    My point is though, how is this good ? It will make the discontented fans feel better for getting it off their chest, letting their frustrations out on the manager and the team, but what will be the end result ? I have no doubt Vinni is doing his best, he's picking what he thinks is the best team and they're playing the way he thinks is best, he is what he is, he does what he does, he can't change, he isn't going to change, so we're left with a team playing in a toxic atmosphere with the likelihood of boos ringing round the stadium if the players don't perform. The fans can boo if they want, I just don't see how this is good.

    There is though one scenario where it is good, if the fans want a change of manager. I was one of those booing Brian Laws, I'd had enough, I wanted him gone and the storm of booing when he walked across the pitch after the Scunny shambles meant he was gone within hours. Is that what you want ballcock, do you want Vinni sacked ? If so fair enough, if the fans turn on him there's only one winner and he's toast. If that's what you want to achieve then I hold my hand up, booing Vinni is good.
    I still do not think Pace will sack him Sinkov.They admitted they are ahead of schedule.What is not to like about going back to the Championship?
    No VAR farce and winning nearly every week.We were never going to storm the PL with £100m on 15 players.Arsenal bought one player for nearly £100m.Mistakes were made and we will be relegated but it is not for the want of trying.VK still has plenty of faith in the bank after last season with me.

    I agree CiB, Mr Pace has no intention of sacking Vinni, the booing does raise an interesting question though. Mr Pace/ALK have a plan, Vinni has bought into it as well, the promotion last season was unexpected and has put us ahead of schedule, so Mr Pace and Vinni are quite relaxed about relegation, another season in the Championship to further build the squad is fine, we are still on schedule. But what if a majority of fans aren't relaxed or happy about relegation, what if Turf Moor is no longer the fans Happy Place, what if the atmosphere does turn toxic and the team and Vinni are booed as the defeats pile up. I think it was Mike Tyson who said everyone has a plan until they're punched in the face. Vinni might have bought into the ALK plan, but what happens if the fans reject it and the atmosphere does turn toxic ?

    I think the vast majority of fans can see the bigger picture.There will be booeing but in order for it to get toxic then there needs to be an entire stadium booeing.I dont think that will happen.It would help if the hierarchy came out and explained the predicament and admit to making mistakes.
    Most Burnley fans will support the club even if they get relegated and even if they do not come straight back up.Also a lot of the anger is temporary on match day.By Monday most fans have digested it and realise we are massively punching above our weight.
