SouthStandUpperTier Posted 15 April 2022 Share Posted 15 April 2022 It's the 12 draws that Burnley have that are just as damning as the 4 wins. It's indicative of a manager that is happy not to lose rather than go for the win. Those clutching their pearls at this decision are no better than the sanctimonious numpties that were horrified when we dared sack Claudio. It's the timing of this sacking that is mystifying as it doesn't give the new manager much time to make an impact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been relegated and came back up and they choose now to part ways. Weird. Change of ownership last year has rocked what was seemingly a stable ship, Burnley have 10 players out of contract end of this season, the new owners don’t seem to want to part with any considerate amount of money having only put down a £15 million payment and have brought Burnley with the funds already in Burnley’s bank account, a £60 million loan secured against Burnley and the promise of future TV payments and player sales, The new owners also deferred a recent payment that should have gone to the previous owners of the club as part of the agreement of buying the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTY_FOX Posted 15 April 2022 Share Posted 15 April 2022 We of all fans shouldn't be moaning about a manager sacking at another club. We fell foul of the football World for making a necessary change. Burnley and their fans will know better than we do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywood_6 Posted 15 April 2022 Share Posted 15 April 2022 I would of liked to have seen Dyche given until the end of the season. He would of had a slim chance of getting out of it. I don't think there is a cat in hells chance they will survive now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
when_you're_smiling Posted 15 April 2022 Share Posted 15 April 2022 Would be quite funny if they turn into Guardiola’s Barcelona team all of a sudden and Josh Brownhill’s been Xavi and Weghoorst been Messi all along but we’re just told to play like clodhoppers. That group of players has been bought in to play the way they do. Can only think of Allardyce who’d even be a wise choice at this time to immediately get anything out of them. It’s the timing that’s ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and Wigan were a risky team who played to attack and win but were naive so lost lots of games, but they were a team who would play to win and could get crazy wins at times. Not a team who play to grind out 0-0s and must not lose who've scored in 1 of their last 6 games. Burnley were one of the worst teams I've seen us play this season, didn't create anything and we largely beat them in 2nd gear. Even against Norwich they set up not to lose rather than to win.

You might be right, but then it would also come down to when the change was made, because it would guess it's even rarer to have a run when changing the manager this late in the season.

Two out of five is quite a high percentage of those not changing manager managing to do it. It must be about 90% do change manager when down there, if not higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 15 April 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 15 April 2022 42 minutes ago, Corky said: Not his biggest admirer but a real shame a man who has done so much for a club just leaves one day, fairly unexpectedly, and fans can't give them a proper send off. I think this has done Dyche a massive favour. You could argue he's been there too long, he's taken them as far as he can. Sadly the owners aren't willing to push it a bit more to help him compete and he's also not long signed a new deal so he gets a decent pay off. If he bids his time, there'll be a decent PL gig come up next season at a team like Southampton, Palace, Brighton etc and he'll stand a chance of getting it. With a bit more clout behind him he may well do well, certainly deserves a chance over some of the usual cretins in the game. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceredigion Posted 15 April 2022 Share Posted 15 April 2022 To think we stuck with Frank McLintock throughout the 1977/78 season. And even when it was all over and we'd broken a clutch of unwanted ''fewest'' and ''lowest'' Division One records, his sacking still came as a surprise.
