Good manager at the time for us. Completely lost the plot these days.

JBL only played 15 games since leaving.

Berge, wouldn’t have him back as he couldn’t get out of the club quick enough last summer.

It's 15 games since joing Stuttgart in Jan. He played 12 times for Hoffenheim also last season. 27 games in a BL season is the vast majority of games.

I'm also amazed that they trained there, given that the Gawthorpe training ground had already been built in 1955. Ah well, it makes good viewing

Couldn’t agree more. The style of play in the premier league bores me to tears. I’m confident that Parker will be more akin to Dyche than Kompany though. Play to our strengths. Be resilient. Organised and aggressive. Inter play a style of football that I prefer over the likes of city. All about opi...

Exeterclaret

I like both Kompany and Parker. Differing styles but they both coach a team to play it on the floor.

Not the biggest fan of Dyche, didn't like his style and wanted him gone a lot sooner.

Exeterclaret

Glad the best song one. Would have hated to see Israel win it.

Exeterclaret

We replaced him with a far better manager and he seems to struggle to deal with that

10 years of Playstations funded by good honest taxpayers that's exactly what we don't need!

Have you seen what prisons are like in Norway? I wouldn't bother looking if I were you mate. Gotta watch the blood pressure.

Exeterclaret

I think Dyche comes across really petty and bitter here. As he often increasingly does unfortunately.

Exeterclaret

I suspect if he was holding a different flag or protesting a different cause many on here would be lauding him. Peacefully protesting ethnic cleansing? Fair play, I say.

If Kompany does the unthinkable and wins the Bundesliga / Champions League double will that make him the greatest manager to ever have managed Burnley FC?

The majority on here would still say he's crap. He clearly isn't though,

Exeterclaret

It's better when it's at one end. The Nordwestkurve at Eintracht has some belters, and it's all organised by the fan clubs in that end with no club involvement. Much more organic. The atmosphere is miles better than anything in the UK where people react to a goal and that's it. It's very true. In G...

Does anyone remember his goal against Forest at home in maybe the 08/09 season? Gets a yard on his man with a couple of stepovers and curls it top corner. Think that might be up there with his best.

Exeterclaret

Decent ageing pro. We've got a lot better and younger in the squad and out on loan though.

Exeterclaret

I actually think he's quite similar to Keane. Both good defenders with a tall lanky physique and a turn of pace but neither are particularly good on the ball. Remember Keane hoofing it forward a lot without a great deal of direction, partially may have been direction from our erstwhile incumbent man...

Even if we wanted him he wouldnt come, he alongside Assingnon (Sp?) were who's agents said wouldnt play again after Spurs game

I don't think that's true. Assignon started the next game (Forest, final game of the season) and Fofana was on the bench.

Fair point.

I can’t imagine Parker ever losing the plot like
Kompany did, however none of us know how pressure affects someone until they’re under it and filmed for our displeasure

I can. Happened at Bournemouth.

Exeterclaret

The welcome with Ashley Barnes was very good. All the seniors loved him, as did Alan Pace. Makes you wonder why he let Kompany let him go. Or we'd just been promoted to the Premier League and he wasn't nearly up to the required standard. That's not to say the others we signed were, but still doesn'...

What's that based upon. Worrall and Egan both have the exact same weakness that Ekdal has surely but without the same technical ability?

I think it's probably a bias towards players that have played a lot of English football

Kompany was legend in his own mind, and there were a number of players and staff who absolutely hated him.

Got any evidence for that or is it made up rubbish like most stuff about Kompany?

Somebody above, I can’t be bothered checking, called him a good socialist. There are no good socialists. He was a good man though. I thought he was strong, funny and definitely had some fight in him. He had every right to clock the bloke who egged him.

Why are there no good socialists?

Yes he did because Young is a steady pro who offers something even now at that level

Problem is Dyche is too fond of his steady pros.

When has a relegated Premier League team ever had a massive turnover of players, and a new manager, gone on to romp the championship the following season? Well theres's obviously one recent example we'd all be very familiar with. Difference is, however, they didn't have 2 and bit days to assemble m...

And hopefully a hell of a sight longer before we suffer the absolute dross that was served up last season, please God never.

Might be controversial but I thought the turgid stuff toward the end of Dyche's tenure was as bad if not worse.

Exeterclaret

While there wasn’t a huge clamour for him to go there wasn’t a great wailing and gnashing of teeth when he did. The biggest shock was where he ended up! I also think on reflection it was probably a good juncture for him to move on. Time will tell but I do think he's a good coach with a high ceiling...

Speak for yourself.

Realise I have undermined my argument somewhat by making a baseless assertion myself

Still as RV says polls at the time as far as they can be relied on suggested that was the case.

Exeterclaret

Most people would only be 'guessing' that was the case, the same as people trotting out the line "he's lost the dressing room" I do find some of the blatant revisionism and baseless assertions surrounding last season quite funny. The general fan consensus even towards the end of last season was tha...

More so since he lost his job at Bristol Rovers - he’s just had to settle out of court after posting about Jeremy Vine. Sad to see - I thought he was a credit to us during his time at Burnley.

Can anyone seriously see Sean Dyche in an England blazer?

As much as I love Dyche, I just don't think he'd be much good at coaching the level of player in the England squad.

Exeterclaret

Cork's too old.

Misuse of 'yourself'. Estate agent and recruiter speak at its worst.

Get the feeling that there's a real veneration of the 'old guard' from certain posters but truth is they were getting older and we've replaced them with technically better and younger players with real potential to grow. I'm glad to have seen it to be honest.
