Next manager

[mdd2]

J Mullen and J Adamson didnt do too badly did they? And we have no idea how those assistants would have performed as we didnt appoint them, but if as stated CB has continuing MH problems and cannot work full time then be unwise to appoint.
However I cant get my head around the appointment of an assistant coach in the absence of the top man who would want his own assistant or maybe has agreed to come and wanted said assistant. Bit of a bummer if the top man then changes his mind.

[Rowls]

Who’s going to throw a fiver on Eni Aluko to demonstrate how daft the betting markets are as a judge of what’s happening?

Probably some Tory MP.

[beddie]

Bellamy has no experience of Management, some players may well like him but those players might not be here that long. We need an experienced person at the Helm with fresh ideas if we’re looking to come back.

[HB Claret]

Sort of sums up this board when some posters know that there are players who want Bellamy and other posters know there are players that don’t want him.

We're all in the know, didn't you know?

[Goobs]

We're all in the know, didn't you know?

Yes but they don't know that we know they know we know

[mdd2]

Too many on here who know not; and know not that they know not.
I think the ones who know and know that they know are not regular posters on here
I, for one, am someone who knows not and knows that I know not.
But where the **** are the ones who know and know not that they know? They
could spill the beans on here without fear or favour couldn't they?

[nil_desperandum]

J Mullen and J Adamson didnt do too badly did they? And we have no idea how those assistants would have performed as we didnt appoint them,

Wasn't Jimmy Adamson followed by Joe Brown?

[dermotdermot]

The mystery continues.

Personally find it odd that my favourite Mark Robins is nowhere in the betting.

Really?

[mdd2]

He was nil_d. And assistant Miller followed Brown and then we had assistant Casper who was overlooked for Bond and then I dont think we want to carry on the stream that followed but i will. Assistant Benson, new man Buchan, assistant Cavanagh until cap in had we found our Brian again and his assistant was I think Frank again until he was appointed midseason in 1989.
Was Heath Mullen's assistant?

[mdd2]

I think Brian followed Potts' second spell as Harry took over from Brown if I recall events correctly but I maybe wrong there.

[Rowls]

Sort of sums up this board when some posters know that there are players who want Bellamy and other posters know there are players that don’t want him.

True. But these aren't mutually exclusive. In fact it's perhaps very probable that some players want Bellamy and some players don't want Bellamy. It's down to us as individuals to take info from the 'in the know' crowd with a pinch of salt.

Alan Pace wants Ruud but other members of the board want to give Bellamy a chance

[mdd2]

Alan Pace wants Ruud but other members of the board want to give Bellamy a chance

A knows know?

[Coeus]

Alan Pace wants Ruud but other members of the board want to give Bellamy a chance

All other board members or majority or a few? What does JJ Watt think?

[mdd2]

Not the best leaking of info if true
Means whoever is appointed could have a chairman or Board members who dont want him. Such feelings should stay within the Board Room IMO

[Culmclaret]

If Kompany recommended Bellamy that rules him out for me.

[clarets1978]

Mullens assistant was Clive Middlemass. Heath was brought back to the club

Thanks for thatClarets1978

Nixon saying the new Danish coach was lined up by the club some weeks ago whilst VK was still in charge , as a replacement for Bellamy.

[morninbob]

Yep.

I think that the new assistant was Bellamy's replacement, he would have needed a work permit so he could have been approached before Bayern came knocking.

[South West Claret.]

Really?

Yes really.

[Ric_C]

Nixon saying the new Danish coach was lined up by the club some weeks ago whilst VK was still in charge , as a replacement for Bellamy.

So we are saying this deal was done pre-Kompany leaving, and now we can't get out of it, and the new manager might not even want him?

Great

[123EasyasBFC]

A knows know?

Is it more believable then RVN being brought over in JJs jet and already met some of the players?

[jedi_master]

Nixon saying the new Danish coach was lined up by the club some weeks ago whilst VK was still in charge , as a replacement for Bellamy.

Baffling that he's here if Kompany chose him and considering Bellamy has stuck around?

[gandhisflipflop]

My mind is blown

[123EasyasBFC]

Crazy to think Jensen could have been chosen by kompany to replace Bellamy for now only to end up working alongside Bellamy

[Boss Hogg]

Head Coach wanted but you can’t bring your own Assistant Coach as we’ve appointed one for you. Might put a few applicants off.

I’d assumed he’d been selected by the new manager/ Head Coach and the board already knew who that was, we just couldn’t announce it it finalise it yet.

[Juan Tanamera]

Why didn't Nixon tell us a few weeks ago, or his he now trying to tell us that he really is the man in the know?

[Rileybobs]

Not really much the club could do if they hired someone before Kompany walked out.

[claretonthecoast1882]

I reckon this is why Pardew turned us down

[Boss Hogg]

Bellamy, MJ, and the new assistant appears to be the most likely combination at this point.

[Rileybobs]

Bellamy, MJ, and the new assistant appears to be the most likely combination at this point.

Why’s that? Surely the longer this drags on the less likely it is that Bellamy gets the job.

[DAVETHEVICAR]

1) No one has any idea what is going on
2) The new assistant probably knows who the Manager or Head Coach is
3) The Manager or New Head Coach is happy with that appointment
(4) The new manager could be Frank Lampard who is a pundit and it won’t be announced until Euros is over

5) This post may be total nonsense

[Vegas Claret]

Nixon saying the new Danish coach was lined up by the club some weeks ago whilst VK was still in charge , as a replacement for Bellamy.

2 days after he said him arriving wasn't a thing

[Indecisive]

I reckon this is why Pardew turned us down

Would be beyond surprised if

A/ we offered Pardew the job

And even more so...

B/ he subsequently turned it down.

[bfcwest]

I reckon this is why Pardew turned us down

It was the deal breaker

Only (4) is total nonsense

Exactly! ........BS merchant of the highest order

Let’s hope that AP gets his way.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Where is the private jet now and who is in it?

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Alan Pace wants Ruud but other members of the board want to give Bellamy a chance

Imagine if we appointed someone based on wanting to give them a chance

[Vegas Claret]

Where is the private jet now and who is in it?

Santa has been on the lash for 2 weeks in the Caribbean, JJ has personally gone to see he gets home safely

[nig1954]

Who is the ,as yet, unnamed applicant from foreign climes who has,to date, managed to avoid being identified despite the best efforts of all concerned

[Stockbrokerbelt]

I reckon this is why Pardew turned us down

He was never approached, like others he had his agent approach BFC to throw his hat in the ring.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Not true as someone saw him ordering a sausage roll from Oddie’s after his interview.

[Hipper]

I think Brian followed Potts' second spell as Harry took over from Brown if I recall events correctly but I maybe wrong there.

He did. His first game was at Loftus Road with Billy O'Rourke in goal. We lost 7-0 - televised too - and at some point in the game there was a loud bang. I thought Miller had shot himself!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nDbJ52RJUw

Casper followed Miller after Brian was sacked on the day we were to play at Spurs in the League Cup. We won 4-1!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dbjur2XFvWc

Casper was rightly replaced after an abysmal performance at Palace where we needed a win to stay up and lost 1-0. So we entered the Bond era.

The ups and downs of following a club like Burnley. Don't you just love it!

[summitclaret]

Not true as someone saw him ordering a sausage roll from Oddie’s after his interview.

He must still have a decent annual income then.

The worry is what football knowledge do the “others members” actually have? It would not be the right appointment imo. We need a Manager with experience at this level otherwise, well I dread to think.

Kompany had no experience at this level yet he smashed it
