I think you are spot on Tony
The Premier league are struggling with their fit and proper person concept
Hopefully, our much needed investment will be sorted much quicker

Maybe that's why they pulled out of the deal to buy Newcastle.....

Steddyman

I'd be suprised if we signed anyone, but if we do it will be Deeney and/or Dawson. That transfer has got Mike Garlick written all over it.

Steddyman

More chance of signing Tommy Robinson.

Steddyman

I really, really hope I'm wrong but I've thought for a while now that today could be his final game as manager. There is clearly a major issue at the club now between manager and chairman. He's had another little dig this week about never having a budget. I would not be at all surprised if he didn'...

Steddyman

I don't think Sean would go for it. He's seen bad run's with Burnley and knows as soon as he has his first one with Watford, he will be gone.

Look on the bright side it won’t cost you a penny and you don’t have to watch us.

Why do you think I won't have to watch us?

I've been a season ticket holder for 15 years (including family) and don't intend to stop now. It frustrates me, but it won't ever stop me supporting the clarets.

You can tell there us an upcoming transfer window with you posting.

I suspect you will be wrong about zero transfers.

What's telling is you only 'suspect' I am wrong.

In fact I'll correct myself, it won't be 0, it will be -3 (which is what it is now).

Steddyman

I suspect Burnley 0 will be there until the end.

Steddyman

Never happening.

Steddyman

We probably voted to skip it this year.

Steddyman

There are already several like that on the board, (That's why we're so well run.) so I'm sure that eventually, we'll find another one. There's no great rush with the team doing as well as they are. Unfortunately, that is just how Mike will see it. He has a bench full of kids, but that's fine, we ar...

Steddyman

Unfortunately, what the last 3 performances have proven is he can just as easily win on a shoestring budget.

I doubt Mike Garlick has any ambition above not being relegated.

Steddyman

Dark is fantastic on Netflix. One of my top series of all time.

Steddyman

"That's with the chairman at the moment. I've offered what we think is appropriate, and so has Mike Rigg" That doesn't sound like Dyche and Rigg are pulling in the same direction....or am I reading too much into it :D Got to be said, the rest of it sounds like things may have calmed down behind the...

Steddyman

I have no reason to disbelieve you/this but why would Dyche be so critical of the board if he thought new owners were coming in. Perhaps it is an attempt by Dyche to put pressure on Mike Garlick to accept a takeover so have to get a bigger transfer kitty, and to get the fans on side for a new owner?

If you take what Nixon is saying, plus this article, then the board are actively seeking outside investment.

Let's hope so. If not, we know where we will be in 10 years.

Steddyman

Mike Rigg. Kindly do one, you have no business upsetting this apple cart. Why do you assume the current unrest with Sean is anything to do with Mike Rigg? It isn't. His problem is with Mike Garlick and Mike Rigg will be doing exactly what he was brought into do and identify both new players and new...

Steddyman

The argument that there are lots of clubs that have had big investment and below us in the league, are invalid. There are just as many teams above us that have had big investent. One does not correlate to the other. Also, this isn't about taking Burnley to the next level, it is about sustaining our ...

Steddyman

Wow Rigg has gone from having next to no influence in the one area he is supposed to have responsibility for, to choosing our next manager. Forgive me if I am looking at the sniff test here. That was one of his roles when he was employed, His job is recruitment and succession planning. Also, a few ...

Steddyman

I didn't vote for Boris and thought he was an incompetent buffoon. His first Coronavirus response (herd immunity plan) was a disaster and everything i've come to expect from him. However, every day since that first press conference he has impressed me. He listened to experts and immediately changed ...

Steddyman

Chuffed to bits for the lad that he got his chance, and that he took it.

The reaction of all the other players showed how much they like him.

Phil Bird also tweeted that he was chuffed for him and that he was a good lad.

Steddyman

We need outside investment and quick. The last two years of transfers has shown us that Mike Garlic alone cannot financially support the club to maintain our Premier League status.

Steddyman

Increasingly Very little of any significance happens in January. There’s some absolute dross bought and sold (at inflated prices and wages) by some panicky sides like villa, West Ham and the whole window can be summed up by united getting Idahlo (sp). Come the end of the Summer window: "Increasingl...

Steddyman

We'll let him go with no replacement

Steddyman

I don't know if he's good enough or not, but I'm glad we've actually signed somebody.

Let's hope he isn't the only addition.

don’t start me off on the whole “bigger club” malarkey - West Ham are not a bigger club, there are no “bigger clubs” outside the top 6-8 clubs - and West Ham are not one of them.

If they have 10x our budget for player aquisitions, then they are a bigger club.

Steddyman

Losing Hendrick on a free would be a loss, despite what the whipping boys say he is important to us as he plays multiple positions without grumbling and works ever so hard for the side. I too agree that if we know he is leaving already , that Brownhill. If he signs, will be Hendricks replacement . ...

A done deal according to TeamTalk. I’ll believe it when BFC confirm it.

No, bizarrely it means I thought something was funny. Obviously a little over excited at the thought of a signing. Spat my drink out when I heard it, I’d given up for the day.

No Linkey, No Likey

And Barnes.. Possibly Gibson.. Very much weaker

I'm also seeing reports that Celtic want Hendrick too.

Steddyman

Why ? Wells has been on loan for 1.5 seasons so difficult to suggest the squad is weakened. Yes we lost Drinkwater but he played about 60 minutes and was a poor, misjudgment of a signing. Doesn’t it leave us pretty much where we’ve been since August ? In addition, fanciful to suggest that the messa...

Boden: Wells to Bristol City likely to be done before deadline. Nothing to report with regards to Brownhill. https://twitter.com/bodenknights/status/1222585486906142723?s=21 I'd tell them it's £20 million unless they deal on Brownhill. Why do we always let every other club lead us around by the nos...

Vedat Muriqi on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orE-vP-hy6k Looks like an SD style player. Some goals, some good assists(holds it up well), tackles but I’ve never seen a highlights package with as many misses. Looks a powerful player, but he missed a lot more than he scores based on that v...

Not watched it yet, but I read the book.

It is a continuation in the style of my favourite Stephen King books, Mr Mercedes. Mr Mercedes is also on amazon via the StarzPlay service. It is very faithul to the books.

That was a great performance. Well played everyone. Jay was immense. Ran all match and closed down loads. I noticed two other changes since we started winning: 1. We are prepared to fall over when tapped. We might as well since teams have been doing it to us all season. 2. We are committing men forw...

Steddyman

Not sure if this is already posted or not. Sounds promising given todays news on Wells.

Do you think they could have got the words ‘Premier League Strugglers’ into the article some more?

I'm not on drugs!........But you have been a continuous Whiner on here for weeks now...I haven't seen much "constructive criticism" as much as i've seen continual criticism! It's far more constructive to want the club to sign players and move the team forwards than it is to accept everything Dyche ...

Unfortunately most of the regular contributors to this board are just miserable human beings looking for any reason to complain or whinge. Its just their inherent nature. The same ones complaining about the attempts to control the financial side of the club would be the first ones crying if we went...

If Wood doesn’t make the weekend, at least that might force Dyche to give the striker we have all been wanting him to play a chance.

Kevin Long.

Steddyman

Still no Vydra,we might as well cash in on him if Leeds are still interested,good to see Koiki make the bench. For me, this shows Sean's greatest weakness. Other managers have teams thrown together by recruitment teams and Football Directors and still manage to get them playing well together. This ...

I’m no racist and didn’t want Brexit (the two are linked), but I agree the number of idiots parking close to junctions all over Colne road is the reason for these accidents. I’ve had to pull out of my road a number of times with cars parked leading into the road making it impossible to see past.

LG OLEDs are the best. The LG OS is the old Web OS from palm and is the most feature rich interface on a TV.

Stay clear of the sub £500 lcds though, they’re awful.

Not going to come here to sit behind Bardsley though is he? Anyone who comes in is unlikely to start before the Norwich FA Cup game. I would say the most important things to sort first are a Centre midfielder and a Right Winger. I would like to see SOMEONE LIKE Phillips at Leeds (obviously won't be...

And like normal, he'd be right. Let's start a Dyche to Norwich thread

I wouldn't be surprised to see Dyche call it a day at the end of the season whether we stay up or go down. We are in a Catch 22 situation. He is our perfect manager, but we won't (rightly so) spend £90k a week on a big name (who won't accept a 50% pay cut on relegation). So unless Rigg starts unear...
