Sir Shep Posted 8 April 2018 Posted 8 April 2018 Title sorted, top 4 sorted, relegated teams sorted realisticly, only battle now seems to be who can get the number 7 spot, and as usual we are involved!

Stadt Posted 8 April 2018 Posted 8 April 2018 Looking forward to Burnley's 18/19 season where they either don't qualify for the group stage or get relegated

Dan Posted 8 April 2018 Posted 8 April 2018 7 hours ago, Sharpe's Fox said: They’re right. Fact is they have a manager who wants to get into Europe instead of one who tries to avoid it because it might mean he loses his job next season if there is a downturn in the league form as a result. Puel is happy for us to finish eighth but win nothing for his own sake. His record in the latter stages of the cups and the league when 7th is a possibility proves it. Have you see Burnley's cup record under Dyche? It's abysmal. I wouldn't put it past them to not even make the groups.
Great Boos Up Posted 8 April 2018 Posted 8 April 2018 The expectations of the Burnley fans next year will unfortunately cost Dyche his job.
Dan Posted 8 April 2018 Posted 8 April 2018 I don't think they'd ever sack Dyche. I genuinely can see him being there another 10+ years.

Wymsey Posted 8 April 2018 Posted 8 April 2018 (edited) They're bound to have a bigger budget next season, Dyche will probably spend too much on experienced British players and yet complain other teams had it easy in the market etc if they struggle. Edited 8 April 2018 by Wymeswold fox

Can’t remember specifics but there have been some excellent goals this season prior to March. can I put my head above the parapet and say I don’t want to qualify for Europa league from 7th position .........poisoned chalice and I believe it would be best for the evolution of the team to aim for a top six finish next season on the back of a proper European based pre season and a fast start to the campaign with the big clubs suffering most of their players having ‘post World Cup’ syndrome. Everton will have a new manager, Burnley can’t play this well again and will have the Europa league distraction and arsenal will either be a first season WIP or wenger’s last so probably vulnerable again. 2

Don't forget Wolves will probably spend half a billion this summer .
Dan Posted 9 April 2018 Posted 9 April 2018 From a footballing point of view I can kind of see why it's logistically no good for us to go and play in Belarus ahead of a potentially tight game. From a fans point of view I'd love nothing more 2

This chopping and changing of manager every season will eventually see us relegated. These clubs with a lack of structure only survive because there's that many of them and they can't all go down. We can build all the facilities we like but if we don't break out of this issue regarding managers, we'll end up back in the Championship. I think we've been fortunate to be as high as 8th. I expect as well as Burnley, the likes of Newcastle, Everton and Wolves could all very feasibly finish above us. 3
lancyclaret Posted 9 April 2018 Posted 9 April 2018 (edited) Dyche will decide when he leaves Burnley - not the owners. Relegation next season, Dyche would still not be sacked. Edited 9 April 2018 by lancyclaret
