Hope he matches Sean Dyche for our sake .
If he does that would be fabulous, but Sean Dyche changed not only the teams standing but the club as a whole

What a bizarre comment.

It’s true that 12 no score draws now had we been more adventurous and won three or four we would have had he job practically done by now

Who was the lad from Telford. Duane Courtney Scratch that wiki says he played 7 times.

Can’t fault Pires and his work effort other than that he doesn’t add anything in o the defensive unit .

Remember it well , terrifying night .
But the underlying thing about all this is when the occasional idea of Celtic or Rangers joining one of our leagues raises its head again , it’s one of many reasons why it should never be entertained

Turftalkers mentor

I don’t understand why people have to be so black and white, there is allowed to be some nuance regarding Dyche. Did an amazing job for us, best manager in my lifetime and arguably the best manager we’ve ever had. However (and he displayed this with us) unless he is able to rid himself of the stubb...

Whilst it was time to go, he got us two promotions to the PL with the minimum of spend both times, got us into Europe for the first time in almost 60 years and kept us in the PL for 7 years. He also was influential in six of our players making their England debut Plus he did it with Woan & Stone , ...

I have hand buzzers in my gloves( pah I hear you say) so should anything remotely exciting happen, I clap my hands and get an electric shock. Seems to work.

The batteries in those will last forever then as you won’t use them that much

Turftalkers mentor

In memoriam pre match should be sufficient. No need to clap on 54 mins. Condolences to the family in question but this needs to stop. I for one hadn’t noticed this practice getting in the way of watching the match If I had I would have exercised choice not to clap Everybody has the same choice . Th...

I was at his first game for us a friendly at Stockport if I remember correctly, he was and still is one of the finest players I have ever seen in a Burnley shirt.

Jay Rod up top, tell the wingers get the ball in the box early as possible, Brownhill, Flemming and the opposite winger in and around the box for the second balls.

Easy peasy. I can take over whenever you want.

Common sense .

Playing Jay Rod as a striker, whose mission is to get goals, would increase our goal tally. Currently, we make him run about and striker duty is limited, to say the least. Act as a poacher - Jimmy Greaves style. We have plenty of running in the team.

You’ve got my vote !!

Pires a positive for me. More attacking threat than humphries

Probably the most amateurish left back we’ve ever had .
Jumps in every time instead of showing the winger the line

When Parker gets the bullet at Christmas along with Dyche at Everton cue Dyche the Messiah returning to the Turf and everything will be rosy again.

Hallelujah
There is hope
Get the main man back

Turftalkers mentor

Got it the back of my mind somewhere that he was interviewed by us years ago .
He got the job and then decided not to take it because he had a young family he didn’t want to move
Good luck to him though at Swindon

Thanks Tony, Brunshaw road would work well for me, I just need to make sure there are no restrictions that would apply.

You will be ok on Brunshaw Road but as mentioned be there early and I mean early to be sure of parking there

I was a union conveynor in a different industry at the time . I spent unlimited hours trying to keep people in work.

After an FA cup defeat in January that year Bob Lord sacked the Manager and gave away half the team . For different reasons the club are now letting players leave on perhaps an even larger scale . I fear as in the first example the result of this will be to tear the heart out of the club let’s hope ...

Lacks imagination
Why on earth would anybody want another black kit anyway , makes you look small on the pitch .
Perhaps that’s why Sean Dyche wouldn’t have hooped socks , a kit is for easy recognition on the pitch to pass to a colleague .

Tresor
Don’t know what all the fuss is , on the odd time he got on the field , it looked like he was missing anyway

Preston wanted to keep Alexander but he only had a year left on his contract and we offered him two.

Obviously as short sighted as we may turn out to be

Turftalkers mentor

The rumour has it that Jack Cork is just about to join Preston. Whilst wishing every success if he does , have the club missed a trick here . He would surely have been worth another season in the Championship, or was it the club just wanting rid of his wages If so it would be ironic if this turned o...

With all due respect to everyone on this post .
It’s like I said on my original post it’s time for the club to take charge of the situation , if RVN is undecided then it’s time for the club to take the choice out of his hands .
I would give it to Craig Bellamy for continuity .

Turftalkers mentor

We shouldn’t be waiting, that’s the point. If he’s been offered the job and he can’t make an instant decision we should move on, his hearts obviously not in it. If we intend to come straight back up we need an experienced Manager and from those I’ve seen linked and although he’s not the one I was k...

As you say pre -season starts next week . The season 7 weeks today and as yet we are rudderless in terms of any direction the new manager may wish to take us .

Wouldn't have thought so ,but if that's the case then it doesn't say much for the board

If media reports are to be" believed " why on earth are we bothering waiting for RVN to make his mind up .In terms of ability and record he is largely an untried and unproven candidate for the job.
