Yes every team have individual errors but we seem to have had more than most that have really cost us. Just imagine if Engels hadn’t had slipped in the final seconds against Spurs and we got that point for example, we would now be outside the relegation zone. You could say that about any team over the season though , if the ref had seen the Sheffield Utd goal we’d have lost another point - it’s all swings and roundabouts , after 31 games we deserve to be where we are - all we can hope is for a strong finish to the season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Smith was on the verge of getting the sack before lockdown, if we're relegated he will be gone, and he might go even if we survive. If we bring in a new Director of Football that would probably also make it more likely that Smith would leave as the new DOF would probably want bring in his own Head Coach.

The reason being he’s probably the best chance we have of getting back up whereas if we stay up the board might feel he gets another chance or they may want to really go for it, get rid of Smith and get a manager of note.

Talk about going backwards How can you call dyche going backwards whilst defending smith constantly , he has established A much smaller club in Burnley as a mid table And also got them to Europe . smith has floundered like a fish out of water at this level and looks totally devoid of ideas . granted dyche was given time to get Burnley up again but I see nothing in smith to suggest he would ever manage in the premiership again , he’s been found out .

useless Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Also Purslow did an interview the other day he talked about the bad run we were on but was basically saying that the lockdown has done us a favor and allowed us to restock and rethink things, he was pretty much saying that we've been given a lifeline and was expecting an improvement. I'd be incredibly suprised if he kept his job if we go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Swapping Smith for Dyche would see us going around in circles, need to think longer term than a manager that will just keep us up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's absolutely not what I'm hearing. Barring a run of 8-0 defeats - Smith starts next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe what purslow thinks , but if Eden’s and nas decide to act then they will do so - things change very fast in football when results are bad , who would have ever thought levy would sack poch so soon after warding clubs off with a new contract - managers are judged on results and Eden’s in particular is very much not afraid to fire coaches who’ve failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
