ARTICLE: No Pepper on the academy menu
I've sat on this one for a while but might as well be published now, the whole world seems to know.

Whenever he ends up, good luck to him and the club should be eternally grateful for the hardwork he put in.

Re: ARTICLE: No Pepper on the academy menu
Maybe his specialism is on building up/troubleshooting academies and the day to day isnt his specialism?
We wont know, but he certainly was very good to deal with when in Prague, even if he didnt watch Soucek as closely as i'd have liked when he took the kids to a Slavia game

Re: ARTICLE: No Pepper on the academy menu
The club have finally confirmed Jon Pepper's departure. Was there a public thanks from the club for someone who came in and lifted the academy from Cat 3 to Cat 1? No, they've just removed him from the staff list on the official site.

It's all very odd. Was there a fall out? There must be a reason why he was quietly removed, with no explanation.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 10:06 amThe club have finally confirmed Jon Pepper's departure.

Fingers crossed the work he has done is built upon to create something special. The club seem to be aiming for a proper youth system that generates players/income. When you look at what Liverpool & Chelsea generate from selling homegrown youngsters it has to be worth investing in.

Re: ARTICLE: No Pepper on the academy menu
Even if his departure was acrimonious, there’s a right way and a wrong way to do things. Particularly if you’re wanting to develop a brand - every little thing can make a difference.
I don’t know much about the academy, other than reading and hearing just how bad it had got under Howe and following his departure.
To now be in the top category, in a relatively short period of time, should be celebrated and those responsible praised for their efforts.
Some of Dyche’s minimum expectations would go a long way with the club - respect being a big one.

Re: ARTICLE: No Pepper on the academy menu
Seeing as it's been known for a long time, is there any word on who will be taking over. It's a very important role for a club the size of Burnley , so you would hope the new man would have the experience to move us on to higher things.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 10:39 amI've no idea what's happened and it is very odd.

Could this be a disagreement about the effectiveness of AIScout?

Re: ARTICLE: No Pepper on the academy menu
I’ve assumed, rightly or wrongly, that Paul Jenkins will have a role. He’s been working as a consultant for ALK.Colburn_Claret wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 12:12 pmSeeing as it's been known for a long time, is there any word on who will be taking over.

Very much so. Involved at Middlesbrough for a good number of years and ended their 2016/17 Premier League season as first team coach after Karanka had gone.Colburn_Claret wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 1:11 pmDoes he have any credentials, if you've already spoken about him I must have missed it.

I put it down to old age.

I suppose it's just possible that they are not happy at the players coming through at present.

Re: ARTICLE: No Pepper on the academy menu
Not sure how the perceived lack of players could be at Pepper's door. He's been here less than five years and lifted us to Cat 1 which is a remarkable achievement. Why he's gone isn't the point though, it's the disrespectful way he's been let go by us with absolutely no comment, just the removal of his name from the staff list.boatshed bill wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 3:33 pmPerhaps they wanted their own man in at the academy.

i think the majority of us would say he's done remarkably well.
Re: ARTICLE: No Pepper on the academy menu
I agree he should get a proper send off....unless there is something we don't know.

Re: ARTICLE: No Pepper on the academy menu
My understanding of it is that Pepper had come in and done what needed doing, he felt so it was time to the next big project. If we tried to keep him but failed I took it was why it ended so quietly. Most fans will not know and a fanfare can be made about the incoming as a pure positive.

Absolutely typical of Garlicks shambolic reign. Now we've got Mr Pace in charge I expect the way we handle things like this to be much more professional.

Re: ARTICLE: No Pepper on the academy menu
I believe this part , think he was brought in to guarantee the club would move through the category standings with ease , but he wouldn't offer much beyond that.elwaclaret wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 11:05 pmMy understanding of it is that Pepper had come in and done what needed doing,
