Burnley Thread - 2021/22

[Bonzo Nododo]

Regardless of what you think of the man or his tactics, he absolutely deserves another top flight job based on what he's achieved at Burnley, and he'll get plenty of offers.

A couple of weeks ago perhaps when City played it was said thst he wanted to leave at the end of this season although his contract does not expire. Being sacked with compo would seem better for him and a new club won't have to pay compo to Burley either.

That's the end of Burnley for the next ten years. Idiotic decision imo. Burnley were dyche, as much as utd were saf.

 

[andyhinch]

I’m looking forward to a pint in fat Sam’s ale house next time we play them.

 

[Sky Blue]

Perfect fit for the red shite. Play shit football, wouldn't have to move house, got ginger hair so looks a bit Scottish which Ferguson will like. Also, moans like fuck. Would be seamless......... "Welcome our new manager Sean Dyche" ....

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Weird timing and weird decision, in my opinion. Doubt you are going to get any meaningful "new manager bounce" and no one will know this group of players better.

 

[jimharri]

Shocked at that, to be honest. Yes, they're struggling this season. And yes, their footballing style isn't a great advert for "the beautiful game"™. But you play to your squad's strength. Burnley don't have the talent available to the top 6 (7th, maybe), and he's done as much for that club as anyone can reasonably expect to do. Who's going to go in there and turn it around and keep them up; Allardyce, possibly?

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
You’re going down Burn-leyyy
Que sera, sera….

I am wondering when journalists are going to start asking where all the money has gone? Ever since they got taken over by Americans, they've struggled to even keep the shite brexit championship squad they had, yet alone buy anyone new. They've been getting hundreds of millions across a long time in the PL, yet that squad shows no sign of it. So where did it all go?

What Burnley need is a foreign manager.

Who was the last Englishman to win the Premiership title as the Manager. I think it was Howard Wilkinson at Leeds in the early nineties.

30 years ago.

English managers are not very good at all. They are, by and large, pretty rubbish at winning titles compared to Italian Managers, German Managers, Dutch Managers, Spanish Managers and even Portuguese Managers.

When there are as many English managers in the TOP jobs consistently then you might have a point. Both the rags and the Tarquins mopped up in the early years with long standing non English managers.

Spurs won nowt
Bin dippers one title in 30 years
West Ham?
Arsenal after Wenger?

How many English managers have managed either the rags or the tarquins? You could turn your statement around and even suggest that foreign managers have habitually failed in big jobs in the premiership by failing to win it.

 

[pudge]

He certainly deserves another shot at a Premier League team ahead of blaggers like Lampard and Gerrard who get gigs for fuck all.

Weird time to sack him, in my opinion. They've, what, 7/8 games left? What's a new manager going to do that he couldn't at this point?

 

[roman totale]

End of an era.

 

[crazyg]

 

[Stelea]

Some sort of bust up / reaction after a great result v Everton and then to piss it way at Norwich, plus Everton and Leeds winning.

 

[Bonzo Nododo]

One of the 'Hateful Nine' down, eight to go.

I suspect the promoted clubs will get 'a word in the ear.'

 

[FantasyIreland]

Initially my reaction was 'what a fucking mad decision'

However....as it stood,they were going down,so a change of manager might provide an outside chance of keeping them up and at the very least it will give someone opportunity to assess what he has,and what he needs,for next season,whatever league they are in.

Dyche has been superb for that club and the Town though,they owe him big time.

That's a good point. It's something like 91 million if you finish bottom so what are they spending it on? This is a very poor Burnley side but I don't see an available manager out there who will do a better job. You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

Who is the best English manager of the last 20 years?

 

[Keeper!]

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Wonder if the landlord of The Royal Dyche is planning another name change.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Burnley defeated by too many of "them" teams with "these" players owned by "those" owners.
