Next manager

[NewClaret]

Where’s this info from? Who’s in the final 5 then?

Not being a knob but I’d rather not say as can’t be certain how reliable the info is but if Tony can confirm that’s accurate (that we have a final 5 and RVN isn’t in it) then I’ll post who else I was told was out of the running.

As for who is in, details sketchy and 2 names undisclosed and also not public yet.

[NewClaret]

Fabregas would potentially bring T Henry as part of his staff.

That would attract names, even Lorenz might regret his decision...

Henry would be a really interesting choice. Only really managed the French youth teams so a complete unknown and high risk but would be such a big name you would expect he’d attract a lot of players.

Presumably managing an English club would attract him and be a step up from international youth football, so a good next step in his development.

He might also turn Foster in to a beast

[Woonderbah]

Henry also played for New York at the end of his career which would lift Burnley's profile in the US

It all adds up...

Apparently there's 8 in the final beauty parade after the owners have assessed a wide range of options, this process will be concluded by the end of June I've been told

End of June!

I’d have hoped for someone in sooner than that to start assessing what needs to be done and set the wheels in motion.

AP has a strong preference for the best looking in that parade. Surely no bigger clue

[IanMcL]

If we are down to 5 and Bellamy,Lampard,Parker are 3 of them. We are in bother.

Lampard looks more Brum now. Looks like we declined his offer.

I have no idea who that could be.

He managed monaco

What's the latest up to date betting odds for our next manager please guys?

[Walt]

Frank Lampard
5/6
Craig Bellamy
9/4
Ruud Van Nistelrooy
8/1
Scott Parker
12/1
Alan Pardrew
14/1
Carlos Corberan
20/1

[leightonjameslegend]

Think we are waiting to see who Leicester and Brighton appoint. Cooper and Coberon can't both get the job and Brighton might go back for Potter. Also Leicester have reported interest in Ruud van Nistelrooy. Can't see it being Henry he is the manager of the France Olympic team and depending how they do that doesn't finish until 10 August - the weekend the season starts.

[123EasyasBFC]

Fabregas isn't manager at Como, he's assistant while doing his badges.

He's the top choice for me.

He comes across very well.

He literally has shares in como, he’s not leaving for Burnley

[ClaretTony]

It’s all really been quiet. One or two we approached said no thanks I believe so it never got as far as talking to them. I suspect Cooper was one of them.

I can’t imagine there is anything in Pardew but the word continues to be that Pace wants a big name so Lampard fits the bill there.

The fact that we’ve appointed a caretaker manager suggests we might be waiting for some time. There really isn’t much need for a caretaker right now with the players away. I heard that VK would have had them back in now as he did last year but I think that’s now been put back to the last week of this month.

The betting suggests nothing is anywhere near close as yet.

Bit like VK had at Burnley you mean?

[burnley007]

Fabregas desperately wants to manage in the Premier League. We are about as close as you can get atm.

I just don't see a Premier League club taking a chance on him for a while yet...

[Blyclaret]

Both Lampard and Parker have been out of work for some time now. Loads jobs have come and gone and they never got a sniff. Tells you everything you need to know.

Don't want to go off topic but getting them back so soon would have been ridiculous. After a season like that a proper break and come back refreshed would be miles more beneficial. Just more evidence of VK being stubborn/pig headed.

[123EasyasBFC]

Kompany didn’t have shares, having a scouting network the club uses is completely different

[ClaretTony]

Both early 2023 when they lost their last jobs

I don’t think it went down well last year to be honest

[kentonclaret]

Kompany walked off straight into another job and he proved to be no great shakes as far as managing in the PL.

[NL Claret]

I do recall Gary Neville questioning Burnley’s pre-season plans at the time. Possibly another indication that VK wasn’t too sure in his approach to the PL.

[123EasyasBFC]

If there’s a 5 man shortlist and 3 of those are Bellamy Lampard Parker then I’m worried who the other 2 are

[Murger]

Not Ole anyway

I’ve said it before but in October 2012 we had a shortlist of Sean Dyche, Stephen Pressley and Steve Lomas. Maybe not worried but definitely underwhelmed.

Can’t compare were we are now to 2012 but I see your point, it’s very underwhelming

[northeastclaret]

Would be happy with either Corberan, Cooper or Robins, all three would take us up next season and then take us forward in the Premier League. They all can’t be appointed to jobs in the premier league this month so very happy Alan to have whose left?

Birmingham City appointed Rooney and now want Lampard. Some owners never learn , leave them to it Alan

Cooper wasn’t interested was he?

Gareth Ainsworth and Nathan Jones.

[RVclaret]

Problem is getting Corberan or Robins out of their clubs. Why would they want a move to a fellow Champ club? Even though we have the best chance of promotion next season, they might want to show loyalty to their respective clubs, just like we’d hope our manager will/would in a similar position.

It depends on the length of their respective contracts, the level of our interest/valuation and if they have aspirations of managing in the PL.

[Penwortham_Claret]

Parker over Robins for me but it’s all down to opinion

[northeastclaret]

Cooper wasn’t interested was he?

Hoping that if he doesn’t get one of the Prem jobs he will reconsider our interest , maybe he even said that?

Shame he has the same agent as Lampard who will be pushing him for us because we would be the best he could ever hope for, if he becomes a manager again .

[helmclaret]

Hardly any movement in BV odds for the last few days

I think you answered your own question there , because they would have the best chance with us. Haven’t we also read that everything wasn’t as rosy for Corberan at WBA as he would have liked? Also it doesn’t look like Corberan would be very loayal if Leicester want him .

[Rick_Muller]

Fab and Henry

I'm sold on the idea

[wilks_bfc]

Looks like Ole is out the running

Apparently going to be named as Besiktas manager

[Taffy on the wing]

Thank God for that!

[golden days]

Not looking like he's signing for them now

[elwaclaret]

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has been announced as the new Beşiktaş manager.

[HahaYeah]

That's weird lots of sources saying OGS is in at Besiktas including this one from about 20 mins ago.

[Penwortham_Claret]

Maybe he’s had his head turned at the last minute

[HahaYeah]

EDIT: Well, close anyway.

[HahaYeah]

Maybe he’s had his head turned at the last minute

Pace may have stepped in?

Big name and all that...

[golden days]

Maybe he’s had his head turned at the last minute

I doubt they'd have been able to get somebody else that quick if that was the case

[claret2018]

Call me old fashioned but I’d like an actual manager rather than a great ex-player. I suspect that won’t happen though

[dougcollins]

Hardly any movement in BV odds for the last few days

Why are Bellamy and Parker the wrong way round?

Very strange. Looked as though OGS had the job.
