Next manager

[NewClaret]

There is no way this squad is better than the one that got us promoted .. i think a lot of people underestimate how good that team was

I have explained my thinking in a post to Tony above. I won’t argue though, because we’re about to find out one way or the other.

[NewClaret]

It isn't Bellamy.
Believe it's Parker or Hjulmand.

If they’re the choices I’ll leave you to guess my preference.

[ClaretTony]

Maatsen, Tella, Harwood-Bellis, Cork, Barnes, JBG, Taylor were all key players.

[RVclaret]

Why wouldn’t be able to be interviewed during the Euros? He doesn’t have to attend it in person.

I understand the fact people can talk without being face to face

I just can’t see the Danish FA letting us speak to him in the midst of a major tournament.

[alwaysaclaret]

Maatsen, Tella, Harwood-Bellis, Cork, Barnes, JBG, Taylor were all key players.

And a certain Manuel Benson.

[ClaretTony]

And a certain Manuel Benson.

Although he’s still with us. All the others will be gone.

[eastcoastclaret]

If true, Parker seems great value at 8/1 with Sky

[alwaysaclaret]

Although he’s still with us. All the others will be gone.

Let's hope we can witness he's magic again

[ClaretTony]

Let's hope we can witness he's magic again

Amazing when you look back and see he only started fourteen leagues all season.

[brazilianclaret]

Maatsen, Tella, Harwood-Bellis, Cork, Barnes, JBG, Taylor were all key players.

Cork and Taylor barely started in the second half of the season...

[Hedontplayforyou]

Reads as a pretty sensible comment to me. The biggest risk is surely someone who has never managed at all.

That was my angle

[Carlos the Great]

From an unbelievably talented team taht for us 101 points playing fantastic football .. it’s pretty hard to believe that Benson Zaroury Muric not good for the team .. Tella wouldn’t be worthy of a decent bid and allowed Maatsen and THB walk out the door too … I think perhaps VK put his managing credentials above this group which resulted in a huge fall from grace

Maybe they’ve an agreement he’s leaving after this tournament.

[daveisaclaret]

I told my Danish pal about the links to Hjulmand and he said "my condolences"

[123EasyasBFC]

Wasn’t there a rumour on here pages back about pace interviewing someone at Manchester airport? That could well of been hjulmand

[Hedontplayforyou]

We relied a lot on Twine?

[ClaretTony]

They were still key players over the season

[ClaretTony]

Worth questioning. He started five games all season with four of them after we’d clinched promotion. The only game he started before promotion was at Millwall when he offered precious little.

[123EasyasBFC]

Would you not think, if it was Parker they would of announced him by now

[bumba]

Amazing when you look back and see he only started fourteen leagues all season.

No wonder he could never manage 90 minutes for us must have been exhausted from the other 13 leagues he played in

[bumba]

Would you not think, if it was Parker they would of announced him by now

Me personally yes I'd have thought so unless he's second choice behind Hjulmand and we have to wait to see how the euros pan out

[NewClaret]

Perhaps a poor choice of words on my behalf. I remember him playing a lot towards the end of the season and when not injured. 18 apps I think but as you say many from the bench.

But my broader point was that it’s an area I think we’ve strengthened as I think Ramsey has more pedigree at Championship level. I like Twine though, although I like anyone who can deliver a dead ball.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

I told my Danish pal about the links to Hjulmand and he said "my condolences"

Definitely one to avoid then. ‘Pals’ usually really reliable.

[Pickles]

Boggling to me how anyone would want Bellamy. Yes he knows some of the players but so do the media team and the chefs.

[123EasyasBFC]

I told my Danish pal about the links to Hjulmand and he said "my condolences"

The standard ‘he’s not that good anyway’ from a fan when anyone associated to their club or country is leaving

[warksclaret]

Definitely one to avoid then. ‘Pals’ usually really reliable.

Brings back memories of Huddersfield fans telling us they would drive Scottie Arfield to Turf Moor. What a signing he proved

[kentonclaret]

Unless some concrete evidence appears to the contrary I still believe it will be Bellamy by default as he is in situ and still remains the favourite with most bookmakers. Maybe for the opening dozen fixtures or so but the next couple of weeks will tell us more.

Do you not think he’d have been confirmed by now if that was the case.

[Hibsclaret]

A really poor manager should be able to get that squad promoted and I see no reason why a good manager would not walk the league. The squad has been heavily invested in and in terms of value and potential it is way above the promotion squad.

The best players in the promotion squad were loan players and there is nothing to suggest we won’t be able to bring in a few loan players of similar standard this season.

The main reason for failure last year was the style of play against teams of higher quality than ours. It is incredibly hard to play at premier league level with a possession based team.

The experience of last season should stand a few of the players in good stead given the quality of some of the performances such as at Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool.

[Vegas Claret]

They were still key players over the season

not just on the pitch either

[ClaretTony]

Why would you consider a manager for the opening dozen fixtures or so? Makes no sense to me.

Been told that uefa have been at gawthorpe ( off someone who is there on a daily basis ) and are there to 'fast track' Bellamy through his pro license. So did a bit of googling and Bellamy was in the process of taking the pro license in september 2023. Llnk to interview here https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/foo ... wn-7795039

It takes 18 months to complete (see pic) so could be the reason for delay ??

[Walt]

Wouldn't he also need a pro licence for Wales, if he is in for that job?

Don't think you need a Pro License for the Championship.

Just had a chat with my Danish friend Hans Christian and all he had to say was: "Emperor's New Clothes"

Make of that what you will...

Putting Bellamy in temporary charge whilst we search for a manager and whilst Bellamy finishes his badges.

Surely he would need pro licence to even be in interim charge

[Exeterclaret]

They were still key players over the season

One thing's for certain - the squad we have is stronger than the one Kompany inherited.

[Rowls]

Phil McCrackin is a joke name?

That joker failed to show for about FIVE appointments when I worked on a dentist's reception.

Doesn’t need a pro licence to manage in the Championship. He’s got the badges he would need.

[123EasyasBFC]

Would he need pro licence for prem or wales?

[ClaretTony]

To be bloody hoped so given how much it’s cost. It’s nowhere near as good as the squad we went down with in 2022.

[Casper2]

Takes a special kind of manager to spend £100million and weaken a squad

I think that link is 10 years old. From 2014?

[kentonclaret]

Not a single journalist or media outlet appear to have picked up on any prospective link between the manager of Denmark and the vacancy at Burnley. I very much doubt if we will learn any more before the match against Germany.

Giving the fact the Germany match is in 4 hours time it hardly takes a genius to think there won’t be any update about it

[Quickenthetempo]

And that's how it should be, let him finish his tournament before the media circus starts.

Although I'm not sure the media are being kind, just we're not very newsworthy at the minute.


A far cry from when we appointed Laws. Sky sports news etc were camped outside the clubshop for days on end.

[kentonclaret]

What concrete evidence can you point to of this supposed link other than a shortening of the odds on Sky Bet which appears to have happened following the post yesterday afternoon by CT?

There hasn’t been any concrete evidence to date and I am not expecting any prior to tonight’s game.
