Next manager

[Murger]

All of those who wanted Kompany out, enjoy the shite dull Parker ball!

Still playing with yourself looking at pictures of VK I see.

[BurnleyFC]

And as for him being our new manager, I wouldn’t have even had him in my top 100.

Still…

Agreed

It just seems unbelievable.

[Elizabeth]

Of all the names that have been mentioned, Parker would be a relief if he is appointed. This seems like it's been in the works for some time.

[dcunningham27]

As Del Boy would say who dares wins

Supposedly been told off one of the u23 team at Burnley too, madness what rumours fly around with things like this hahah shame for the lad

[South West Claret.]

No reports on the BBC about our new manager/head coach so that means we haven’t appointed one yet so stop getting your nickers in a twist

[boatshed bill]

Well, if it is to be Parker I wish him well.
He has some good young players to work with, could be an exciting season.

[123EasyasBFC]

As a season ticket holder who went and watched every god awful performance last season, I will support Parker. The idea of a young English manager coming to us with a point to prove at a hard working town just feels right. If he shows the passion he had as a player towards the fans after every win then he will soon win over the fans unsure of him.

[BurnleyMickSouth]

IF....its Parker ? will he be be bringing Lady Penelope with him? as his backroom staff, lol, because if hes rubbish after the first 10 games we might have to send for " INTERNATIONAL RESCUE" over to you Jeff Tracy......just saying like.

[Vegas Claret]

All of those who wanted Kompany out, enjoy the shite dull Parker ball!

look a the goal his Bournemouth team score here, this particular example is comfortably as good as anything the Kompany side did

[willsclarets]

I don't think, or I hope at least, once he's appointed that everyone will be behind him. I'm sure they will. He certainly wasn't my first choice, but fans tend to think a little more romantically. Do we really have any idea whether RVN or Hjolmund would do better? Not really.

[kentonclaret]

Wouldn’t be my choice and I cannot articulate as to why that is, but…we desperately need promotion and he has (however it’s been achieved) delivered that twice. We need an appointment now, so I’ll take this at this point because it’s getting ridiculous. Good luck to Scott (I absolutely refuse to call him Scottie).

I have just come off the phone with him and he’s absolutely thrilled with your decision.

It’s Scotty.

The fact he has a point to prove and it could well be his last opportunity at this level shouldn't be lost. As someone put it on twitter, if he was called Scottio Van Parkeroy then people would be happy

[DCWat]

Certainly wouldn’t have been my choice and I’m a little surprised that we’ve not opted for more of a name, considering the apparent approach of ALK.

At least we have a manager with a track record of getting teams promoted from the Championship.

Like him or not, enjoy his football or not, we have to give him a fair crack of the whip. He’s inherited a squad with potential, let’s just hope he can do what Kompany failed to do last season - turn them into a team.

[Casper2]

Great player

[Bosscat]

You have covered every "Spectrum" there Mick

Don’t get me wrong the thought of having RVN as manager excited me more than the kompany appointment but I think that’s just the nostalgia from the Tuesday night ITV coverage of champs league that RVN always seemed to score. But he would 100% have his next job in mind.

For me Parker if he starts well could be a manager that sticks around for a while and we becoming that hardworking annoying club from the north that everyone in the prem hated to play against but with a touch of style

[Vegas Claret]

Great player

it could be an excellent appointment for Cullen, you would hope he will help him raise his game (not that it needs it in the Championship)

[TsarBomba]

We’re overlooking the fact that Parker will be working with Henrik Jensen, which may help to evolve his style of play.

And Parker will also have a massive point to prove. He’s bombed in the Prem and also in Belgium. He may not have too many chances to manage in a top league again.

Not my first choice, but let’s get behind him.

yep agree, he wouldn't have been for me at all but like others I will back him 100% and hope he is incredibly successful for us.

[ClaretTony]

I think you're almost alone on that one MY OPINION

I don’t think so unless you now have the right to speak for everyone else.

[clarethomer]

So we have had the picture of our potential new manager at the airport - anybody found him eating locally and enjoying a local pub yet?

I seem to recall there was great interest/fear in VK's half time team talk - so to carry on the spirit of things that we like to see leading up to the potential appointment - here is a half time team talk whilst managing Bournemouth.

And the pre match talk with Fulham against Liverpool

[boyyanno]

All of those who wanted Kompany out, enjoy the shite dull Parker ball!

Remind me what you've been saying about people supporting Kompany?

Nice to see you're supporting the new potential manager from the off.

[burnley007]

Parker out

[Paddy1882]

Plenty of people on this board it seems have never made a mistake in life judging by the comments. I’m sure if you asked Scott now he’d say he’s made plenty, club Brugge probably being one of them but at least he had the balls to step out of his comfort zone and take a job in a different country, fair enough he failed but so have may others who have gone abroad. People will say he failed In the prem, Kompany absolutely stunk it out last season, it happens. The fact is you don’t win two promotions out of this league with two different squads by fluke. There’s some managerial qualities in there somewhere. The break he has had will hopefully have given him time to work out what went wrong in previous roles and why to ensure it doesn’t happen again and in turn he can hopefully become a better manager. Get behind him and the team, he might just surprise a few.

[123EasyasBFC]

Hahaha tbf I was told that Lampard was going to training ground the Monday after soccer aid to have his pictures done and interviews before he went to the euros.

Also that Taylor was nailed on for Everton.

Lucky I didn’t lump on Lampard, but I did fall for the bo Hendrikson link and stuck a tenner on him at 100/1

As much as results didn’t go well, he will of learned a lot in his spell abroad and could of picked up some coaching tips or sessions that he might use moving forwards

[burnley007]

I have not for 1 second throughout this process believed that Pace would actually hire Parker, I gave him too much respect to do something that stupid.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Scott Parker , Scott Minto , Scott Arfield or Scotty Scheffler whoever it ends up being I will back them regardless of wether I wanted them or not.

Whoever the main man is is becoming a custodian of Burnley football club , give them the support they need . UTC

[NewClaret]

I can definitely see the similarities.

We get a manager who none of the fans want. It will only end badly.

Underwhelming is one thing, but this guy is disliked by many. I have only heard bad stories about him as a person.

I still refuse to believe the Pace would be this naive.

I don’t see how it can’t be true with so many reporting it.

I think he’s really, really screwed this up. His lucks run out maybe.

[burnley007]

Great record.

https://www.skysports.com/football/news ... ott-parker

9-0.

Yes, they lost 9-0.

Seems like a great manager.
Parker Out

[123EasyasBFC]

What is it about Parker you are so against mate?

[wilks_bfc]

Next kept up with all this as you can leave for 20mins and it’s moved on 2 pages, but were Bellamy & Parker at Newcastle together?

Why?

That's just stupid. Like we should have no opinion on anything?? Parker is a disastrous choice, why should we support him?
Should we support Weghorst too?

[claretskeith]

We have 'fans' wanting him out before he's even in. I've not even had that with the wife.

[bobinho]

Out in force tonite I see…

[NewClaret]

https://breakingthelines.com/tactical-a ... l%20career.

Thats a nice goal tbf. Oddly enough very similar to patterns I’ve just been watching on a De Zerbi video.

[Rileybobs]

Next kept up with all this as you can leave for 20mins and it’s moved on 2 pages, but were Bellamy & Parker at Newcastle together?

They were at West Ham together.

[NewClaret]

They were at West Ham together.

What’s the suggestion here? They might work together?

[Hapag Lloyd]

Great record.

He also won at Anfield with Fulham

Your over reaction is one for the ages

[wilks_bfc]

They were at West Ham together.

Forgot CB was there tbh

[Rileybobs]

What’s the suggestion here? They might work together?

I wasn’t really making a suggestion. Just pointing out they played together at West Ham. Although it wouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility that Bellamy stays on if Parker is given the job.

[Vegas Claret]

Thats a nice goal tbf. Oddly enough very similar to patterns I’ve just been watching on a De Zerbi video.

Very much so, I'm far more happy with Parker than Lampard. We've had a season of utter bilge, time for some positivity from now on. Up the foooooooooking Clarets

[randomclaret2]

Take your pick from numerous shambolic PL performances under VK last season...

[ksrclaret]

That's an absolute rascal of a cardigan he was wearing in the 9-0 defeat to Liverpool.

I wonder what sort of cardigan he might wear for Luton away. Hopefully a bit more of a butch looking one. Maybe a cable knit with a shawl collar or something.

[onewillieirvine]

They may have overlapped at Newcastle as well.

[Silkyskills1]

As much as results didn’t go well, he will of learned a lot in his spell abroad and could of picked up some coaching tips or sessions that he might use moving forwards

What will he have learned from getting beat most weeks? He might have learned to ask for a coffee or beer in their language but absolutely nothing that is going to be of benefit to us, short term.or long term. A incredibly naive mistake of the worst kind.

[ElectroClaret]

Parker is a disastrous choice....

Why is Parker a disastrous choice?
