Next manager

[Rick_Muller]

Who’s to say Lampard hasn’t learnt from his experiences, or Parker for that matter. Not saying I’d choose either of them personally, but if they are selected I’ll support the team and wish them well.

[Paddy1882]

Bellamy now 8/1 with Sky Bet, Bellamy with Jackson as number 2 and bring in another coach like it was reported we were looking at the other week. Could explain why his departure hasn’t been announced.

[123EasyasBFC]

Bellamy 6/1 now, CT said he had left and another poster said you can take what CT says to the bank with you so who knows

7/2 and now second favourite with sky bet, I do wonder….

[boyyanno]

Pretty sure CT is correct that Bellamy left but obviously this has since happened so maybe the decision has been re-considered. He could still apply for the job either way.

That being said I haven't heard the greatest things about Bellamy behind closed doors either- hardly surprising given his reputation, and he's definitely not someone I would want as manager.

[CoolClaret]

Ruud and Phelan anyone?

One of the rumours I was told is that the academy director who came from Shrewsbury isn’t a fan of Bellamy at all

I don't want either but what would make me feel better about them is if we knew whether they'd used their time out of work (1 year+) to study the game, observe better managers both here and abroad. Just learning from what went wrong last time (and the time before that, and the time before that) isn't enough.

I have a suspicion that neither will have.

I don't want to be making allegations on here but my opinion of him is that he's a bully at best, many other things at worst.

[Darnhill Claret]

What is ridiculous about Thierry Henry?

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Brian Laws.

Okay apart from Laws

[aclaretinstevenage]

I'd vote for giving this set up a try. Better than Failed Frank or Pony Parker.

[Steddyman]

You heard it here first, new Burnley manager:

[claptrappers_union]

I think its going to be Frank Lampard

Ticks all the boxes

Glittering Premier League career
Former England International
Played in MLS
Managed in Championship
Managed in Premier League
Currently the face of large Fintech company

ALK written all over it.

[claptrappers_union]

First Vincent, then Raphael. Who next? How about former Brazilian ace Leonardo, or Pablo Zabaletta perhaps.

Nobody can surely think Bellamy and Jackson are the ones to take us forward

[It Is What It Is]

Just a guessing game this post really but it's a bit of fun.
My money's on Lamps......could do an awful lot worse.
His missus works BBC Salford so.... vicinity ok.

[claptrappers_union]

Moyes will have one eye on the Scotland job

Let's hope they choose success over gloss and failure.

The never eas Carlton Palmer trying to make a play for his pal Scott Parker.
Noooo.

[Steddyman]

Who the heck is Bo Henriksen, just popped into the Sky odds at 16/1?

[Pickles]

He likes to rotate his team but he's in charge, he picks the players. He's the Bo Selecta.

[HahaYeah]

Bo Henriksen

[Clovius Boofus]

He has a lot of strength of character. His nickname is Strong Bo.

[It Is What It Is]

Could someone set up a fans choice thread vote as to who they want as our next manager...you know them vote icons and gives you the percentage etc...I personally don't have a clue but I'll vote LAMPARD all the way, for knowledge, prestige, attracting bloody good players who he knows etc., managed Championship and EPL...he's a bloody universal legend putting Burnley on the map...I'm sure the Watts would be happy as well.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

I know I’ll employ the guy that nearly relegated Everton and put Chelsea on what seemed like a 15 game losing streak, bingo!

what actually was the losing streak. I want to know how much you've exaggerated it

[claptrappers_union]

According to Wiki it was one win eleven

[agreenwood]

Bo Henriksen

Another foreigner, but this one has long hair.

This place would implode.

Bo Henriksen

He sounds like he has a lot of potential and ticks a lot of the boxes.

But he has only been in the job 2 months?

[HahaYeah]

We had one didn't we? Cooper was chosen who promptly ruled himself out of coming here.

[HahaYeah]

Mainz are currently 13th in the Bundesliga.

Since he came in, they've only lost 1 game, and scored 11 goals and conceded 2.

[Spijed]

Last 8 matches - won 2 drawn 1 lost 5

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Marcelo Gallardo is free

https://x.com/fabrizioromano/status/1795805899115610616

[HahaYeah]

According to WIKI:

Mainz 05 13 February 2024 - Present p13 w6 d5 l2

Sounds like he's a very upbeat personality.

When did we last have a manager with any hair, let alone long hair ?

[gandhisflipflop]

https://x.com/fabrizioromano/status/1795805899115610616

I mentioned it on here several times but as a lot of the resident football experts won’t have a clue who he is, it’s been ignored

[Alanstevensonsgloves]

Bielsa is the thinking mans choice.

Plus there is a mural to him near where I live.

[123EasyasBFC]

People are backing Bellamy, I think it’s crazy to even think Bellamy could be the manager

I really hope it doesn’t happen.

T'Roverrrs hold the world record for the most consecutive number of bald managers in the post war era...

Keane (legend)
Henning Berg
Michael Appleton*
Gregg Wallace

*Appleton has since admitted he actually had hair, just shaved it bald.

Coyle was a pube.

[123EasyasBFC]

Really really hope he doesn’t, would rather have Parker or Lampard over Bellamy

Next manager betting markets at this stage of the process are really not a good indicator of the next manager and shouldn’t be taken at face value.

[Toby Carvery]

Why does it matter what the Academy Manager thinks of Bellamy?

[123EasyasBFC]

Why does it matter what the Academy Manager thinks of Bellamy?

When Bellamy is sticking his word in regarding the academy, the guy from Shrewsbury brought in to manage the who academy and his boss is Paul Jenkins, Bellamy shouldn’t be getting involved

[Toby Carvery]

Is there some context you could share? Was it an issue with a particular player, for example, or was he interfering with general Academy processes?

[Stockbrokerbelt]

What is ridiculous about Thierry Henry?

Has he not just become the French u21 coach?
