Next manager

[helmclaret]

Bet Victor latest

[mkmel]

Carlos Corberan please if he doesn't get the Leicester job.

[Hipper]

RVN imo would be a bloody good appointment.
The modern football club now requires a Big name manager and RVN is known and respected throughout Europe.
In his couple of years at PSV he took them to runners up in the Erediverse and won the Dutch Cup.

He was one year at PSV and resigned before the last match. They were runners-up the previous two seasons and won it the season after he left.

Bet Victor latest

Lampard drifting was 4/6 last night the pack are closing in!

[bfcjg]

Bayern Munich will be gutted that if only they'd had more patience they could have got for free the man who conquered a world team made up of the finest players ever to put a pair of football boots on.

[It Is What It Is]

He is 48 next month and has 1 season's experience as a manager.

Maybe ...but he took PSV to runners up in the League and won the Dutch Cup.
Ok only one season but what fault can you find in that!

[It Is What It Is]

Yep...he resigned cos PSV would not back him in the transfer market I believe.

[ClaretLoup]

The reservations I would have about RVN is that he actually has limited managerial experience and this was gained at one of the big Dutch clubs, and more or less his whole history has been spent at top, successful clubs.

We had this with Kompany, these guys aren't used to losing a lot and in VK's case he didn't know what to do when they did.

Maybe Van Nistelrooy would be more pragmatic.

He managed PSV u21s and Netherlands youth teams, I know that’s not the same as having senior team experience but it’s not exactly hiring a rookie manager.

Assuming cooper is off the table the top 5 really should be

1. Corberan
2. Ruud
3. Lampard
4. Parker
5. Not Bellamy but any other name

[burnley007]

I sat and watched various interviews with Lampard last night, he does come across well, clearly an intelligent guy.
I'm just trying to prepare myself, in case it is him. I want to be able to get behind whoever it is that gets the job.

Corboran is still my preferred choice.

The thing I like about lampard is he is committed to improving himself as a manager in the UK. He hasn't gone off to the states or the desert to cash in, and I think it will pay off for him. Chelsea and Everton were just too soon imo, imagine Dyche getting the Chelsea job after his one season at Watford. Nuts. I think given the right job at the right time he'll prove himself, hopefully with us.

[gandhisflipflop]

Interesting that people want coberan. What has he actually done to be held in such high regard?

I’ve been expecting a “spotted at Manchester airport” post this morning but nothing yet.

I watched him (Lampard) doing a one to one a few months back, can’t remember if it was with Simon Jordan or Stephen Bartlett, possibly Bartlett. I have to admit Lampard wasn’t fazed by the questions put to him, some of those questions were almost like him being interrogated, he didn’t shirk from any of them and answered in a honest and professional manner. I’ve said previously he wouldn’t be my choice, having said that without knowing who the other candidates are perhaps he’s the best of a bad bunch so to speak. If it is him I will still give him 100% support as I’m sure most true Burnley fans will.

good news, that would have been a dreadful appointment

Would that not be a plus, having an out and out winner?

This season we need a manager who takes us on winning streaks off up to 10 wins on the bounce.

Worry about the prem when we get there.

Reached play-offs with dire football

[Bullabill]

RVN imo would be a bloody good appointment.
............ he took them to runners up in the Erediverse ...........

Well then, as diversity is all-important these days, he would be bloody good.

[gandhisflipflop]

Reached play-offs with dire football

Ah the comfort of little old Burnley playing dire football against the odds is the real reason then.

[Winstonswhite]

Corberans record in England is taking Huddersfield to the play off final and saving West Brom from relegation on his first year, then turning them into a play off team the year after.

But his idol is Rafa Benitez and for that reason it’s a massive NO from me

[Claret Toni]

Rutgerus Johannes Martinus van Nistelrooy

Think Alan's going to struggle getting a bigger name

[It Is What It Is]

Defo not Moyes...just spoke with him by the shops in Clifton Street Lytham and asked him " no, not at all" he said I said who do you think it will be then.." not a clue " he said.

Did he tell you not to **** off really ? He busy shopping wth his wife

Fair play to Moysie.

I'd have told you to f*** off.

[It Is What It Is]

Not at all. Really really nice guy. He actually carried on the chat about Lytham festival etc and his dog.. I see him quite a bit in Lytham , so no why would he tell me where to go. Some people have decorum.

[SlidingTackle]

You can get a cream for that.

So no big ego.

Seriously, that's really good to hear.

Lampards at 1/1 with skybet

[dermotdermot]

Those odds have fallen whilst Bellamy’s have risen.

[HahaYeah]

I'm convinced it's going to be Lampard or Van Nistelrooy.

But he hasn't done anything to improve himself. Watch the interviews with him, he's asked questions about what he's done with his time out of work - nothing. Just sat about waiting for another job.

Dyche did things like learning from other sports.

Lampard has just assumed his name will get him another opportunity. Sadly, it looks like we may just be the ones that prove him right.

He’s 10/1 on Bet Victor.

[Walt]

He went to England training as an observer. Just because he hasn't specifically said I went here, there and everywhere doesn't mean he hasnt. I'd also be very surprised if he hasn't been to live games too.

He talks about watching a lot of football.
I wonder in what capacity, whether at home or attending matches around the world

Heck of a lot of assumptions about what Lampard has been up to in his spare time.

He was observing England training sessions a few months back for example https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explai ... 744b185924

I'm going off when he's directly asked about it in his interviews (links to which have been posted in this thread). And that article you've linked clearly states he was invited there, so not even something he sought out himself. Just watched one training session.

Obviously he was invited as he would be to any other training session at a club. There's hardly a queue of out of work managers outside training grounds asking to come in and watch.

How do you know he didn't ask Southgate and was then invited.

[Walt]

Any manager hoping to get a job would be nuts not to have evidence of trying to improve themselves.

So Frank what have you been up to since you left your last job? Bugger all Alan, just been a hermit hoping to get a gig at some point.

[Swizzlestick]

The Steven Bartlett 'Diary of a CEO' interview was conducted not long after his last managerial stint at Chelsea, so I wouldn't be surprised if he just wanted to take some time away for a while. I'd be pretty surprised if an obviously driven individual like Lampard hadn't been looking to improve himself.

Aye but the buffoons certainly isn't.

[Elizabeth]

Gosh, I wish these strong links with Lampard would vanish

[Cirrus_Minor]

Calling people from Burnley buffoons is a bit insulting. I think we have the right to have a view on a prospective manager without an arrogant journalist trying to use it to make himself look clever.
