When did we sign Twine and Ballard. I must have missed something

Or you’re being purposely obtuse?

arise_sir_charge

By the way, the edit function on this site is rubbish.

arise_sir_charge

I can't get too excited about most of these proposed signings. To me anyway they are mostly unknowns, mostly no experience in first teams or The Championship, and don't look like players that can give us the capabilities to return to The Premier League at the first attempt. Couple that with the los...

arise_sir_charge

Its really good to see the speculation, but are the prospective new signings better than the players they may replace? Are they better than Tarks, Ben, Nick etc. For a couple of million each, probably not at the moment. However I welcome the fact that we are purchasing potential. But let's not get ...

Intrigued by this rumoured clause on the Ballard deal: “The player is scheduled to have his medical, with the player valued so highly by his current club, they could insist on a clause where they could match any potential bids in future from other clubs should Ballard impress with the Clarets.” I’v...

It really p!sses me off the disrespect SD gets from the moaning minnies. Twice he got us promoted playing some wonderful football with plenty of goals and sound defence. He gets us into the PL where our players are not of the highest quality goes pragmatic and makes us hard to beat and they bleat e...

It won’t be Everton and I doubt it will be the Premier League until less it’s a Big Sam “try and save us” mission. If he was going to get a big job like Everton it would have happened when he had us in the top 7. Have you ever seen a clamour from fans of any premier league team with a vacancy say “w...

Rumours on Twitter Twine going to Hull

I’ve no idea if Twine will come to Burnley or end up elsewhere but it looks looks Joey is believing an account that is someone pretending to be a Turkish journalist who studied in Hull and has a profile photo wearing a fez.

arise_sir_charge

I read it somewhere earlier, not sure where though now!

arise_sir_charge

Bumping this as the bickering has started again on the other thread.

Wallace gone to WBA, 4 year deal which I think would have ruled is out.

Bigger club, I think BHA in for Twine also which Nixon says might make it difficult for us.

arise_sir_charge

I think it’s Brighton.

arise_sir_charge

Let’s be honest there are plenty of unproven managers that tear it up (Dyche/Coyle) and others that are proven promotion winners but fall flat on their face (Hughton @ Forest, Bruce @ Villa) and so it’s impossible to say who’s best placed in that regard. Ultimately new managers emerge and old ones r...

Have just tried to become a member of Lowerhouse CC on their website but there is no facility to do that.

I think there is good reason for this thread really. I am sure fees and what not need to be included (along with whether a transfer is 'good value' or not), but as we see on other threads - and I hold my hand up in being part of those discussions - the actual chatter on transfers gets held up by th...

arise_sir_charge

Joking apart (and please don't take it seriously arise sir charge) it does show how hard it is to talk about transfers without talking about the financial side of stuff Not really, it stands to reason that you need to talk about fees when discussing transfers. It’s part and parcel of a transfer and...

We dont " need " to sell Collins but we took a low offer for Pope because we needed as much as possible up front ... can they both be true ? I think the sentence is a little ambiguous. I think it’s more a case of we are resigned to losing Pope so the best case scenari for us is as much ‘up front’ a...

arise_sir_charge

It would, be nice for us to get a deal or two over the line before weekend or the Pope news is confirmed, maybe today is the day for this one.

arise_sir_charge

When discussing the merits and faults of Josh Brownhill you also have to consider the system (framework) that he has been asked to play since he joined us. Our system was restrictive beyond belief at times. You could often hear SD shouting “Shaaaaaape”. As someone said earlier this year that framewo...

arise_sir_charge

That’s more like it and a bit more focus on the actual players.

Must admit amidst all the nonsense I’d forgotten a number of them, some of which seemed strong when first mooted like the lad from Blackpool.

Our first summer signing will likely be in that list.

So are we just talking about possible "Free Transfers" on this thread seeing as no financial talk is allowed

Try reading the opening post Bosscat.

arise_sir_charge

I’m going to this a go, it might work, it might not. However whilst I appreciate football transfers involve finance, let’s try having a discussion thread where it doesn’t descend into “we are skint and desperate” and “it will pay off the loan” plus all the other noise that seems to follow any rumour...

Have I read something different to everybody but Elwa, it doesn’t sound to me like it’s a certainty that it’s lost. Also the other point which is well made above, I wonder whether we’d have secured CAT 1 in the first place if it wasn’t for Covid ie we’ve been operating a model we believed to be suff...

arise_sir_charge

Yeah and that is probably the case as it’s the only reason anyone would take such a pathetic figure for a player like Nick Pope. If that is indeed the case, what a shambles of a situation. Don’t know what’s got into you recently Jedi. You’ve gone from a level headed thoughtful poster to a bit of a ...

arise_sir_charge

In that sense, I’d say we’re the perfect step up for him; one league up, likely to be challenging at the top of the table so should get plenty of chances to impress, decent PL-experienced players around him, may get his shot at the Prem with us after establishing himself in the team and, if not, kn...

Cue.......another five pages of bickering about the debt!

BEYOND TEDIOUS!

It’s actually worse than that, they are arguing based on assumptions by people of which a good few ah e already been wrong.

Anyway let’s get back on topic, again.

arise_sir_charge

I can’t comment on that…..Lowerhouse sent Shawn Flegker the pro out as a runner for Matt Hope on at least one occasion.

I believe some of the much younger kids have been invited into an initial 25 for today also.

Spotted Shapcott walking through the Grove about 12sh, was hoping he’d be on.

He was definitely on, must admit I didn’t see much of him but he came through the gate.

arise_sir_charge

And yet we all sang “4 more years anti football”.

Strange world isn’t it.

arise_sir_charge

You might be right Fishy, but I actually think it’s a lot sadder than that. I think it’s more of a case that certain posters support teams that now languish in the bottom division and don’t win many and so they have to take pleasure in other teams losing. I know it’s all a bit pathetic but I say liv...

Try social media for updates. It’s easy enough and some clubs even do over by over.

arise_sir_charge

It matters not what Alan Pace says or even does.

He’s the devil incarnate to many on here.

It’s a bit said really but so be it.

arise_sir_charge

I would say that right now he is a talker. You have to actually do things to be a doer. He’s saying all the right stuff, time will tell if any of it is accurate. He’s most certainly a doer, he did what nobody expected and sacked Dyche to try and keep us up, that was a huge call. He’s gone out and g...

arise_sir_charge

Fine But its just what we want to hear, and that is both good and a problem I want him to be honest about the financial situation and what his plans are, and if his only plan is to get back into the premier league before it all falls apart, then at least I'll know* *I think everybody knows that is ...

arise_sir_charge

I find the whole “pope won’t concede in the championship” and “Hennessy will be really good at championship level” thing quite bizarre. Dropping down a division doesn’t really change the quality of the shots coming the keepers way. What I mean is don’t expect Pope or Hennessy to look much better th...

arise_sir_charge

When you read these threads you’d think that Magic Mike had been kidnapped, handcuffed and forced to sell the thing he held so dear, against his will. The reality is of course much different and the sooner the anti Pace brigade get their heads round it, the sooner we can all move on. Will what has h...

arise_sir_charge

I'm comfortable with both tbh I'm completely lost on the MSD thread, but I know enough to get that we had x in the premier league, and we owe Y, and that our income is now W and then will be Z, and that our outgoings will have to drop each season to match those figures, and that is even before you ...

Yeah, we need someone to post a bulls**t rumour they have heard from someone who works with Pace grandmother

Get with the program everyone

Correct. Beats a bullsh*t rumour or wild assumption about the finances every day of the week.

arise_sir_charge

Also, this is a transfer thread, there are plenty of other threads to talk about MSD etc etc etc etc so let this one get back on track.

arise_sir_charge

How do you not know we still owe Garlick money? simple maths from the accounts and reported sale price isn't too difficult, not to mention the fact Pace literally confirmed instalments were in place with the outgoing directors. With respect my comment was a direct reply to this sentence…” MSD news ...

MSD news is great but isn’t there still a large installment to be paid to Garlick this summer?

I don’t know, is there? Not sure anyone on here knows.

arise_sir_charge

We will have a price for every player. We always have.

I’m confident through that price won’t be £12m.

Does anyone even know about the MSD news away from this board?

Not one mention in any local or mainstream media.

Funny that.

People in football will.

The likes of Talskhite aren’t interested as it’s not sensational.

arise_sir_charge

I can believe Newcastle want Pope, I can’t believe we will only get £12m from the worlds richest football club. If hey want him they will have to pay up.

One of the benefits of the MSD news is that it shows clubs we don’t need the fire sale some were predicting.

arise_sir_charge

Was going to say who cares?

I did post the other day though to say that whilst I’m not convinced it was work permit related comparing how quickly JDT got his work permit with how quickly VK got his is pointless unless they are both coming via the same country.

arise_sir_charge

Slightly bizarre that he would formally agree to take a post at Tottenham and then decide to come to Burnley once he found out Kompany was definitely going to be in place. It's almost as if Kompany wasn't an iron clad guarantee awaiting nothing but the formality of a work permit for the best part o...

You wonder why this board has deteriorated but it’s things like this. Just stop him posting, save everyone the obvious future hassle.

arise_sir_charge

I agree that would be a fairly standard agreement yet there was no indication of that in the Offer Letter to the small Shareholders which you received and I don't know if such an agreement would change the payment due this month - when the accounting/footballing year was in the Premier League I sup...

Are we sure we still owe Mike Garlick that much?

I’d be surprised if the value of what he was entitled to had not reduced with relegation. That’s fairly standard practice in business purchases.

To save trawling through the last 4 thousand plus threads....is there any factual evidence out there that VK is to be the next manager.
The only fact that I am aware of is that he has left Anderlecht and is now available to manage a club elsewhere.

FFS. Painful.
