According to Lancashire Telegraph, Malky Mackay is a possible for the Burnley job and Watford may be approached next week. If not Malky then it could be Phil Brown or Derek McInnes or Gary Neville or...........etc etc

every job that becomes available, paul seems to be linked.This may be a thread killer, he has committed himself to us, those clubs can knock at the door, but no one is answering. Promotion to the premier league [i will not call it premiership, an americanism] or stability in the championship is the minimum requirement. If that cannot be delivered then fair enough.

Sorry, the player ratings thread has got me cross and caused me to reply without counting to 10 first. Feel free to carry on speculating on more crap rumours without an ounce of truth in them to feed the half-baked paranoia of the more insecure posters on this forum...oh there I go again.

we got a good gaffer, if other clubs want his services then so be it. he''s said he aint going, Would be gutted if he did leave us. He''s got a squad that a: want to play for him and b: want to play for the clubIf the unthinkable happened, who could replace paul?

Paul Lambert would walk out of a club 3rd in the division to manage a crock of shy*e lower half side who are more likely to be league 1 before they are premiership would he?

Er, could this be the same club that are actually eighth in the table, one point off play offs, played us off the park for the first half of their match down here, still have a number of damn good players and a shedload more cash than we have?? Yeah - well and truly ''shyte'' aren''t they!! PL may well stay here as I expect him to but I also believe Burnley will make the play offs. Take your yellow tinted shades off and start giving a bit of credit where it''s due mate.

The bookies DO NOT set odds based on the probability of something happening or what they think will happen. The odds are set by what bets are laid by the punters ....

....... the clue is in the name, BOOKIES (bookmakers)

[Accrington yellow 0]

Definetly not a binner!!. Only registered yesterday as i saw the guy''s post and that he lives local to me. I use wrath mostly.

What i would say about Burnley, is that they have a very good squad of players who should be at least in the play off''s by the end of the season. We are overacheiving at present and need better squad players to progress, but our transfer budget doesnt accomadate for this. With a transfer budget of £5m for the next Burnley manager, and for family reasons, these could be the factors in him joining Burnley. I still think its highley unlikely and Burnley dont often go for managers who are already with a club and have to fork out compensation. Brown or big Sam will get the job.

Off to boro tomorrow for what will be my 8th game of the season [7 of which away from home].

Absolute sh!te !

If we are over achieving (as you claim) then we will need better players to merely remain where we are.

Perhaps you might care to tell us all what our transfer budget is - and why you have been informed of this whereas almost everyone has not been informed.

Or maybe tell us why Lambert would be joining (because of ''factors'') a club that you later state, DOESN''T go for managers already in a job ?

As to how good a squad is their results will determine that - not trolls on forums.

Might I suggest that the idea of adding evidence to an argument is to back up your claim - not to reinforce what you are disagreeing with.

Calm down!! why such the harsh response?! no need for that at all. Last time i checked, this was called a forum?

We are punching above our weight at present and this is down to great management, which we have not been blessed with for a long time now. This is a positive not a negative. I dont know what our transfer budget is but it cant be great based on our level of debt and previous signings As i said, i think its unlikely Lambert would go to Burnley as they dont normally go for managers who are currently in management, but if they did, he may be tempted, as he will no doubt have more resources [better transfer budget, no debt] to get a team into the premier league.

 

 

 

[kdncfc 27]

Burnley may have money but they can''t afford to spend to much because on crowds of 15k their annual turnover is around 10 million less than ours so they need it to subsidise the running of the club. A club that can only attract the kind of support they can will find it much harder to compete at a decent level for a sustained period of time in todays football world unless they have a sugar daddy, if Burnley don''t get promoted either this or next season they could well drop down to the lower reaches of the division again when the money runs out.

[Bill 1,788]

More absolute sh!te ! (calmly typed)

Oddly enough (or not) the expression "punching above our weight" is one much favoured by our impoverished neighbours, conveniently ignoring that they have been consistently borrowing above their weight.

However you spin it, if the manager is getting results then we are achieving then those are at his and the players respective abilities.

I''m glad to see that you now admit that you don''t know the transfer budget. Debt is immaterial (see Man Utd) it is whether those debts are being met. They are.

However that pretty simple fact seems to elude your thought processes in your desperation to have a go at our club. By your reasoning Alex Ferguson should be heading up to Burnley as they have less debts and Burnley have this £5m transfer budget - something you seem to know much about, even though you admitted that you earlier made up the figure about us.

Why you should wish to post up fabricated tosh so as to try and put down our club is for you to know and us to guess at.

Can I just say this about  us overachieving.  IT''S COMPLETE BOLLOX.  Lambert is a manager who has a mindset of, go out and attack and try and win every ****ing game.  None of this Worthington defensive crud of go for a draw and run it into the corners with 15 minutes to go.I am 100% sure that Lambert team talks are, you are good enough to win this league, so bloody well go out there and prove it.Overachieving my fat hairy arse.

My loyalty to my club is absolute, and I post on here to discuss the club I love. If I see a rumour regarding Lambert leaving, I am concerned, because he is the best manager we''ve had since Martin O''Neill and losing him would be a catastrophe. I understand that giving any credence to the rumours simply fans the flames, but a few posts discussing things that are already in the public domain doesn''t really make me disloyal, does it? If someone has wilfully propagated that rumour based on complete fabrication, then they obviously don''t have the best interests of the club at heart, but some of the accusations that have been levelled at me and other posters who simply discussed it are frankly disproportionate.I''m not here to troll or wind people up, and I''d rather make positive connections with other fans based on all the positive things that are happening at NCFC right now. It does frustrate me that some people seem to be more preoccupied with shooting people down in flames than making allowances, but such is the nature of the world I suppose. Anyway, I have no desire to get into slanging matches with fellow fans, and I agree with your point wholeheartedly (if not your tone of delivery) so let''s all just wait until this has blown over and then look forward with positivity towards our Premiership push, starting with three points tomorrow.
