Next manager

[DanH90]

No idea if this rumour about the Danish manager is kosher but regardless this is a deep article from him. It gives a clue what makes him tick and what may make him attractive to some owners - identity, sustainability, diversity etc.

Also drops in that lightening incident that probably made many Danish players twitchy earlier.

This is a good read and actually makes me more excited about Hjulmand as a potential option. Really like what he said about developing a vision before a playing style. What makes Burnley Burnley. It strikes me that this was lost last season under Kompany, and the style over substance that many of our players showed created a disconnect with the supporters. Hjulmand May return us to the fundamentals of hard work, grittiness and passion that Burnley fans need to see over any patterns of play, tactical set up etc.

People were linking the hiring of Jensen with Hjulmand already being our man. But has anyone considered that with Jensen already in post before VK left he may have had some input into managerial suggestions and could have put Hjulmand‘s name forward.

I also thought that too, then Jensen could long term become head coach, wasn’t Thomas frank a coach at Brentford before becoming head coach

There may be absolutely nothing in the links with Hjulmand, but if he is appointed I don’t think it would be a pure coincidence that our head coach and assistant are both Danish.

[brexit]

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.

I agree, just making the point that Southgate and Dyches styles seem to be similar. And to be fair, both manage to get results. So from our next manager, do we want pragmatic, dull but ultimately successful football or entertaining football that may get us relegated?

I agree, someone like Nixon covering his back saying Jensen was already coming in after saying he didn’t think there was anything to the links to start with

Parker is obviously being backed this afternoon gone from 7/1 to 2/1 and hjulmand is drifting to almost evens from 4/7

[Rowls]

This odds malarkey is great fun.

It's like those "Grand National" horse racing machines you used to get in the arcades. It gives the illusion that the "leader" is constantly changing when the truth is it's pre-determined from the start.

[NL Claret]

Perhaps the bookies have changed the odds to try and lure some mug punters in to a market that very few will have an interest in?

Not obvious to me that Parker is being backed and if he has , the money will be minimal.

Poor indicator these markets, not sure if it has been mentioned before.

[South West Claret.]

At least Parker has won the championship twice but there again Kompany has won it as well… tricky.

As is the illusion that some punters are having “big bets” when the truth is that Sky Bet and others have a £20 or £30 staking limit on these novelty markets.

[Blyclaret]

Lots money going on Parker today 6/4 now with the Dane

[taio]

The maximum stake with Sky Bet is £167. Small stakes move these markets anyway, hence the movement has been all over the show and best not to have taken too much notice especially in the early stages.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Can’t get enthusiastic whatsoever about the thought of Parker being our boss.

Don’t want him.

Any actual updates today?

[NL Claret]

How much is lots?

[burnley007]

How much is lots?

Too much

[123EasyasBFC]

So when Parker goes to same odds as hjulmand it’s just bookies and them trying to lure punters but when hjulmand went to odds on everyone said ‘there’s defo something in this’

They don’t move them that much, I put. Tenner on corberan when he was 12/1 last week and it didn’t move at all

I would think extremely unlikely

Everyone?

That sounds like the "we all know it's Lampard" line

[123EasyasBFC]

Everyone a loose term.

Yeah for a good week everything pointed to Lampard, he’s had longest stint as bookie’s favourite out of the 6 names that have been there

[NewClaret]

My god I hope we’re not waiting for Southgate.

[burnley007]

My god I hope we’re not waiting for Southgate.

Don't even f##king think of it.

Terrifying prospect.

The guy is a buffoon

We have discussed this loads, bookies don't set the odds to lure bets. Bookies odds are purely baseds on how much money is wagered on a manager. The more money goes on one, the lower the odds go so they don't end up paying out a fortune. It is just a mathamatical model to guarantee they win when all the bets together are taken into account.

[Rick_Muller]

Francesco Calzona Anyone?

[bumba]

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

Money can't buy experience

[Conroysleftfoot]

Looks like it could be Southgate folks.

[Bangers&Mash]

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is about to be out of a job…

[Rowls]

I agree, just making the point that Southgate and Dyches styles seem to be similar. And to be fair, both manage to get results.

I had to make myself a cuppa tea just to spit it out after reading this.

[Mattster]

Indeed, horrible take. In most ways they are polar opposites. Only similarities are reluctance to make substitutes and tendency to sit on a narrow lead.

Seriously underwhelmed with either Parker or Southgate.

Surely such a long drawn-out process doesn't spit out these two as our main candidates?

I would take Bellamy or Rosenior ahead of those two.

I know Parker has won the Championship but he doesn't inspire me with confidence, he doesn't come over well in TV interviews, so goodness knows how he has got so far in this marathon process.

I would prefer to leave it as is with Bellamy, Jackson and the Danish fella to work it out between themselves.

[Casper2]

Why do people still think Bellamy is an option, beggars belief

[TsarBomba]

I can’t see it being Bellamy or Parker, purely because we would’ve given them the job by now, surely?

Unless we’re revisiting the shortlist because our 1st/2nd choices etc have fallen through…

[taio]

Why do people still think Bellamy is an option, beggars belief

Because he's one of the favourites with the bookies and multiple articles in the media say he's an option being considered by the Board.

No experience at all , how do you know he’s being considered?

I wasn't commenting on his experience or ability for the job. I was simply answering your question on why people think he is an option. I don't know for certain but I think it's fairly obvious as per my previous post.

"Beggars belief"

I've not been on here for a while and the last time I heard that phrase was on here in about 2018

There's loads of vernacular rarely used elsewhere, Billy.

This maybe correct for a market on a horse race or another live event, the next Burnley manager betting is what they call a novelty market. Guaranteed win for the bookies, for example, Paddy Power’s max win on such a market is £500 per punter which is calcualted on the odds when the bet is placed. This next Burnley manager sky bet market is such a poor indicator.

[louieollie]

Sod that lets get the Georgian manager in

[123EasyasBFC]

After that England comeback I’m feeling all patriotic, get Scott Parker in tomorrow

I agree. Unless Bellamy needs to get visa clearance for being Welsh. Swansea passport office is notoriously slow.

[KRBFC]

The manager who lifted the Championship title last season had no prior experience

Aren't you someone who has contacts - can you give us a pool of 12 we can fight over?

[Casper2]

You really posted this , wow

[Longsider]

Aren't you someone who has contacts - can you give us a pool of 12 we can fight over?

Think you might be confusing me with someone else Keith. I don't have contacts, other than my lenses from spec savers. However, I'll take the left lense out, go into a transcendental state and predict.......... the Danish lad.
