The Managerial Merry Go Round™

[Tiresias]

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

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.

Chelsea will be the same when they get bought I'm sure.

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?

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.

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.

I think you're missing the point, you buy a club with the clubs own money and put them into debt doing so, you take as much money out of the club as possible, the club implodes and then you pull out leave them in administration and through complex legal fuckery you depart enriched some point. You keep them in premier league for more money to rake in thats great but it's not like they give a shit about it.

No English club should be foreign owned, if so, fans get a 51% share which should be the case full stop.

Simply crazy. Unless they have an absolutely inspired appointment they are down. Players will be despondent and won't react to a charlatan like allardyce. Certainly not quickly enough with 8 games left. 

[rickyprickles]

That’s the Burnley way.

 

Gravel.

Imagine if they got Rafa on a short term contract and he kept them up and sent Everton down..

 

..if Carlsberg did..

Well that seems a bit harsh. I can't stand Dyche personally, but he did a decent enough job for a lesser club who are always going to struggle at this level. I suppose if you were a fan you might prefer to watch better football, even at a lower level.

[Mattoon]

Seems reactionary and far too late in the season to make a difference, I think Dyche was their best bet at staying up. They are where they are due to their players, not their manager.

[Stifler]

Be funny as fuck if they announce a manager who gives them a bounce and keeps them up and sends Everton down.
