A number of names have been mentioned over the last week or so who could be likely candidates including former Clarets Kevin Ball and Micky Phelan and current Claret David May.

The brilliant news is that, in a change of direction, he is looking for a manager who will play a major role in the redevelopment of the youth system at Turf Moor.

We are of the opinion that both Brian Flynn and Steve McMahon are not in the running. Colin Lee and Steve Cotterill are though possibilities although Ronnie Moore and Eric Black still look to be the favourites to take over.
