Can you sack a manager at half time ?

[ClaretsPadiham]

He has to go ….

The players aren’t showing any fight, players out of position, awful defending, never learn from our mistakes. He doesn’t see what the average fan can see and realise which players aren’t up to it.

If Vitinho was called James Smith he would be playing for Accrington.

Trafford is bobbins.

Brownhill is never a captain, never hear him.

VK enough is enough wasted over 100 million on garbage…. Someone has to be responsible and take the blame.

Do the right thing Alan and atleast we can hope for a new manager bounce.

I’d even consider Michael Jackson untill the end of the season it nearly worked last time, anything is better than this.

One of the worst seasons I can remember just relegate us now.

The fans are turning and have had enough.

KOMPANY OUT !

[South West Claret.]

Well there’s always a first time.

[ClaretsPadiham]

Proves it all he makes a defensive change when what we need is goals.

Guys clueless he should be making 3 attacking changes after that first half.

[BobSykes]

Sack him now, sack him today.

Then the new man can hopefully work out what we need to do this summer to compete in the Championship again because sure as dammit we're heading for League 1 if Kompany is masterminding our prep this summer.

Do it Alan. Start Project v2 today.

[TsarBomba]

I’d give him 10 games into next season, and re-evaluate.

But it’s worrying that he doesn’t seem to learn/adapt.

Signed Fofana who made a different against City, then benches him for players who have been stinking all season.

Bet he regrets joining us already.

I'm fine now with writing off this season, but let's not write off next season too. Giving him the reins this summer and for a quarter of next season is a recipe for further catastrophe

[SGr]

You’ve gotta understand that Benson is struggling this season. He just isn’t at the level.*

*yeah I know we haven’t played him at all and I know Aaron Ramsey is clearly rubbish and JBG is 300 years old and maybe you even think you remember Benson doing a couple of things last year BUT just trust the process.

[Cooclaret]

Think this question works for the bloke up at St James too!

[Cooclaret]

Wonder if those posters who made this board horrendous for those of us who called for Kompany out months ago might apologise now?

Or will they continue to bury their heads in the sand?

Fofana might save his bacon today but you’re right, we’ve been absolutely pathetic this year.

Only reason he is still here is because of that stupid big contract extension given to him early pre season. Hopefully Alan has learnt his lesson now with big contract renewals.

[Shaggy]

Now doubt Newclaret, Nori and Claretonthecoast will be here tomorrow to tell us how we are all idiots and we should support the club

Claretonthecoast, the ultimate keyboard warrior.

[StayingDown4Ever]

Those deluded creatures will never apologise to us. They will still be trusting the process when we are playing in League One with this guy running things.

[Cooclaret]

Now doubt Newclaret, Nori and Claretonthecoast will be here tomorrow to tell us how we are all idiots and we should support the club

Few more than those…

[ClaretsPadiham]

Fofana should have started, he did more against City than these pretenders have all season.

Odebert is the weakest player iv ever seen I’d fancy a 16 year to old to shoulder barge him off the ball. No joke.

[ClaretsPadiham]

Where’s this 100 million pound player ?

We should have sacked him after he come out with that stupid remark ….

The whole team combined aren’t even worth 100 million even though he’s spent more than that in one window.

Guys an imposter, he’s needs to go ….

[ClaretsPadiham]

What a chance wasted for 3 points, wrong team selection and an awful first half.

Only postive is Fofana but he will probably start on the bench again next game

[BobSykes]

I'm more annoyed with Klueless now after the comeback than at 0-2 . We've shown we could have won that, as with various other earlier games, and getting 1 point which does nothing for us is not one ounce of consolation.

Bin him. Now. Today.

No, posters like you have made this board and this season horrendous for a large majority of Burnley fans. Be angry at the performance, be angry at the manager but to want him out is utter buffoonery.

[Cooclaret]

Think you’re on the wrong thread here. Have you read the board today? The tides turned…

He might well learn his trade and come back and be a good manager, right now, he’s a rank apprentice trying to mix it in the professionals in the best league in the world. He’s been found out, he’s constantly made the wrong choices in tactics. His in game management is woeful.

I’m not angry, it’s past that. It’s a shame we can’t SIM the rest of the season and pop back in when we’re back in the Championship.

File under Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney, etc…

The tides turned 3 or 4 melons posting absolute nonsense does not constitute the tide turning.

[JimmyRobbo]

Make your mind up. Did he get the team wrong and make good in-game changes or get the team right from the off?

You know we were losing 2-0 until his "in game" changes.

Pulled it back?

Must win game and we didn’t win.

[JimmyRobbo]

Chris Wilder?

To think someone, on the match thread, suggested we'd have more chance with him in charge!

[wilks_bfc]

We might find out from Sheffield in around 15mins

[Shaggy]

No, posters like you have made this board and this season horrendous for a large majority of Burnley fans. Be angry at the performance, be angry at the manager but to want him out is utter buffoonery.

In what way is wanting him out utter buffoonery? If we continue our average PPG for
The remaining games we will creep over 20 points. Which ever way you look at it that is an abysmal failure compounded by spending £100+m on ineffective players.

Any other club he would be sacked and rightfully so. In no way could you trust him with another squad rebuild in the championship next season. There is no plan it’s scattergun Harry redknapp style. Sign players until it works. Well mr Redknapp bankrupted 2 clubs in the process. And Kompany will do the same to us.

£19m for a baby keeper only tested at L1 for 1 season is utter madness.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

No idea how we got a point but the majority of that game reminded me of Laws last game against Scunthorpe and any of those 19 games under Cotterill.

[ClaretAL]

I have not heard that level of toxicity from the crowd in a long time.

[oswyclaret]

For the first time this season,I am actually doubting Kompany!

Is the tail wagging the dog here??

[pureclaret]

Glad we diddent sack him at half time, I still think hes the right guy to grow our club

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Difficult to argue with that. Whatever this ‘project’ is it has nothing to with either (a) winning football matches (b) entertaining the fans. I fail to see how any project plan can have as its first two stages: take one step forward and then three steps back. We knew we were up by this time last season and had all that time to plan how we could compete at this level. What the hell were they thinking of? That Luton have made a much better fist of it is a terrible indictment. For his own good Trafford should be nowhere near a regular PL place

[Loyalclaret]

We were terrible, not sure how descirbe most if the first 70mins.

Not sure there was toxicity, few groans but out right booing or grief i didnt really hear.

The three posters called out clearly go and support the team, some of the those posting do not.

We are going down, no doubt but i'd stick with the guy who romped the league last year personally.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Yeah, I didn’t really feel like anything had turned “toxic” either. Lots of groans and some booing at half time, but we were hardly back in the final days of Brian Laws. A few around me were discussing Kompany’s future at half time, but nobody was directly calling for his head. Might have been different in other parts of the ground I suppose.

Kompany got his usual clap from the fans at the end.

[BradTee93]

Some absolute whoppers on this page at times

[bobinho]

Here’s another for the “ignore” list…

[CrosspoolClarets]

Funny thing on this thread there are 13 posts all in a row from people I’ve muted. Never had that before.

[bfcjg]

He still has a lot of credit in the bank after last season, but after the team selection and tactics today his account is looking less rosy.

Going by your logic we would have sacked Dyche in 2015. Yes, let’s not trust a guy who achieved a 100 point season in the championship.

Jesus wept.

[Darnhill Claret]

VK is the right man for the job.
He has improved the quality of the squad this season. There have been crucial mistakes made, but the biggest have been in game mistakes, by the players.
VK and his coaches don't coach mistakes, they happen in games of football. The clubs with the better players make fewer mistakes. When our players reduce the number of mistakes the more points we will accumulate.
I never ceased to be amazed by how many experts on here think that their opinions are facts.

[mdd2]

Sad to say he looks out of his depth
Straight back 5 was not working but he didn’t change it until half time
Had several months to find another LB and 32 days to sign one but sends a RB on loan and signs another one and then plays a RB at LB
Today he looked more out of it than I have I have ever seen
BUT IMO we are in a real mess. The philosophy is not working but who could mild this squad into a team that can bounce back
Don’t think VK can

[ksrclaret]

As I've said before, the manager is out of his depth, yes, but worse than that, he's set a culture at the club this season of excuses and a lack of effort.

[Cooclaret]

Cooclaret + Bobsykes + Shaggy + Claretpadiham + Newcastle 93...
Absolutely shameful (apols mods if this is not allowed - I will take my suspension or permanent exclusion if deemed appropriate) but you really are a miserable set of toss pots.

I had my issues with Shaggy over Dyche, but the way you 5 clowns are carrying on makes me think that you believe you speak for all Burnley fans and the board.

100% you plastic fellas and will be banging on how great we are if we are top of the Champs after 10 games next season. No doubt getting tickets before my kids when let's face it, at 12 and 9 they are better Clarets than you.

mods - I never personally abused anyone, I think they are all numpty's.

They are the open minded realists on here

While in the deluded no matter what (and most likely anti SD) camp are RVClaret, Nori (Traffords Dad probably), Claretontheboast, and more. Sorry if I left anyone out. It has been another terrible day at the office

It all gets a tad dull on here for the rest of us really, going around in circles
