Next manager

[kentonclaret]

God I wish I could be so confident.

It’s not a sign of confidence but merely setting someone up to fail. Setting the bar so high that it is almost impossible to succeed at the task being given. If he succeeds no credit is due it was expected, and if he fails you can guess the reaction.

[TPClaret]

I don’t give a toss about his previous record or style of play. I would expect him or any other capable manager to comfortably achieve promotion back to the Prem at the first attempt
We clearly have a far superior squad of players and anything less than promotion will be a failure by Parker and Pace
The bar has been set

If only football was so easy.!

I dont know how anyone who watched us last season comes to that conclusion

It's better than the board being drowned with pessimism. Nobody wants to read a poster saying how bad we're about to be or how much they are worried or concerned.

[TPClaret]

I don’t think I’ve ever gone into a season in 40 years watching Burnley, expecting us to definitely win promotion. Setting yourself up for disappointment

[beeholeclaret]

God I wish I could be so confident.

It certainly won’t pay to be so over confident and a degree of caution is sensible IMO.

Promotion with ease will only come if the new manager establishes a tight unit for the first team squad. He probably needs to sell or off load around 15 players and fill in the left back/ centre mid / striker positions with reliable new signings.

We will need the luck that brings with it freedom from injuries and rub of the green with refereeing decisions going more often in our favour. Players who clearly had a loss of form in 23/24 must up their game to the required levels.

I remember in 1970-71 season we had a team and squad brimming with talent and one of the top British coaches. We were expected to return immediately to division one but failed to do so due to the above reasons. I know it’s a long time ago but the principles above still apply. UTC

[Carlos the Great]

Pace has had to choose the best option for Burnley and we have to understand although Parker wasn’t our first or even second choice he is the most likely give us a chance of promotion

Champions the following season, though. Would that not be good enough?

[Blyclaret]

So many on here are so confident of promotion. Are ye expecting other teams to roll over. In Kompany promotion team … there were games we won 1 0 and games we scored very late on. I actually think we were lucky that year. Everything went out way.

[claretskeith]

I actually think we were lucky that year.

Wow.

[jos]

I expect us to get relegated, anything better than that is a bonus.

[Woodleyclaret]

We had Nathan Tella and we need similar this time regardless of who gets the job

[Stayingup]

Our American owners have dine us proud by appointing another English manager far superior to the last one we had.

Ha ha ha this can’t be serious. That has to be a fishing trip

Lucky

We absolutely battered every side we played at home after the first ten games. Even games we scored late, we’d ran over them and forced them into submission.

Take off every 85 minute+ goal we scored and we’d still probably have ended up winning the title.

Yet even in those games we were getting 70 odd % possession. We weren't clinical enough, yet still walked the league. I wouldn't call it lucky.

Also games like against Blackpool where we were 3-1 up and ended up drawing 3-3. We dropped so many points in those first dozen or so games that we could and should have been nearer 110 points.

Lucky over 46 games?

[Tresor'sTracksuit]

Anyone who thinks we were lucky to walk the league immediately gets ignored for knowing anything about football.

THIS is so true…….. not sure why we did not sign him but he was missed last year.

[IanMcL]

All sorted then - according to the Romano chap.

[Longsidejono]

I struggle to think that pace and co interviewed Parker and was like don’t like what this guy is saying but will employ him anyway and they are trying to build a brand of football club

Yes they have been stung by Vinny in terms of if we are too good people will come knocking but he must have interviewed well but must of impressed especially if dyche was ‘sacked’

so just trust the process…although this new ‘coach’ and right and left back certainly wasn’t signed by Parker! Haha

[Tufty]

I have to say...SP would make a good Mormon...appearance wise. Clean cut, smartly dressed. Of course this would have no bearing on the boards decision.

Nothing is certain until the ink is dry on the contract...

[Shaggy]

According to Talksport Rosenior and Lampard knocked us back.

Wrong, nothing certain until Claret Tony says so.

that was Alex Crook.........................the absolute wage stealing heap of crap talker that he is

[Carlos the Great]

We didn’t sign him because VK gave him no recognition for what he did for us .. instead thinking if was all his doing why we got 101 points and he could do just as well with a completely new team .. when it backfired he escaped through the fire exit

[randomclaret2]

I dont generally subscribe to some of the TalkSport bashing that sometimes breaks out on here, but in this case I couldnt agree more

Lampard knocked us back ? An ego much bigger than his managerial talent .. his days as a manager are over ..ten secret is out .. he’s crap

Lampard and Rosenior apparently, but see Vegas clarets comment above.

They weren’t overly enthusiastic about Parker either and played some clips of him slagging his team off.

[HahaYeah]

Hard to believe Lampard and Rosenior knocked us back. We will know better when they get they get appointed to manage whoever in future.
