Have you ever been to Burnley.
I have, and my sympathies are wi Howe.
I passed through on a train and that was more than enough.

We can only hope the Sheep beat them in the Cup Semi this coming Sunday.
We need to be at our best to beat Kilmarnock that day, we could be 9 points ahead (all be it with them having then played 2 league games less).
Their next domestic 'Home' game isn't until December.
They could crack in that time, especially if they suffer some hefty Euro defeats too.
I want Holly Willoughby but it ain't gonna happenSpeaking to a few of them at work and there all saying lennon in for meeting today. Hoping he gets sacked n replaced by Eddie Howe . Haha panic stations now .Turning on the board,manager and players haha
Howe would be a good appointment, but who would want to risk being the man that didn't deliver "10"? Poison chalice this season for anyone coming in and not succeeding.
I'd get homesick if I had to live in Burnley.Eddie how got home sick at Burnley FFS.
Given the high number of loan players they have I wonder if they had an idea to win the "10" then reset - ditch Lurgan, the loans and sell off the assets with a year left on their contract - e.g. Eduoard.
Bring in a new manager and have a deep clean.
May well still happen - after an interim replacement - MON is free ...
Jack Ross or the Alky in charge of Scotland no doubt
HopefullyHe's a long way off the sack yet.
I heard this last week. Desmond is not happy with his drinking.asked in for turning up smelling of drink i heard.
Not forgetting 3.5 million on that polish striker.They lost to Ferencvaros
They struggled against very average European opponents to qualify for Europa League
They have struggled in most games lately and were unbelievably lucky against St Johnstone
They have only really turned up against Hibs this season
There is obviously unrest there among the players. He’s openly questioned the players commitment.
After Old Firm game he complained he had players missing . Not exactly encouraging for the squad players playing that day.
Paid £3 million for Bolingoli, paid £3 million for Taylor and the current left back is a loanee. Paid £3 million for Turnbull but he can’t get a game in an injury ravaged team!
He’s in the press complaining players are not fit. Ffs he’s the manager and he can’t get players fit!!
He gets an easy ride here because he’s Lenny the victim!! He gets an easy ride from many as he has been up against little threat domestically. He gets an easy ride as he’s a Republican bigot.
King was spot on. It’s a House of Cards and we are witnessing the collapse! No Champions League money (again) No one wanted any of their sellable assets. They have a huge wage bill paying players who simply don’t want to be there.
If we can win 55 this season they will have a very difficult, borderline impossible, route to Champions League. Court cases will be reaching there conclusion. If they weren’t terrorist loving peado harbouring Irish Republican scum bastards you could almost feel sorry for them
I heard this last week. Desmond is not happy with his drinking.
Challenge who again haha, they might be shite but they've still won the last 10 trophies.This is what I fear. They get in another young progressive manager like Brenda and challenge again.
A Tim told me he turned up drunk at training !asked in for turning up smelling of drink i heard.
Was working Saturday night and a couple of the sub contractors, who were celtic fans were talking about lennon, one was telling the other " if celtic drop more points the day and fall further behind Rangers lawwell is getting lennon in Monday morning to sack him and will bring in Eddie howe to replace him" dont know how he knew this right enough

If you were a true neutral manager with no allegiance to either of us, I guess you might look at it as a free hit? The team are a shambles atm, behind in the league, out of the Champions league, performing poorly and you don’t even have the summer transfer window to buy players and implement a style. Gerrard has had two years to build this team. That gives a neutral manager (who doesn’t really car about a so called ‘10’) a lot of scope to blame Lennon if things go wrong.They are not an attractive job at the moment for anyone.
Any manager that comes in is at risk of being seen as the guy that blew their "10IAR". Lennon's also just blown £35m over the last three windows so it's highly unlikely they'll be throwing more cash at it, particularly with the wage bill they have and a third season without the Champions League. Their biggest sellable assets (Edouard, Ajer, Christie, Ntcham) all have just 18 months to run on their contracts come January so they'll be under pressure to sell.
On top of that Rangers are on the ascendancy and if we win this title, their fans will go nuclear and we also have a crack at the Champions League.
Proves papes just repeat what they hear to each other as matter of fact thenThat's exactly what the OP says... so it must be true!
Eddie Howe where do you start with this one.
He will cost a heavy salary to get him here, and lets face it. They managed to persuade Rodgers to come up to Glasgow, then they could get him to come for the right money. Question is can they afford to pay off Lennon, and then pay for him and his background staff.
He did a reasonable job with Bournemouth, but had a torrid time with Burnley. I believe Burnley took a massive hit on their wages bringing him and his background staff in. Rumour around Burnley was he even wanted rid of background staff that had been with the club for years to get his own family and friends in to jobs that you don't normally touch.
When the expectation level lifted at Bournemouth he couldn't make the step up as a coach, but their fans will forever love him for taking the club up to the level they did.
He did have a lot of money to spend at the club, there wasn't too many success stories with some of the big signings on big wages. Will he get that now that they haven't had CL money for a few years.
He was touted to be the next Arsenal manager but he was never offered the job and has never really been offered any of the bigger jobs in the EPL, Everton, Newcastle and so on. All bigger jobs that Bournemouth.
His style of play has been decent at times but mainly against some of the clubs that would attack or be expected to attack his teams. Could he adapt to trying to play against the lack of space and defensive methods you get in Scotland.
I reckon they as in their fans are just throwing names against the wall now more in hope that the board throw the money at what they are demanding as they are shitting themselves. Their board with only react if the pressure becomes too much and Liewell needs to divert the narrative away from himself.
Jack Ross has a 54% win ratio with Hibs, he might be a very good Scottish premiership level manager in future. If he continues to impress he could be a long term option for us.They canny afford to sack tlb there skint as for Howe no chance mare like jack Ross
Eddie Howe
You've got more chance of Oscar Pistorius catching athletes foot.
Fùcking mental tims, you've got Lennon and his thunder and that is your whack, you may end up with Jack Ross if you are really good boys and girls.
He wasn't a popular choice. Even they could see it was the cheap option!I'm surprised at how quickly they've turned on Lennon.
They were getting unlimited free hits at the CL so could afford to pay Rogers. Now after a few years without CL money and the looming court cases, there's not a chance in hell they could afford anyone similar.If the mentally challengeds pay what the payed BR then they may attract a decent manager, but I don’t see Lennon sacked until it hits destruct button.
His record in Scottish football is very good (though small sample) took over a Hibs side with 2 wins in 12 league matches then has proceeded to have a 54% win ratio (better than McLeish has with them). This season their only defeats have been at Parkhead and against Aberdeen, plus they managed to score twice and take a point against us!I can see the going for Jack Ross. At first I'm not sure if that's anything to worry about but I remember we got McCleish from Hibs and see what happened there.
All this noise from the other side of the City it is so funny but we are only a net 3pts ahead, no silverware yet. I am looking to our results and performances and enjoying it not theirs.
Will be happy seeing them implode at end of season if we win the league. Gave them a five league start, and 9 point start for the next 2 leagues with Warbs and Pedro if I am honest. If they can't win 10IAR with a start like that then they really are a bunch of incompetents!
