AyrshireTon Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Been following their results because of Dyche, who Iike as a manager. I wish them nothing but a swift plummet through the leagues now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Well, It won’t be Steve Bruce, but I do wonder if they’ve lined up Allardyce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of ignorant nonsense! The British owned clubs are Brighton, Norwich, Tottenham and West Ham. Mike Ashley owned Newcastle at the time of the Burnley banner. Half the EPL managers were British two years ago - Steve Bruce, Sean Dyche, Roy Hodgson, Eddie Howe, Frank Lampard, David Moyes, Graham Potter, Brendan Rodgers, Dean Smith, and Chris Wilder. Of that list, only Bruce and Wilder were not EPL managers during the City-Liverpool game. ETA - Dyche, sadly, has now gone too. So the real idiot is you.

That was my immediate thought. Who else would take a short-term job? It was a surprise when Hodgson took over at Watford. With Dyche's coaching team going too, it's possible that someone has been lined up. Burnley couldn't afford Rafa Benitez and his big management team. How about Nuno Espirito Santo ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I thought Dyche would have been at Burnley until death. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Burnley are the most "Sam Allardyce" club ever. I'll be shocked if they don't appoint him.Dyche will end up at some other bottom half dross next season when they get in a bit of trouble. Probably Fulham once they come back up but are inevitably shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Anyway, Dyche would have been about the last manager most would expect to be sacked. Looked like a job for life. If they go down he’d probably have been best placed to bring them back up. Could be a very short-sighted decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) I can remember Burnley being a game away from relegation to the Conference in 1987, playing down in a crumbling, run-down dump of a stadium. Memories are short. They're a big big club historically; their survival made the 6 O'clock news that day. Sean Dyche comes across as a bit of knob (his weird drivel in post match interviews about top 3 clubs being "market leaders") but there's no denying he and Burnley have defied gravity for a long, long time. Chris Wood wasn't replaced well and results have been poor all season. So, it may seem harsh from the outside but most other managers with this kind of record this season would have been away long ago. Nuno Espirito Santo would be a very good shout for them but with only eight games left it's a big risk for him personally after his profile was damaged badly at Tottenham. Would expect a new man to be in place early next week. Edited: Michael Carrick & David Unsworth listed amongst frontrunners for the job alongside more predictable shouts for Fireman Sam & Nuno. Cheltenham boss (and ex Burnley legend) Michael Duff mentioned fondly by supporters but not a serious contender. Slaven Bilić "interested" Edited April 15, 2022 by Ivo den Bieman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 When I was younger I thought Sean Dyche created Burnley and named it after himself, like Arsene Wenger did with Arsenal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaven Bilić "interested" As an aside, in 1988 Luton town won the League Cup, and they've been relegated to the Conference since. Burnley's last major honour was 62 years ago. It could be argued that Huddersfield Town are a bigger club, having won the league title 3 times in a row and the FA Cup once. Although all those honours were nearly 100 years ago. I wouldn't class Burnley as a big, big club, they are certainly an historic football league club, but so are PNE, Notts County and Blackburn Rovers (who have won the title more recently than Burnley). But I suppose it's just opinions. I also remember Burnley being 1 game away from relegation from the football league, and was pleased to see them return to the top flight - and stay there - as I long thought their days as a top flight team were long gone, but a big, big club? Not for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 hence I qualified "big big club" with "historically". Clearly they haven't been for half a century at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
