Brian Laws resigns from Burnley...

[Goddard]

... no surprise.

Was hoping he'd stick around a bit longer, until we played them in january.

Good players there, sh*t manager.

[stainrodisalegend]

Think he was "invited to leave", but you are right, no spark about him whatsoever, always a bizarre appointment.

[Goddard]

Got Sean O'Driscoll written all over it.
With a hint of Phil Orange/Brown, in case SO'D says "no".


When it comes to Burnley FC, I'm well ITK.

Brown sauce, it's all chips n gravy.

[Magic]

Apparently Tango man expected in

Jim Magilton doesn't seem to get mentioned in connection with many of these jobs does he? Even Paul Hart appears to be above him in the management pecking order. Sean O'Driscoll would be a good appointment - thought Burnley looked v impressive down at our place and with a decent manager could still mount a late surge.

Can't believe he got that job in the first place after the job he did at Sheff Weds. He must have incredible job interview skills...

I think it's because he's a total mentalist.



By the way, all these managers getting sacked, and the same names linked... whatever happened to David O'Leary?

I'm having a little wager on Chris Houghton with Jimmy Bullard as his assistant

[sirpiechucker]

Kilby wasn't prepared to pay Donny the compensation fee for O'D in January so he will either have learnt his lesson or he'll again go for the cheap option. Laws was always a poor choice for that job. Coyle had inherited Cotterill's side and added some flair and made them play football. Laws doesn't do football. He's an Allardyce type manager. With the squad they've got O'D would be perfect for that job.

Brian Laws has been cheating a living for years.An awful manager.Probably only Alan Ball was worse at relegating/dragging teams into relegation battles.

And Paul Hart being linked to the Blades means the death of them.

[Fez]

Shame, they were never going to be any good with him in charge would have liked him to have been given the season!

I hope he takes over from Dave Jones when he has a breakdown.

[Gerryhatrick]

I see Neils only 150/1to get this job.

Go on, lump on, you know it makes sense.
He must be homesick from his beloved yorkshire, surely.

But seriously, Phil Brown for this job I reckon

[SheepRanger]

There's some cr@p on that list, I'm so glad we're not in the market for a manager!!

Phil 'look at me I'm slagging my players off on the pitch because I want you to see how great I am' Brown. I hope they have a tanning studio in their gym!!
