Name the next manager

[Firthy]

No, they parted company by mutual consent.

At least spell his name right

VK Wednesdays

We nearly had VK Claret and Bluesday.

[Steddyman]

Now it’s been completely deleted.

That’s an ITK if I’ve ever seen one.

More likely realises he's been duped by @BradJonesJourno, since that tweet was identical.

Oh I agree, was just playing along with Lancaster.

Nice is the name in the media. Looks like he might not be coming...!

Is it slow sports news day Pete?

[depechedingle]

Does Adeola Friday not know??

[BOYSIE31]

It's pretty easy to sit on the sidelines and snipe at the people doing the work. It's pretty pathetic as well.

Doing what work ??
Oh I forgot he is in paid employment by the club

[ClaretPete001]

Must be

Sorry Depeche, they’re keeping me in the dark too

Wow Boysie you need to let it go not my concern but you are letting your self down with this petty agenda against CT. You don’t believe he is in the know he tells us he isn’t as well so you are in agreement. I believe him like I believe others as I can’t think of a genuine adult reason why you would lie about knowing things, but I take everything said on Twitter or on here with a pinch of salt until something official is said. You are entitled to not believe him that is fine but at least be a bit more mature about how you disagree or just ignore so others who want to read his bits of information can.

I've no idea if this is of any significance but I saw our club photographer driving up the road away from Gawthorpe this evening around 6.30pm. There's obviously plenty of things he could have been at the training ground for but here's hoping it was the media pics for Vincent.

[Jimmymaccer]

Two posts so far since registering - both having a go at me.

Don’t rise to it CT……..you do a fabulous job……

He either lives, or is the landlord of my grandmas old house

[RVclaret]

Looks like we are back on.

Sounds like an announcement is due on VK within the next few days.

Great news.....if it comes off.

[Goobs]

Also looks like the issue was not VK's work permit but getting coaches out of Anderlecht (and their work permits).

[Lancasterclaret]

Back on?

It was never off

[claretonthecoast1882]

Steddyman is going to struggle working this out considering he was discussing terms with Nice in his world

[RVclaret]

I should have expanded, was meaning the board is back on

[jedi_master]

Will be great to finally feel we can crack on with things when it's announced.

If it has been as 'done' as some have said though, I am sure he has been working on transfers in this quiet period to whatever extent he was permitted.

[Steddyman]

I pointed out a reliable Belgian news source had confirmed that Kompany had talks with Nice.

Until he signs on the dotted line, I will remain concerned.

Also, that Burnley Express article says it could be announced as early as NEXT WEEK. So it isn't sorted yet.

Apologies I thought you claimed he was discussing terms.

Interesting how you interpret different articles.

I’d suggest that the article is saying the delays were around work permits for his team and now that’s pretty much resolved. You don’t apply for a work permit on an off chance that person might come and work for you. You apply because they are coming to work for you.

It’s also interesting that Chris Boden has gone from a position of “it’s radio silence from the club” to all of a sudden knowing who’s cleaning the boots! That tells me he’s had a full update probably because the club are aware that people were concerned.

I wouldn't think Chris Boden has got any of that information from anyone at Burnley Football Club.

Maybe not but someone’s has told him something and he’s been happy enough to put it to print.

[brexit]

Worried that the Derby County deal has fallen through we might get Shrek

[Smile]

My thoughts too. If nothing had changed, he wouldn't risk printing something like that, he'd just keep schtum until something was more solid.

[ClaretTony]

He will have received the information from a source that has enabled him to run with it of that there is no doubt.

I have it on good authority that it was steddyman, who in turn, got the info from danieljwaterhouse

Ahhh, the northern powerhouse we have been expecting you

[pushpinpussy]

Vincent you will probably be a good manager for someone in the future but the diehard Burnley fans don’t want you at our club. You just do not have the wisdom for the championship at present or the experience that we require for this major rebuild. Nice is a beautiful city and the majority of us wish you the best of luck there. Take that job, Burnley is not for you and good luck in France.

How many posters have actually said they don't want him?

Looks like you're on the wind-up again

In fairness to PPP his football posts make more sense than his legal ones which is fine on here.... until he claims to be a solicitor

Better alternative is Kompany comes to Burnley and you go to Nice. Everyone's a winner then.

Oh yes, the resident lawyer on here who lives next door to umpteen Burnley players. We should listen to him more often

[2 Bee Holed]

At least spell his name right

That sentence has more meaning and gets funnier, everytime I read it.
Thank you.
It's brilliant.


If you are trying to follow it, it's at the top of this page, from memory.

[Steddyman]

He did

I did. What do you think Managers talk about to prospective new clubs? What the Directors golf handicap is? What the average temperature is in Nice?

Just because they may not be at an official position in the negotiations does not mean they have not discussed terms.

Well you completely made up they discussed terms.

The article said they may have met.

That’s it.

[claretbob]

Boden has simply applied Google translate to an article in the Belgian newspaper HLN. Presumably they have a clue what is going on but who knows?

I don’t think so, seems like his own piece that. His colleague Dan Black also suggested an announcement due in a few days.

[JTClaret]

Is there any other names in the hat?
I'd be very surprised if we get Kompany now.

Mike Jackson to start the season?

[eastcoastclaret]

If the reported backroom team is correct, I'm a little worried. You can have an inexperienced manager to some extent if the team around them is experienced. But that team is far from experienced.

[RVclaret]

So just I understand, with every journalist (including local) suggesting an appointment is close for VK, and other reliable people very confident, you’d be ‘very surprised’ if we get him? You must be very easily surprised.
