Burke gets one of top jobs at the FA

[El Presidente]

Sounds a good job for him. Hope it works out.

He did a pretty good job with the youth team Rohan Ince, Solly March anyone?

I don't get this new fad of wishing ill on people after they have left. He's gone, were happy about it and now he's got a new job and hopefully he's happy about it.

Envy, resentment, bitterness and schadenfreude help people on NSC get through their day though.

Let's move on...

No let's not.

WTF happened to then cup final money and why did the club shut the gates against arsenal when there was only 18k in the ground our first game in the first division?

Yeah and what happened to the money from the bovver boot sale outside the north stand that day?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

He was reckoned to be good with youth prospects. The problem appeared to be when he and his team had to identify the finished articles.

Yep this.

I heard that a splendid reference from Sepp Blatter swayed it

Just getting in the obligatory:

WHY did we let Burke go Sort it out Tony FFS

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

So actually he is very good and along with jakey being an integral part of the U21, it proves that we fans know NOTHING about football.

I agree with you, though I can't imagine this'll end up being a majority opinion.

Even if the national team now won the 2026 world cup and it was publicly announced that it was all due to Burke there would be many on here still insisting he's awful.

I'm not saying the man's apparent record with us was all that great but he did seem to catch an inordinate amount of flak, much like Jones did (though he's now apparently a saviour in waiting, who knew fans could be so fickle?).

I thought that was next seasons back four?

Could do a job!

As I read it the job at the FA is different to what he had here in that he had to reccomend players to buy not as at the FA to play. A big difference wìth financial consequences, if he got it wrong.
