Burnley's new Manager is.....

[Mr Angry]

.......Brian Laws, recently sacked at Sheffield Wednesday.

Burnley fans must be spitting nails at this; bringing in a guy sacked last Month from the bottom of the Championship!

Did a fantastic job at Scunny. However, if I was a Dingle, I would be extremely underwhelmed by this appointment.

[Smoking Kills Dancing Doe]

There's just no one out there.

We've got the same problem.

Not a signal of intent to stay up though is it?...

With £3m compensation they could have used that to approach a manager already in a job.....

Coppell and O'Driscoll would have both been realistic, better alternatives.

I work with a Burnley supporter and he is exactly this; underwhelmed.

Dingle? I thought they were Wolves fans?

Apparently the main reason he was appointed was because, according to some report called the Deloitte Touche study (or something), he was proved to be the top championship manager between 2006-2009 in relation to the budget he had.

3m compo for Coyle, the payments you get for being in the premier league, you would not have thought this would be the main motivation for the Burnley board, saving money.

I hope the guy does well, he seems a genuine football man, but i will be placing him straight into my managerial sack race competition.

I get the feeling O'Driscoll turned it down, just cause like you say he must have been the prefered choice.

I dont think Coppell would want it to be honest.

[TBM]

Sorry, I don't watch that shit.

- no sorry i forgot, you watch Hollyoaks

Is suspect they may be realistic about their chances of staying there long term. They may stay up this season, but how long can it last. If they don't have someone willing to chuck millions at them each season, this could actually be an excellent appointment.

Laws comes in, gets them playing above the budget they allow themselves, don't increase the wages and expenditure, bank the excess prem money until they're inevitably relegated, use the money to grow the club's infrastructure and they have a good manager in charge to get them through the cost cutting down a level while hopefully maintaining a top of the table challenge for getting back up there with more chance of staying next time.

Sounds perfect Ian, but i can't for the life of me see it working that way.

Those that have taken average gambles on spending, Stoke, Hull, Wolves, and Bolton seem at the moment to have paid off, i just can't see with an attitude like that how they are going to succeed.

You need to define success though. If Reading had stayed up and then proceeded to finish in the lower mid-table for the next 20 years, allowing for the odd flirt with Europe and the occasional cup run, I'd be delighted and feel that the foundations laid down at the start of the adventure had been wisely built.

Like Charlton until they spent £11m on rubbish players and suffered two relegations.

[Victor Meldrew]

So does that now put O'Driscoll in the frame for our manager's job?

[Nick Shorey my Lord!]

If we'd lost night possibly, but if we follow up with a win on Saturday then BM has it in the bag (if he doesn't already).

[Wycombe Royal]

Did a fantastic job at Scunny.

Not according to the Scunny fans. He got them promoted twice but had the biggest transfer budget in their history.

Adkins has had a better record with less funds.

[SWLR]

Heard on R5L that the best banner last night in the Burnley end was:

"He's not the Messiah, just a very naughty boy".

Classic.
