Thursday press conference

[Safron]

Be a very interesting one today

[Andreshotboots]

Lest's just hope that the manager isn't at his arogant best and he realises the press are only doing their jobs by asking diffucult questions..

He'll be well prepared for it, no doubt.

[jojomk1]

Been getting some tips off Boris I believe

[kentonclaret]

PMQ's with Boris yesterday and today a Press Conference with Sean Dyche.

Life is so full of drama isn't it?

[wilks_bfc]

Boden is saying "Press conference is 8-30 tomorrow"

[Newcastleclaret93]

Moved to tomorrow morning? I am assuming that is because Dyche is out of isolation tomorrow or is there something else

[kentonclaret]

Too busy today welcoming the new signings.

[Dark Cloud]

Dyche going to Glasgow to see his mum??

[Andreshotboots]

More likely to announce the game is off..

[jojomk1]

Will Jermain be sat next to him ?

Or is he also in his comfort zone ?

[kentonclaret]

More likely to announce the game is off..

Did cross my mind with Leicester also short of players.

[tiger76]

More likely to announce the game is off..

For once that might actually be useful to us.

[Andreshotboots]

For once that might actually be useful to us.

If that's the case then there's no way the Premier League will allow it to happen

[Bosscat]

More likely to announce the game is off..

Surely they will wait until 1pm Saturday to do that ... to cause the most trouble for home and travelling supporters

I don't think it's being arrogant. It's more that he's built up a relationship with the media there, they know each other really well and it really is banter. The problem is filming it and allowing flies on the wall watching and not understanding those relationships.

Not sure he as such a good relationship with Alex James. He seems to be the guy who asks the difficult questions

And that's where the problem lies... Talk about Wood being in his comfort zone, these reporters have this relationship and to keep it, they never report anything the club, or Dyche don't want them to, but don't seem to get anything back in return, they are never the ones to break a story, it's always a reporter from out of town who reports on transfers, so what are they getting from this relationship with the manager?

Comfort zone? Dyche knows every time he enters the press room one wrong word and he’s toast. Burnley conduct their transfer business in a professional manor and have no control over clubs and individuals that do not. Why would we want to alert other teams as to our targets?

You need more empathy with what Dyche and Burnley are actually looking to do with both transfer dealings and in mandatory press conferences that no manager wants to do.

The exception being JM when he wanted to slate us.

Falling out with journalists is never a good idea. Bob Lord was a master of it… it did Burnley untold harm.

Nobody is falling out with journalists... Exactly the opposite, burnley football club has the locals wrapped round their little fingers, I think you've totally misunderstood what I said.

They don’t report the goings on within the club because SD fends them off with drivel. It is his duty as manager to maintain that distance. There is nothing more dangerous than making friends of journalists… Dyche plays the game, no more. He is not their friend, he makes them feel they are in for a bit of fun while they all sit there knowing they will get nothing. Burnley are old fashioned in that they keep their business quiet (largely from lack of financial muscle to compete) we always have done.

Just ask Tony about how Stan reacted when as a friend he was told some inside information… the story broke from another poster but Tony was named and shamed and the old message board condemned. Stan snubbed Tony for quite a while afterwards.

[Backofthenet]

When was the last time they reported something the club didn't want them to?
When was the last time they broke any transfer story prior to any other jurno did?
They are either very poor reporters, or doing what they are asked to by the club... Certainly the Burnley express and the telegraph

Saw some cracking players and games whilst he was doing it.

[Vegas Claret]

seems to me that Dyche gets on really well with quite a few of the press tbh. They get his humour after all these years

It must surely be near to the time the group of fans who are constantly angry at the club and the manager show them how they feel. There must be between 10-20 on here alone who could form an action group and let the club know how you feel. Doesn't have to be during the game can be before or after.

People wanted Teasdale out, they protested. Laws received it as well. Many a time there has been a protest after the match on Brunshaw Rd. It seems a waste that some complain on here, others hide but like comments they won't voice themselves and maybe the club has no idea how some fans are thinking.

Nonsense. You really have no understanding.

[Backofthenet]

Nonsense. You really have no understanding.

I do, more than you can guess, but it's not worth the argument... The facts are there for all to see and check on, should they so wish.

[kentonclaret]

According to The Guardian online Sean Dyche is reported to be "furious" and the Burnley hierarchy "spitting feathers" at the sale/loss of their key front man to a relegation rival. Be interesting to see if that comes across in tomorrows press conference.

I refuse to believe he didn't know there was a clause in the contract...if they were going to be furious, they shouldn't have agreed to put the clause in place (or increased it)

[Newcastleclaret93]

I refuse to believe he didn't know there was a clause in the contract...if they were going to be furious, they shouldn't have agreed to put the clause in place (or increased it)

I imagine the club doesn’t have much say? They either agree to it or the player doesn’t sign the contract I imagine

[Belial]

You may be correct, but then that wouldn't explain why he would be furious if he knew it could always happen

[warksclaret]

If he knew about the Tarks clause he would have known this one. When the Tarks one raised its head any sensible manager would have asked the question about other key players

[Backofthenet]

I refuse to believe he didn't know there was a clause in the contract...if they were going to be furious, they shouldn't have agreed to put the clause in place (or increased it)

Even Wood said he didn't think anyone would trigger the clause, and to be fair nobody other than Newcastle, with their new found wealth would ever have paid it. It is worth it to Newcastle, even if he never plays, just to weaken us, no other club could ever have done that.
I think Dyche is furious at Newcastle more than Wood, or the club, from the little I've read.

[texasbrit]

Dyche covering his ass for tomorrows press conference when he will be interrogated about the sale of CW,
what better way to cover the controversial sale to a relegation rival by saying he wasn't aware, its not like we have too many strikers fighting for a place,
what manager doesn't know the details of his players contracts?
and if he actually doesn't then thats a level of incompetence that cannot be tolerated

[warksclaret]

He would have been on the end of a phone if needed

[warksclaret]

If I were him I would keep quiet. Him not knowing (if true), does not say much for the way the club is run

[Newcastleclaret93]

You may be correct, but then that wouldn't explain why he would be furious if he knew it could always happen

Just spitballing but I assume they are furious that Wood has gone, given the faith And loyalty Dyche has shown him over the years.

[Tall Paul]

You may be correct, but then that wouldn't explain why he would be furious if he knew it could always happen

I know that my car could be broken into outside my house. I'd still be furious if it was.

[HahaYeah]

I made a cat flap in our front door and guess what?

A bloody cat came in!

Furious I was.

[Vintage Claret]

Just spitballing but I assume they are furious that Wood has gone, given the faith And loyalty Dyche has shown him over the years.

This and the fact that SD had only just finished laminating another batch of team sheets with Wood's name on it

[Belial]

I know that my car could be broken into outside my house. I'd still be furious if it was.

I knew I could slip on the ice outside ...so I put some grit down to stop it happening

The day I did slip because I didn't put grit down, I accepted it, because I know I didn't put any grit down

The day I slipped on the ice outside someone else's, I accepted it because I knew it could happen and it was out of my control

Sean's in one of the latter two camps

[elwaclaret]

Saw some cracking players and games whilst he was doing it.

Absolutely we did, but there was whole generations of journalists that did little other than take the p!ss out of us for it. They even wore badges “Banned from Burnley”. You think SD could get away with a tenth of what BL came out with? Any praise Burnley got at the time was begrudging and why very few mourned our dive-bombing down the league tables.

[Burnley1989]

Not Dyche fault
Not the clubs fault

It’s just the way it goes in football, why’s everyone looking for someone to blame?

No one thought Newcastle would pay £25 million for Wood

No one

We've just got to use it to get players in

[ClaretAL]

If there is any truth that the contract clause tip off came from Tripps, I wonder what the relationship is like between Tripps and Dyche right now.
