    No offence but every 'new member' seems to follow exactly the same pattern you're on ...

    ... post on one thread only, attack the club and repeat yourself over and over again.

    Did you sign up specifically to repeat precisely the same moans that half a dozen have already posted.

    Or a meringue?

    All the local reports over the past week is that we aren’t close to appointing anyone and even suggesting still isn’t in the running

    Are you joking with Quinn?

    Got us promoted to the premier league where we stayed for 10+ years.

    When was the last time a local reporter got any info?

    They don’t have a clue.

    If it came to a 'you or him' situation he'd stab him in the back quicker than you can blink.

    It was common knowledge by the time Phil Smith reported it.

    A lad on RTG broke it.

    Spent money we didn't have, put us in a load of debt and buggered off before it all came home to roost.

    What Belgian connection? Just because a Belgian was their last manager doesn’t mean they’ll go Belgian again. <laugh>

    TBH Burnley did themselves no favours last season imo ...

    ... they basically hung Kompany out to dry with that squad.

    I'm not sure ambitious managers will be too keen to go there, perhaps why Kompany is happy to go.

    He sold the club to Ellis short, I don’t remember hearing of any debts at the point of sale?

    We were about 30m in the red when Short came in thanks for Quinn and Walton. Quinn then carried on spending Shorts money without any return.

    The academy wasn't utilised and the club built on sand.

    I wonder if Kompany was in charge of recruitment.

    For example, the goalkeeper they got in - Trafford - absolute suicidal buy going for a kid who was on loan at League one the season prior for about £15m I believe. Good prospect but nowhere near regular first team football at prem level.

    maybe they all learned walloon or picardy or something and think another belgian lad will have made it worth the effort

    Was it not the fake twitter account?
    Or was that uncovered afterwards. The timeliness are all a blur now.

    They signed about 10 players from Belgium last season to be fair do they not have an associated club or was that just all players Kompany wanted from his time there?
