There were many that would not have seen this one coming, the second favourite and ex Grimsby manager was certainly not the fans first choice although they are sure to get behind him and their team in what will be a massive challenge now to stay in the Premiership this season. Brian Laws, statistically is the best manager at getting results on low budgets and was top of this chart in 2006 and 2009 which is possibly the main reason that the Burnley board appointed him. Burnley do not have the cash to splash on big players nor the funds to be able to pay big wages if loan deals are easier to come by. Burnley currently sit in fourteenth place in the Premiership with 20 points, 2 points above Bolton Wanderers, the team that poached Burnleys previous manager Owen Coyle last week, although Bolton do have two games in hand. Whether Bolton and Coyle can make the most of these two games will be very interesting as serious questions will be asked should Burnley survive and Bolton are relegated. If truth be told Burnley are already a success and it has been a delight watching them and hopefully, they will still be around next season, their passion and determination make them a good team to watch and long may that continue regardless of who is at the helm of the club. The best bookmakers currently have Burnley to be relegated at 5/6 and Bolton an interesting 4/1 which will make May a very interesting month as teams get to the business end of the Premiership business.About the Author:
