  • That's a shocker 
  • Burnley are relegated then - Wont be surprised to see them drop even further now

    Although Allardyce is available?

    He wont be out of a job for long.
  • Personally thought we would leave at end of the season. His stock is too high to be back in the championship.

    His trajectory from here will be much better than Burnley's. Screw their new owners.

    Disgraceful. Dyche has previously proven his ability to get Burnley promoted back to the PL - numerous relegated clubs have failed to do so at the first attempt.

    Crazy. And why today, when they last played on Sunday and their next game is only in 2 days time.

    They're gambling on a new manager bounce to get them through those 4 points they have to make up. The problem is that Everton should prove to them that the new manager bounce isn't always a thing, and also that Burnley team is almost completely devoid of quality. They've covered for their deficiencies for years by being well-organised, tough to beat and having a clear game plan. Someone's going to have to come in and try and get Premier League level performances out of the likes of Matt Lowton, Josh Brownhill and Aaron Lennon and I just don't see it happening. It's a miracle Dyche has kept them up this long

    Who sanctioned the sale of their top scorer to a relegation rival.

    If they're looking for a new manager bounce they should get on the phone to Johnnie's agent.

    Wasn’t a release clause triggered?
  • I know you can never really tell what's going on with a club unless you're following it daily but that one seems madness to me. It's an 'all in' move gambling on a short term bounce which completely goes against the grain that's served them so well until now.

    Does Dyche play cricket?

    Asking on behalf of the ECB.

    It was yes, so technically they didn't sanction it because they had no choice.

    that was one transfer I just couldnt get my head around.

    If there was one manager to dig Burnley out of the hole, it was Dyche.  If there was one manager to bring them back up, it was Dyche.

    Their new owners came full of promises, they've spent very little money...goodness knows what they are thinking.

    Didn't like him after his comments about helping lesser clubs out during the lockdown. But wasnt expecting this.
  • He only signed a new 4 year deal in September so won't be cheap to get rid of.

    Clearly they feel after that miserable Norwich defeat that they're going down with Dyche, so this is a last throw of the dice to potentially save themselves. Why not sack him after that game though instead of waiting all week?

    You reap what you sow. If they go down and don’t get the next appointment spot on in the Championship, then just like us you won’t see them back in the Premier League for a considerable time 
  • "Under-23s coach Mike Jackson, assisted by academy director Paul Jenkins, Under-23s goalkeeping coach Connor King and club captain Ben Mee have been asked to take charge of the team for Sunday's game with West Ham United"

    At least they've got a good managerial plan in place then.......

    They’ll go down again next year

    My totally selfish thought is this might hasten Nick Pope’s departure for big money and we get a juicy slice.
  • They’ll go down again next year 
    Depends who they keep. I'd assume Pope, Tarkowski, McNeil and Cornet will leave, but if they reinvest some of that transfer money (big if looking at the owners lack of spending) then they've got enough good championship level players to do well next season and Vydra and Jay Rodriguez will score goals.
  • Absolute shoo-in for the job at the first struggling PL club to sack their manager next season.

    That is a mental decision, there isn't a single club in the championship that wouldn't take him as manager and I'm sure he will probably have 1 or 2 prem clubs knocking on his door

    Mental decision. Everton would have done well to pick him up if Fat Frank hadn't have rolled up at Goodison.
  • Just read that since the summer of 2017, Dyche had a net spend of only 21m!!

    The guy was a miracle worker.
