CW to West Brom

Agreed but there's no guarantee of success there given their budget, recent spend and the approach of their new owners. In fact, given that CW's next job is likely to be the key determinate as to whether he'll spend the next ten years managing in the top tier or in the levels below, keeping Burnley up (as an absolute minimum), whilst changing the style of football all under a tight budget could well turn out to be a very difficult/ impossible job.

Tbh- I could see Palace going for Potter or Cooper instead of Dyche - he really isn't held in the esteem his record warrants.
Potter apparently is the bookies favourite for the Everton job, I can't see Dyche at Palace, the link or rumour has been around for a couple of years, you would think if it was real, they would have made their move as soon as Hodgson left.
If Dyche does leave its a tough act to follow, that's before you think how many players might follow him out of the door, and the current interest from a couple of clubs in bidding for Chris Woods
 

This is what I’ve tried to tell people for years, when Wilder first came in he said regarding the clubs finances that he would never put the club in jeopardy, this is why he’s never gone mad spending big on wages and I admire him for his stance on this.

I do think the money was there if needed but if Wilder didn’t think it represented value for money then he was having none of it, trying to get this through to folk has been very hard though.

He’s made loads of mistakes and it could’ve ultimately halted his time here but I’m not going to fault him for this one, he always had the clubs best interests at heart no matter how poor his judgement and decisions were in the last season.

I'm sure he had the clubs best interests at heart, but going mental on transfer fees and not on wages doesn't make sense.
As someone has pointed out, there are many players available for next to nothing, the only drawback is they are big earners.

But big earners are big earners because they have done it before, they've just got replaced by an even bigger earner.
And £50,000, £60,000, £70,000 and even £100,000 a week puts between three and six players in the first team for four years that we've spent on Rhian Brewster
 
David Wagner over Chris Wilder. Is there owner having a laugh?

😂
Might be something to do with CW saying he wants full control of transfers etc, the west brom owners looking at our PL transfer record and thinking absolutely fucking not. Wagner might be accepting a more of a head coach role if that's the model they are choosing to use.

I take your point JJB. We can pay fees over so many years though and wages need to be paid immediately, plus if the shit hits the fan regarding us having a lot of high paid players on the books, ending up with us getting relegated it can sometimes be very hard to get rid of the players, this would cause a big problem for us and this is what I think Wilder wanted to stop happening, albeit he might wish he’d have done it slightly differently, who knows!

Wages are also paid over a period of time, weekly, or more likely monthly.

It would add up to more over a four year period, but I'm pretty sure we could have got better value for money than Brewster, McBurnie, Mousett, Berge, Jagielka, Rodwell etc if we'd got four or five players who had done it before albeit on higher wages

To me, although structured different it's all money coming from the same pot regardless of how it's dressed up

We can't establish ourselves as a Premier League club for one reason only, and that is our wage restrictions, and it's the same every time we get there.

This needs to change, I for one am sick of the term squad player, cover, utility player, versatility, a descriptive term used by United more than any other club on the planet

Or CW wanting a lot more money in salary and budget!
 

No proof but suspect CW is one of those characters that commits 100% to the job, no hobbies, no distractions, driven and doesn't cope well trying to dial it down, Peroni being a temporary fix,, sometimes tgat approach works well gets results but speaking from experience it wears out your welcome fast

Yeah, come to think of it I do see that in Wilder tbh.

I see it, as I have the same 'flaw' or trait, after a bit of time you realise you can't demand the same standards or shared attitude, you try and adapt, but stupid things start to add up, some trivial thing demands a response, but you know you can't, that starts to eat away at you, start to think about ways to get away, get out
 
Fulham being the team with the owners son picking the players they buy? That Fulham?
That would be hilarious to watch given his attacks on our board around recruitment.
With us, Palace and Fulham that’s him already down to 85% of clubs remaining. Most of which can’t afford him or have DoF or both.

Palace are going to appoint Nuno, no interest in Chris and Dyche will sign a new deal with Burnley.
Of course if Dyche left it would be an interesting job having to keep them up. The one team in the league with a much lower budget and lower wage bill than we gave him. Plus they also have a team who also pick his transfers for him.

It really is crazy that he couldn’t reign it in to get to the summer and re-charge because he really isn’t going to get a better job on as much money with as much control.

Sunderland is the only option which would seem to fit.

Again Fulham would still be interested in him it would be down to CW to accept some help with transfers which is not unreasonable and the norm

I agree though if he wants all control wants to run the club shop and the kiosk he may aswell buy his own club
 
Sean Dyche's last 8 seasons are two promotions from the Championship and 6 seasons and counting in the Premier League with Burnley.

I would argue it is harder to take a team from mid table in league one to 9th in the premier league

Than take a top half champ team to the prem tho both great achievements and why they both should get bigger jobs eg everton/wolves/spurs

If anything it just proves that a relegation from the premiership doesnt make you a bad manager

Dyche was also sacked by watford after finishing mid table in the Champ

Potter whos biggest achievement is getting Brighton to 16th Laughable :)

The Burnley fans watching their 6th consecutive season in the Premier League might differ.
It also shows that Dyche didn't throw his toys out of the pram in tough times.

At some point there has to be an existential crisis from aiming to finish 17th every season. That sojourn into Europe looks increasingly like a one off. What's the point?

Burnley are the 2020s version of Stoke in the 2010s.

Burnley's Academy went from a Cat 3 to a Cat 1 in 3 years.

flavour of the month, with the media, who tend to use a stock phrase, closing every post match report, whatever the result,, 'he is doing an amazing job there' usually met with a couple of pundits, slowly nodding their heads in agreement, before Lineker drags the conversation back to Leicester

Im not disagreeing with you there both great managers

If burnley had our injuries this year they would more than likely be relegated also though

For the club, yes it absolutely makes sense to finish 17th in the PL as you get the income and can invest just as Burnley has. The original question was about the fans' view and that's what my response was aimed at: there will come a point where the fans will get bored of finishing in the bottom 5 and start agitating for progress.
