Next manager

[123EasyasBFC]

Parker somehow feels worse than Scott Parker

[NottsClaret]

Nixon says Parker is on the list. Lampard doesn't sound that bad all of a sudden.

Ha.. thought the same. Can only be a ruse to make Lampard seem like the better option, which to be fair really takes some doing.

[CoolClaret]

I think I'd have Scott Parker over Lampard as bad as that sounds. No to either of them!

[123EasyasBFC]

Hasn’t Parker been sacked from the 3 jobs he’s had?

[ksrclaret]

Parker and Lampard have decent records in the Championship but the problem for me is that we need someone to come in and be a strong enough disciplinarian to sort out the sloppy mess that VK has left behind.

Neither of those two fit the bill there and that’s why I’m still hoping for a Cooper or Moyes appointment. I think I’m going to be disappointed.

[CoolClaret]

Hasn’t Parker been sacked from the 3 jobs he’s had?

Yeah but he's had 2 promotions from the Championship. That's not a bad record.

[123EasyasBFC]

Yeah but he's had 2 promotions from the Championship. That's not a bad record.

The Fulham one through play offs he should have walked it with their squad and then Bournemouth they spent a fortune in the Jan and nearly got pipped by coopers Forest. Massively failed in his two spells as a prem manager.

Another manager who can only do it with the biggest budget in the league

[ervi34]

Yeah but he's had 2 promotions from the Championship. That's not a bad record.

If that's that the case why don't we give Colin a call?

He got promoted mostly because he was in charge of clubs that were too good for Championship. He was awful in PL.

Not disagreeing - just saying that he's had two promotions.

Whoever takes the reins this time will have the biggest budget once again I'd imagine.

[Swizzlestick]

I can see why Parker has come up for consideration tbh but he’s not for me. Cooper remains the standout realistic candidate.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Cooper the obvious choice but I think they’ll go for a ‘bigger name’.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Please not Parker or Lampard .

I have a feeling that we will hear Van Nistelrooys name linked at some point

Scott Parker is a case study in the influence social media has on a manager’s reputation.

On paper, he’s not that bad. Not my favoured choice, but he’s younger that Steve Cooper and he’s had more promotions out of the Championship. Most folk wouldn’t bat an eyelid if we appointed Cooper.

[Spijed]

Starting to get the impression that the likes of Parker are appearing on the list is because others (better managers) are turning us down.

Yeah, definitely. What with Kompany still not announced as the Bayern boss and it being a full 48 hours since the compo having been agreed, it really is time to panic and assume nobody wants our job.

[CoolClaret]

He got promoted mostly because he was in charge of clubs that were too good for Championship. He was awful in PL.

... because he quit his last gig after about 3 weeks and is 75.

[Hedontplayforyou]

The Burnley job will be a very attractive proposition for many coaches this summer .

Yes a bloated squad but this also has its positives….a big pool to chose from and some very capable players at championship level.

[dandeclaret]

Go and get the button.....

[Penwortham_Claret]

Parker in from 33/1 to 3/1 on Sky Bet. Maybe there’s something in this but I remember that Kompany wasn’t even in the betting. My money is still on OGS

Manager markets are crazy, just takes one 50quid bet on someone 20s for it to go down massively

Bloody hope not.

Its ON THE BACK PAGE the feature on Sky Sports News. They usually have two sensible journalists on it each night

[warksclaret]

Someone needs to seriously have a word with Alan Pace

I’m watching sky sports news and it says ‘franks lined up by clarets’ that’s completely different to ‘closing in’

[Rileybobs]

Quite disrespectful for Burnley to be courting other managers whilst Kompany is still in his post.

[Spike]

Bellamy and Jackson must be in contention

[123EasyasBFC]

Bellamy and Jackson must be in contention

Why must they?

[Murger]

Oh dear

The odds are utterly pointless. A tenner bet probably moves them significantly.

[ClaretTony]

I would be amazed

[helmclaret]

Cooper and Parker 2/1 on Bet Victor.

Lampard currently 16/1.

[123EasyasBFC]

Oh dear

Put a tenner on Terry for a laugh and see where his odds drop to

[agreenwood]

It’s admirable that people keep pointing this out, but if posters want to ignore you and panic, just leave them to it.

Apologies I misheard the pundit as I entered the room-you are right about the headline. Seems like him and Cooper mentioned in the article, but interestingly both journalists felt Cooper is a better fit for us on a coaching basis

[helmclaret]

We’ve definitely moved on from the days when Keith Hill and Steven Pressley were always in be betting

[kentonclaret]

If Scott Parker is appointed I am sure the club shop will be selling a nice range in cardigans.

It will make a change from a baseball cap.

Nixon yesterday after his cooper and Lampard news saying Burnley willing to offer good wages and bonuses for someone significant is interesting

[Darnhill Claret]

We might have sounded 1 or 2 out by 3rd party, but I'm fairly certain that our chairman will not have contacted anyone himself at this very, very early stage in developments.

Really hoping it’s Graham Potter, but him turning down jobs competing in Europe doesn’t suggest he’d be willing to drop to the Championship, even for a side expecting to bounce back.

I’m hoping Lampard is not considered significant.

[Pickles]

Bellamy and Jackson must be in contention

Why?

[Darnhill Claret]

Do not rule out The Wizard just yet.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

If it’s Lampard we are doomed!

Hopefully someone intervenes before its too late!

One thing Garlick and Kilby were good at and that was choosing managers.

Potter could be sitting out till after the euros to see what happens with Southgate

Currently odds on favourite for the Brighton job and also priced up as favourite for the job at Leicester.

He is 4th favourite for the Brighton job.
Worth a look.
