I thought they had to pay up the whole contract? That would be even more of a kicker if it was only a month or 2

Not sure you can blame the board when in every interview Duff said he didn’t want to think about contracts until the season was ended.
https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/f ... at-3702960 This says Duff is one of a number set to be interviewed (like I say Hasselbaink is another) so this is likely to go on a little while longer unless Duffo rules himself out.

If he is being interviewed then Duff must be interested in hearing more about the opportunity and potentially open to a move.

He was in Cheltenham last Saturday giving out trophies at the Prestbury Phantoms presentation morning.
Again, at present all we know is they've been given permission to speak to him. We don't know that he's accepted an interview, that he's had an interview, that he even wants an interview.
Could be a load of absolute balls given Warnock said on TV that he’s retired from management about 6 weeks ago.Warwickshire Robin wrote: ↑21 May 2022, 07:56Thats a pretty underwhelming list of candidates there!

Not sure I'd be overly keen to go in as head coach with such a unsettled boardroom.
Also they've announced their retained list and given contract extensions with seemingly no input from the incoming HC.
Apparently they have a three stage process regarding the next HC.
Initial chat (are you interested?)
Questionnaire (odd)
Face to face interview.

I wonder if Burnley's relegation today changes anything for your manager?

Am still a tad bewildered as to why any interest from MD part. Unless of course we view all things MD thru rose tinted glasses.
Manager of well funded L2 team , FGR, goes to Premiership dropouts Watford. With a nice parachute payment to put in his back pocket. While MD, proven at L1 this year, even shows the slightest interest in another L1 position. All very odd

So operation 'keep Everton up' was a sterling success for the premier league as well as relegate Burnley, Brentford with nothing to play for get TWO men sent off in the last game of the season against LeedsSHANDY VOR wrote: ↑22 May 2022, 17:40 I wonder if Burnley's relegation today changes anything for your manager?
Do you all remember (early 90's) when Everton were kept up by the premier league playing wimbledon on the last day of the season they've got previous.
From a Burnley fan on another forum when asked if sacking Dyche was a mistake:
Absolutely not. If he had stayed, we would have been relegated a fortnight ago. Jackson not only gave the players the freedom to play but he tried a number of things that Dyche would not have done. Ultimately Jackson decided, rightly IMO, that it was better to lose games trying to win them, than try to survive by drawing.
We played yesterday with 14 recognised first team players. 3 of the starting back five totalled 88 Premier League career appearances between them and 48 of those are from Kevin Long, who has got to that number over 8 seasons.
Simply a case of a season too far for the manager and a squad that was too small and too stale.

Exactly like when the boo-boys got rid of Yates and as a a direct consequence we were relegated. Sad, sad times

I ever wondered if we would have gone on to win two titles if Yates had stayed and kept us up. I doubt it and think we would now be in our sixth year of L2 lower mid-table dullness. A bit of creative destruction worked in our favour.Ben version 4:0 wrote: ↑23 May 2022, 08:57Exactly like when the boo-boys got rid of Yates and as a a direct consequence we were relegated.

Things like this will put Duff more in the shop window. He’d do well at Barnsley, no doubt. Just hope he sticks it out for longer here and moves on eventually to Burnley or Bristol City.

Well...you just hit the nail on the head. They're the biggest "local" club so it makes sense that if people leave us for bigger and better things but don't want to move from the region, they're one of the obvious destinations. Plus the vast majority of us prefer City to Rovers.
