Next manager

[RVclaret]

Which number of clubs exactly? Leicester possibly, yet they are getting a 6-15 points penalty deduction according to reports today, not ideal.

Looks like it’s between Lampard and Parker then.

[agreenwood]

Can only imagine he’s under consideration for Leicester job unless someone is about to pot their manager.

[BurnleyFC]

I can’t imagine a “number” of clubs in the premier league are looking at Cooper.

Me neither.

I think if we wanted him we’d be able to get him.

[burnley007]

No probs Steve

Next..

1 is a number.

[Pearcey]

Disappointed that Cooper isn’t interested. Onto the next then. Would like Moyes but that’s incredibly unlikely. Don’t like the sound of any of the others mentioned.

[ksrclaret]

I think we all know deep down that it will be Lampard, assuming he wants it.

So be it.

[Bowclaret]

If true, dodged a bullet not right for us is Cooper

[CoolClaret]

Bit gutted about that one... He must be waiting for a PL job - onto the next one!

[HahaYeah]

We haven't dodged him, he's dodged us.

Could be Lampard or Robins or someone wacky like Wicky from the Wankdorf.

[Wokingclaret]

Oh well, won't have to look at his ugly mug every week

[Newcastleclaret93]

Yes same, that would have been a signing that shows real
Intent

[Pearcey]

At least Lampard and Parker are better looking. That should cheer you up.

No doubt he wants it....

He's out of work.

[JimmyRobbo]

1 is a number.

Exactly!

0 is also a number.

We move on.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Personally don’t believe the media in all this, too many lies and leaked fake stories. More like politics than football.

Strongly suspect BFC were not interested in Cooper, they want a ‘name’. Few in the US will have heard of Cooper, and those that have, don’t care.

The bit I’m not sure ALK get is the poor success rate of ex elite players as managers. Let’s be honest, so far Vincent has failed too because we had to be up by end of year 2 and staying there, not back where we started with no manager and a tougher league (Leeds) to compete with.

[ksrclaret]

Means nothing. He’ll hardly need to be working.

[claptrappers_union]

We’ll have our very own Plan K before we know it

[AfloatinClaret]

I'd rather we signed Wickey than Lampard or Parker.. to be honest, I'd rather have Brian Laws back than Frank the plank

[Vegas Claret]

We haven't dodged him, he's dodged us.

Could be Lampard or Robins or someone wacky like Wicky from the Wankdorf.

I've looked on a map, can't find it

[Hedontplayforyou]

Hope they’ve more imagination than Frank Lampard . Would be nice to hear some concrete links soon

[Pearcey]

Nothing to suggest Wicky would be a good appointment. Won the Swiss league with a side that was winning it most years and still got sacked. Also got sacked from an MLS club. Lampard had jobs at EPL clubs that were on a hiding to nothing, not saying I want him but he’s surely not worse than Wicky.

Leeds won't make the playoffs next year. Not worried about them at all.

[Burnley Ace]

He didn’t want to come to Burnley so that comment is in the same bracket as “signing Kloop would have shown intent”.

[Murger]

After Cooper and Moyes, I can’t say I’m enthused by any of the other names mentioned.

[Boss Hogg]

Can’t say I’m too bothered about Cooper. He seems permanently stoned to me. Not sure how many PL clubs will want him. The Lampard thing must be a joke. Appointing him will be just throwing away another season.

He could have two heads and be that ugly he needs a bag on each. If he’s the best man for the job, I don’t care what he looks like.

Just shows how opinions differ because I can’t say I’m enthused by Cooper and Moyes.

Moyes more so than Cooper though.

[warksclaret]

Will take a very brave manager to go to Leicester. Their fans down here fearing a 9-16 point deduction for the new season

[IanMcL]

No uglies fir Burnley.

Come on Mr Moyes.

[JR1882]

Wicky isn’t even in the betting on Skybet

[bumba]

Wicky isn’t even in the betting on Skybet

He is....he's 16/1 on there

[123EasyasBFC]

Kompanys PA that big Ro guy who always wears shorts is 50/1 on sky bet, shows how much they know

[Hedontplayforyou]

Just seen on “X” somebody had asked Alan Nixon about the Burnley job - and his reply was that he’d already posted the top 3 names .

If the top three are indeed

Cooper - apparently rejected the job
Lampard - please no
Parker - again a no from me

Then I feel a lot of fans are going to be very disappointed

[CoolClaret]

I've got a feeling it's gonna be Fat Frank. Gutted.

[Hedontplayforyou]

This would be a terrible move in my opinion

I know a few on here hang on every Nixon word… for me he’s just a scattergun journalist who occasionally gets a rumour. The rest of the time he just fires out his hunches and hope they land, while those hanging on his words forget the rest of what he came out with. We all know he USED to have OC’s ear but I’m far from convinced he’s been reliable since then.

[agreenwood]

**** me.

At least wait until we appoint a manager before you adopt the misery position.

[NottsClaret]

Lampard would have the same problem as Laws. We can all see the underwhelming record and however much you insist fans ‘give him a chance’, he’ll be on the back foot from day one.

Fair to point out the unfairness etc, but that’s how it’ll be.

[Stockbrokerbelt]

Can’t understand why some Burnley fans think we’re to good for the likes of Lampard etc? There’s not many managers who don’t get sacked in their careers, just look at Muriniho & Anchelotti.

It’s not just the getting sacked it’s his whole management record, I can actually understand Scott Parker more than Lampard because he’s actually been promoted twice.

[brexit]

wicky 9/1 my tenner at 100/1 yesterday looks good value.

[Alan Young]

wicky 9/1 my tenner at 100/1 yesterday looks good value.

Your tenner is probably why he’s now 9/1

[123EasyasBFC]

I put a 5er on cooper to Leicester yesterday evening at 11/1, refreshed sky bet and he was instantly 8/1

[Quickenthetempo]

Managers like Cooper, who have been sacked by Premier league clubs will still be getting Premier league wages, until their contract runs out.
They don't get paid off anymore.

It would take good jobs to get them out the garden

[HahaYeah]

I've looked on a map, can't find it

It's Wickys last clubs stadium,Young Boys play there.

[elwaclaret]

wicky 9/1 my tenner at 100/1 yesterday looks good value.

Only if it comes in, surely

[Carlos the Great]

Not sure what premier league club Cooper could manage ? Leicester perhaps .. not like we aren’t a good prospect .. i can understand if Moyes said that but Cooper ???

[roperclaret]

I've got a feeling it's gonna be Fat Frank. Gutted.

I’m not a Lampard fan, but I really don’t get the ridicule he gets on here. I think the only full season he had was at Derby, and he very nearly took them up. He’s also done quite well blooding young players
