For some reason, I never uploaded it here but this is my showreel from a couple of months ago!
Always looking for broadcasting work in TV or radio or social👇 #journalism #showreel
Fabio Celestini took Basel from the bottom of the Swiss league to the title in just 18 months.
Sounds like another attack-minded coach with no Championship experience but clear what ALK are thinking if they go here.
Would be another risky appointment though… #twitterclarets
EXCLUSIVE: Understand former Basel coach Fabio Celestini is emerging as a strong candidate to become Burnley's new head coach.
CoF Diego Lopez playing key role in process.
50yo left CSKA Moscow at end of last season.

MINI MANAGER THREAD
Nicky Hayen replacement should have two key characteristics:
- Pragmatist
- Championship experience
My three go-to options who are currently out of work:
🥇 Carlos Corberan
🥈 Steve Cooper
🥉 Paul Heckingbottom
#twitterclarets
🥈 Steve Cooper
✅ Took Forest to Prem from a very similar to position to Burnley one atm
✅ Worked under Maranakis & managed Leicester for a few months - no stranger to chaos
✅ Brings the Parker warmth - which might suit squad
#twitterclarets
🥉 Paul Heckingbottom
✅ Knows the region, feels relatable to average Burnley fan; close ish w the Dyche mould
✅ Underrated job with Sheffield United and (at times) with Preston
❌ Found it hard to get out of bad form, bailed out by season ending twice

Can’t be an attacking idealist with an intrinsic high-risk plan when the fundamentals around him aren’t right. Feel for Nicky Hayen. Doesn’t define him as a coach.
Carlos Corberan stands out as an option now. Pragmatist with Championship experience needed. #twitterclarets
#PNEFC might go down but that was a hard-fought effort today. Much better than capitulations of recent matches. Need more of that throughout the season. Only way Preston survive is with bravery and hard work; quality might not be there but quality noting w/o the basics anyway.
He’s not wrong. Antonio Conte is of my favourite football managers because he’s brilliant and crazy. He’ll perform miracles and then set the house on fire; a flawed genius.
Loved @JamesHorncastle from his time on the European Football Show as well. An elite watch back in the day
Should Antonio Conte be Manchester United's first choice to replace Michael Carrick? 🤔

The Burnley squad having such a vast mix of profiles makes it so hard to play with a front-foot style. There are square pegs in round holes & round pegs in square holes with no respite in goal as neither keeper cuts the mustard. Feel for Nicky Hayen; it's a mess. #twitterclarets
Sadly, for Nicky Hayen, a squad without a clear set of profiles means that implementing his desires style consistently is going to be pretty tough and, at the moment, it's looking nigh-on impossible. Disarray like this lends itself far better to pragmatistists. #twitterclarets
Something beautiful about Jamie Vardy, the ultimate wind-up merchant, rolling back the years to fire Burnley ahead just before his 40th birthday. It’s like a match made in Heaven! #twitterclarets
Burnley’s current state is a sound reminder of how good 22-23 Vincent Kompany was. 16 players came in. 13 players left. Many of the players that came in were new to English football.
101 points and exhilarating football despite the summer chaos.

Feel for Nicky Hayen. Reminds me a bit of when Ruben Selles replaced Chris Wilder at Sheffield United. He went after 6 games. Derby game make or break.
If it’s break, I genuinely think Burnley should consider going back to Sean Dyche. Order amid the chaos. #twitterclarets
