Burke IN or OUT poll

Giraffe · Oct 25, 2014

Get a decent experienced manager in or Gus back and let the manager chose his players. It just isn't working.

Burke hasn't signed a good player for a very long time. And those were previosuly heavily influenced or selected by Gus who could really spot a player.

No problem with the bloke, has to work within a remit given to him by above and puts the available players in front of the manager to chose from.
Not his fault the manager can't organise a team and looks clueless.

So you're happy with the players he has bought in the summer? You think they are good buys?

Player recruitment, and at times the lack of it, has been dreadful over the last 12 months. Time to change how we do this.

Out, but only if he takes Barber with him

Not sure, if you sell a Merc for £20k and are then given £200 to buy a car what do you expect to get to replace it.

I recognise he has brought in some decent players. He's also brought in some shit that's for sure. Get rid with Sami. Give new manager the cash saved on DBs salary.

This is not a bad idea at all

BensGrandad · Oct 25, 2014

Not sure, if you sell a Merc for £10k and are then given £50 to buy a car what do you expect to get to replace it. Or if you had a fleet of 4 Mercs total value £30k and was given £1k to replace them you would struggle.

Not all, but no club can say they have a 100% success rate in players. He has helped bring in Premier league, la liga and Dutch top flight experience who I can't believe are as bad as they are playing.

Personally i think Burke should oversee the running of the academy which is clearly a full time job.

He should facilitate the manager and the scouts meeting /liaising in order that the MANAGER can pick the players he wants. Burke or the club secretary can handle the contract side of things. He should not identify and sign the players he THINKS will be good for the manager.

We have bought some absolute shockers and it is NOTHING to do with budget. 500K on COG? FFS! 50k would have been an overspend. Did anyone actually watch him? What did we pay for Baldock when we already had identical players in Colunga and CMS? Who got Gary "half arsed" Gardner in on loan? And, most worryingly who was responsible for Obika, Rodriguez, Toko, Dobbie and Agustien.

When you have a low budget it is REALLY important you spend it wisely. We haven't.

If for no other reason than to save on his wages.

Overall, he's had a shocker. You can't give someone who's new to managing in the English leagues such a poor squad and expect him to match what had been achieved over the last 2 seasons.

I bet he can't either!!

Finchley Seagull · Oct 25, 2014

I'm on the fence, mainly (as with most of the people who voted him out) because I've no idea what control or what budget he has. The signings haven't done great so far but if we had a striker who could score and played to the strengths of our team, I think we could do well with this team. However, we didn't get that striker and whether that's down to budget or Burke, none of us know.

Absolutely.

If many of these posters new exactly just what kind of money some of our players earnt, I think the budget argument would quickly disappear, especially for the likes of Agustein and Dobbie.

Heck, even those who could be deemed 'successful' weren't exactly cheap. Buckley and Ulloa are probably the only 2 really, and both cost big money for their positions at this level. Bridcutt wasn't a Burke signing, neither was Barnes.

The guy that does that full time job is doing fine as far as I can see.
Burke is failing in his role in recruiting players that can improve our squad. He is surplus to requirements in his current role IMO!
