Parker has conducted himself well in his role at Burnley...until yesterday.

He looked lost in the post match interview and admitted the performance of his team wasn't good enough.

He's got 2 or 3 games left to string a performance together or he's history IMHO

Guardiola, klopp and Ancelotti dream team wouldn't keep their rabble of shite up.

May as well wait until summer and have a bigger pick of coaches.
 
I know every club wants to be in the premier league but some clubs aren't built for it and their ceiling is the championship and Burnley are one of those clubs. Go down this season, and it's their third consecutive premier league relegation

He said about 6 weeks ago in a post match interview that they probably didn't have enough to stay up?
 
I didn’t realise they were in such a mess.

Apparently Burnley fans have been told that season ticket prices will increase and that they are using a finance company if you want to spread the cost (with a nice interest rate obviously)

I think it's more to do with recruitment up to a point. Bournemouth get around 11k a game

It's not just the manager that's the issue, it's the culture behind the scenes.
They want to continue with "more of the same" - a hope that slow, steady development will eventually pay off. It might, but it's going to give them three successive promotions and relegations.

We gambled - we brought in players who we believed would be able to compete physically and mentally with the ability needed - although unproven.

It's honestly worked better than our wildest dreams, but we'd have been in exactly the same situation if we'd gone for "steady development".

Maybe they need to rethink how they're doing this - hopefully we've provided a bit of a path / blueprint to how you can come up and stay up.

Excellent point although its still a big gamble for clubs coming.

The issue with replicating our method is that your spend in the championship needs to be very low. Our wages were low and spending was too, that’s how we maxed out the spending headroom

Burnley are burdened with higher levels from being a yo-yo club

Ours is a good way to do it but you need to plan ahead for it

Most teams don't and won't have a psr blank canvas like we did....ie getting promoted with a young team on very low wages, no real losses over the last 5 years, able to sell a decent but very replaceable player in Jobe for massive money.

The likes of Burnley still had a number of average players on premier league wages when they were in the championship, so not as much wriggle room to do what we have done.

We had much more headroom to spend due to being conservative in the championship. We also sold Bellingham and Watson to give us even more wiggle room.

Obviously you have to spend it well too and we had clever people at the top. Our situation was a bit unique.
 
Burnley keep doing this. Get promoted, add nothing to the PL, get relegated. They need to have a rethink of their approach because it's an epic failure every time.

Its called planning.
 
It’s tough for club like them
They’ll always have a ceiling with the ground, fan numbers etc
They’ve benefited from the parachute payment system, problem being their ownership won’t mind too much whether they go down or not, as fans though it’s horrible every other season just losing
Don’t think it’s unfair to say Leeds and ourselves are a different animal as they have more potential to really kick on when they get in the premier league

Same could be said about Brentford, Bournemouth like. There’s no reason they can’t do the same. All down to how they’re ran I suppose
