Next manager

[gandhisflipflop]

I didn't say I did . Go and read my post again. Even you must get the gist of it. However, I'll spell it outfor the hard of thought.

I said appointing CB would likely to be a reflection on the state of our finances - the cheap option.

Yep, I’ve read it again and it is still waffle, but thanks for you condescending reply.

[Clovius Boofus]

I think you should have a look at your own tone first.

[Rick_Muller]

Anyone using continuity as an argument needs to remember we’d be continuing after a really crap season. I personally don’t want that. I want a fresh start with new ideas to inspire the players to perform.

That’s not to say I’m against appointing Bellamy, but using continuity as an argument is flawed IMO.

I’ll get behind whoever is appointed though and support them.

[Clovius Boofus]

I'm against appointing Bellamy because it would mean he's the club's last option. If he wasn't, he would have been appointed weeks ago.

[elwaclaret]

Why is everyone assuming that IF there has been a flight to meet Bellamy it is to offer him the job? If that happened I would assume it was a courtesy to let him know who his boss was going to be ahead of it being made public and to encourage him to stay with us in a new role next season, nothing more than that.

[Fizzy]

Me too, but I’d still be very disappointed in the appointment of Bellamy

[Bfc]

Fingers crossed Bellamy gets the Wales job. Mr Pace would then seek a compensation package, instead of paying Bellamy out, if he has his contract terminated.

[ClaretTony]

Gut feeling is that Bellamy would be a disaster. No managerial experience and has struggled with his mental health, rumours on here he was only working 3 days a week at times last year? Don't think its the time for such a massive gamble.

Can I dispel that rumour of him working three days a week last year. It's simply not true.

[dougcollins]

I've known the club for decades.
Can I be considered please?

Up there with saying Moyes would be good 'because he lives in Lancashire'.

Was he going to come on the bus?

[Penwortham_Claret]

Was he doing the same hours as Kompany?

[ClaretTony]

I have no idea but I do know the rumour of Bellamy cutting down his days is just not true.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Do we know if an announcement is close?

[Holtyclaret]

The candidates were narrowed down from a huge list (100 or so names), the favoured ones have been interviewed.

The favourites from which will/have be/been interviewed again.

If Bellamy got to the end of the process he’ll now be one of three of four the board can choose from.

So not really last option, just an option.

[Holtyclaret]

He’s on the record as saying he wouldn’t want to work the same hours as vk, but by all accounts vk barely slept and was a workaholic.

Bellamy wouldn’t be my first choice but seems a cracking bloke.

There’s a you tube he did whilst waiting to be appointed at Burnley with tube and anges golf life two years ago, well worth a watch.

If Bellamy turns out to be the standout candidate from a list of 100 (or more) potential applicants for the managers role then surely he would be a certainty for the Wales job where the list of realistic appointments can be counted on one hand.

I hope so for him, I think the lesser rigours and time constraints of an international job would suit him, particularly with a baby on the way and he could re-locate back to wales.

All those hours of work and it still took VK 28 games to realise his best keeper was sat on the bench

[Elizabeth]

Let’s get something straight. It ain’t going to be Bellamy or we are in the ****

[bfcjg]

What's the saying " it's not the hours you work, it's the work you put into the hours."
How much of the work was BFC related and how much was dedicated to his MUD analytical business ?

It was a load of PR hot air bullshit anyway.

No one can truly 'work' 70 hours a week. You might be at the office that long, but you're likely being extremely inefficient with your time and repeating tasks.

Don’t think MUD takes a great deal of his time, somebody told me he put the finances up in an entrepreneurial type way to get it started to rival and better what was offered to the top clubs at the time.

[123EasyasBFC]

Not only did kompany put all those hours in but he also had a driver so he could still work whilst in the car and he still only managed 5 wins all season and after 38 games still didn’t know his best team

[Tufty]

You forgot to mention the appointment of an assistant manager .... who happens to be happy being assistant to Mr X.....not to mention Mr X. being happy with an assistant he's never met or even heard of ! *

*presumption.

[South West Claret.]

What’s Brian Flynn doing these days

[Rileybobs]

On the day the clocks went back last autumn Vincent Kompany worked a 25 hour day.

[Pearcey]

I was on a 12 hour night shift when the clocks went back. It was utterly devastating I tell ya!

[Dark Cloud]

What’s Brian Flynn doing these days

Mostly shopping in Tesco's on Centenary Way (occasionally Sainsbury's at Prestige Park) It's obvious from that that I've got nowt else to do these days either!!!

[South West Claret.]

Funny you should mention Flynny and Tesco as that’s the last time I saw him, wondering if he’s got shares in Tesco’s

[Dark Cloud]

Maybe he's working as a part time security guard there these days .

[Bin Ont Turf]

Come all without
Come all within
You've not seen nothing like a shopping Flynn

Not bad, BOT.

Can't get the bloody song out of my head now though.

You’re looking in the wrong place for info on Burnley’s next manager, the thread title has unwittingly turned out to be cruel honeypot, despite good intentions nobody on here has the slightest inkling of what’s going on.

But if you want to waste an hour or two…

[BleedingClaret]

Not that I think that would happen but what makes you believe that it would be Bellamy under Jackson and not the other way around?

Hi
I don’t think that would be the way round but think it should be if they were to take charge
I’m aware I’m in the minority with that view

[BleedingClaret]

Given Pace and Co want to grow our international appeal I would be staggered if we end up with Bellamy and Jackson

Hope you’re right

[BleedingClaret]

[quote=BleedingClaret post_id=2358490 time=1719060145 user_id=319

I see it as Jackson and then Bellamy
Not Bellamy above Jackson

Craig Bellamy, former Premier League goalscorer and Welsh International listening to Mike Jackson.
No, sorry, just can't see that happening.
[/quote]

Neither can I but I would personally put Jackson ahead of Bellamy
Kompany was one of the best ever Premier League defenders and we couldn’t defend for toffee last year

So why prefer Jackson, wasn't he a defender?

[ClaretTony]

Scouting for Colchester

[Dark Cloud]

Scouting for Colchester

In Tesco's!!!!?

[eastcoastclaret]

It wouldn't surprise me if Jensen had been earmarked as the new assistant to Kompany before he left.

Seems my suggestion from a few days back was correct.

[Vegas Claret]

Hope you’re right

me too !

[Tricky Trevor]

We are waiting on Sarfgate getting binned.

[It Is What It Is]

Well...that's the longest day finished...the nights are drawing in now, winter is coming, and a very dark cloud still lingers over the turf....g

[Since62]

This all seems to have been going on for too long. We need someone appointed next week to start preparing for next season.

[dermotdermot]

Dark Cloud still speak with forked tongue.

[groove]

I can see the logic in appointing Bellamy on a short contract and see how he does. He's a winner, he's experienced at the top level and he knows the squad, and more importantly who isn't good enough for the squad. We've got too many players who aren't up to it. We can't afford the luxury of stockpiling potential. We need to move some on.

[KernowHouseClaret]

We have people prepping for next season, there are physios and coaches in place, the first week back will mainly be fitness, I'm pretty sure everything will be in place at some point next week

[warksclaret]

We usually get some ground breaking news from Nixon, this time of the week

Oh yeah let’s just appoint a manager to ‘see how he does’
