Next manager

[burnley007]

Jacub Neestrup is the new manager.

[NewClaret]

Bo Henriksen is 100/1 quick get the cash on!!!

Annoying.

Before I post stuff on here I should put a bloody bet on!

Managed to get £20 on at 20/1. Now suspended.

[NewClaret]

I just stuck a tenner on for a sheer punt and he's dropped to 20/1 as a result, so don't get excited by the sudden shift

Did you get 100/1?

[jedi_master]

Did you get 100/1?

Yeah I did, £1,010.

[ArmchairDetective]

I miss when we had Ruud Van Nistelrooy as manager. The good old days.

[Rileybobs]

Looks like a done deal

[jedi_master]

Now 6/1 with Sky - if ever any proof was required around how small bets are moving this market. Worth a punt because of the assistant story, but still seems an unlikely one to me.

I preferred the Scott Parker era, that man gave us some great memories.

Parker was OK, but he's no Frank Lampard.

Fiver for me @ 100/1

[colne-claret]

Hes 6/1 on Sky Bet now

[SalouClaret]

I had 20 quid on Ruud at 33/1. Hoping it comes in

[IanMcL]

FAVOURITE: Ruud van Nistelrooy - 1/3
The former Manchester United striker has been out of work since leaving PSV Eindhoven in May 2023. Resigned from the role, citing a lack of support. Looks like he might miss out on the Leicester job.

[ArmchairDetective]

In all seriousness I don't see why Henriksen would want to leave a Bundesliga club for a Championship club and I don't see why Pace and the board would want to buy someone out of their contract when there are cheaper options available. But who knows. That article about Jensen can't have come from nowhere.

[NewClaret]

Fiver for me @ 100/1

Well done mate

[It Is What It Is]

Is it just me or is anyone else losing loads of sleep wondering about our new manager? Constantly on my mind ..it's like walking around with an umbrella up waiting for it to rain .My eyeballs are like p***holes in the snow, can't sleep right, not eating like I should then articles like this send me right over the effing edge!

[NewClaret]

Well done pal, helluva bet that one.

Here’s me faffing around reading his wiki page, concerned about his managerial record, while the smart lads are piling on and narrowing the odds

Not sure throwing money away is smart.

[NewClaret]

You don’t think it’s him?

[Rileybobs]

You don’t think it’s him?

No, I don’t think it’s anyone.

[dsr]

No, I don’t think it’s anyone.

That'd be a novel approach.

[Pearcey]

If true then it’s a strange move to appoint an assistant without confirmation of a manager. Maybe we’re still negotiating compo with Mainz.

[NewClaret]

No, I don’t think it’s anyone.

Burnley going for the managerless look in 24/25??

Alan still heartbroken and unable to move on?

Just that it literally isn’t anyone, as we don’t currently have a manager.

Reading this article he sounds like the coach we should have hired to save our Premier league status if the board had sacked VK at the turn of the year. I cannot see that he would leave his current job having only been there a few months.
Maybe Jensen is the new manager not assistant as claimed in that article!
This is just getting crazy....

[Pearcey]

BH down to 7/2 and RVN 4/11. People are lumping on!

[nil_desperandum]

I sincerely doubt that Pace would elect to appoint someone who certain 'elements' of our fanbase will reject outright due to history. Putting aside his previous club, which would be irrelevant to me, he has not done anywhere near enough in this league to justify getting a club like Burnley. That would be severely underwhelming considering the other options clearly interested.

If this post relates to JDT, then I don't see how anyone would have a problem with him due to his BRFC link.
He was there briefly, did a decent job, and so far as I'm aware never showed even the slightest disrespect for Burnley as a club or its supporters.
Whilst he wouldn't be my first choice, his pedigree is certainly better than some of those linked to the vacancy, and he likes to play good football too.
tbh, I'm not sure why he would leave his current job for us though.

[ArmchairDetective]

The only reason Henriksen has been mentioned (unless I've missed something) is because Jensen was his assistant at another club previously. There are no links to Henriksen other than those generated on here and in a WhatsApp group I'm in which followed a similar logic based on the Jensen article. I might be wrong but I wouldn't get carried away with this one.

The Jensen article does indicate that things are happening though. To add my own twist on speculation, I wonder whether 'assistant' is being loosely translated and Jensen might come in to work under a more experienced director of football of sorts...

[123EasyasBFC]

Could well be a case Jensen did his badges with RVN

[burnley007]

It does appear to be coming to a conclusion soon.

It's been fun.

Interesting piece in that article which reads:-

"I don't play the game, they do. So, I ask my players a lot: what do they trust in? What have they tried before? If I go into the dressing room and say, 'We have to do this, this and this' and the players are not comfortable, then I'm going to look stupid. Because we'd be doing it for my sake, so I can look good. I don't have to look good. I don't look good anyway. I haven't looked good in 49 years, so why should I start now?!"

Slightly different approach to last season!

A mate of a mate's brother's uncle's cousin has it from a really good source that Alan Pace was seen sitting on Pendle Hill with a banjo and a cowboy hat singing:

[bumba]

Henrik Rydstrom

[Raconteur]

It wouldn't surprise me if we got an assistant first.
I thought the word from the club was that we were looking for a head coach and not a manager.
Wouldn't the head coach just have to work with the coaches we already have.

[ClaretPete001]

In fact the same mate of a mate's brother's uncle's cousin has it from another even better source that Alan Pace was not only seen sitting on Pendle Hill with a banjo and a cowboy hat singing but wanted to release to the the press when VK left but was persuaded not to:

When you're in love with a beautiful Belgian: It's hard
When you're in love with a beautiful Belgian
You know it's hard (it's hard, you know it gets so hard)
Everybody wants him, everybody loves him
Everybody wants to take your baby home
When you're in love with a beautiful Belgian
You watch Bayern
(You watch Bayern, you better watch Bayern)
When you're in love with a beautiful Belgian
It never ends (it never ends, you know it never ends)
You know that it's crazy, you wanna trust him
Then Uli Hoeness hangs up when you answer the phone
When you're in love with a beautiful Belgian
You go it alone
Maybe it's just an ego problem
Problem is I've been fooled before
By fair-weathered friends and faint hearted lovers
And every time it happens, it just convinces me more
When you're in love with a beautiful Belgian
You watch his eyes (watch his eyes, baby, watch his eyes)
When you're in love with a beautiful Belgian
You look for lies (keep lookin' for lies, baby, look for lies)
Everybody tempts him, everybody tells him
He's the most beautiful Belgian they know
When you're in love with a beautiful Belgian
You go it alone
When you're in love with a beautiful Belgian
You watch Bayern (you watch Bayern)
(You better watch Bayern, you better look out)
When you're in love with a beautiful Belgian
Oh, it never ends (it never ends, you know it never ends)
When you're in love with a beautiful Belgian
You watch his eyes (watch his eyes, baby, watch his eyes)
(You better watch his eyes)
When you're in love with a beautiful Belgian
Keep lookin' for lies (keep lookin' for lies, keep lookin' for lies)
When you're in love with a beautiful Belgian...

Henrik Rydstrom

Could see how he might appeal to the board

[RVclaret]

Another possible link to Jensen is Hendrik Rydstrom who was at Kalmar with him, and currently manages Malmo. But then again surely we can’t be taking two managers from the same league

Rydstrom was in the betting for the Brighton job recently and is now into 3rd favourite for us. Brighton fan article here discussing his style of play:

https://www.wearebrighton.com/newsopini ... on-street/

[ArmchairDetective]

Don't they have baby name books in Scandinavia?

[HahaYeah]

Henrik Jensen.

Speaking during his first interview as Kalmar manager, Jensen was asked about the style of coach that he is, to which he said: "Meticulous, structured, someone who looks a lot at the game, the tactical part. That's where I start somewhere, then I'm clear and direct in my communication when it comes to football."

He also offered an insight into the style of football that we intended to implement, and it could offer a good explanation as to the reasoning behind Burnley's approach for him.

Jensen said: "I want to have as much control as possible in the matches. With and without ball. It is important. The goal is to build on the style of play

that the club set. We must be a possession-driven team that takes the initiative with the ball and conducts a high defensive game."

It wouldn't surprise me if Jensen had been earmarked as the new assistant to Kompany before he left.

Perhaps Kompany is the new manager. I’ve just put £20 on at 100/1.

Just read that and I’m sold. Hendrick Rydstroms Claret Blue Army.


Probably more of a sign of how desperate I’ve become for it not to be Lampard Rosenior Parker or Bellamy

[ervi34]

Has anyone actually checked how reliable the original source was? People here are sceptical when Nixon and Jones put something out but chose to believe some random article from Swedish press.

He sounds fabulous. Would be good to watch. Slightly different approach to the Dyche era!

Get him signed! (Think that's the 4th time I've said that about a linked manager so far!)

[burnley007]

After weeks of dull links, today it has burst into life with really exciting candidates!

More please, more!

[Roosterbooster]

If Jensen is assistant manager, is Bellamy leaving?

[HahaYeah]

If Jensen is assistant manager, is Bellamy leaving?

Or is Jensen the assistant to Bellamy?

[burnley007]

Or is Jensen the assistant to Bellamy?

Nope

[HahaYeah]

Nope

No, I wouldn't think so, could be Rydstrom.

From link:

Rather than players remaining in fixed areas, spread out across the pitch to stretch and switch the play, this new-style pioneered by Diniz effectively involves as many teammates as possible flocking to where the ball is.

“The team go wherever the ball-carrier needs them, like a swam of bees protecting their queen,” is how The Independent describe it.

If it sounds like total chaos, that is because it is. But it is the sort of chaos opponents have no answer to. The other team cannot predict and therefore stop what a Rydstrom side is going to do because the Rydstrom side do not know themselves.
