season will be another one to savour.
