mcmigo Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Why is it unbelievable? I'd say it's bang on. Why did we then sack the manager who outperformed all his peers in the league, and replace him with someone who comes below him in this list?

Guest CampbellOwl-36 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I don't find that hard to believe. The past few seasons (before this one) we had a budget that was basically relegation fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KivoOwl Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Why did we then sack the manager who outperformed all his peers in the league, and replace him with someone who comes below him in this list?Maybe because he had three very good years and only half a bad year?

barmyowl1212 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Why has everything got to be done by survey? flip me cant anyone decide for themselves anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WoodhouseOwl77 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Why did we then sack the manager who outperformed all his peers in the league, and replace him with someone who comes below him in this list? Because we were free falling to league one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxing_day Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 How many other managers were in the championship during the period the survey was conducted? What were the exact dates of the survey? Its believable, but i think there is more to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WoodhouseOwl77 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 It gets better read on.... Brian has shown great acumen with regard to player recruitment, having managed teams with nominal spending and wage budgets and establishing good working relationships with the very top clubs in English football. Try telling us Buxton, Purse, Miller and Clarke were good signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owlsfan Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 It's definitely believeable. Any bargains that Turner, Sturrock or Laws signed on relatively low wages compared to their talent were either moved on before they signed a contract appropriate to their talent (Brunt, Bougherra, Whelan) or signed their first new deal only this summer (Grant, Tudgay, Beevers) during Laws' time as manager.

Guest superowl58 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Seriousley, what does everyone have against Brian Laws? He kept us in the championship and made us a decent side fnishing 12th last season on a very poor budget. But just because he had 1 bad half a season everyone seems to be out to slaughter him. In my opinion he is a decent manager. Not a great manager but not a terrible manager by any stretch of the imagination. At the end of the day, we just needed a fresh face in the dressing room with new ideas, because with a budget like ours i think you can only go so far in managment terms before you start going backwards again, and that happend to Mr Laws. Good luck Brian, hope you keep the clarets up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhollywood Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 No offence to Burnley or Laws but it reeks to me of waving the white flag and preparing for next season in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more than 1 half a bad season or have u forgot 2007/2008 season 6 losses at start and coming down to final game to stay in the division.... that was bad This season as been a disgrace Brian Laws will be there manager as they where lucky to get in that league and have no ambition to stay in it!

RobHowe Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 No offence to Burnley or Laws but it reeks to me of waving the white flag and preparing for next season in the championship.I'm not so sure they're waving the white flag - perhaps they're just being realistic and accepting that relegation is a real possibility.Didn't they they say they weren't prepared to over-commit financially this season? Maybe they planned and budgeted on staying up for one season, taking the Premier League money for a season and then the parachute payments to help build a stronger financial base for the club - just as Bolton did and quite possibly the likes of West brom, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUCE LEE Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) Because the majority of the fanbase appeared to want it..... TBF fan pressure was minimal.... the fact Laws went to the chairman, put his hands up and said I cant do anything else with these players is probably closer to the reason why we parted company.
