I keep hearing his name mentioned but just don't see it.
He openly applied for the job in the summer, and heard from a couple of people who would know that he didn't even have his formal application acknowledged let alone invited for an interview.
I just don't see it, at all - who knows though? |  |

The chances of it happening are somewhere around zero. |  |

Extremely arrogant of Evans to dismiss someone like that who has a track record of doing everything he talks about in his ‘5 point plan’*
*yes I appreciate it was some time ago |  |

The biggest joke was he was asked to apply, he and Butcher made the application and he never even got a reply. Not even a thanks but no thanks. Classy.
In answer to you question, I don’t think there’s any chance of him returning...unfortunately |  |

I would LOVE to see Burley back, but I dont expect it to happen.
The most worrying thing about Hurst leaving??.......
....is who Evans picks as the replacement. [Post edited 25 Oct 2018 10:22]

I'd hate to have GB anywhere linked to the current predicament. Think it would tarnish all the good work that he's done previously.
We need a firefighter and someone who has been in this position before and got results. |  |

Holloway?
Kept QPR up the other year & they were proper sh1t.
Still better than the current Town side though in fairness. | |

But not known to organise a defence, which we desperately need.
Holloway would be worse than Hurst imo and a huge backwards step for us |  | | |

He'd be a decent option and yep, I don't see this being an easy task with the current squad.
This is what angers me. How come PH was simply allowed to buy untried and untested players at this level, time and time again without someone carrying out some sort of sanity check on things?
We're done and dusted this season after 14/15 games. | |

Edwards, Jackson, Donacien and Nolan are all good players who should be able to step up. Surround them with more experienced players, we have the basis of a good team.
Sadly, we need to wait until January to get that support for them | | | |

In our promotion season we had the second best defensive record in the league.
Season before that we had the best.
Season before that we had the 4th best.
Premier League we had the 5th best defence.

Dave Bowman is in there as a DoF and knows the Championship better than anyone recruitment wise and was roundly ignored in the summer.
Hurst's eyes lit up when he saw the pound signs that Webster and Waghorn could bring in and tried to do 3-4 windows work in one summer.
Not for the 1st time - Keane inherited a decent side and ripped it up in first summer
Jewell inherited a decent squad and did really well with it, then ripped it up and started again in the summer with a bunch of old lags
There needs to be some continuity and sense in signings, and someone needs to be accountable for that as Evans clearly isn't capable | |

There is zero chance unless Evans doesn't have a clue and just wants someone cheap, who the fans will love and would take the heat off him.
We need a defensive organiser as we have very little in attack. |  |

Thankfully the answer is zero chance. I find it amazing fans have forgotten in his last seasons with us he relegated us and then played terrible football and couldn't motivate the players in this league.
Yes we had some great times with him but he lost it in his last season here. Plus I agree with SBR when he said 'never go back' |  | | |

Is that more or less of a chance than Poyet and Treacle? |  |

Disagree entirely - the ironic thing about the Burley option is, that despite his age, he represents a more progressive route: passing football, faith in youth, love for the club.
His ideology is superb.
We are skint (artificially as Evans is loaded) -Burley works well in those conditions.
If we go down - it will allow him to 95/96 era work - clear out the dross and build again.
Some of the best coaches in history have done the business at a more advanced age.
Have Holland board to take over in due course. |  |

That truly is shocking if true. I keep wanting to think well of ME but bits and pieces I hear on hear from people I've grown to trust make this increasingly difficult. If someone at the club couldn't acknowledge an application from someone like GB it's disgusting. OK, he was obviously not at all the sort of manager ME had in mind, but the guy is ITFC through and through - you don't treat people with his connections to the club in that way.
Agh - just feel totally let down by it all. And it's made all the worse because most of us were really hoping for a reset and fresh connection with the fans, a fresh style of play, youngsters coming into the squad and team. None of this has happened and we find ourselves in a far worse place than we were 8 months ago. |  |

Apologies EG.
Thought you were referring to Burley as not being able to organise.
I now see it was Holloway. Fair point!! | |

Waggy Wonga Wasted. Webby Wonga Wasted.
I think our best chance now is a manager who can improve players, especially younger ones and who will bring unity. GB has to be in that discussion. But who knows? | |

| Is Burley even a realistic option for Evans? on 11:09 - Oct 25 with 2519 views | WestSussexBlue |
At least bringing in GB would take the spotlight off himself.
There’s more and more growing unrest towards Evans again and If he’s any sense a Blue blooded appointment would at least unite 90% of the fans.
Why cannot GB be brought in on a short term end of season deal anyway? |  | | |

Because Evans repeated his earlier mistakes of letting the manager have full control. The scary thing is, he isn’t showing evidence of learning along the way. He’s fired more managers than he’s appointed. Not one has gone on to better things. [Post edited 25 Oct 2018 11:21]

Club ownership is too hands on for Evans.
He doesn't seem to get that his role is integral in promoting togetherness. He needs to be more engaged and show everyone that he really cares, what his thoughts are, and how we are going to work together to be successful. |  | | |

Best option available. Only thing stopping his appointment is Evans who by all accounts didn't even give him an interview in the Summer. Like all Evan's appointments up until now have been superb... |  |

Bowman is not performing as a DoF and never has during his time here. To say so is disingenuous.
As you know he is Chief Scout and not really used by Hurst as seen as MM’s man. | | | |
