That's a pathetic thing to say. The man's getting as bad as Mowbray for silly quotes

Gallagher's header...... dear oh dear oh dear. Total lack of football brain to head it back into the danger area when even a Sunday league player would have ducked under it or let it skim off the top of his head for a corner

Nathan Jones is a better manager than Tomasson as anyone who went to the Luton away match would testify. We were flying high at the time so the first half was cagey as Jones and Luton had a look at us First 20 minutes of the second half Luton applied sustained pressure and our defence duly crumbled. Luton shut up shop and the game was over Jones will walk into another Championship job

No

We'd have taken a point before the match but 2 wins in 10 says we're heading for a mid-table finish. Leicester beat Spurs 4-1 today but there's still hope in the FA Cup

Milwall and Luton in top 6 ....... and some say we're doing well just to be in the championship

Tony Mowbray's Sunderland above us in the table as it stands.

Because we're winning? It's not important ..... he said as much this week

Burnley 3 Preston 0

Chasing around up front in a 4-4-2 is not playing as a number 9. As an ex-winger myself I used to enjoy it.

Take Brereton off and strengthen the midfield. Hedges maybe. Let Dolan and Thomas chase around up front.

A winger whose forte is beating a man and crossing playing through the middle is Mowbray-esque,

That’s a poor midfield, wouldn’t say boo to a goose. I wouldn’t pick Brereton on form and his obvious lack of interest. His mind is elsewhere. Having said that he’ll probably score a hat trick Or not

Have you been to some of the away games? For me the non-performances have been the worst ever - and that's in 55 plus years of watching. At Coventry we had a big following and the away supporters usually enjoy themselves with a good old sing-song but even the lads there were stunned into silence

Except when Sam Allardyce was at Ewood, eh Chaddy?

Wasn't a decision expected today ?

There's a good letter in the Times today from a Manchester resident pointing out that the owners of United have extracted billions from the club over the years without spending a penny on infrastructure, the ground, the training ground or the local community (sound familiar Venky's?) whereas the opposite is true of City where among many improvements to the immediate local area a vast swathe of the east side of Manchester has been revitalised by investment in infrastructure and regeneration.

Con men always do

The word project itself isn't fit for purpose; .Real Madrid started it years ago with their "project" to sign David Beckham, it's overused and become a cliche. It's basically a load of grandiose management manure to make fans think they actually know what they're doing. The transfer window and botched Brereton sale demonstrate clearly that our lot don't. Mowbray's "project" ran its course and now we're apparently at the beginning of another project. Hurrah!. Hey folks, we have a project, give us 5 years and after a journey to nowhere in mid-table we might be back where we started. If only we had a manager and/or management who doesn't do "projects" and we might actually get somewhere. Vincent Kompany doesn't do projects and he's not doing too badly, despite what misleading Burnley Express headlines say

😄😄

Was Kompany told that by the Burnley board? If that's the case he's doing a great job Tomasson has referred to "projects" several times. It looks like he's embraced the ethos. As fans we're tired of hearing it.

Not sure why I respond to this drivel but "aligning myself with the Dingles" (que?) and "last throw of what dice"? Otherwise I agree, they're the Ferrari now and we're the Mini

"He talks about a project all the time" Kompany doesn't use the word "project" once in that article. Did you actually read it? "Project" is a figment of the Burnley Express headline writer's imagination FYI @longsiders and / or @sympatheticclaret said in response to my question some time back that as far as they could recall they didn't think Kompany (unlike our manager) ever talked about a multi-year "project" He just came in, revamped the squad (and made money in the process) and got them flying at the top of the league in his first season @Mercer referred to the fantasy world you live in during the Wigan match thread and he's right.

Did you read your link? Income €76.46m Expenditure €38.20m Overall balance+€38.26m Not sure where you're going with this because whichever way you look at it Burnley and Kompany have revamped their squad, assembled a Championship winning team and made a big profit in the process "Most managers" wouldn't be able to do that - and they didn't need a "project" either

Various figures around Burnley total spent to date: £21.7m Burnley total received to date: £72.5m Burnley net transfer balance: £50.8m I project they'll be promoted and make a healthy profit
