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

Burnley 2-1. Good lad that Vincent Kompany. Never mentioned "project" once, so I'm told

☹️

As I see it at the moment (may have missed some players out) Goalkeepers: Kaminski and Pears are a decent No 1 and No 2 Centre backs: Hyam is fine; S Wharton and Carter - jury out, still developing and prone to errors, Phillips in the wings; Ayala I'd let go. Ideally we could do with a new centre half Full backs: Brittain was good when he was fit, but how long is he out?; Pickering is OK but often struggles and probably needs replacing (Giles would have been fine). JRC can fill in but 1, possibly 2 full backs needed Midfield: Buckley, Travis, JRC have their good days but lack pace and physical presence. A Wharton and Garrett still works in progress. Morton can go back. At least 2 strong, experienced players required to strengthen the team Forwards: Problem area. Gallagher and Vale clearly never going to cut it. Brereton is leaving and probably should be dropped permanently. Dack struggling to regain his old form. Thomas - early days and he's on loan. Do we wonder why we struggle to score goals? We're at least 2 and possibly 3 strikers short So to my mind if we were genuinely going to challenge for promotion that's at least 6 and possibly 8 players that we should have been looking at in January Wigan signed 8 in the window apparently - why couldn't we?

We were down to 5,000 or so in the 1980s.

The league is finished and you have to hope we don't sink too near the bottom but we have an exciting cup tie at Leicester in prospect and you have to hope the players will rise to the occasion like they did at West Ham

One by one people drift away, disillusioned, and in the end they don't come back. I don't understand why fans think this is Ok and will lead to change at the club

It won't happen Burnley's men against Rovers' little boys

We were much more direct last night than in previous games, not so much farting around at the back. Was that because Pears was in goal, because Kaminski loves playing the ball around his box, or has the manager had a change of heart? The end result was much the same because we did not threaten to score again (how can we with that forward line?), but at least the ball was being moved forward quicker. It all adds up on the desperate need for new strikers. Vale and Gallagher are never going to be good enough and Brereton needs to be dropped, probably permanently.

And therein lies the problem. Waggott and his chums will think there's nothing wrong

How many shots did we have tonight? I honestly have some sympathy for those who think the football is worse this season than under Mowbray Tomasson might want new players but isn't the job of a coach sometimes to improve what you've got? We seem to be getting worse, not better

It's a shirt not a jersey (rugby) but yes I agree, I wouldn't pick him again this season.

1. Brereton should be dropped. There's no point playing now, purely on form. He's dire. Might as well stick Dolan in to the end of the season. 2. Failing to sign at least 1 striker in the window was unforgiveable. 3. Forget the play-offs. We'll finish midtable like last season

I'd take 8 points from 9 It's actually 8 from 27

0-0 with the bottom team CEO Waggott calls in Tomasson tomorrow to explain Of course he does

Pathetic dive by Pickering. No penalty 0-0 with the bottom team 0-0 with the bottom team 0-0 with the bottom team Who's sick of Projects?

Gallagher, what a donkey

On this showing I wouldn't play BBD again
