Mr Dyche sorry but you are out of your depth

[Fireguard]

dsr- I'm not interested in other clubs dud players. Just Burnley's !

[brexit]

Talking of delusion, what makes you think we need 10 points from the next 5 games? That's top 4 form.

The teams we are playing

[dsr]

We need to get at least 10 points from the next 5 matches to stand a chance of survival but the way we are playing and the way our luck is running I think we will be lucky to get 3 points.

I would be willing to bet a very large sum of money that there will be at least one club with 23 points or less at the half way stage of the season, which still manages to avoid relegation. Why shouldn't that club be us?

But there's no point criticising a man for being not perfect, or in some extremists' cases advocating sacking him because he isn't perfect, unless you have the man who is perfect waiting in the wings. I'm not sure Burnley have the perfect man lined up, probably because he doesn't exist.

[joey13]

I cannot think of one other manager I would rather have at Turf Moor than SD (Martin O'Neil perhaps if SD left)

I hope you don't read this rubbish Sean but for me you are doing an amazing job not just with the players but the way you have created longevity at Burnley Football Club with all the great efforts to improve the ground and the training facilities at Gawthorpe my beloved club is assured a strong viable healthy future for the first time in years.

Martin O'Neil you mean the manager who nearly bankrupted Villa, no thanks

[CFS]

My only criticism of dyche came post match last Saturday where he said that's my team that's what my teams about. Were better than that I don't know if he's trying to give his players confidence but that's not what dyche is about we weren't awful but we were no good sorry.

[Row Z]

DSR, do you have a view of what the perfect manager for burnley should be?

My view it should be someone who came into an unfancied side, steadied the ship, earnt automatic promotion the following season, had a good crack at staying up the next year (without jeopardising the club's future), earnt an immediate return to the premier league as champions and has continually progressed the club off the field since he first arrived.......Sounds familiar.

I trust that the club know where we need to improve and will do their best to make this happen whilst keeping an eye on the longer term. Let's not forget the size of clubs one and even two divisions below us.

[evensteadiereddie]

We did enough in the second half particularly, CFS, to convince me that we'll be OK.
I suspect we'll struggle against Bournemouth but really fancy our chances v WHU.
A good performance against Sunderland and even the deliberately negative cruds on this board may have to pipe down.

Dyche has nothing to be ashamed of. maybe the club is set up to be a yo-yo club [and to some extent even that's punching above our weight [yeah, i know most of us hate that phrase, but i only use it because it's true]] and i, personally have no problem with that. it's honestly more than i expect for our club, especially when considering the money available to other club's managers. so, if he's out of his depth in this division, what is his 'proper' place? i would argue it's probably somewhere near the top of the championship. or perhaps he is good enough for the prem but the club's finances prevent him from achieving all he can. i've no doubt that with a budget anywhere close to most of the other prem clubs he would achieve much more than he can as things stand.

[RingoMcCartney]

The board is good at balancing the books. But even that would have been far more difficult considering where we were post Eddie Howe.

Perhaps it the boards that, in the premier league, are out of their depth.

[ewanrob]

Moving forward he may not be an attractive proposition to other PL Clubs because of his..shall we say his sometimes "lets defend 1st and see what comes" attitude. But I wouldn't have an issue at all with him being here for 10 year or more, because he has given us the stability and success we all craved, and you know what...we aint that bad to watch sometimes.

Another prize plonka! Criticism from someone who couldn't run a jam butty shop. Fans behaving like spoiled children..."why can't we have £billions and buy all the best players?" Did you really expect the PL to be a walk in the park?

Burnley is one of the best run Clubs, both on and off the field.

Who said owt about spending "billions and buying all the best players?"

As for me not being able to run a jam butty shop.

I'm not too worried about that.

It looks like its a really tricky thing to do.

There are none !!!!

A complete myth, we'd be up the **** creek had Coyle not gained promotion. We're only "well ran" because we have had the financial income from 3 promotions in the previous 7 years and spent little on transfer fees so we have no debt and the balance is healthy. Without the PL income we would have been f**ked a while ago, would fans then be banging on about how well ran we are? Or can we only say "we are well ran" after we take the PL prize money and run? A complete myth and a statement from a gullible puppet fan, that is the view the board want you to believe, while they spend nowt on transfer fees and fans continue making excuses for them.

[Sidney1st]

Ah but we did get promoted and we have got the money.

Sunderland owe their owner £140 million I read recently and that's with PL tv money being poured into their coffers.
Brighton owe their owner £170 million with no TV money.

Rovers fans chuck this about a lot, claiming we'd be nothing without Coyles first promotion, but we've built on that first one, unlike some clubs who went up, then down and didn't look to the long term future.
Yes there are large slices of luck in where the club has ended up, but to dismiss it all is just bizarre.

[TheFamilyCat]

We are well run. Nobody is saying we were well run 6 years ago.

As for the rest of your drivel..... Laughable. I can't be arsed picking it apart piece by piece so I'll just stick with "laughable".

"Well run", surely ?

Er, where the hell to start ? You sound as if you resent the good that our promotions have brought....oh, hang on

I notice you've had a few days off - we can only imagine why - but if this is the best you can come up with maybe you need an even longer break. Or sup better ale or have a word with your dealer...

[claretdom]

It is quite funny seeing the cowardly gobshite label anyone a puppet.

It is really hurting the little turd.

You been checking up on me? Weird stalker.
Why would I hate that my club has been promoted, how strange. I'm simply pointing out that its not hard to make a profit when you gain 3 promotions in 7 years and spend peanuts on transfer fees. Simple logic really

It's a lot easier to make a profit if your club is well run.
Would you prefer us to be a badly run club incurring massive losses, similar to the club you used to "support"

[Winstonswhite]

I agree with you KBRFC. 3 promotions with hardly any money spent does not mean you are well run. It means the first team is well managed. Extremely well managed.

Yet you continue to ask for Dyches head because we don't play entertaining football. And I get it I really do. You want someone to come in, change tactics, pretty attacking football. I'm sorry I can't agree with you that that's possible with the players we've got. You obviously do.

So then we need half a dozen (?) premier league quality footballers in January and beyond. Given that this board couldn't sign someone for blood nor money do you honestly think that's going to happen?

No the best chance of survival is with Dyche and our full support. As you've just admitted he's managed this club for the last 4 years magnificently, so stop your "grass is greener" talk for the next 6 months and stop your whining like an 8 year old eh?

[KRBFC]

Did I say there was anything wrong with being well run? I'm arguing the myth about how well run we really are. I'm not sure who I used to support but you obviously know more than I do about myself.

[LoveCurryPies]

The OP is looking like a bit of a kn@b now!

9 points clear of relegation zone at the end of 2016....a major achievement.

[CnBtruntru]

Sorry he is punching above his weight now have to say he isn't doing half bad this season, couple of good additions in January and we will be safe easily.

[Paul Waine]

We've got to start building for next season and beyond - all in the Prem.

[Sidney1st]

Has anyone seen Park Villa since they made this OP??

Gone all quiet oddly enough.

[Sidney1st]

As title.Any manager who spends £10 million on Hendrick and then puts league1 Arfield and yes but he's a runner Boyd in the same team really must come out and explain his decisions.Way to negative this and last season. Let's get back to the championship where we have a chance of winning every week.Maybe let's look for a manager who can also take us forward.Sorty Sean but you are out of your depth in the Premier League.Cue the abuse

Whatever happened to Parkvilla?
