Sean Dyche is easily the best thing to have happened to Burnley in the 40 odd years that I've been alive, he's a very good manager in his prime and he loves the Club! He's most clubs dream manager. 

Had he been given time and funds for a bit of a squad rebuild over the next couple of seasons he'd have them firmly fixed in the prem again. 

 

To replace him with the ultimate mercanary, dinosaur, Allardyce is the cherry on the cake 🎂 

Allardyce would probably get them back up. I wish we had Allardyce right now.

If we're making wishes then please let them sign up Steve Kean. Plenty of PL experience.

I’ve seen him knocking about in Whalley and Clitheroe a bit, think him and Ian Woan Shared a flat somewhere nearby.

Dyche lives in a village somewhere around Northampton...

I think Burnley , own a house on Brockhall

West Ham are owned (or at least funded) by a man worth nearly 6 billion USD. I don’t know how much Venkys are worth - nobody seems to - but one thing is for sure they don’t put money in like (potentially the funniest name in football) Kretinsky. 

Leicester’s owner is worth 3 billion USD and again funds the club like money doesn’t matter. 

Burnley qualified for Europe and it very nearly relegated them because they couldn’t compete in so many competitions because they couldn’t afford to buy the amount of quality players needed. 

Of course I’m not happy we’ve fallen out of the playoffs and of course I’d rather not be in League zone - although I LOVED) being the best team in the league. And yes I agree it would be financially extremely good news for the club to get promoted. But that doesn’t change the reality - apart from a spectacular one off event, Rovers (and Burnley) will never compete in the top half of the Premier League again. Unless of course a Super League is created and all the top clubs leave. It’s just not financially possible without a local multi billionaire that truly loves the club. Unfortunately, the EG boys don’t really like football and if they had to pick, they are United fans… 

And in reality, what do we really want? Get promoted, Venkys sell up, some Middle Eastern investment group use Rovers as a vehicle for sports washing to try and advertise Saudi Arabia to the masses as a luxury heaven, when in reality they’re killing people because of their sexual preferences and restricting womens rights? Honestly, I’d rather be League One Blackburn Rovers, owned by the fans, challenging at the top of the league, developing our own young players to be sold on, investing in the local area and giving an opportunity for work, hope and inspiration to the Town. 

I haven’t yet seen a season since we where relegated where we looked like a Championship promotion winning side. Without saying I told you so, this season has been one of the most frustrating in a long time because I could see this shambles coming weeks… no, months, ago. We’re not going up because the club doesn’t behave like a promotion winning club. And that’s not going to change whilst Venkys are here because they don’t know what they’re doing and/or don’t care. So as far as I’m concerned… admin doesn’t sound too shabby at all. We’ll get relegated. We’ll lose our training ground. The ground is worthless. Then we can start again. Someone will buy us. And at this stage, that feels inevitable. So bring it on. It will give us something to rally around, rather than a hugely fractured fan base where 50% of the support don’t know any better and 50% are pulling their hair out because they do know better, an ownership that have no idea what to do to turn it around and a management team that are happy to bumble long making no progress, treading water on a slow but inevitable scaling back operation. 

Excellent. 

Just one amendment to be made, over the last 7 years the Saudi government have been responsible for the deaths of nearly 400000 people, many of which were children. They have casused the biggest humanitarian crisis on earth right now and are still carpet bombing civilians indiscriminately as well as blockading the main port into Yemen preventing much needed humanitarian aid such as food and medical supplies from entering the country.

But hey, they are fit and proper I suppose.

They can get Allardyce in all they want but it won't do any good he's lost his touch now.

As for Simon Jordan he's been warning about the impending doom at Bumley due to the financial arrangements every since it was signed and sealed. Normally he's a bit of a dick especially when he switches to boxing but one thing he is an expert on is football finance.

Hook it into my veins!

Can't wait for them to go bust.

‘Dyche, whose £7 million-a-season contract with Burnley was due to run until 2025, was the Premier League’s longest-serving manager. The assistant manager Ian Woan, the first-team coach Steve Stone and the goalkeeping coach Billy Mercer have also left.’

Well there’s a big chunk of the first year of parachutes accounted for.

[davulsukur]

Any early favourites for the Dingles job at the moment?

£7 million a season contract ? Surely not, that can’t be right.

[Mattyblue]

Definitely right, the club realised that he was the whole reason they were on the gravy train and paid him accordingly, he received a cut of player sales too, I believe…

Yes it is, they had to keep him somehow after making such a poor impression.

I actually like Solskjaer 🤷‍♂️ and would be happy to have him here (not expecting many to agree though 😄 but i really don't know why not)

I’d have to think long and hard about a choice of Solksjaer or Mowbray.

[arbitro]

There is some suggestion in an article in The Athletic that Dyche's popularity had waned and his training methods were not to the liking of several senior players. And on one of their message boards quite a few are saying that behind the scenes he wasn't too popular with the non football staff being described as rude to them.

I still can't believe the timing of this and the fact he recently signed a new, bumper deal along with his staff.

Have you heard anything longsiders?

No reason anyone should know this but where does dyche live? Can’t see him thinking Burnley is the place to be. But did he settle somewhere locally or commute like moggadon. 

 Northampton…surely nailed on to go back to Watford  🤔

Can't see anything to laugh at here tbh. Allardyce would do the job. Can't see him or anyone else saving them from relegation this season but I could see him taking them back up in his first season.

I wish we had either of them.

It appears that Dingles don't have anyone line up before the sacked him which is a massive mistake by their hierarchy.  Its appears they want Allardyce to come in and save them. Not sure he will come back but I have seen Talksport reported that Bilic is interested in the job there.

I think that is excellent suggestion or someone like WBA or QPR. 

 

[matt83]

Before potting dyche I thought they had a decent chance of staying up.

Dingles have West Ham, Southampton, wolves, Watford, villa, spurs, villa again, Newcastle. All things are relative at the bottom but there’s plenty of points to be had there. Everton have Leicester, Liverpool, Chelsea, Leicester again, Watford, Brentford, palace, Arsenal. Not much for them but suppose would have said there was nothing for them vs Man U. 

[Mattyblue]

They’ll have played two of their fast running out games by Thursday night, crackers to sack someone of Dyche’s stature (who had just beaten their biggest relegation rival, by the way, and have a fair few winnable home games coming up) if there was nobody being parachuted straight in and you are relying on youth coaches short term…

I can see that. Portrays the down to earth image, but could see him being a right grumpy git with little time for lower level underlings. 

He does come across as quite arrogant sometimes, considering his standing in the football industry.

I suppose there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance though.

Allardyce has nothing left to offer football and practically retired years ago but still pops up when he gets sniff of a big payday. 

 

I find it very funny/ironic that our fiercest rivals are close to becoming a freakshow, they spent the last 10 years bathing in our misfortunes!!
