Where do we go from here?

[Superpants82]

Sack Rudkin off and find a DOF that actually knows football. Someone who will look at a manager and sees what tactics they employ and can understand how to pick the right manager for us based on this. Not looking at a CV and going yeh you'll do.

Sack Puel NOW would be ideal and hope we've been in talks already, and the new manager gets up to speed with outgoings (the bad apples) and brings his own players in (Rafa in an ideal world).

Someone who will bring in a good team. Remember the days when Pearson was in charge and we were all over sports science and psychologists, well that's definitely needed. 

With this comes an overhaul of our scouting team, I'm sure a decent manager would have a few ideas. Let's be honest at Leicester at the moment we are going to see bids (Highly likely) for Mahrez, Ndidi, Maguire (Likely) Vardy, Gray 

then you've got Ulloa, Kapustaka, Slimani, Musa, King, Mendy to sift through and keep or get rid and Huth and possibly not keeping Dragovic. In a nutshell, it's a bloody mess. Puel is not the man to sort it out. Once we have players who want to wear the shirt for the club, the manager and the fans then we will be alright. I just hope this gets sorted sooner than later or as people have eluded too, well be in a relegation fight next season.

Just wondering how long you have supported us for.

This is becoming repetitive now.

old manager does shit.

new manager in 

does good for 9 games 

does shit for the rest of the season

we back him in window

end up sacking him and cycle repeats

Or the Rudkin way?

Theory but in practice will not happen: sack Puel today put appleton and stowell as caretakers, take 4 pts from next 2 games, go and get Howe or DYCHE soon as close season starts.

Quote on the BBC about Stoke...

 

"The mediocre end to last season carried on into this campaign, not helped by a poor transfer strategy that was unable to provide the improvement clearly needed after that indifferent 2016-17 season."

 

So that's Stoke and WBA that couldn't turn it around following the previous end of season form loss.

 

Alarm bells ringing loud and clear.

Sean Dyche as manager. Vardy out, and replaced by two attacking strikers, the two best in the Championship. Plus the two best attacking midfielders from the Championship. Plus the best two attacking defenders from the Championship. Proven players from the English league.

Ditch one of the best strikers in the league who happens to be our most productive player at the same time.

 

That’s a pretty shit plan.

 

Why not get a DECENT manager in instead? 

 

I agree reed we need hungry players, but of all the players to get rid of, it shouldn’t be Vardy

Vardy has had a great season with little or no support and you can do very little without the ball. For whatever reason Puel is not the man long term to move us on. He has though kept us up comfortably and got to 2 cup QF and should have could got 7 place. Some question the owners yet £80 million + earmarked for a training complex and a long awaited increase in capacity suggests they plan on being here for the long term and plan to improve not maintain or drop off. Maybe Claude was the best man at the time and he has kept us up perhaps better options will now become available, not sure about Wagner but Benitez has kept Newcastle up despite very little support form the board and Dyche has achieved a 7th place finish which is some achievement and not sure if he can improve on that. People should have a little more positivity not the chaos and mayhem they seem to crave.

Last year Burnley finished 16th and people said they weren't sure if he could improve on that.

You honestly think Burnley can better 7th, this has been a fine season for Burnley fair play but do you honestly think they can improve on this 

[Foxxed]

No one's quoted The Bends in this thread yet? Look, the football is shit but there's no need to let your standard drop, alone on an aeroplane, fall asleep the windowpane, my blood will thicken.

No.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

I just want us to rediscovery some kind of identity. At the moment we're a bland football club is pretty much every aspect. I want some spirit, some character back into what we're doing. I don't overly mind if the football is poor as long as we've got a bit about us,

I think Burnley can become a better team, yes.  I'm sure plenty of people on this board remember a time when a financially "smaller" club broke into the top end of the Premier?  You've encouraged our dreams.

 

Perhaps more relevant is whether Dyche thinks that he could make Leicester into a "top 6" club any more easily than Burnley.

[lancyclaret]

Dyche could perhaps win an FA Cup or League Cup with Burnley.....a favourable draw and a top performance in semi-final and final.

He wouldn't. With Mahrez going, 7th is the absolute limit with the current Team 8-10th being more likely. If the players don't turn against him, that is.
