Name the next manager

[RVclaret]

Problem is he doesn't say which way...most seem to be outgoings to me

Keeps them for the Sunday paper / his patreon page - fair enough

VK on the Rocks neck.

[JTClaret]

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.

More a case of I'm used to hearing a story for the whole of a transfer window, only for it to fall through and we end up with nothing.
Perhaps I'm preparing myself not to be disappointed after a disappointing season. However, if it was to fall through, there aren't any other names.
I really hope VK the 'suggestions' are correct.

They are

Fans hate being kept in the dark but BFC is a business. You could argue that a football club is different but it isn't really, they offer a product and the fans are it's customers. Some of the comments on here and on twitter looking into every aspect of the club leads me to think people have way to much time on their hands. You wouldn't do it with any other business you are a customer of.

Just because we are not being drip fed information every day, doesn't mean that the club are doing nothing. There are many things happening right now to get ready for the new season. Enjoy your summer, take a break from the news and relax. Far too many fans are working themselves up and getting angry for no reason. It really isn't good for your health.

Yes, but a football club IS different.

I am a regular customer of Sainsburys, but I don't have an emotional link with them. I do with Burnley.

I would have thought you would be more of a Booths man!

Oh Sainsburys! Is wonderful!

I don't disagree, but some would say they have an emotional attachment to Sainsburys and wouldn't shop anywhere else.

Some fans take it too far though and need to relax and let the club get on with running the business. I can guarantee that at the start of the season we will have a new management team and some new players to watch. Those checking for constant updates are not going to make that happen quicker.

[Goobs]

Oh Sainsburys! Is wonderful!

Oh Morrisons is wonderful
Oh Morrisons is wonderful
Is full of drunks, druggies and scallies

Booths is a much better shop, but my nearest one is in Keswick, whereas there is a Sainsburys in Cockermouth, which is a bit nearer.

You should have seen the excitement when the local Booths brought out this years new uniform, people forming long queues ahead of its 9am release. 1 guy even went a bit further and had his name and a number printed on the back of his work shirt, said he wanted to look like his idol who worked in the wine aisle

There is a Booths outside my kids school

They don't ask for Mars Bars anymore, they want a fairtrade 100% cocoa rich block, with a hint of summer rain

It may be different to you, but to clubs we are just customers, you've no right to know how they are being run anymore than any other multi million pound business...

I think that even organisations like Sainsbury's (I know not these Booth's!) like to keep the customers happy.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Chatted to my dad about the modern day demand for daily updates. Pre internet the season finished and you might have been lucky to get a few transfer rumours in the local papers or if you were really desperate for news rack up your parents phone bill on clubcall until the players returned for pre season.

Unless fans in pubs used to sit there during the summer months getting angry as the evening went on that Teasdale had yet to pen even an article in the Burnley Express!

As someone has posted above in August there will be a new manager and a team to watch just like there has every season for the past century.

You had spent over £1 on clubcall and only found out the manager was still Jimmy Mullen and Turf Moor was the home of Burnley football club

Good luck taking that approach on here, it rarely works because people are unable to put aside their emotions to see the reality of what you're saying.
I've said this sort of stuff in the past and it mainly fell on deaf ears.

[Jamesy]

Sorry, tried to post photo but it didn’t work.

They were expert at dragging that introduction out! Never even got to the main news about Bambo being on trial!

Iam not saying its right, or wrong, it's just how football clubs are nowadays.

[lakedistrictclaret]

If club owners don't understand that many supporters have a strong emotional attachment to their club, then they shouldn't be club owners.

[RicardoMontalban]

This is quite the buildup.

[tiger76]

If club owners don't understand that many supporters have a strong emotional attachment to their club, then they shouldn't be club owners.

Yes if anything demonstrates your point, it was the huge backlash towards the ESL, by fans of those clubs involved, and even those that weren't.

And for better or worse football or sports in general do elicit an emotive response that other walks of life simply don't.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

If club owners don't understand that many supporters have a strong emotional attachment to their club, then they shouldn't be club owners.

They understand, doesn't mean they should divulge everything to the fans, because that would mean opposing clubs finding things out

Back in the day though, you could get all the inside info you wanted from Glen Little in Ladbrokes, William Hill, Betfred, etc

[Gordaleman]

Burnley Express suggesting the VKs appointment will be soon is easy. Purely because it has to be soon with such a short close season. The fact is, it has to be soon and I doubt that the Burnley Express knows any more than the people on this BB. No doubt if it is next week though, they will claim advance knowledge.

FFS, turn it in.

VK is going to be the new manager.

People on here don’t half get uptight about non consequential shite!

what a weird outlook

That's the majority of owners now then

[RVclaret]

Burnley fans: We need an update!!!

Burnley Express: Looks like an appointment is within the next few days, delay due to work permits, here are the details of all the staff joining

Burnley fans: Not like that, now you’re just trying to say ‘I told you so’, it’s obvious he’s joining

[brexit]

page 78 reckon it will 100 before the announcement

[lakedistrictclaret]

Yes, but I'm not saying the owners themselves should have an emotional attachment, only that they should recognise that the fans have.
Owners like Barry Kilby and Delia Smith are very much in the minority now, sadly.

[eastcoastclaret]

I think many clubs do recognise that, and therfore create media content for fans to feel close to the club and players during the season. Unfortunately the close season is when business decisions are made and that can't be made public in the same way.

Very much so, because football has become a big money industry, and people like that cannot afford to get involved..... Times have changed so much, the co-op don't care like they used to, you don't even get the divi now

[LowtonClaret]

Granada Reports just stated he's been appointed and just waiting on the work permit

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Granada Reports just stated he's been appointed and just waiting on the work permit

No it didn't, it just said "close to appointing"

[Pearcey]

The fact that Journalists like Nixon are tweeting about Burnley transfers makes me think VK is already working for us.

You do get the Divi. You scan your card, the money builds up and you can have the cash off any co op bill.

Not quite the same, but it was tongue in cheek anyway
