Hope the manager search is tied up by the end of May.

Fucking numbskulls.

Now I want him as our manager.

That attitude has served us no good. Did you see the side Pep picked for the home game against Bristol City despite it being a Champions League week.

if we’re not good enough to rotate and win - and we definitely haven’t been then there are two solutions

1. don’t rotate
2. Build a squad good enough to rotate and win

We’ve done neither and this are potless

Or 3. be fucking HONEST with the fans and make it clear that our strategy is to focus on League and CL and that the domestic cups will be used as a priority/opportunity to blood youth players. At least that is a clear strategy. If they then priced those matches accordingly (like £15 for an adult and kid for a quid) then I think many fans could get behind it. Its the continued mugging off of fans that grates imo.

If Kompany is a leading contender then we are thinking in the right direction.

He is exactly the type of person and character we need and he plays the style of football we want.

He’s transformed Burnley in no time at all.

Id be all for this gamble if we couldn’t get Nagglesman, ONLY if Kompany was committed to a long term project with us and not as a stepping stone to the City job.

Disagree. He's a rookie with a mixed record as a manager thus far. Did relatively poorly with Anderlecht, doing really well with Burnley in the CHAMPIONSHIP. Many managers can give inspirational speeches but at a time where Nagelsmann, Slot, Poch, Gallardo, Enrique are all available and Schmidt, De Zerbi and Amorim are gettable, we'd be barmy to take a punt on Kompany or Carrick imo.

Moreover, there is no way one can stop a manager "using us as a stepping stone"...even if we put in a huge release clause.

We can do better.

I'm not sure there is anything to be had from his time at Burnley as we are a different challenge.

So underwhelming and can see him putting up with Levy bullshit and not challenging him like Conte.

Remember the last time we had one of these threads (actually, it was only about 18 months ago) and we all got excited as we hit the 1,000 page mark for comments, but still had no manager?

I think history might repeat itself.

All fair points and I’d prefer all the names you mentioned just not sure how gettable most of them are so Kompany would be a next best

Agreed. I’d prefer someone with a bit more genuine experience.

Burnley could well be doing well in the championship because they have a predominantly Prem experienced squad.

The likes of Slot have, IMO, proven a lot more

when the Sun reports kovac turns us down it’s bollocks.

when they report something some of you want to believe it’s all of a sudden a credible read? Hmmm

I’m selling some new, extra tall magic beans. Who wants?

Positive news true, negative news false. Get with the program buddy.
Now about those beans...

I don't know about that buddy. I used to think the same as you having not done any research, but after being linked, I read about his time in Anderlecht. It wasn't bad.
He took a club under massive financial pressure, and made them somewhat competitive. They were worse before he came, and after he left.
Not saying he's the right man, does anyone actually watch Burnley, but I'm warming to the dude.

Isn’t that maybe a sign that the social media pity party is getting a little over-the-top?

Yup , the media love a fuck-up story and an alarming number on here are swallowing this clickbait narrative.

All this bull about 'I only care that we play good football' we see here. I call bullshit...If 6-7 defeats playing attacking footie occurred these types would be raging for a new manager. We want to win matches essentially.

So Conte raged about the club...sheesh a few insults here and there go right by me. The true offence committed by Conte for me was his dated rigidity. Happy he's gone. BUT he's done OK. He's forced Levy to buy players...for various reasons all haven't shone yet but will. We got 4th from a v difficult position. and now we are 4th (temporarily) again. This is an improvement. Crisis is those in relegation peril we don't have a fucking crisis.

Fuck..so what that Paratici made a statement and next day his ban came in. Ali Gold going apeshit wtf ? who cares ?....until recently Gold was raging that Paratici doesn't do enough communication via media ffs !

Old guys chime in here about how great it was last century and they cared back then.....Last League victory was '61...yes a few cup competitions. We've been close in the last 10 years, but hey, cups are like that. The club is still here. Get behind it .

We have good players, just a couple more additions could turn it into challengers. I'll run through them for removal of doubt for the frail of mind . Romero, Porro, Biss, Bents, Skipp, new Emerson, Son (back on form) Sarr, Udogie, Kulusevski.PEH has his moments, Richie may come good...then Kane's replacement bought with the 100 mill of his sale..or the man himself.

So Paratici got banned...thats just bad luck, he brought in a good few excellent players. We'll just go out and get another excellent DoF...no big deal. Well done Fabio..but ya gotta go sadly.

Yes we have a Chairman who only needs top 4. Conte has brought extra pressure on him happily. Levy will buy in the summer no matter who is managing.

Its been great fun wringing your hands and wailing about what a terrible club we are and that no manager with any class would come. But we play Monday and I for one will be rooting for the new management, I'm excited to see who plays and how we set up after poor, dated, over rigid management...which still managed to keep us near the top.

Fucking crisis ? Stop swallowing whole the media going about their business and generating clicks. Its their job .

TheVoiceofReason · Mar 31, 2023

Kompany is not a smart choice. Way to fresh out the PL, he has much more clout going into the the Anderlecht or Burnley dressing room than ours, where he’ll be expected to objectively lead an assortment of former colleagues he has played against recently, and likely socialised with before. It just won’t work, there will be favouritism and resentment from the start.

Most of the opinions carried by a lot of fans on social media (not SC) is just regurgitated media BS.

Twitter is where cognitive ability goes to die.

Yeah don't get the appeal personally, he's still way too raw IMO.

Even if he ends up good he'll be off to City

We need someone for the long haul.

TBF if anyone comes good, they still may be off to City. I'd take that if someone came good too, as we haven't had a manager get results that would be good enough for City in a while now.
