Sorry mate, but you have been deliberately poking the anthill all week long - you can hardly not expect a bit or ribbing back for it..;)

to be fair..im not the one going mental about him

 

people have admitted they want him out regardless of how he does...is that sane thinking..?

 

so far he has a better return of points than pearson..!!!! and yet we have people making stuff up about players hating him and having no respect for him..

 

should we have NOT WON yesterday you can bet that certain posters would be having a field day today...funny how they are nowhere to be seen which makes them one trick ponies IMO

 

fair play to you, you always put your opinion out there and dont hide...unlike others

One question : how do you know this ISNT true ?

 

Not that it matters, really. I for one dont reckon that managers and players should be too cosy anyway (Steve Wigley and Anders Sevensson's verbal waanking-offs about how the players love him in the Echo comes to mind..)

I dont...but I doubt the person who posted it does either as they have been asked a couple of times to tell us how they know...yet they have ignored the request whilst other who we know have contacts to the team on here have said anything but what this poster claimed..

to show I am open minded;) I agree with you, couldn't care less if the fans and players think his arrogant etc if he does the job!

I missed this, who has refuted the accusation ?

weston saints (who is pretty reliable imo) and nickh...

 

um pahars has stated the players are up for it too..

 

I tend to respect WS's opinions, though I feel he gives Lowe the benefit of the doubt a bit too often.

 

What you have written about UP's comments suggests nothing to me about how they feel about Wotte.

 

I tend to totally disregard nickh's insights as PR bolllocks.

I will say that we finally seem to have a reasonably settled back four that is doing a decent job -- Skacel - Perry - Saeijs - James -- and barring any serious slip in form I hope we can stick with them the rest of the way, no matter what happens with Thomas. There has been far too much chopping and changing in the team, and it's contributed to our poor and inconsistent results, imo.

Just to set the record straight I have not heard any of the players are against Wotte although they say he is a hard task master and that was not in a critical way. I was not at the Sheff Utd game as I had a meeting and dinner appointment but against Swansea and Preston we showed individual and team determination missing previously.

 

As for Thomas, I believe his contract was for 2 years and is up at the end of the season.

I don't think WT is highly regarded and he will not get his contract renewed. There is a view that if he makes a mistake he soon asks to come off with an injury. In other words not mentally strong.

 

Burley's worst signing imo.

 

Marcello Sarmiento?

Steven O'Halloran?

1 Year contract extension for Darren Powell?

That last one must have been vying with Ali Dia in our long history of crap signings

All bad but WT cost us more than £1m. Ouch. My Burnley supporting friend couldn't stop laughing when we signed him.

 

I remember hearing just after we signed him that Dowie at Coventry had a £150,000 bid turned down the week before; I'd say their valuation of him was considerably closer to his true value than ours sadly.

 

All I'd ever known him doing before he signed for us was lamping Viafara and getting red-carded the season before, and I haven't ever seen any similar fight in him playing for us.

I've just had a flashback of his first half performance in pre-season.

 

It was either against Celtic or Stoke.

 

One of the worst 45 minutes I've ever seen from a defender, and I was there for Bennett's debut too! ;)

 

Bennett turned out to be a big loss though, can't believe he went to Brentford.

I think Thomas like Skacel is a good player, but will always be criticised for the amount of money he cost.

 

£1.2m is double what he is worth, but we've just pretty much matched that for Morgan Schneiderlin, who it has to be said has contributed far less than Thomas did last season.

i remember when we got him....we were desperate for a CB..one of those "burley" moments I think

 

shame he costs so much...lets hope it was not the 1.2m up front and a chunk based on promotion

 

Perhaps certain people on here starting a new thread every 3 hours about us needing a centre back forced his hand? ;)

Saeijs -whilst not saying he likes him, says training and preparation is now hard and intense

 

The question is why wasn't it hard and intense before, and if it wasn't, why didn't Wotte, Hockaday or anyone else get something done about it? It's been bleedin obvious the payers weren't fit enough all season.

 

I don't know, but maybe the training regime getting tougher has something to do with Killer getting involved?

and they replaced Thomas with the far better Clarke Carlisle who cost next to nothing!

 

Burley's worst transfer however was "Pele" - how he had the nerve to call himself that still shocks me.
