Name the next manager

[ClaretTony]

He probably wouldn’t be asked as often if he didn’t make inferences along the way.

CT made a suggestion that the work permit issue wasn’t the delay and he’s been asked politely by more than one poster to expand and has simply ignored the questions.

Not ignored anything - I've said that I don't believe the work permit is the issue, I said last week that there was an issue other than that which made the deal less likely than the week before. I've said that I think last week's issue has probably been overcome and it doesn't take much working out what that was. I'm very much more confident that we are getting Kompany than I was last week.

By staying quiet you don’t show your hand either way and whatever the outcome you are proved right.

[brexit]

I know a hell of a lot more than you and it's not because I don't know. But don't worry, it got you a like from Jörmungandr, another who can't wait to have a go at me.

Tautology? where is Psotto when I need him

I’d guess at Gladbach’s interest in VK as they since got Farke? Good to hear you are more confident this week. Interesting that Nixon is adamant it’s work permit approval but you don’t seem to think so. Let’s just hope it’s sorted this week.

[Culmclaret]

I wonder what is the shortest period over which the ‘best run’ club has become the worst run club……….

Two posts so far since registering - both having a go at me.

As my mother would say, draw a picture around it, blow it away, it isn't worth it.

It says far more about them, than you, and the vast majority on this board know it.

[dsr]

Because he doesn't know

It's pretty easy to sit on the sidelines and snipe at the people doing the work. It's pretty pathetic as well.

The implication being that CT is deliberately playing games? I take the view Tony may well have had news on the QT from a good (but easily identifiable within the club) source - which he is unwilling to out to his employers. The vacuum of news emanates from a different board to his one, for reasons I hope will become apparent very soon; or the entire club will be sleepwalking into the start of the season.

Touchy - I have my own and nothing sorted yet

I can’t say much about it but that may not be the case.

[ClaretTony]

I know what I can, what I can't, what I should and what I shouldn't say. I am far from in the know but know considerably more than some about the new manager situation and other stuff.

[quoonbeatz]

Have it on good authority the Tony is behind the Brad Jones twitter account.

[Jörmungandr]

Please don’t flatter yourself. Perhaps you need to take a step back if you’re reacting in this way. Really can’t be good for your health. Take care.

[ClaretTony]

There was something from him either in the last window or the one before when someone posted on here that something was happening because he'd said so. When I thought that was worthy of question, I got hammered from some on here for daring to dismiss information from a journalist. He must be good though, he's got some fooled.

You're right, not good for my health. Goodbye.

He’s now come out as a Rovers fan trolling Burnley fans. Done a superb job with quite a few too.

[claptrappers_union]

I've not read the whole thread but Its been hinted to me a few times over the past weeks that deal has been on and off again, not all of them work permit related either. I posted it on here when I was told it was dead, though I didn't know the details.

I think we are too far down the road now for it not to fall through, but club can't officially announce him until he's allowed to work even if they state 'subject to work a permit'. I'm not sure what the status is at the moment, but I think it's just the waiting game now. It's certainly dragged on longer than anyone expected.

He's tweeted about Craig Bellamy today based on a daft tweet of mine yesterday. Chris Boden actually checked to confirm it was a load of rubbish. Amazed how he's strung people along.

[Somethingfishy]

It's certainly no coincidence that this Nice story has been banded about today..just as the board is fixed. What better way to kickstart all the usual characters of every persuasion into action.

Very clever by Tony. You must have worked in marketing/advertising....

[ClaretTony]

That's very definitely not a skill of mine

After getting loads of abuse today. He’s come out and admitted he’s a Blackburn fan (group of teenagers).

Your post on here was ‘told deal is off’ then a few posts / hours later ‘the deal is on’.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Kompany Wednesdays ?

[claptrappers_union]

I stupidly posted it as soon as I heard that, but there was no details following which there normally is. I was told later there was something stalling the agreement but they moved past it... thats when I said it was back on... which I presumed was because or work permits. I've stayed off the thread now, because the longer nothing is said, the more rumours you hear and I'll just end up looking daft. I think its just been a bit bumpy with other clubs rumoured to be interested while paperwork is being completed - which is beyond BFC and VK's control.

[Tricky Trevor]

Is he on gardening leave from Anderlecht?
If so he’ll sign for us the next day.
Could be working behind the scenes already.

[Taffy on the wing]

I'M SO GLAD THIS BOARD IS UP AND RUNNING AGAIN........THERE'S NOWT ABOUT BURNLEY IN THE PRESS..EVER!

[DukeOfBar]

just hope when the official new manager announcement does come, it won't detract from the old kit deal communications.....

Done a fine job over a period of time.

No, they parted company by mutual consent.

I'm sorry but not sure how anyone could actually buy his "stories". A journalist with 0 articles who happens to only follow Burnley (yet no other journalist knows him) and who never actually broke a story.

[ClaretInLeeds]

Yet many posters on here and on twitter hang on his every word - owing to the fact that they want to be known as “in the know” or first when a story breaks. It’s quite sad really.

[Rileybobs]

The concerning thing is the longer this drags on the more the uncertainty lingers around whether or not the new manager will like hooped socks.

I can’t say much more but there will be news on this soon.

Today?

Today?

He's ITK

He has to be enigmatic and mysterious so that he doesn't give anything away

[Bordeauxclaret]

Today?

No hooped socks today no.

Damn I’ve said too much

[jtv]

I can’t say much more but there will be news on this soon.

How close is Bordeaux to Nice?

[RVclaret]

He’s probably got his wires crossed and seen one of these false rumours today but David Fishwick just tweeted

‘Excellent news!
Vincent Kompany will be officially announced as the new Burnley manager tomorrow, signing a £2.5M-a-year, 3 year deal.’

No sure but he’s deleted that tweet and it’s changed to

Thats what someone in the know who knows he's given away too much would do

Now it’s been completely deleted.

That’s an ITK if I’ve ever seen one.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Vinny Wednesday

[Lancasterclaret]

Well, if anyone wants to pretend to be ITK, they could say its being happening tomorrow, and then people would go

"Ah, ********* ITK

[BurnleyHeff]

You have got to love the attention seeking rumor spreaders who have been a member of this site for only 2 minutes. There are many posters on here that want to shoot you down even if you have good intentions, equally those individuals are probably frustrated with the attention seekers. A lot of this has been caused by the silence from the club that we support. The sooner something is announced regardless of who the new manager will be that we can move on and look forward to the new season. Preparing ourselves for daft rumours from some
