Not to me for one because I don't have a clue what we pay in wages and don't want to know. All I know is the final wage bill that is published each year with the accounts. As for people in the club, just listen to Dyche, it's been a constant for months and months now, having little digs about the way we do business. Long before Project Restart, when he complained about players having left, he's been at it. I think the whole world knows now that the relationship between chairman and manager is soured, irretrievably I've been told, and it is surely obvious to most that it is currently damaging our club.
Spot on. Anyone pretending they know what we pay in wages is simply indulging in guesswork. The people responsible for bringing in new players must be given a very clear budget or the whole thing grinds to a halt.

I would like to say I find it very difficult to believe that there is no firm budget, but it's increasingly clear that things are not right.

It would appear to be a very strange way of working, particularly if wanting to keep your workforce happy.

Not providing the parameters in which you expect your highly paid specialists to operate, is bizarre. It’s surely inefficient, unproductive and hugely frustrating for the individuals. Perhaps why we’ve seen Dyche becoming more and more critical.

The more I hear of Garlick’s apparent wish to control every scenario, the more I can see trouble ahead. Why bother with specialist roles if you’re not going to allow them to operate effectively.

I would guess the parameters for basic wages at the top end are around £40k a week. As I say a guess but I'm sure someone will highlight if that sounds way off the mark.

If it's irretirvable it's best that the situation is brought to an end one way or another.

From Mike Garlick himself. “Many of our competitors concentrate on the revenue generating part of the business, often at the expense of the fundamental organizational element. I believe that a strong support team is just as important as a dynamic sales function.''

Seems there's no organisation or support for Sean at the moment. Garlick was very vague in his pre-season statement and Sean has no clue what's going on.

Burnley. Splits in camp over targets and budget. Not helping with any pursuits right now. Rigg coming up with names. No deals close. Yet.

Clear he hasn’t a clue what’s going on.
The bigger problem is neither do the club.

Didn’t Dyche say that he’s never been given a ‘budget’ at Burnley? So it’s never been an insurmountable problem in the past.

It’s not as easy as saying, you’ve got £20m to spend, go and spend it. Firstly that £20m would be caveated by a number of things such as outgoings, wages, sign-on fees, contract length. It is also possible that giving a firm budget in such a way encourages unnecessary spending in order to utilise the whole budget. That information will also get into the hands of people from other clubs and will weaken our negotiating position.

I don’t doubt that we have trouble completing transfers, and I can understand the frustration from our manager and fans alike. But the picture is not as simple as it’s being painted as.

I can say with certainty that the top end of the wage bill during our first PL season in 09/10 was higher than £40k p/w

When we are back shopping in the corner shop basement basket then some of the board will be back in their comfort zone.

Would anyone seriously blame Dyche if he jumped at the first chance he gets?
I certainly wouldn't, its poor do when even the manager doesnt know what the chairmanship plans are, and he seems to want to fiddle around in various areas where he has little expertise.

No one can know if the rumours about budget are true. There's obviously a disagreement between the camps manager, recruitment, board but who's at fault if any, is a guess.
I would find it strange, that a business man like Garlick, isn't aware of the issue SD would have if he doesn't even know how much he can spend. It's a hard enough job without working blindfold, as others have already said, you need to know which pond you can fish in, and I don't believe that Garlick hasn't told SD what the parameters are. I CAN believe that SD might not be happy with those parameters, but that's a different discussion.
It’s more a case that the parameters have very clearly changed and SD now believes that they are impossible to work within the current market.
I am not seeing any other club who have spent less than us and with a first team squad as low on numbers as Burnley.
Fulham and West Brom are favourites to be relegated justifiably because they were both not that great in the Championship last year.
But based on where we are with our squad, the lack of transfer budget we have available then I’d have us down firmly as 3rd favourites to go down.
And I know West Ham looked rubbish yesterday etc etc but I think the position is becoming untenable for SD and that he will go as he will see the writing on the wall and will not want to stay around for the inevitable.

That’s my view right now. - we’d have to sign some decent players in the next few weeks to change that and not lose Tarks, Dwight or Pope before transfer window closes and of course keep SD for me to change that view.

Until this Covid business is over I imagine a club like ours is going only one way, downhill because we will be losing millions in lost revenue and may have to use capital monies (transfer fees) for revenue as it seems none of the Board has a pocket big enough to make up for the lost millions and it will be impossible to plan ahead as we have no idea when normality will return. By the time it does I suspect we will be heading towards or in another Division with different manager and back room staff. A real pity that both ITV Digital and now Covid have knocked the club backwards.

If Sean Dyche and the recruitment team have absolutely no idea about what we can spend on fees and wages then it is utterly shambolic.

Mike Garlick behaving like a spoiled child stands to destroy all that is good and take us back 20 years.

Not affected, just going to start getting rid of a lot more people from this board if things don't improve. I've just posted what my view is on the current situation which might be deadly accurate or a long way from the truth. But something is clearly not right at our club.

Strong words but I’m not as inclined to disagree as I would have been 12 months ago.

I’d expect him to be in overall control of the finances, not in control of every department.

If it’s as bad and you infer, then it really is Armageddon for the club. I’ve said recently that I think the bubble has burst, and I do think that’s the case. It certainly does appear like “rats leaving a sinking ship” with the way some players left (albeit at the end of contracts, but Jeff specifically). Couple that with the perceived view of Tarkowski’s opinion that he wants away.

As fans, let’s enjoy it while we can, and hope it isn’t “irretrievable” as you put it.

It seems to me that mike garlick is much more of a businessman than he is a football fan and is way out of his depth with his understanding of the Premier league. In all my years on this board and the last i could never imagine CT being as critical of the board as he is at the moment and that to me says it all

But there's also a lot of assumptions going on. For all we know, Tarky might be happy to stay. Chris Wood certainly seems happy at the club, he's made it clear from what he's said, that he feels there just needs to be a few new players in the team to strengthen.

What is this, melodrama Sunday (a bit like Ski Sunday but shitter)?

Dyche would have bolted if things were so bad.

It's gone from a bust up about brass (which we know about anyway) to Garlick being like Basil Fawlty.

I blame Man Utd for us not having a game to occupy the mind this weekend.

Agree with you about SD. He must be reasonably okay financially to be able to walk away and wait for a vacancy he could step straight in to. I'm sure he wouldn't have to wait long going on the evidence at West Ham last night.

By listening to what the manager is saying repeatedly.

Something is clearly not right and it has a distinct whiff of the man in overall charge having taken his bat and ball home.

For all that people laud Mike Garlick and the wider board the current situation is clearly a mess and needs resolving quickly.

Not defending Garlick in any way but perhaps he has one eye on the future and the mess Covid is going to cause. The Premier League are already £500 million plus down on the Chinese TV contract. Add that to no fans of any great number in the coming months and I can accept Garlick is reluctant to stretch the clubs finances at this time. Whether he would have done it if we were in normal times is another question.

Match day and season ticket sales shouldn't impact us much as it is less than 3% of our total income but a wage bill upwards of £80 million doesn't leave much left over in these difficult times.

Well going off the evidence, if I had to say anyone was acting like a child it would be the manager, whose constant public snipes at the board have been extremely unhelpful.

How can you substantiate the claim that Mike Garlick is behaving like a spoiled child?
As I said to another similar post, it's Garlick who's got us where we are, competing in the top ten of the PL.

Dyche says not - no budget at all. That is the problem and that's what Nixon has just related to.
Are we believing what nixon says now?

garlick has got us into the top 10 in the pl is probably the most absurd statement ive read on this thread. Sean Dyche has got us into the top 10 despite mike garlick

If things were as bad and dramatic as what's being suggested you'd think there would be major problems among the Board members. Perhaps that's the next chapter. Or perhaps there already are problems but other directors are dealing with them professionally and 'in-house', which is what Dyche should be doing instead of doing it in public at every opportunity.

The problem is it appears we need to sell before we can buy, selling Tark or McNeil would be an insane risk not worth taking imo
In which case if we keep hold of them (and it’s a big IF) and we don’t strengthen then in my view we will very likely be relegated due to the size of the squad and not being able to cope with injuries / loss of form.
The chances of no injuries to key players is vey small given the situation with Ben Mee, JBG, Barnes, Wood etc with some injured right now and some picking up injuries every season.

Well going off the evidence, if I had to say anyone was acting like a child it would be the manager, whose constant public snipes at the board have been extremely unhelpful.
It hasn't seemed to effect what has gone on the pitch. Manager and players are still doing their jobs.

Absolutely, and it appears Dyche’s lack of a clear budget also hasn’t detrimentally impacted his ability to do his job.

You clearly don't realise that the club was on an upward trend thanks to Garlick long before Sean wass appointed, and who appointed Sean?

We took 15 points from our 9 matches after the restart despite having plenty of injuries and players such as Pieters out of position. It didn't affect us too badly.

With more time on my hands than I’d like due to Covid I’m trying to get my head around the stuff posted on here.

We’ve made no bids for anyone except possibly for Worral - who’s injured anyway

Hang on a bid reported this morning for a surprise European player. Dismissed as lowball and a board member saying it’s now very unlikely.

Er. That’s it

In other news:
Respected board member says Chairman and manager fallen out irreparably and suggestion is he’s only hanging on for his January bonus then he’ll be off.

Tarks wants out but no one offering enough yet

Dwight gone says Danieljwaterhouse

Danieljwaterhouse there’s a poster. He says nothing that couldn’t be gleaned from the press dresses it up and makes a lot of statements that don’t pan out. It’s certainly a scattergun approach and inevitably some of it will be correct as it would be from any poster. He’s a big fan of the “Investor”, who we all know about through the conventional press, and suggests Dyche wont leave because substantial investment (at odds with CT version of events) is on it’s way and Dyche wants to be at the “bow” of this ship. I’d rather he was at the Helm personally.
All his posts come with the caveat that he’ll apologise if he’s wrong. Better not to post until you are sure and if you are in the know you will surely be able to explain why it went wrong.
A more sophisticated Marlons pants comes to mind- and I’ll be more than happy to apologise if I’m wrong.
48 pages and counting – couldn’t be more depressing.

I wouldn’t be against selling Pope for £30m to reinvest that into the squad as I think he’s easier to replace but I just don’t see any team willing to pay that for him atm

do you seriously believe any other manager could have achieved what dyche has with or without mike garlick , if so its clearly you who doesnt understand. Sean does football, garlick does finance (allegedly)

Bring back Heaton, simple. Villa are trying to get another keeper in and Tom would return for a couple of seasons before BPF becomes number 1.

We know that he's not a tools down type of chap, but you would think that it would have impacted a little if things were as bad as have been mentioned on this thread this morning.

We also know that Dyche uses the media, not just for Burnley's sake but for his own profile and image. There's part frustration and part putting pressure on the chairman when he's mentioned this in interviews. He also likes to have a bit of fun with it, meaning that not everything is as serious as it may look.

You don’t think SD tried dealing with it in house first ?

From what I have seen in the last 8 years I don’t think there is a more professional and level headed manager in the premier league. He has always been level headed and pragmatic in interviews and many times praised the board for the way the club is run.
This is why it’s telling that he is saying the things he is now. If he is being restricted in doing his job in the way it appears he feels he is then many people in the same position would do the same. He wants to maintain his reputation inside and outside of our club and whilst many people think he has worked miracles I think what he is saying now is he can’t actually do this but don’t blame me as things have changed at the club.

As for there being no problems with the rest of the board - impossible to say either way...other than Garlick when was the last time we heard any of them say anything ? Even if one of them were unhappy I’m not sure what they could say. If they came out and backed Dyche then if I was a board member I’d be asking them to invest more of their own money into the club to give SD what he wants - and very clearly with out current board that is not going to happen. So unless they what to resign from the board themselves then there is nothing from them to say.
