[Vegas Claret]

Waiting for his work visa to clear, it takes 21 days after after job offer/interview

rubbish, they can still announce him subject to a work permit which he will 100% get

[123EasyasBFC]

Paperwork. Was done last week. Be announced this week. Good appointment imo

Will you give it all up now acting like you know things. You need a better hobby

[Steddyman]

Lampard 33/1. Just saying.

[Murger]

Oh no. That means it’ll be Bellamy then

[123EasyasBFC]

From Birmingham World (whatever that is)

Burnley are still searching for a new head coach following the departure of Vincent Kompany to Bayern Munich and Corberan, despite being happy at West Brom, cannot be ruled out.

The Clarets have been in advanced talks with ex-Netherlands international striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has been unemployed since leaving the managerial post at PSV Eindhoven at the end of the 2022/23 season. An update on that front could squander Burnley’s chances, however, meaning other targets may have to be considered instead.
Respected transfer news journalist Fabrizio Romano reports van Nistelrooy has been approached by his former club, Manchester United, to join Erik ten Hag’s new-look coaching staff. The decision is in the 47-year-old’s hands as an offer is said to already be on the table from Burnley.
West Brom will be hoping van Nistelrooy decides to take the job at Turf Moor rather than Old Trafford. As reported by Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri last week, Corberan is among three candidates for the Burnley job, with van Nistelrooy and an unnamed contender the other two.
If van Nistelrooy rejects the Clarets post and the Belgian reports are to be believed, Corberan will be under serious consideration to succeed Kompany. Albion remain hopeful the Spaniard will stay at The Hawthorns but Burnley would offer a clear upward step.
Having been recently relegated from the Premier League, the Lancashire outfit would likely push for automatic promotion straight away. West Brom, meanwhile, are set to target play-off football once again but transfer funds are severely limited to make that objective a reality.

There's going to be no thread to follow when you're done with this witch hunt, 123

It’s an extremely strange hobby for people to have

It’s just weird for people to be sat behind a screen of a phone to think oh I’ll make something up about Burnley’s new manager

[CoolClaret]

I think it's fair to say that no one knows, not even Fabrizio, who is known to delete stuff that he gets wrong.

[agreenwood]

Good luck to RVN if he’s hitching his future head coach prospects to the Man Utd wagon.

It’s not served many well over the last decade.

[quoonbeatz]

It’s just weird for people to be sat behind a screen of a phone to think oh I’ll make something up about Burnley’s new manager

It's just as weird to be bothered about them doing it. The only info that counts is from the club when they announce who the new manager is. Everything else is just fluff.

[AGENT_CLARET]

rubbish, they can still announce him subject to a work permit which he will 100% get

Yes they could still announce it but it's more like we're choosing not to

[randomclaret2]

RVN's CV in the 12 years since he retired from playing does suggest that coaching, rather than managing, is his preferred option

[willsclarets]

ffs United, feels very much like a hijacking is on the cards. Gutted.

[Pearcey]

Yes they could still announce it but it's more like we're choosing not to

Probably not announcing because it’s not a done deal. Although you did say it was 100% done.

[ArmchairDetective]

Nothing official yet. Still a possibility that RVN's team are pushing this Man U story to force our hand.

[HahaYeah]

If he goes to Man U now, maybe we've dodged a bullet.

[AGENT_CLARET]

I didn’t suggest we did need to

You said "there is nothing to stop us announcing it as they did at other clubs"

I said we don't have to do what others clubs do

[HahaYeah]

Dutch newspaper AD is reporting Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to return to Manchester United as an assistant manager to Erik ten Hag.

The Dutch coach has been linked with multiple managerial positions in recent months, and last week there were claims he was set to join Burnley.

That was quickly dismissed by the same newspaper group which is bringing these claims. AD say negotiations are ongoing but they sound very confident that this is a sure thing and the former striker will be back at Old Trafford soon.

Ten Hag is then expected to be given an extension on his contract, and will work with Ruud van Nistelrooy in the long term.

Presumably, the Dutchman will be assisting with attack and it can only be good for youngsters coming through art the club. The obvious beneficiary is Rasmus Hojlund, and the Denmark international is likely to be thrilled with the news.

The job could of been offered and agreed, nothing would be signed and official until his right to work in the UK is approved, then Man utd jump in and it changes everything who knows certainly not me

[Swizzlestick]

Starting to get the impression we've 'dropped the ball' on this one, to use a familiar Americanism.

[123EasyasBFC]

First post on this thread.....be patient, Ruudboy is waiting to happen.

Remember this from last night hahaha absolute blagger giving in large that you had inside info it was a done deal

[RVclaret]

Impossible to know.

[ClaretTony]

You said "there is nothing to stop us announcing it as they did at other clubs"

Exactly what I said - nothing to stop us.

[ervi34]

No, no, no... Ruud rejecting us for Man United? That simply can't be true. There were reliable source on this very board telling us they've heard and they've been told it's a done deal.

[Swizzlestick]

Remember this from last night hahaha absolute blagger giving in large that you had inside info it was a done deal

Royboy is one of the more senior posters on here and contributes a lot to the board - certainly a lot more than you have. Perhaps he has got overexcited on this occasion, but bear in mind that you don't know anything about what is going on in people's lives so maybe cool it a bit yourself?

[gandhisflipflop]

Easy I know it’s annoying people claiming to be in the know and it’s sad, but you have made your point and don’t need to keep repeating yourself time and time again.

[NewClaret]

Impossible to know.

Yep, would suggest that the United links are more likely a sign we’ve told him he’s not been selected and so he’s picked up his plan b.

Thoroughly depressing.

[Suntan]

Stop it everyone, there’s no ball been dropped and we haven’t been pipped at the post by Utd or anyone else. If Pace and the board wanted RVN he’d have been appointed by now. All this rubbish is being pedalled from the RVN camp and the media are falling for it. He was a person of interest, who we've likely spoken to as with many other managers throughout this recruitment process. As soon as his team leaked it that was probably curtains on his Burnley managerial chances.

What does someone being senior have to do with anything when posting complete rubbish, you say cool it but happy to say someone contributes more than me, you are the exact same as me

Interesting. Is this an informed opinion?

[Hedontplayforyou]

How Ruuuuuuuuuud if true

[CoolClaret]

Tell you what though.

We do need a manager appointed damn quickly - luckily for us the season starts a tiny bit later than it did this time two years ago.

[Vegas Claret]

I still wonder who the unnamed 3rd guy is

[jos]

I predict this thread will pass page 130 before we find out.

[agreenwood]

It is entirely possible that RVN was not our first choice and he’s been in talks with Utd for a while. Bit of planting/exaggerating our interest might sped things up at the United end.

Afterall, there wasn’t many serious journalists reporting RVN as our favoured candidate. Just two agent-friendly twitter personalities.

[jedi_master]

People can pretend we have it all in hand all they want - the players are back today and being coached by Michael Jackson and Craig Bellamy. What on Earth are they thinking one wonders? A gigantic squad full of players, a third of which have been farmed out here, there and everywhere on loan over the last 6-12 months. We are absolutely rudderless currently and Kompany has been gone a month.

A manager is a desperate, desperate requirement just due to the sheer volume of work that there is to be completed. We have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes but on the face of it we’ve been possibly led a merry dance by Van Nistelrooy and seem no closer to an appointment than we were when Kompany bailed.

[123EasyasBFC]

Interesting. Is this an informed opinion?

Stop entertaining him! Hahaha yesterday he said pace wouldn’t go near the ‘sulky Dutchman’ and today he’s saying he was a person of interest and probably someone we have spoken to

[jedi_master]

Anyone need a wet wipe?

Me

[Murger]

I hope we move onto Corberan pdq, if the Ruud to United story is true.

[northeastclaret]

Whatever is going on with RVN , I would imagine a player of his profile like Kompany , if he is successful this season would have plenty of clubs trying to entice him away for next season. Which as long as we won promotion I wouldn’t think would be a big problem, but not what you want.
Hopefully this clears the way for Coberan who IMO is less of a risk and would much more likely provide us with continuity if we won promotion.

[jedi_master]

I hope we move onto Corberan pdq, if the Ruud to United story is true.

Corberan would be excellent but would surely need compensation agreeing etc which may make it a longer process.

[RVclaret]

Corberan apparently (according to the Athletic) has a £4m release clause, which I can’t see us paying when other options like Bellamy and Parker are free.
