Yeah changing something (especially a historic badge) to conform to a 'trend' is anything but being authentic - you're just being a poor imitation then. Should definitely go your own way on this.. As a neutral if I saw the abstract/minimal version of St. Rupert's Tower in media I wouldn't have...

Fancy giving him back lads?

Bit sad that isn't it? Just giving an opinion on a football message board, in good faith, about your manager that was our manager for a good 9.5 years. He isn't our 'greatest ever manager' and he certainly isn't one of your worst, but what he did was a good job and for that I will always be...

Sorry but this is just intellectual dishonesty and it means you can't accept nor acknowledge a view differing to yours. You have only posted the negatives without even trying to offer any of the positives or any nuance. "we had chances to beat them under Lampard early last season", really...

Little bit disrespectful and dishonest calling it 'dog and duck football' isn't it? How old are we? The point is first need to stabilise and get your off the field stuff in order before you can even begin to think about pushing back up as a 'top 8 contender'. Where we will disagree is that I...

I still find it staggering that Tarky never got a fair shot with England, think he'd boss international/tournament football tbh.

No, not quite but we tend to sign managers to long contracts here at Burnley - another club would have to pay him out of said long contract. Aye, we lost Charlie Austin less than a week before the start of our first promotion season with Dyche. Facts are Lampard didn't finish above 6th - losing...

Twice actually, 7th & 10th. Doing that with the size of our budget at that time was quite remarkable tbh. We are under no illusions as Burnley fans and certainly do not expect to remain in the PL for a prolonged period - it really is nigh on impossible. Most teams that aren't top 10-14 spenders...

Really? He took over from the same squad (lost Iwobi) and kept you up - you were absolutely going down under Lampard... Lampard couldn't even grt Derby to finish higher than 5th in the Champ with a gargantuan wage budget and players like Tomori and Mason Mount! No disrespect taken, I'm fully...

Some like pigeon-holing Dyche as a relic from the past and it's in large part due to his appearance and personal characteristics; if he was from South America or mainland Europe there would definitely be a different perception. Fact of the matter is he gets results and I'd say the last two...

Has a knack of winning big games does Sean - did it countless times for us lot. I wouldn't quite call it a changing of the guard but with the Kopites going through a transitionary period it could be a period of success for Everton in the Merseyside derby. We hadn't beat Blackburn Rovers in 30...

Not sure this quite works when for Dyche has spent more seasons finishing above the relegation zone (and never below 18th) in the PL.. Not to mention that Tarks, McNeil have all but one season of their PL careers played under Sean Dyche, then the more senior players Young/Coleman/Ganas...

McNeil should definitely play central more if you're playing 4-4-1-1 / 4-2-3-1 - he has that in his locker and allows a more natural 'winger' to play outwide. He played in central midfield throughout his youth career @ Burnley, just moved to left midfield (which not many teams use these days)...

Get in!

Probably! He played him there in a few games for Burnley, you never know.. Need another goal though that's for certain.
