WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Feel like they've panicked. If they weren't sure he'd keep them up, he should've gone a month ago. Also, if they were to drop, he's as good as anyone to get them back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Mental decision but probably highlights the precarious financial position they face. With 8 games left it’s not impossible but highly unlikely. West Ham (a) - ? Nothing here Southampton (h) - ? Not in great form Wolves (h) - ? - mixed form Watford (a) - ? Equally poor Villa (h) - ? Mixed form Spurs (a) - ? Nothing here Villa (a) - ? Mixed form Us (h) - ? Depends on what we’re playing for. Maximum 7-10 points… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximum 7-10 points… There's some very winnable games there, against teams down at the bottom, or with not much left to play for. I thought they were unlucky against Norwich. It's not over for them yet, and I find this a strange decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) I know questions have been asked over their new ownership but I wouldnt expect them to sack him now. Who are they going to get? Allardyce? Edited April 15, 2022 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) Genuinely shocked. Had them down for way more points than Everton which has to have some basis. Initial reaction would normally be a change would shake things up but not here. Likely he would have brought them back up if the worst did happen and they've done that before haven't they? that would be a major unknown now.

Nucasol Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I think people will be shocked in the run in about how many points both Burnley and Everton will get. Prime post for a bookmark and “that aged well” but Burnley play West Ham and teams heading for the beach and Everton play Leicester twice at a time they’ll only be arsed about the Europa League.

Aye but players in those squads are playing for their starting positions in the European games so can't afford for their levels to drop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Got to admit I think Burnley have at times been one of the better of those long ball teams with a bad reputation. There were one or two seasons when they'd just come up that I thought they played decent football whenever I watched them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Yep basically same way Man U was bought, they have huge money making ability though Burnley do not. Basically classic vulture capitalism, come in buy something now it's going to go down and they will leave it with profits sucked out in a pile of debt. Fit and proper is a joke always has been Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fit and proper is a joke always has been I sort of get doing it with the mackems, because they’re at quite a low point and have the opportunity to rise and flip a profit. But why would you try this with Burnley? They’re realistically only going to go down. If you’re not going to pump money into them, they’ve got no chance of improving where they are and making a profit for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 The owners and directors' test (and FFP for that matter) was supposed to have one main point - to stop clubs going bust. Yet this leveraged buyout was approved seemingly in days, whilst one of the richest organisations on the planet was held up for nearly 2 years. If you're a Burnley fan, I think you'd have a few hard questions of the PL right now. Because if they get relegated, do these owners have the funds and/or competence to bring them back up?

When I totted the points up a month or two back I had Burnley for 13points + and Everton 6 - now 8 with the Man United result so have to stick to that and agree, at least on Burnley. Its the feel of the Achillies Paradox about it though because Brentford, Leeds and ourselves are in better form and liable even just by law of averages to extend their points beyond Burnley's and probably Everton's reach.
