Only 12 days gone of it yet ;)

I know. We could stuff Arsenal twice in four days next week! (only joking before you all pile in.)

If it really is Brian Laws we cannot accuse him of making a sideways move. Off the dole has got to be an improvement. Well done Burnley! :lol:

By the way, how ###### is that Clarets Mad site as a piece of software? It feels like it's been thrown together by a couple of teenage IT programmers in the mid 1980's. Probably state-of-the-art for Nelson and Colne though.

Laws = Purely financial decision.

There's nothing in his record that matches the criteria set by the board (young and promising) or that indicates Prem quality. I assume they think fans will swallow it better due to his connection to the club.

Sky are even saying he wasn't first choice.

Sounds like they've already decided they're relegated and preparing for next season. I'm laughing my socks off, hilarious appointment.

Good. Now if we can only give another squad or two a small push in that direction I will feel much better.

I can't say Laws would be my first choice but equally I find attitudes on here somewhat blinkered - I think had we appointed Jose some would find something to point to it being a poor choice.

Lets get a few things clear - firstly the club have wanted Laws in the past so it is not entirely surprising. Sure things in the end didn't go to well at Wednesday, that could be said of all their recent managers. That club have never really adjusted to getting knocked out of the top flight. What is equally true is he did well at Scunthorpe. Is he a good appointment? Well with all appointments only time will tell but I have to say it will not inspire many fans.

As for the idea that we are 'preparing for relegation' - shock, horror, really? We have prepared for that since we won promotion - in the same way as people have said 'Pray for peace, prepare for war' we have tried to have a strategy that gave us half a shout at staying up but would leave us sound if we went down. No point coming into the premier league and being unrealistic, we haven't been and frankly of the 20 clubs in there we will be less damaged by relegation than any other, at least financially.

On the bright side we are half way through the season and half way towards our survival target and probably already 10 points better off than 80% of the posters on here thought we would be by the end of the season. Football is a funny old game and who's to say we won't yet surprise everybody.

(Still, Laws, mmmmm, I want to be positive, I really, really do. :wacko:

I've seen this posted on the Clarets Mad website, they are quite rightly changing their opinions on him after seeing him in action.

Brian Laws Showing Talent

I think you will all agree he's obviously amazing. Is it too late for us to sneak in there infront of Burnley and appoint him in light of the dressing room squabbles at Man City??!!??

Pretty good leap. Too late to sign him as our new 'keeper?
