Stadt Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 If Burnley didn't acquire a good striker every couple of years they'd be in mid table.
KFS Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 Don't like him, but I want Burnley to come up alongside us. If QPR get second, buying the league prevails.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 I was looking into how much 'big spending leicesters' starting 11 cost- I reckon around 9.375 million Kasper- 1.5 mil De Laet and James- 2 mil Morgan- 1 mil Was- free Schlupp- free Knocky- 2.6 mil Drinkwater- I didn't have a clue, reckon around 875,000 if anyone could help on this would be great Mahrez- 400,000 Vardy- 1 mil Nugent- free Obviously alot of these would probably rise with appearances etc and some of the fees probably are slightly different so if any of these cost more/less than I put please just say! But under 10 million for a starting 11 who have been the consistent starting 11 for a team top of the league isn't too bad considering how big spending we are Even the bench though- Logan- free Dyer- free Moore- free King- free Hammond- unsure as conflicting prices. Some say free others say undisclosed fee but I imagine belown 1 mil. GTF- free Wood- 1 mil Kasper £1m RdL/James £1.5-£2m for both Drinkwater £1m Mahrez £450k Knocky... £2.6m?? haha, you drunk bro? He was about £1m - bargain! I reckon Nigel has a nett spend of about £5m in the last five transfer windows. Not exactly reckless. As for Dyche, I really like the guy. Didn't like the 'pound notes' comment though yesterday but he was right about them missing their best players - Ings, Marney and Tripper would all be in my Champ team of the year and Vokes not far off - and he did say the best team won. He's done an incredible job there with the resources he's had to work with.
CosbehFox Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 Lost a bit respect for him but some must understand he's at a highly stressful period in his job and he's had a microphone pushed in his face. He did spend the first 45 in dialogue with the 4th official. **** knows why cos their peno shouts were blatant pushes on James and Schlupp. The dollar comments are partly true. However, it's only us fans at Leicester who understand it's causes Pearson more problems rather than less. Very little neutral fans will understand what's he's faced. The money has been a curse. As for Burnley small resources....where's that J Rod and Austin money gone?
Bettsj2 Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 The thing that struck me about Dyche is that since the start of the season when us, QPR and Burnley set ourselves apart, everyone said that Burnley would fall away because of their squad size and Dyche dismissed that. Now it looks like thats exactly what will happen and he has absolutely no answer of how to solve the problem. Without Ings, Marney, Vokes and Trippier, they looked one of the most average teams we've played. If we lost 5 of our starting 11 say, Nugent, Vardy, Drinkwater and Morgan, Wood, Phillips, Hammond and Moore could come in and we would not be any worse off. When you lose, take it like a man because nothing is worse than listening to excuses poured out in that horrible gravely tone.
Webbo Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 If the shoe was on the other foot we'd do exactly the same. Nothing to see here, move along.
Guest Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 His team bent over and took it for 90 mins I guess he couldn't handle the same.
CountesthorpeFox Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 Looking on the Burnley forum is very interesting.Seem to have the normal spectrum of fans - some with genuine balanced views others that are clearly claret blinded. Apparently Blackburn fans had advised them we were "awful".
Hungry Hungry Fox Posted 30 March 2014 Author Posted 30 March 2014 If the shoe was on the other foot we'd do exactly the same. Nothing to see here, move along. We'd do what? I was talking about Sean Dyche, I'm pretty certain nige wouldn't of made so many excuses
Webbo Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 We'd do what? I was talking about Sean Dyche, I'm pretty certain nige wouldn't of made so many excuses We got the rub of the green with some decisions and we've spent more money than them, both of which have some truth to them. It's hardly many excuses. He also said we deserved to win, what's the big deal?
Leicester Lass Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 We got the rub of the green with some decisions and we've spent more money than them, both of which have some truth to them. It's hardly many excuses. He also said we deserved to win, what's the big deal?The thing that annoyed me was the tone of the dig about money. Total disrespect for the job that Pearson has done, and him playing the small club with no resources card as usual. They've been without Ings and Trippier for the two games before this and still won, did he moan about injuries then? Let's not forget we also lost one of our most effective and influential players when Vardy went off. As for the 'rub of the green' he totally neglected to mention the fact we were denied a clear penalty, so the decisions were even as far as I'm concerned.

As for the 'rub of the green' he totally neglected to mention the fact we were denied a clear penalty, so the decisions were even as far as I'm concerned. I have always had a lot of respect for the job he's done there, but almost every interview he's done he's banged on about Burnley's lack of resources. Everybody knows they've spent little and have performed exceptionally well given their resources. They've been lauded in the local and national media for their incredible resilience and no little style with which they have got to where they are. In a sense it should come as no surprise given the fact that he routinely mentions his meagre resources, but in a post-match interview, in which he is discussing the match, is it not more appropriate to talk about what the opposition did right and your team did wrong when you lose? Smacks of diversion to me. Burnley were feeble yesterday.
Carl the Llama Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 Sean Dyche made some stupid remarks. Now lets get over it because to be fair he's in a frustrating situation having just lost a 4th key player and a 6-pointer in the title race -I doubt many would compose themselves much better, especially when decisions like the Wood one were the sort of thing that as has been pointed out can be 50/50 depending on the ref(though imo not a foul). We have to understand that we've been very fortunate getting a manager so steely cool as our Nigel. Nor do many other teams have a manager that you wish would give you a hug. Steve Bruce at Hull maybe.
LanguedocFox Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 I didn't hear the comment about pound notes, but I thought he was quite fair about us - I think he said something like "we at home lost for the first time thsi season to the top team, so I am not going to complain about that." Maybe wrong, but it was along those lines. I think we have been spoilt by NP's interviews, because our guy is a class act: I have never seen him make an OTT comment (even when he told the ref at Charlton that you don't know what you're ****ing doing), and as someone else has said, he's gracious in defeat and modest in victory. I can't think of any other managers in the division who do that.
Lionator Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 So we all hate him because he took losing pretty poorly? Amazing.
dsr-burnley Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 I've got a lot of respect for burnley as club but I have to say that I was disappointed with Sean Dyche's interview Ok I understand his team just lost but it shows a lack of class IMO that he managed to fit in 3 excuses(some may say reasons) as to why we won: 1 injuries, everyone gets them and it's his fault for not bringing in sufficient cover 2 Referee decisions, I agree that the ref didn't have the best of games, he missed the blatant foul on vardy when their defender had a firm grip on his arm but there was definitely no foul by Chris wood for the 2nd goal IMO the defender was too weak. 3 the usual they've spent loads of moment blah blah crap blah not interested You very rarely hear Nige make excuses like that To be fair, it isn't really Dyche's fault that we haven't got sufficient cover. I know there are differing opinions on how well Leicester would do without your three top ten players (Nugent, Vardy, Drinkwater) plus say de Laet - maybe you wouldn't be weakened at all, maybe the team would be less effective. But for the sake of argument let's say you were weakened, would it necessarily be Pearson's fault? Or would it just be the natural way of things, that if three of your players are among the best 10 in the league, your three suibs won't be as good? We've got less money than you. Fact. And what some of the people on here are not considering is that just because a player is a free transfer does not mean he costs nothing. Nugent, for example, was on £30k per week when he was at Burnley in 09-10. and I don't think he's lowered his demands since. Correct me if that's wrong. But Burnley's total wage bill this year is approx. £10m, about £200k per week, including office staff and coaches, and the maximum player wage is £10k per week. That's why we haven't money to spare for fourth and fifth strikers like Taylor-Fletcher and Phillips.
Hungry Hungry Fox Posted 30 March 2014 Author Posted 30 March 2014 So we all hate him because he took losing pretty poorly? Amazing. I don't hate him, I respect the job he's done, but for me he showed a lack of class in his interview yesterday

You've been unfortunate with injuries before and during the game, and you've got a small wage bill. We all know that. But EVERYTIME you lose Dyche blames either his small wage bill, the ref's decisions or injuries, or the first two. He's done a fantastic job and no one on here doubts it, most want you to come up with us but coming up with an excuse after every loss is just being a bit of a sore loser.That aside, what's the problem with Vokes and Stanilas? Are they both our injured? And if so, how long?
dedlock Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 Which decisions? How about the blatant foul on vardy? Seen through Claret coloured spectacles? The real villains are TV demanding an instant reaction within minutes of the end of the game.
maynefox Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 To be fair both managers have become quite arrogant with their success. Dyche reminds me of Nigel Adkins. I liked him when they were both at "smaller" clubs but when they've tasted success their egos go through the roof. Pearson has become a bit arrogant - but he is still modest and gracious, I like how he carefully choose his words correctly when being interviewed.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 Hehehe isn't it great to be top and outclass teams in the top 6, leaving them only with excuses. Sean Dyche can suck go on a tampon. That last comment is bloody disgusting. Odious git.
Nick Posted 30 March 2014 Posted 30 March 2014 That last comment is bloody disgusting. Odious git. And exactly what most people think about your values.
