Unfortunately we were clearly not prepared for life in the Premier League, and so an exceptionally poor season, ending in relegation back to the Championship.

Alan Pace now has the job of finding who he thinks is the right man to lead the club next season, it may be he is being a bit cautious in selecting the right man or it is possible that his choice is currently in Germany with the Euros .

There has been a lot of speculation mainly by bookmakers on who will end up sat in the Burnley hot seat, personally looking at the track records of those who have been mentioned there is only one who stands out from the others.

As it is something supporters of BFC cannot influence it is not worth me worrying about and I will trust in Alan Pace to find the right man at the end of the day.
I would like to ask the question,WHY were we not prepared for the Premier League, when we should have been ?
