Yes Stephens was a Burke signing and he is still to really show he is a good signing as 14 games in nearly a year since signing him is not a lot to go on, but I will say he is one of the better signings, along with Ward and Bennett. As for Colunga and Baldock I am not convinced by either at the...
Well it is a results business and a lot of people have said Hyypia had not done enough to keep his job. (you included as above) So who exactly is Burkes outstanding signing (his results measure) out of the 25 he has made since he had complete control when Poyet went. I would be interested to...
I understand about the timing and it worries me that our Championship future could rely on signings chosen by Burke, because frankly his track record is abysmal.
Forget Hyypia, are you trying to tell me that Burke supplied Oscar with the types of player he wanted or needed? Augustein, Lita, Obika, Monakana and Rodriguez for example. Burke supplied one player in my mind to Oscar who was of benefit to him and that was Ward.

I am one of Burke's biggest critics and I really think he is out of his depth in this job, but if you look at his previous career and he has good knowledge of setting up academies and working with youth. So let him work in these areas and let the knew manager be in charge of recruitment with...
Well thats three managers now gone who have played international football, seems that they could not cope with the players chosen for them by a guy who played at Rymans League level.
Listen to these two interviews and I fully understand how Bloom was taken in by this man.
If ever a man can Talk the Talk but not Walk the Walk, then this man should take a bow on an oscar winning performance in my mind.
