Next manager

[Carlos the Great]

Just wondering if the Jyllands-Posten chaps are still p!ssing themselves after getting knocked out? Also interesting they have heard of Bromley.

Remarkable that they thought they would roll Germany in my eyes.
Are you in Germany pal?

I didn’t know Bromley paid circa 4million a year for the services of a manager … I would be disappointed if Southgate became manager of Burnley too just for the record

[Newcastleclaret93]

How do you look a good manager without winning out of interest?

The same reason everyone’s being talking him on here.

Looks to have something about him. But all in all Denmark didn’t win a single game at the euros.

So I guess it’s just one of those. We will have to see how he does if he comes in.

[bobinho]

Apparently it’s deffo happening lad I work with has put a big bet on after being told by someone at the club

Let’s hope he’s prosecuted to the full extent of the law, then hounded by the media for weeks.

[It Is What It Is]

It's very concerning BFC may appoint a manager with no knowledge or experience of the demands of Championship football.
The sheer intensity of it with fixtures, travelling etc is not for the inexperienced.
Rosenior for me.

I know what you mean
That Kompany guy had no idea also

Seem to remember the same arguments about Kompany, turns out it was the level he’d spent most of his playing career at that he made a mess of.

Perhaps the sacral quality of the championship is overdone and if we employ a manager with a decent amount of experience managing football teams at a range of level, they’ll pick it up. Have a bit of faith in the recruitment process, they might be looking at stuff like that.

[agreenwood]

Add Kieran McKenna to the list of managers with little experience of the EFL who somehow managed to master it.

He went from coaching United’s youth teams to getting consecutive promotions in his only two full seasons to date. He’d never played senior British football either.

Enzo Maresca also didn’t fare too badly in his only season coaching in the Championship.

[It Is What It Is]

Considering he spent most of his football career in England, he would have had a very very idea!

Kompany
McKenna
Maresca
Bielsa

It's a myth.

[AGENT_CLARET]

Kompany

Absolutely spot on, some people on here are proper drama queens

Kompany had experience of being a premier league winner, it didn't stand BFC in good stead last season did it?

[bumba]

Southgate is probably the one manager if appointed id actually hand my season ticket back, watching England and listening to his interviews should show anybody inept he is

[ArmchairDetective]

The argument of needing a manager with championship experience is logical, I get that. But the flip side of that is the longer you spend around someone/something the more like it you become. Therefore a manager with greater championship experience is more likely to be just that, a Championship manager.

I'd prefer us to go with someone a little different that bucks the Championship trend, a la VK.

Eddie Howe has been successful in all four Divisions

[AGENT_CLARET]

Kompany had experience of being a premier league winner, it didn't stand BFC in good stead last season did it?

Premier league Player experience 100% Yes

Premier league Manager experience 100% No

Two totally different animals

[South West Claret.]

As an aside since Howe has been at Newcastle he seems to have ballooned to almost Steve Bruce proportions

[bumba]

Premier league Player experience 100% Yes

Premier league Manager experience 100% No

Two totally different animals

Still knows the league and what it's about.
Pep had no premier league experience whatsoever but hasn't done too shabby

[Shaggy]

Eddie Howe has been successful in all four Divisions

He wasn’t successful with us. Infact he was an abject failure.

[RVclaret]

Hjulmand after the game last night

“I have a contract [until 2026].

“Afterwards we will analyse everything and talk about it. We will see how we can improve the team.”

Doesn’t sound like he’s our new manager

[Pickles]

Spoke to my Danish friends yesterday and they're pretty sure last night was his last game as Denmark manager. They don't sound too gutted if that's the case either.

Agreed-I guess we all thought something would materialise immediately after Denmark's exit. However he may be a very good diplomat, and bought himself a little bit of time with his statement

This always sounded a bit of an odd one to me so this doesn't come as much of a surprise.

He has had a few bob to help him along the way!

Didn’t Kompany say something similar after the Spurs & Forest games?

[brexit]

Agree Dyche mk2

Are you in Germany pal?

Yes here to watch both england and german matches. The Bromley thing is because one is a fanatic brondby supporter apparently. They believe they were robbed and he is staying. Interesting veiria is being mentioned as leaving Strasbourg by a couple of people

[AGENT_CLARET]

You're comparing Pep and his Trillion pound Squad to how Kompany did

[Pearcey]

Agree Dyche mk2

7 premier league seasons and a trip to Europe then. Get in!

[Benson]

Agree Dyche mk2

We should be so lucky.

[Blyclaret]

Dyche love in continues….. ffs .. give it a rest

[bumba]

No but the amount our squad cost compared to any other in the championship this season a manager with no championship experience should still be able to win it.

Pep had no experience but an expensive squad.
Said manager to us has no experience but an expensive squad.

[Pearcey]

Dyche love in continues….. ffs .. give it a rest

For some reason the Dyche bashing continues too. Maybe they should give that a rest because bashing a manager who gave us what he did makes them look a bit daft.

He’s gone, let it go.

[mkmel]

Dyche love in continues….. ffs .. give it a rest

Sean Dyche was one of our top 2 managers of all time.

Did a brilliant job while he was our manager while having financial restrictions.

We have a lot to thank him for.

[Blyclaret]

Yes yes and yes. But he’s gone. Not coming back move on.
Like saying I had the best ex girlfriend.

[Benson]

This news seems to create calm on message board. No bickering.

A tad ironic when you seem to be one of the main instigators of the bickering.

[Blyclaret]

No …. I trying to get people not to bicker. That comment is just **** stirring.

[randomclaret2]

Just looking at the Danish managers' CV and managerial numbers. Nothing amazing as far as I can see...have I missed something ?

[Guller Bull]

Carefully crafted Dyche discussion thread up and running for those that want to vent their spleen.

[ClaretInLeeds]

I don’t know any Danish people. I feel like I’m missing out.

[NewClaret]

Yes, being truthful, I don’t see much that really attracts me to him just looking at the stats.

[Guller Bull]

Only bedwetters don’t know any Danes.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Do we know if it’s actually this guy or is this another smokescreen?

[ClaretTony]

It will be interesting to see what, if anything, now comes of these rumours linking us with the Denmark manager.

It's so strange that nothing of much substance has emerged and it all seems quite unlikely, but two things are of interest for me. Firstly, the hiring of this Danish assistant coach, and secondly, according to Wikipedia he spent some time in the Nineties in the USA. Two things which may be purely coincidental, but you never know.

Forget the hiring of a Danish coach, that was a Kompany appointment to replace Bellamy.

[kentonclaret]

[ClaretTony]

I’d better change my bed then

[claretspice]

I think there's a reasonable argument that taking someone who has no previous experience of English football, let alone the Championship, would be something of a risk, and in relation to the Bielsa comparison it is reasonable to note that in his first season at Leeds they fell away badly, possibly in part because he underestimated the intensity of a 46 game campaign. I also think there's a reasonable argument that any manager coming in who is completely fresh to the Championship would benefit from an assistant who does have that experience.

In terms of the Danish manager, he is clearly well regarded as a coach and if he did get the gig he'd be a very interesting appointment. But should he be our man - particularly given his experience at Mainz, the only time he's coached at club level outside Denmark, you'd hope he'd surround himself with some counsellors who have been around the Championship before.

What do you expect him to say right after the game

‘Yes this is my last game, I am now leaving’

Standard PR answer that Burnley job or no Burnley job.

He could still leave Denmark and not be on Burnley’s list

[It Is What It Is]

Kompany had experience of being a premier league winner, it didn't stand BFC in good stead last season did it?

Yes but we didn't have a billion pound squad and 115 financial charges against the club

[123EasyasBFC]

The Turfcast boys are adamant it’s between Bellamy and Parker

[Guller Bull]

Water bed is the way to go. Always blame the leakage on a leakage.
