[Archived] Sacked!

[SharrockDownSouth]

I'm with Jordan, they've already had Waddle, why not give the other half of that lyrical duo a shot at sending them into administration!

[Dr Rich]

This is brilliant news, sack a manager who's done an outstanding job in getting a third division standard club into the first division. Burnley in freefall for the next few years.

[bob fleming]

I'm with Trooper on this one - they need to get Johnny Bond back to finish what he started.

I think it's great news. I can't see who they're going to get in who will do as well as Stan. He's done very well with loan signings and no cash. Whoever it is they won't look as good in leggings.

Oh well.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Poor 'owd Bumley..its all falling apart at the seams!!!!!

[Nuclearsox]

Whoever it is they won't look as good in leggings.   

Unless they get that guy with the Tron costume.... ....SuperStella was it?.... ....I reckon he could do a job in football management - and he could design them a snazzy kit too.

[Ninjathunder]

Stanleh really should have seen this coming. After all he was advised by the more knowledgeable Rovers fans on 01/04/2000 "Resign, you might as well resign"

I think you mean 2001. A hilarious moment that will live with me forever.

[Ninjathunder]

A song for Tottenham.

Ternant - Wheres your job?

Ternant Ternant - Wheres your job?

What about Glenda for Burnley?

....I think 'Pleat for Burnley' will hurt them more!

To the contrary, I think most Spurs fans would welcome that.

[The Producer]

If by some horrendous twist of fate I ended up at Burnley, I'd be over the moon to be sacked. Probably the best day of Stanleh's life!

Whoops, just testing!

That chant was superb, as was "Are you Burnley in disguise?"

[Billy Castell]

I want to be manager, just so I can sell Blake and Chaplow, and then play proper long ball nonsense with Alan Wright as a lone striker, and a central midfield of Poyet, and some other slow, knackered player on high wages. Then I'll be a bigger Rovers hero than that John Bond guy.

[philipl]

He's not been fired- just not getting an extension to his contract.

Odds on a player-manager will be appointed to save on costs. So any suggestions of over the hill big name pros with an ambition in management?

Pity Chris Waddle is too old...

[Finch]

"Cheerio, cheerio, cheerio"

Adios Stanleh, you were good for a laff.

[Billy Castell]

1. Paul Gascoine (surely not)

2. Paul Ince

3. Andy Payton

4. Martin Keown

[Alan75]

Who said Stan had been sacked ?

LET last week.

"It is no secret I want Stan to remain in charge and we have already held various meetings," Kilby told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

Did Stan see the light, maybe he wants to get back in to football in some capacity.

[RevidgeBlue]

There could be a bit more entertainment value in this story yet.

Stanleh is quoted in the LET as saying that he didn't want to leave and that he will make a full statement after Sunday's game.

[Sydney Rovers]

Come on it's simple, Stan's just waiting for Spurs to give him the managing job.

[The Harwood Yankee]

I liked the comment by Stan's biographer (Sunday Sport editor!) that Turd Moor was like Tower Circus when Stan arrived. It still is, isn't it? Full of clowns & smelling of animal dung...

[USABlue]

Never really cared for ternent but credit where it is due I think he did a great job (sadly) at the clarrots as long as the board were able to back him with enough players to do a job.

It really started going downhill for him once they had only bare bones, and he did not really have a big enough squad. Not sure there is anybody could have done any better than him with what he had to work with. Hope he lands on his feet though and Burnley, thinking of their coffers, return to plumb the depths of the 80's and 90's. So who's the favourite to take over that pile of crap, their reserve team manager? Ronnie Moore? who.

[Radagast]

Ronnie Moore, only in their wildest dreams. Seriously, though, he is very underrated as a manager. Bit like Stanleh, I suppose. Crazy Dingles.

[MCMC1875]

How about Jim Iley?

[super_neill]

HAHA Ternant unlucky

[Exiled_Rover]

I've always thought Stan was a good manager, Burnley don't know what they're doing!

[SAS]

he did a miracle keeping them up!

[Hanks]

kilby must be off his head, ternant has worked wonders to keep them in the 1st and has taken pay cuts in the past to help the financial situation, he is burnley through and through. it could go bad for them next season and i just hope kilby gets his comeuppence and i get a good price at ladbrokes on them taking a drop.
