You know that he was the first one to mention both of them weeks ago?

[Philss_99]

Whoever ends up being our manager has one hell of a lot to do in a relatively short time. The click is ticking !

Allo Allo

[louieollie]

Careful! Nixon has a couple of staunch disciples on here ...........I've often wondered if one in particular was the "crystal ball rubbing sooth sayer " himself

[bumba]

Think that was well before Kompany left.

Yes it was your right, must have been video then I remember seeing him make those comments

[quoonbeatz]

You know that he was the first one to mention both of them weeks ago?

Tenner says he didn't.

Absolutely anyone with a bit of an idea about football would immediately have known that with Kompany going, Lampard and Parker were in the frame.

Fair play to him, I say, he makes money from people paying him to tell them rumours.

[KRBFC]

As we suspected it seems Moyes is out !

Thankfully, awful awful football, no way he’d get us out of the Championship with our current squad of footballers.

[NewClaret]

Just seen on his daughter’s insta that Alan was at the Killers last night in Manchester dancing away. Seems pretty chilled about the situation

[South West Claret.]

If its a choice between Mark Robins or taking our time I'd rather we go with taking our time

How about both then

[NewClaret]

Yes it was your right, must have been video then I remember seeing him make those comments

I’ll have a watch back of that

You sure about that? Because I can remember that most people on this board were surprised and said it's "Nixon talking ******** again". I guess we all also knew Bellamy is considered? You also probably think that anyone with "a bit of an idea about football" would have known that we are signing Drinkwater, Twine, Ramsey, Obafemi, Cornet and Collins. Those are just some of the stories he broke that I personally remember.

But I will stop posting about Nixon because I've clearly touched the nerve. I guess it's easier to believe some Swedish site no one has ever heard of or some random UTC member saying "he heard" or "has been told" something.

I heard he was there interviewing Brandon Flowers for our Manager's job.

[ClaretTony]

I’d be happy with that

[Pearcey]

I’d be happy with that

First signing , Norman Brightside?

I’ll get me coat.

You Read My Mind.

[Dawlishclaret]

Everything will be alright.....Somebody told me.

Carlos Corberan has now usurped RVN to become favourite 6/4 (William Hill) and 7/4 (Sky Bet).

Seems odd.
Nothing obvious to explain it.

[NottsClaret]

Someone will have put £3 on him. There's hardly any money in these markets, for all they hold our attention.

[morninbob]

Sasha has linked him.

RVN still favourite on Sky Bet but now evens. It suggests nothing is close.

[Rowls]

Sasha has linked him.

Can't recall who first posted the metaphor about bookies 'shuffling the deck' but it was perfect.

[Murger]

Corberan 1/1 on Bet Victor.

[Wile E Coyote]

an ex goalie who played for spains version of dog and duck, then done next to nowt over here as a coach. why on earth would Burnley even consider this a good move? it must be a dud link

[Hedontplayforyou]

Tavolieri who seems to get involved with Burnley fans a lot , wether he knows anything is anybody’s guess, but he’s talked about corberan and RVN earlier with a supposed name not revealed yet.

Suspect about him myself

[Holtyclaret]

Seems odd.
Nothing obvious to explain it.

There is. The Leicester job being filled.

We’ll be his back up after that job like Lampard seems to have Sunderland as his back up to our job.

[ervi34]

Why is his position as a player important at all? And he's probably the highest rated manager in this league.

[123EasyasBFC]

And he was right. That means he initiated contact and we were interested. So what he said today doesn't rule out RVN.

He actually referred to Lampard Parker Bellamy being the 3

But again I don’t take what Nixon says as gospel likewise what Sacha says either

[Vegas Claret]

I’d be happy with that

based in Vegas, I wonder if I could be the assistant manager ?

I’d take him. Four solid years in the Championship and reached the play offs twice having had precious little leeway in terms of bringing in players.

[Boss Hogg]

This. Would be happy with him.

[Denno97]

This. Would be happy with him.

Failed at Olympiakos and looks to only stay at a club for 2 years tops. No from me

[Wile E Coyote]

depends on whether or not any of the "big names" are genuine candidates or not.

If youre comparing championship management and amateurish playing career and men who have played at highest level for clubs and country, and have been hugely successful at it, I know who I would choose.

[Silkyskills1]

You also probably think that anyone with "a bit of an idea about football" would have known that we are signing Drinkwater, Twine, Ramsey, Obafemi, Cornet and Collins. Those are just some of the stories he broke that I personally remember.

You remember stories breaking about each of them coming to Burnley via Nixon. Blimey, I can barely remember what I've just had for my tea.. Just been told we've not had it yet.

[Nonayforever]

I would imagine Corberan is now pretty desperate to get a job, any job, as his position at his current club must be almost untenable now after touting himself around every vacant management job going.

[Swizzlestick]

I heard he was there interviewing Brandon Flowers for our Manager's job.

There’s been an admin error and we’ve unfortunately ended up offering the job to Mike Flowers.

The Dyche years were an anomaly in modern management terms. 2 years is probably the upper end of the average these days.

[Steddyman]

I’d take him. Four solid years in the Championship and reached the play offs twice having had precious little leeway in terms of bringing in players.

That should be the reason we don't take him. Has the same pulling power as Dyche when it comes to signing talent, so doesn't fit the bill.

[FeedTheArf]

We don’t know if he has the pulling power or not. West Brom were skint. He didn’t have any money to spend regardless.

And let’s be fair, no matter what they say in a club interview, the only pulling power 99% of players care about these days is the contract they’re getting.

[123EasyasBFC]

RVN and OGS both interviewed, can we not get them in the play up front, get promoted without a manager

[Hedontplayforyou]

Has Solskjaer been interviewed ?

[123EasyasBFC]

Has Solskjaer been interviewed ?

I’m sure other day Turfcast tweeted that he had been told both Ruud and ole been interviewed

[jos]

Who is Turfcast? What position of authority does he claim to have to get this info?

I know that’s his twitter/X handle, but who/what is he?

[123EasyasBFC]

It’s a Burnley podcast and their handle is Turfcast

[123EasyasBFC]

The same authority anyone on here who says they have information, doesn’t mean what they say is correct just saying I’m sure they posted that both had been interviewed

[ClaretTony]

That should be the reason we don't take him. Has the same pulling power as Dyche when it comes to signing talent, so doesn't fit the bill.

Is this the Sean Dyche who took us up and kept us up for six years with only spending a fraction of the amount we spent last summer?

Playing at the highest level often doesn’t mean good manager.

[JohnDearyMe]

Playing at the highest level often doesn’t mean good manager.

Exactly. Dyche must have spent most of his career in the lower 2 leagues (I'm presuming he had a few seasons in the Championship).

[Wile E Coyote]

Playing at the highest level often doesn’t mean good manager.

I know that, but I expressed a preference based on those attributes, plus a reluctance to have us coached by a lesser talent in the game .
I could reel off a list of top players who flopped as coaches, but Im certain most fans would opt for a man with a proven track record in the game.
