2007–08 Burnley F.C. season

They were managed by Steve Cotterill in his fourth full season since he replaced Stan Ternent at the beginning of the 2004–05 season. He was sacked on 8 November 2007 after a poor run of results and replaced by Owen Coyle. Caretaker manager Steve Davis was put in charge of first team duties for the match against Leicester City on 10 November 2007.
