The Managerial Merry Go Round™

[Jackie Broon]

Odd timing to sack him, they've got three matches coming up in the next 9 days which could seal their fate, how does that give any manager time to change anything?

[LV]

Step forward Bob Bradley

[NG32]

Madness. 

[Awaymag]

so they have sacked Dyche and all the 1st team coaches. Who is going to take them for the West Ham game.......its like they've decided to forfeit this next game?

[The Prophet]

Seems like they've left it a bit late. Big pressure for the new gaffer to hit the ground running.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

He’s been stopping them playing tiki taka all this time. 

[Kid Icarus]

What a completely crazy decision to make at this stage. 

[robbo_11]

If they go down they'll lose some of the better players for no fee and financially seem like a huge hit is coming with relegation. 

[Keggy_Keagal]

Disgusting from Burnley that . Fuck them . Hope Dyche bounces back he's an excellent manager. 

[Pixelphish]

If there's a timeline Rafa keeps them up at the expense of Everton, my penis is going to need medical intervention to reduce the swelling.

[r0cafella]

Out of interest what were the odds of him going prior to his sacking? 

[xLiaaamx]

If Rafa goes to an American leveraged buyout club then I'll be sure his "Principles" are bullshit tbh. 

 

It'll for once make me think he maybe went to China for the money rather than because if Ashley. 

[NG32]

Bog Sam walking into Burnley like a wrestler from the WWE.

[Superior Acuña]

First thought when I saw he’d gone (didn’t see sacked) was there’d been a big bust up - doesn’t seem like a cool rational decision

Eh?

 

He left newcastle on principle, he’s still entitle to take other jobs on any basis he likes. Weird take.

7/4ish.

[Dancing Brave]

Looks like a last throw of the dice from the Burnley owners.

 

[NG32]

Sinking like a Russian ship.

Why are those two things mutually exclusive? Ashley was a fat cunt and it was untenable for Rafa to trust anything he told him or promised.

 

Once that was determined, he was more than welcome to make bank wherever he wanted until a job in Europe interested him.

[Pilko]

Hope Dyche gets a chance somewhere half decent with a bit money to spend, he's done miracles with that shitpit of a squad.

[Smal]

I don't really get the outrage to be honest. They are really awful. They have some very winnable fixtures left but just put in a pathetic performance against Norwich and have 4 wins all season. Can't see Dyche getting them out of it at all. 

 

The main argument for keeping him would be that he'd stand a good chance of getting them promoted next season, but I've seen Burnley fans saying they expect him to leave if they're relegated so that might be pointless.

 

4 points behind Everton. A new manager bounce could save them. 

[geordie_b]

Should give it to Weghorst till the end of the season, loads on here saying he would keep them up now he has another chance

Because if an a leveraged buyout club interests anyone then there's not much football interest there. There's no project at Burnley. It's just debt loading to make money.

I'd say he's earned the right to try and keep them up.  They are a small football club punching well above their weight.

[NG32]

Who is buying them out?
