If that's really the case mon ami, then we've dodged a bullet, we could have given him the job, but at anytime in the future, one phone call from United and he'd have dumped us quicker than Vinni did. We've seen what happens when you employ a prospective City manager, we really don't want to be employing a prospective United manager.

Best for him and us if he goes straight there. Or to put it another way, feck him.

I agree Sinkov.We need somebody who just wants and would love to be the Burnley manager not somebody with dillusions of grandeur and just see`s us as a stepping stone.
If that manager then has an unprecedented run of success with us and gets a better offer from a bigger club then so be it but certainly not somebody who is eyeing his former club whilst taking the job with us.
This obsession with a "big name” manager will always have that danger accompany it.
