gerblod Posted 22 August 2022 Posted 22 August 2022 I noticed, for the first time in a long time, that the attendance on Satdee was down from its usual 32+k max to a figure of 30+k. The faithful are talking with their feet.

The big contract we gave him to keep him with us is doing what it was designed to do - but not in the way we hoped. 1

I suspect it's more of a server/software issue - you've 'maxed-out' on your reactions credit, in spite of your credit-worthiness. All will be well...if the bugger gets the boot today, that is. .

It was supposed to be a 24 hour ban but was more like 30 or so. I don’t quite get the point of being banned by reacting too much.

Chelmofox Posted 22 August 2022 Posted 22 August 2022 38 minutes ago, Bunchy the cat said: We’re never going to be able to compete sustainably playing the mega rich clubs at their own game. Rogers has already publicly said we can’t compete financially. Makes no sense trying to set ourselves up to play a similar style to Man City, always going to be on a hiding to nothing, especially with a fish and chip shop version of pep pulling the strings? Dyche or a similar style of manager is the way to go. As we all know he kept Burnley competitive on a shoestring, what could he achieve with some backing? Also the brand of football, though not fashionable, (and we’d get told off by pep after every time we played them) could actually end up being a whole lot more exciting to watch than some of the stuff served up by Rogers? No! Dyche will tell us the club are happy to be bouncing around the relegation area each year. We are more ambitious than that. Our strategy isn't to be completing with the mega rich, its to disrupt the top six and compete for Europe. We don't do this by pretending to be Man City but we also don't do this pretending to be Burnley either. 1

Its baffling.

dannythefox Posted 22 August 2022 Posted 22 August 2022 Can’t see him going yet, see where we are after 10 games. Wish he’d go now though it’s going to be poison down at the KP till it happens.

RowlattsFox Posted 22 August 2022 Posted 22 August 2022 It's not a great time to be looking for a new manager is it. A week before the window closes when we need to get rid and sign players. I dread to think who we'd get and then be stuck with players we don't want. It really is going pear shaped.

I had every intention of doing the same despite cost of living, and putting footy as the priority. Given the current form, I’m taking a break for a few matches to save money for the winter - unless Brendan goes this week. If that happens, I’ll start parting with my money again. I don’t mind paying to watch the lads lose, but the way we keep losing/drawing is painful to watch. 1
