burnley sack Dyche

madness

relegation is a demotion of a team to a lower league

madness were a sh*** band of cockernees

Night Boat to Rawtenstall

Dyche to Old Trafford ?

to be fair last throw of dice and it waas a desperate display at norwich if they couldnt raise a leg for that nothing to lose by getting shot,reminded me of robson,s  boro performance at leeds ,ABJECT

Its very hard for smaller clubs competing in the Premier League with the vast budget differences.

That's gratitude for ya. Crazy imo.

I'd have pictured them as a decent bet to come straight back up with Dyche. The club must be looking for a new direction... Division Two!

madness and such a well run club who have been punching above their weghy for years.

can only think its the new owners who will no doubt ruin a really well run club.

shame for dyche - did not deserve to be sacked for sure.

maybe there is more to this than meet the eye

One last throw of the dyche by Burnley.

They must know Roy is available soon

shirley this is a job for keannnnnnnnnno

squeaky bum time-saf

only takes a second to score a goal-clough

Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that-bill shankly

get up you c***-roy keane

I’d love to know where this prem money goes for some of them though. Burnley apparently in debt to their eyeballs and in trouble if they go down yet they spend nothing and have sold Wood...

Where does that money go because it certainly isn’t the club and it’s almost as if their pocketing the money and putting the debt in the clubs name eh...

Clubs are being used for money laundering

Same happened at Derby under mad Mel, there’s no way that club should be on the verge of liquidation yet they lost their stadium, the previous owner took all the money and scarpered after putting them into administration..

It’s time fans started sorting this out

New American owners borrowed to buy and are in a mess if/when they go down , can't see anyone doing better than Dyche with so few matches left

I agree sparrow.  There was always going to come a season when the war of attrition to stay above the zone was lost.
He had to sell his main striker too, as average as he was, which wouldn;t have helped.  It;s hard to see them staying up but who knows.
Good luck to him,

Burnley had a leveraged buyout. Yanks used the clubs own money 40million of it and then borrowed 100.

Burnley heading for the next club free falling down the leagues with a shed load of debt

Know nothing of their financial situation ,but anyone who knows football will scratch their heads at this crazy decision .Dyche was their best asset in their attempt to beat the drop ,ticks all the boxes ,been in the situation before ,knows the club inside out ,has respect of the players and the fans ,crazy decision .

Maybe Dyche told the owners a few home truths about the situation at the club and they didn't like it, but who knows.

burnley's situation is not dissimilar to a number of clubs that have been taken over in recent years, the new owners screwed the deal and hocked the club to buy off the old shareholders

Mind blowingly stupid decision given he's hadn't been given a penny to spend

You would have to question why any foreign investor would want to buy a club like Burnley. It is and always will be a local club for the local people. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way.

Fat Sam Allardyve has just been spotted at Burnley airport?  Coincidence?

Trying to think of a worse decision in the history of football but so far, nothing

So the owners technically don’t own the club then using the clubs money to buy it is the most ridiculous idiocy nd sums football up

Mel Morris actually made a sh!t ton of money out of Derby, he’s richer now than he was before ffs

These scumbags are fleecing clubs and then leaving the fans to pick up the pieces

As one Derby fan said to me, why the fook should the fans bail them out? Fans of other clubs criticising Derby fans for not “doing more to help” it’s pathetic to me that

Fans shouldn’t be footing any bill

Multi millionaires coming in fleecing then sodding off

Feel for Burnley, all those years of saving and banking the lolly only to then have it just taken away anyway to foot a bill for some rich suits

I know exactly what you mean RQ and it is a very fair and valid point.

Man Utd was the same. The present owners borrowed to the hilt against the clubs assets; sold Renaldo too early at his prime to help pay interest on the financial arrangement. The lucky thing was Man Utd has a bigger more solid fan base and lucky with their purchases (players) and manager (Ferguson).

Imagine what Man Utd could have won with Ronaldo, Ferguson and an owner with deep pocket eg owner of Man City/Chelsea and Liverpool.

Ronaldo wanted to go to Real Madrid, nothing to do with the Glazers.

Fergie persuaded him - in Summer 2008 - to stay one more season, understanding he could go in 2009. At that point what else could they do: sit him in the stands?

No mega rich owner is ever likely to buy United. You have to pay $4 Billion on Day 1 just to takeover and have a team that is not especially good with a dilapidated stadium. Why would anyone do that when you could buy Villa/Leeds for £250M, buy the best possible squad over 3 years, pay for the extra wages and ground improvements and end up spending less than £2 Billion in 3 years.

I don’t think majority of owners ever risk a penny of their own money ever

Owners like Abromovich and the oil men at City are a very big minority

Majority of them fleece the club and leave them in a right mess afterwards

They kept saying they’d learned after Ridsdale and Leeds but 20 years later and clubs like Portsmouth, Bolton, Wigan, Derby etc have all been had by similar owners

Time to stop listening to the so called idiot governing bodies and protect the clubs ourselves

Add Burnley to that list as well if this is true

Rommel @ 10.52.

strange 1 for sure

only 1 person keep B up Dyche

Mad decision and mad timing.

They have only 4 wins but 3 of them came in the last 9. Cornet was out for almost 2 months before that and he's back fit now. They have a friendly run-in too. Everton's is pretty nasty. Chances of staying up massively reduced imo.

Dyche was going at the end of the season regardless of whether they stayed up or not

Burnley are fcuked if they go down

This is the last throw of the dice

I wonder if he lost the trust of some of the players. They've had some strange performances lately. One game against Chelsea stands out, when the players really didn't look like they were trying. I might well be wrong, but maybe some of the players were getting sick of him. It happens to most managers at some point, unless they're consistently successful.

Not even parachute payments saving them?

It amazes me the fans never question anything until the SHTF

I mean 7 seasons in the prem out of the past 8 (the other being a title winning promotion) picking up the big tv money and banking it, barely spending any of it... and somehow their skint without a pot to pi33 in

Jesus Christ it’s not like they spent anything on turf moor either, it’s still a shed of a stadium after 8 years of decent success

Oh dear,

That is really an easy one and respect to Charlton fans for this because football fans are not known for the clarity and honesty of their thinking.

Alan Curbishley has taken us as far as he can.

Be careful what you wish for!

I'm a Charlton fan and I never heard anyone say that about Curbishley, we had a great time with him in charge.

Remember them saying that about curbs
I’ve got charlton mates they said the same wish they never let him go now !!!

You never heard that lovegod?

Radio 5 live every Saturday. Curbishley has taken us as far as he can. I would scream at the Radio. Taken you as far as he can alright!

I dont particularly like Sean Dyche or the brand of football he has to play but by God Burnley fans must be grateful fir what he did for them.

Brilliant summing up.  He has worked the oracle season after season with the meagrest of means and assets.  He may never get the the chance but I long wondered how he would fare elsewhere with a bigger club?

That’s right. We need somebody to take us to the next level!

arguing over dyche compo 15 mill jesus 15 mill,there,s your 1st season parachute money gone plus thg 2nd years on getting a new coaching staff in

parachute payment is about 40m in the first year. he has 3 years left on 100k a week which is 15m but they won't have to pay him all of it. Prob more like 5m. They only gave him the new deal in Sept so it makes the decision even more baffling. He's the best man for the job to keep them up and to get them promoted again if he doesn't. The owners must want to play more attractive football but prob don't realise that they don't have the players.

100 grand a week to manage a team to hardly create a chance week in week out,
somethings gone wrong with the burnley model when after their run in EPL and the money every team nows has ,theyve ended up with their worst team, centre backs ,goalie apart wont be many epl teams fighting over the rest

Jenas reckons there has been a fall out somewhere within.  Couldn;t comment but every manager has a shelf life I suppose and he;s had a great run.  But as lurka says - a very good point - who would be better suited to bring them back up should they go down?  Still ahead at the London Stadium so there is still fight there.

has cornet got a scouse accent or an everton contract in his back pocket,

Cornet scored the winner v Everton a couple of games ago

100k a week for dycheyball

Burnley will find out he’s their one man type, once he’s gone that will probably be it and back to their natural level of bottom champ/league 1

And to be honest it’ll be the same for Dyche as well in my opinion, Burnley and him were right for each other and it was his perfect club

I did think that with Howe as well though but he’s done well with a much bigger club since leaving Bournemouth

If he was on 400k a week there he'd have been worth every penny given the amount of PL money he's secured for the club. He's taken them down and straight back up once before too. Paying to get rid of the most valuable man at the club. The only thing that makes sense is a falling out or major incident but no reports of that yet.

Spot on lurka. Some people have no understanding of the economics but I also think there must have been a falling out somewhere.

Next Burnley manager
Chris Wilder – 7-4
Sam Allardyce 2-1
Wayne Rooney – 15-2
Michael Duff – 10-1
David Unsworth 12-1
Slaven Bilic – 14-1
Chris Hughton – 14-1
Rafael Benitez – 16-1
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 20-1
Daniel Farke – 20-1
