Its really not that bad, have only been in the same division about 5 seasons in the last 40 years We smashed them at home in 2010, Heskey scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 If I were a Burnley fan I wouldn't be expecting an automatic return given the owners (who borrowed money against the club to even buy them) are desperately trying to reduce the debt they have piled onto the club, the loan used to buy them was interest free whilst in the Premier league, now they have gone down they have to pay it back in one go which is more than the £49million in parachute payments they will get next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club who evoke a “what are they doing here? They never do anything*” unfashionable vibe? Fulham and to a lesser extent Bournemouth have the same vibe as Norwich and Watford, not quite the same “clogger” feel about them, plus they frequently don’t outstay their welcome. I’m asking this in the belief (hope) it’s not us. Southampton, maybe? For what it’s worth, similar to Hanoi above, I don’t mind having an unfashionable club or two in the league. Adds a bit of texture. * it’s open to interpretation what “anything” is. West Ham, they kicked us all over the pitch. As for Spurs labelling us, watch the last 10 minutes of our game with them, time wasting at every opportunity, unbelievable gamesmanship from them, fair play to em, stones and glass houses don't mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose by “clogger” I mean it in a wider sense than just the physical side of their play. When I see Burnley referred to as that, I feel like it’s also meant “…and what are they doing in this league? They don’t bring anything to it. Just plod along.” They’re “clogging up” the league by their very presence. Just the way I read it, anyway. So, in terms purely of the stature of the club, not their style of play, I can conceive of people one day considering Brentford to be like that. At the moment they have a lot of good will because people are enjoying their style of play, they have a pluckiness about them. But I can easily imagine a scenario where they’ve finished 10th-16th for a few years, and people start to have an “Urgh…Brentford” reaction to them. I think it’s fair to say we had that vibe before we were relegated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 They should have just appointed Jackson as permanent manager, he didnt do that bad for them and in the championship i think a manager like him would do better than Kompany. I dont know, i camt see that move working out, its a strange one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know, i camt see that move working out, its a strange one. It could benefit both parties. Kompany is still learning his trade and can continue to do so in the championship. He has done reasonably well at Anderlecht. Burnley can benefit from the ‘big name coach’, something we are currently experiencing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of their forward players will go for good championship money and they will have parachute payments so i expect them to make a good go of it and to be around the top 6 for the majority of the season. Vydra as always is immense in the championship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Watched him in the Euros. He was shite. Missed a sitter at VP with the Mings open goal.

His goalscoring record was pretty good in Bundesliga so he'll probably go back there to Frankfurt or someone like that. I get the feeling he wasn't very popular in Burnley's dressing room so they won't be sorry to see him go given Conor Roberts was getting in his face at final whistle basically saying he should've done that a bit more often for Burnley!

KAZZAM Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I really do hope Burnley don't yoyo back up to the Premier league. Too many claret and blue clubs as there is And I feel Burnley really did try to steal our identity when we got relegated. Don't want them back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Quote Burnley have appointed former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany as manager. The Belgian, 36, was in charge at Anderlecht for two years before leaving by mutual consent in May, having led them to third the Belgian top flight. Burnley sacked Sean Dyche in April and replaced him with interim boss Mike Jackson, who was unable to prevent relegation from the Premier League. "I'm excited by the challenge ahead," Kompany said. "Burnley Football Club is a truly historic English side and it is an honour to be appointed first-team manager. "I've been impressed by the board's vision for the club which aligns with my own and I look forward to playing my part as we enter an important season."

PaulC Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I think they will get a different style of football under Kompany. There will be a massive rebuild at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
