Can Alan Pace afford to keep playing Russian Roulette with the fortunes of Burnley Football Club?

We all know how notoriously difficult it is to get out of the Championship; the fact we have breezed it twice in three seasons is down to pure luck.

We might not get so lucky a third time. My proposition is to sack Parker after we lose on Tyneside on Saturday and bring in a hired gun to try and keep us up.

Tongue in cheek, there’s a bloke in Nottingham doing rather well at present.
