Bent on Burley 11:41 - Oct 3 with 3986 viewsJeanManuelThetis

Interesting insight into how Burley was with our young players. Bent picks Burley as the best manager he's worked with; recounts that when he was a 16 year old, how Burley would stay out on the training field with him working on parts of his game.

We've not had a better manager since IMO. Our best chance of success is by looking towards the academy, the players like Woolfenden, Dozzell, Nydam, Downes, Morris, Folami. We should be working towards getting these lads into the first team fold, and developing those around them - Huws, Bishop, Edwards, Jackson, Knudsen etc. Together with the experience of Chambers, Bart, Sears. It's vital that we have a manager that bring those players through and bind that together. I saw it first hand with GB, he's different class.

Yup, up there in my time.... but I think Joe Royle was great, also given this squad would work wonders too.

Agreed. And I think in the short snippet of Bent speaking, you can see why Burley was so good at bringing your players through.

Whether Burley would be good enough to manage now is another matter...

It surprises me when I hear some youngsters talk about Burley - some love him, others don't seem to rate him particularly highly even though he was the man to set them on their way to very succesful careers so certainly not a case of sour grapes.

A manager with Burley's pedigree for youth should've been appointed without doubt - that is what excited me much more about Jack Ross than Paul Hurst.

Look up the road - Norwich have brought in £45m for Maddison and the Murphy twins. They now have Max Aarons, Jamal Lewis and Todd Cantwell starting games and will be able to raise big fees for them going forwards.

That has to be the plan - there is such a premium on young English players - of our signings this summer they are all of an age where an exponentially high resale isn't likely - bar potentially Edwards and Jackson and the likes of Nydam, Downes and Dozzell who could push on and be worth fortunes haven't had much of a look in.

This is where I blame Evans for this mess, who is overseeing Hurst, and who is guiding him - how can you allow Nydam to go out and Edun to come in, how can you allow £1.5m(?) to be spent on Nolan when we have promising players in that poition that need to get fit

James Maddison wasnt a Norwich academy product, but youre right, they did develop him and make a handsome profit.

could not agree more , we have an u23 team top of their league we should be gradually .drafting them into the first eleven not sending them on loan to lower leagues . If we were to be relegated i would rather it be watching our own talent gaining championship exeperience for our future.

Absolutely spot on.
This is what I thought Hurst would do.
Instead we’ve loaned out or ignored some of our own promise and gambled on unproven youth from below championship level.

I love George Burley but it's worth remembering his first results were W4 D2 L15.

Still a great manager for us

Agreed. Royle was dealt a bad hand and saw players sold, yet he still did very well. Played the right way. Never been so entertained!!
