JF 694 Posted January 12, 2011 Couldn''t care less about them. Their fans are a joke, they still believe Lambert has done the dirty on them and are adament he wanted and agreed to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been supporting City 30 yrs...But i still do not feel for Burnley and the way they conducted themselves over Lambert. How they see themselves as a BIG club is still beyond me...they have a small stadium and same with the support..Im not saying we have a 50,000 seater but its packed every home league game and im sure if they made it 30,000 it would be still packed[Y] would Burnleys be??? i think not. Tin pot is a bit harsh but bigger then us? NOPE for me..I know im bias but we are geared for the prem..we have a very nice stadium, fantastic support and also now a great Manager+Mcnally stearing us in the right direction. OTBC...hope we continue with a BIG win saturday to move us into second and then nick top spot a week later[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted January 12, 2011 No sympathy.One season in the premiership does not give you right of passage to the best players or managers. How many seasons had they been mid-table or relegation contenders?They chanced upon Coyle and won the play-offs. Well done to them but their best recent player is Robbie Blake and that says about as much about their club as you need to know.Yadda yadda yadda, they have some ok players but in all seriousness are they really that good? Nope. They are not a prem team in terms of support or standing - Lambert and all of the other managers mentioned know that.Malky having played for big clubs (Celtic, us, West Ham and Watford) knows that you can still attract good players even on a small budget if the club has good support at better known clubs - something not missed by many aspirational managers. And whilst they are trying to cut their teeth they know they are better off trying to build a reputation rather than hopping about from one place to another and only having reletive success.For example around the rest of the country we were one of the favourites to go up last season. Lambert achieved that and whilst we know what that took I don''t think people looking from the outside do. This season we have done well, but as others have said it''s his first season in the championship and whilst we are in with a shot of the premiership there will be no reason for him to go.Listening carefully to what he has said it sounds like he will only leave when he feels he has taken the club as far as he can or when he feels their is a better oppertunity for him elsewhere. Burnley offer neither of those.Adding that to the fact he has previously stated that we are a team worthy of the premiership then I have a feeling that he will hang around a bit longer yet.

Duffman 0 Posted January 13, 2011 Burnley now onto target number 3.Official approach made for Eddie Howe.This could get even more embarrassing for them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Holt 522 Posted January 13, 2011 I think they should go for George Burley, not really heard him mentioned but I thought he''d be near the top of their list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joanna Grey 0 Posted January 13, 2011 There was a time, not long back, when several on here were declaring Burnley as the club we should emulate. I wonder what they think of their "model club" now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, we weren''t in a floundering mess when he took over. Gunn had already laid the foundations of a very good squad and Lambert subsequently stated that. Indeed the two "men of the match" against QPR were nelson who was the central pillar of our defence and of course Holt leading the attack up front. Praise Lambert by all means, I certainly do, but it''s a distortion of history to suggest that what he inherited was a foundering mess because that''s exactly what Gunn inherited not Lambert. The other favourite observation, including from neil Adams, is that "lambert has taken us from the bottom of the first division to the top of the Championship". Strictly speaking this is true but when Lambert took over the season was only two games old ! I can''t recall which other teams were in the bottom six when Lambert took over but it would be interesting to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the 7-1 defeat on the first day of the season spoke volumes about how he had failed to do that. Yes he brought in one or two decent players but that is not even half the battle.

city till i die 0 Posted January 13, 2011 didn''t Eddy Howe and the Bournemouth chairman go on ssn the other day declaring that he is staying with them???i think Burnley are pi$$ing in the wind on this one again, i think the fa should intervene and tell them to stop making approaches to managers under contract.
