It sounds like there’s been a massive clear out behind the scenes at Burnley. The guy who was chief exec at my rugby league club was a Burnley fan and a few years ago he left to take up a job there on the commercial side. His dream job apparently. I hadn’t seen him since he left our club but recently he’s rocked up at Rochdale AFC, again in some sort of commercial role. Next time I see him I’ll ask him about the goings on at the dingledome.

Here are people who have left them since the new owners came in and it include people like MIke Rigg and Burnley chief scout Martin Hodge.

Also Dyche is still in talks over his payoff he will received from there.

Without question, it's a massive gamble getting rid of Dyche. 

It's not all over yet, though. There's plenty of points left to play for and they're only 4 behind Everton with 8 to play.

Someone could come in, fancy the challenge, and perfrom a miracle. Who knows?

I'll only be getting the jelly out when relegation is a done deal...

Yes it's a massive gamble but it appears that behind the scenes things weren't as well people think.

As for Dyche's replacement, I still expect a Foreign manager who has no experience of Premier League to be appoint there. I think their owners will have agents after agents contacting them suggesting this manager and that manager.

A thread about Burnley taking top spot on a Rovers MB..times are bad folks!

No no no. Where Burnley is concerned, times are...

Looking down their team they seem to be going for it. More attacking players in the line up.

Spoke to a couple of mates who are there - said it looked bad based on player reactions. Said one of our players vomited when they saw it.

If it’s that bad I don’t think he’ll be needing a physio for a while. Let’s hope it looks worse than it is.  I don’t like to see a player stretchered off. I had two rides on the stretcher myself. It’s not a nice experience.

He’s doing his best to keep them in it at the moment. When you’re talking keepers a good big ‘un is always better than  an average sized keeper.

Which pope was it that actually played in goal ? Was it the Polish guy ?

Yes…👍🏻

well they do need divine intervention

2 decent home games in 7 days coming up for Burnley. This is far from a forgone conclusion.

Mr. Sheen?

[LDRover]

Got to say their appointment of Michael Jackson seems a bit off the wall. I believe the first game was a thriller though but the injury to Westwood looked bad.

Be interesting if he starts picking the kids

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

LeSaux had an injury similar to that and he recovered so well he shat on us and buggered off when he was match fit again.

Both games are do able. But looking at the stats Burnley are going to need more shots on goal. Was it just 1 today ? I honestly thought they might do well at West Ham. It was a really good time to play the Hammers, they haven’t got the squad size to be playing the number of big games they have recently. They’re picking up injuries. Something has to give.

I remember reading somewhere that Le Saux felt aggrieved at how the club treated him when he suffered that injury. He felt the manager, coaches etc just left him to get on with his recovery without showing him enough care and attention.

I think he said he held a grudge for a long time because of it, but he's over it now.

Whenever I hear Le Saux's name I remember two things. The fight with Batty in Moscow and the long range goal that went in off the bar against Forest at Ewood.

If Burnley stay up, they'll see the £15m as money well spent.

I remember both those incidents. I was at the Forest game. He did his ankle against  ‘ Boro. He had the ball and he was trying to get away from Juninho. Juninho grabbed his arm and tried to spin him around. LeSaux’s body moved but his foot was stuck in the turf. He was facing one way and his foot was at 90 degrees to the rest of him ! It wasn’t much of a foul and it wasn’t a deliberate attempt to injure LeSaux.

Going from memory I’d say he was out about 12 months after that.

I can’t honestly believe a top level club would neglect the treatment of one of it’s prize assets to be honest but if that’s what he wants to say who am I to contradict him.
