From The Bee Hole End - The Burnley Podcast

Simon Evans is joined by Andrew Greaves and Darren Bentley to debrief Burnley's 2-2 draw with West Ham United in Nicky Hayen's first competitive game in charge. The lads dig into a spirited second-half comeback led by a Zian Flemming brace. They debate the midfield pairing of Ugo Raghouber and Hannibal, weigh up debutant Max Ellayne and a repositioned Kyle Walker, and argue over whether BruunLarsen and Edwards did enough out wide. There's plenty of optimism about the energy and fight Hayen has instilled, a look ahead to the final two weeks of the transfer window, and a full rundown of the club's sponsorship saga — from the collapsed shirt-sponsor deal to the record-breaking cream kit sales. 

Burnley beat Notts County on penalties to advance in the Carabao Cup but the first competitive game under Nicky Hayen raised questions about whether we still need to bring in some new faces?

The season gets underway on Saturday with the Clarets at home to Notts County in the Carabao Cup. Nicky Hayen will take charge of a competitive game for the first time at Turf Moor. But will the current squad still be in place come September or is the Belgian facing the same mess that Scott Parker had to deal with in his Championship season?
Greavesy, Bodes and Simon are back to give their thoughts on pre-season, the transfer moves and of course that new away kit.....

After a 70-day search, Burnley finally have their man. Andrew Greaves, Chris Boden, and Darren Bentley dig into the appointment of Nicky Hayen — his Club Brugge and Genk pedigree, why he's inheriting the existing backroom staff, and whether this "calculated gamble" can get Burnley firing from matchday one. From Jaidon Anthony's move to Brentford to the loan deals that leave Burnley empty-handed, the panel breaks down who's in, who's out. Plus: why the club's academy conveyor belt has been "bunged up" for two decades.

After an apparent deal to bring Craig Bellamy back to the club as manager fell through at the last minute, Burnley remain without a manager TWO MONTHS after Scott Parker's exit and just 15 DAYS before the club's opening pre-season friendly. What is going on? And what is the solution? The lads interrupt their World Cup fun to take a look at the mess at Turf Moor.

Dave Horrocks, who has worked at Manchester United, Burnley and other top clubs joins Simon, Chris, Tony Dawber and Martin Barnes to take a deeper dive into what the club got wrong this season and what needs to be done next to make sure the Clarets have a brighter future.

Zian Flemming was on target again for the Clarets in a 1-1 draw with Wolves which at least ensured that Burnley didn't finish the season in last place. But most fans will be glad the season is over and thoughts turn to next year in the Championship and the question of who will be the new manager?
Simon and Darren discuss the finale to a dismal campaign with reaction from the Turf from Bodes, JJ and Dawbs.

The Clarets again showed an improved performance under caretaker manager Mike Jackson as they made the Premier League title chasers, the unlikeable Arsenal, work all the way to the end for their three points. VAR was again a talking point but so were some of the individual displays from Burnley as the team again suggested things might have been different this season. But what comes next for the Clarets?

Burnley drew 2-2 with Aston Villa at Turf Moor in an entertaining game which ended with the rare (for this season) sound of applause. The Pod Squad review the game and also speculate about Ben Mee's comments before the match.

Daz is joined by Chris and BBC Radio Lancashire's Gary Hunt for a special episode to discuss the departure of Scott Parker on the eve of the Leeds United game.
