Come on Jacob Brun Larsen!

Pretty certain that club has obligation to buy Esteve. Loan signing because we lack height in other defenders. No reason why he can't develop with Burnley. Fofana has only played a few games for Chelsea. Fans I know there say he's "hit and miss." He's grabbing his chance with Burnley. Of course, clu...

Evening all, Does anyone have any tips on driving to West Ham (apart from 'don't do it')? Thinking train or underground but any ideas where is best to leave the car and get on public transport please?

He has been getting stick for spending 3 days a week at home in Cornwall.

Not the easiest commute

Flight, Exeter or Bristol to Aberdeen. Not too difficult.

I have a spare adult ticket.

I'll be at game.

Spare for £15 cash.

I'll give cash to Hughie and Freddie charity. I understand they may be at the game.

Of course it's e-ticket.

Reply here. Exchange outside ground, away entrance.

Inspiring and enjoyable Podcast by 4 representatives of Burnley FC on YouTube. It starts with one of the 4 asking "What was your earliest childhood memory in sport?"

Just received mine a few minutes ago West Ham tickets received in my email box. Time stamp 08:04 this morning.

I was part of the "6th Form Recreation Room Committee" at SMC in Blackburn. The school allowed us to put on one "dance" - is that we called them back in 1970/71/72? - in the school hall to raise funds for things like dart boards (we were all Luke Littlers) and table tennis equipment. We booked a Man...

Hi Paul Yes, the trough I was pointing to was alluding to the point i was making in reply to a comment in this thread wonderig if they have moved past the 'Peak of Mount-Stupid' into the 'Valley of Despair'. OK. I'm pretty sure that Dunning-Kruger is not the way to look at Vincent Kompany's knowled...

Paul Waine

Using that logic - which of the two did Pep actually use in a game and on the bench in numerous occasions? Last time I looked Pep was City's first team coach. Muric is older than Trafford. Wikipedia reports that Muric was called back from a loan to be 3rd goal keeper when one of the other keepers w...

It's interesting actually... I have mentioned on here and in my circles that VK & the board were exhibiting signs of Peak Dunning-Kruger.. maybe now they've moved on.

The issue is the conflict of interest that exists from our manager owning the company which providing player analytics which form the primary basis of our transfer decisions.

How long will it take to learn that Muric is better than Trafford … Given Vincent Kompany used to be City's captain and had a long successful relationship with City. Given that Lee Mooney was City's Head of Data Insights and Decisions Technology since 2015, don't you think that between the two of t...

I like reading your posts Paul and understand why you mention it, but I'm just not sure his father being a Mormon missionary in Lancs is a related positive.

A few chairman new to game didn’t know about relegation from the premier league. So anything is possible.

Alan Pace spent part of his adult life working in London. His father was a LDS missionary in Lancashire. Alan Pace isn't that "new to the game."

Well, if its my sense of perspective that's wrong, I'm delighted. I can't be bothered to read through them all but if it's there I'd select "disappointing". That's it. Hi eddie, "disappointing" is in there. Like you, I haven't read or counted all the words listed. "disappointed" appears earlier rat...

Obviously Pace knows, that isn’t the point. And I don’t think anybody has a problem with Kompany being a director of as many companies as he wants - that’s not the issue. What is the issue, Rileybobs? There's one thing we can all be certain of, Alan Pace and all the other ALK directors and the othe...

MUD Analytics accounts are available on Companies House. The only thing is MUD files micro accounts, just a very limited balance sheet. Micro accounts aren't subject to audit. If people are interested, Vincent Kompany is the director of a number of limited companies that file accounts at Companies H...

It’s quite possible that MUD receive a commission on future sales though isn’t it. And that would be where Kompany’s motives could be questioned with regards to signings and team selections.

Wasn't managers receiving a cut of transfer sales profits "old school" football?

Once again it looks like the Upper Tier plan is the wrong way round. The block currently on sale is right in the corner, directly above our seats in the Lower Tier. Aghh! Picked my seats - or is it all safe standing? - in what I thought was more towards the goal than the corner flag. Oh well, I've ...

In recent years it's been a badge of honour for many on here how well Burnley has done in the money spent/points table. There haven't been many comments this season so thought it would be appropriate to remind people how we have done this season relative to spending. Just at the moment, if tv money...

I have no doubt he is invested but no more or less so than other Chairman. The extent to which he has invested financially is open to conjecture because I don't think anyone knows. Looking at his CV the sums involved seem very large for someone who was a divisional Director of an investment bank pr...

Anyone know what's going on with the Chelsea tickets?

The private bridging loan is the one CP describes above. I don't think it is easier to think that the club could attract £80 million worth of external investment offering no equity and generating no publicity. That is my problem...! 1) I don't think we've seen any information that suggests the £40 ...

Paul Waine

And that to some extent answers all your points above. If ALK can get short term loans of tens of millions then how can you know that they haven't used these kind of loans along with clever financial management to defer inter company loans to the summer of 2023. No to avoid it being published in th...

Was beginning to suspect that, thanks. There's a gap though. ALK £10m, bfc £115m, total £125m. But bfc cost ALK apparently £170m for 84% and now around £190m at 94%. Where does the £45/65m come from, balance from £125m. Or was that £170m just a newspaper headline figure, and wrong. A bit of a puzzl...

Paul Waine

Thanks for this, have had a good look now. So go back to £170m for 84% valuing bfc at £202m. Think you said somewhere, can't find, that ALK now at 94% bought up more shares, that's £190m or thereabouts. Is that financed ALK £10m, Bank £65m, bfc £115m, total £190m. The 'bank' figure has seen various...

Paul Waine

We know that ALK have taken £115m in money out of the club. We know that £65m of this was borrowed by the club at high interest, and the balance was not borrowed. The balance could have come from nowhere else other than money owned by the club. Hi dsr, yes, the club's owners/shareholders owed the c...

I think you've misunderstood here- that's not my argument nor my point, I responded to someone saying that we had 0 money at the end of Garlicks tenure.

Undoubtedly. But to say we "didn't have any money" is pure fabrication.

Equally, missing saying that most of that money was already committed to pay wages doesn't "fabricate" a strong argument that it was all borrowed by new owners to but the club.

Which is the point I made when I posted 'Obviously, the penalty (six points) may or may not not apply but my point remains.'
