Who would you keep?

Not Wayne

I have to admit I was 50/50 on keeping him at the start of the season, but gradually as the weeks have rolled by it's around 70/30 in favour if possible, for getting rid. I've no doubt his heart is in the right place and he genuinely wants to succeed but his lack of understanding of tactics and man management skills are sadly letting him down. This group of players for what ever reason simply do not want to perform for him and no amount of getting on the training pitch is going to solve that problem. If the dressing room is lost then frankly it's curtains for whoevers in charge. That said, it's not entirely all Wayne's fault either, the board did nothing to dissuade Scotty and Luke from leaving the club and nearly half of our current team need to take a long look at themselves to justify being called pro footballers. It unfortunately doesn't get any easier for us as our next two home games are against the top two sides in the league! Sandwiched in between is a trip to Wimbledon who are no mugs either it would seem. I don't think we need to worry about Rnd 2 of the FA Cup as Mr Ellison will put paid to that on Tuesday. Hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it somehow.

Not sure why you are blaming the board for Scott Doe and Luke Howell moving on both were Burnetts Fault. Doe was always going to leave after the way Koko treated him last season drop after one mistake was frozen out for several games until he worked out Saah was the actual Problem and Doe spent the first three months covering his arse.

Howell left because he was offered a reduced contract by the manager, the manager is given a budget and chose to offer Luke less money even though his wife had just given birth nice one Koko. How we could now do with both players now in this scenario.

Because financial decisions should be made on the family situation of the player. I'd have kept Luke absolutely but don't talk stupid.

That isn't what was said though was it. Don't talk stupid.

The whole handling of how Howell ended up leaving is just another example of how Burnett fails to properly deal with players.

Re Luke Howell having a family. Aren't The Daggers a family club? I thought this was one of the ways that we believed in family values.
I agree that it shouldn't be a reason to automatically increase a players wages, but it should be taken into consideration. That is how you demonstrate family values and encourage loyalty. Burnett well and truly messed up here, if what everyone has said is true.

The word is that Wayne told Howell that he could get a better player for less money. I'm bound to ask why he hasn't.

Unfortunately Wayne seems to judge ability on pointless stats like pass completion rather than important ones like tackles made, miles covered, and less quantifiable ones like heart.
