Mr Popodopolous Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 1 hour ago, Major Isewater said: We made the naive mistake of buying in three players from an excellent Chesterfield team , Mercer, Holland and Dyche who had overperformed and , more poignantly, overplayed the previous season. They all arrived carrying injuries and despite their quality and the logic of our transfer policy, as this is City, it all went chest up. A was a big disappointment for all parties. Mercer arrived in 1999 under Pulis I thought, unsure about Holland but think Dyche predated them both. Unsure what went wrong with Dyche here, I know that he had a reasonable career after leaving us with Millwall and Watford at Championship level.

Red Billy Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 He met with club captain before leaving the ground for the last time and he said Ben, the two of us need look no more We both found what we were looking for With a friend to call my own I'll never be alone And you my friend will see You've got a friend in me (You've got a friend in me) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 As for this decision, looks very harsh. There was a report that suggested Burnley have to pay a large slug of their loan if relegated so that maybe factored in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyClapper Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Could make a sale of Brownhill in the summer more likely. If they go down he could be quite attractive to a lower half club in the prem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedred31 Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Currently on a family visit to Brading Roman villa (Isle of Wight). Last time I was here I returned to the car to discover that Steve Coppell had unexpectedly resigned. Going in now and will check back in about 2 hours… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he never fails to take the opportunity to say how poorly treated he was here, by both the medical team & supporters. Klopp is as likely to arrive in BS3 as him. Brillaint .

MarcusX Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 5 hours ago, Northern Red said: I would, massively. Not so much Pearson going, but Dyche would have far more attractive offers. I also doubt he’d have any interest in managing us. Ex player yes but not a good one and not one with much love for the club if I recall? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recollection is that we had a deal done but the day before he was due to sign he scored three at Bolton(?) in the cup and his price skyrocketed. Could have just been a rumour at the time though.

Street red Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 8 hours ago, Robbored said: This is a perfect example of what can happens when a club gets taken over by new owners - in Burnley’s case a bunch of Americans. They’ve saddled Burnley with debts and the risk of losing PL income is frightening them. If SL ever sold up the same could happen to us. Could be a slippery slide for them now.
