Burnley in for NP

[Blue Maniac]

Arsene Wenger played for Strasbourg and made appearances in the UEFA Cup. A little bit better than a conference player if you ask me.

Plural?

EDIT: And I'm sure Mourinho played for a top division Portuguese side at some point as well, even if it wasn't for long.

Belenenses, where it quickly became obvious that he wasn't very good. Then he became a teacher.

Nah. Mourinho wasn't even good to play semi-pro. Sunday league player I think.

I know it's from Wiki, but...

Mourinho wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father by becoming a footballer and he joined the Belenenses youth team. Graduating to the senior level, he played at Rio Ave, where his father was coach

Weird that Burnley have gone for Brian Laws, but good news for us I guess as NP is staying put.

and no new vacancy is created either

Has he actually been appointed. What a joke. If he can walk into a premiership job then we probally should start worrying about NP leaving !!!!

I think it's purely a financial decision. At the end of the day coyle went to Bolton as they had more ambition which speaks volumes about burnley!

"The results of a Deloitte and Touche study, delivered at the club's request, confirm that he was top of the list of Championship managers over the period 2006-2009, in terms of delivering the best results relative to financial budgets." link

Pretty much says it all.

and probably because he played for them, it makes me laugh how clubs usually like to go for an ex player to be their next manager, do they do it to try and get the fans on their side or because if they were a decent player for them they automatically think theyll be a decent manager as well
