I can imagine Dyche going to Derby. It is only an hours drive away from his home, so he could commute to work and be permanently based with his family.

We know he has no interest in football outside the job and family comes first for him.

He can go whenever he likes for me. I only want a manager here if they want to be here. But Derby are looking like they're going down to League 1.

Amidst all the petty bickering there is a suggestion that the ALK deal is not as close as may have been suggested on Friday.

Would anybody be able to share any more detail on this regardless of which of the crappy tabloids any news may or may not have appeared in.

Thanks.

Today's nixon update... Dyche has spoken to ALK... Contract, targets etc. But also guesses he could be interested in the Derby job.

I can see where others might see higher spending power as the only consideration that Dyche might use in his decision to resign from Burnley and move to pastures new. However, a major disadvantage to every other possible employer must be the job security and amount of control over almost all things BFC - barring the finances, of course! I see no other club that resolutely sticks by their manager through winless runs, at times painful to watch football and a relegation despite having several successful and rewarding campaigns overall (even the 2 promotion seasons and the 50+ point PL seasons were not without periods where we endured periods of total dross.

You manage to find an argument on pretty much every thread and every subject on every thread.
It’s painful

Urrr Frank, they are in the same position as us, awaiting a takeover have a chance of staying up, unbeaten in 3 and I'm no fan of WR

Isn't our Manager awaiting a bonus payment in January (read it somewhere)

Pretty sure we're in a better position, being a division above them.

Yes at the mo

He fills his net every trip, and yet still some hang on every word.
Fair play, its very impressive consistency.
Some try way harder and fail.

Could be 2 divisions above them next season.

I’ve no details as yet but I think that’s the case. It looked all but done by Thursday night too.

But with a potential change in ownership maybe that security will reduce and so the relative appeal of a move away increase

You know who I mean? The person who keeps saying that he won't post on the takeover any more yet can't resist and comes back time after time with supposed inside info that doesn't materialise.

Laws of averages says that he is bound to get something correct eventually!

Garlick is negotiating in the best interests of the club?

He also said there was bound to be some last minute hard negotiations. Which a few totally refuted.

Who knows how close he is to it? Everyone who gets snippets of inside Info are getting 2nd hand info at best, sometimes it's been passed down the line 7 or 8 times. You rely on trust.

Someone else on this thread, even this morning was stating, ‘Prepare to be surprised’.

Seems like there is someone else you need to make snide comments about as well....although I guess if they post enough too, they’re bound to get something correct.

Do you read this thread, it’s done. Signed.

DJW - Any info. on when this is likely to be rolled out to the masses?

Nowhere else to post, so here is nearest to appropriate!
The salaries the new owners must pick up. Some have been upgraded since, I believe.

Yes I have read this thread, particularly where you keep saying that that you won't post on the subject again.

Seems you have to keep coming back with more little teasers, perhaps in the hope that eventually you can say....."told you so"...

Why don't you just give DJW a break. At once you are demanding concrete information but at the same time putting down the only person that has provided any.

Been informed from a reliable source, it's not done. It's not signed.

I've just removed some unacceptable posts on this thread and I'll tell you they are from BOYSIE, Stockbrokerbelt and safron.

I know what I know on the potential takeover, and there is a lot I don't know. I've tried to pass on as much as I can and as honestly as I can. I'm not prepared to put up with some of the comments thrown at me on this thread any longer. So I won't be commenting again but if I see any other posts that are becoming personal, aimed at me or anyone else, those posters won't be posting on this board again. If it continues, I'll be left with no option but to limit this board to the times when a moderator is available, for the rest of the time it will be closed down.

So do me a favour will you? Either post with some decency and respect or clear off.

Not a moment too soon either. Quite a few similar posts aimed at DJW that I expect you will be removing shortly?

I am busy right now and I only saw the ones aimed at me because someone kindly reported them. If you do likewise then I'll be alerted and I will deal with them. And I'll also be keeping an eye on posters who choose to like these personal posts because that's equally unacceptable. I know I'm guilty at times but what I've just had to remove is absolutely ridiculous. I thought it was bad enough last night, being called a liar because I had an opinion on a player.

What on earth is going on, both with the takeover and with the people on this board?

I think too many people have too much time on their hands with all that is going on. I've had some pretty serious personal insults and insinuations thrown at me in the past and only last night too. When that happens it is very difficult to let it slide even though i know it is better to. FWIW I enjoy any titbits of info off anybody who has the fortune to know inside info. How we compute that is not your fault Tony and neither is it DJWs. There are no sides here..well there certainly shouldn't be.

Agreed, take it on board , whatever info it is, wether you like it or not don’t go on the attack! Ask questions yes, hurl abuse no! Remember these people don’t have to give out any info at all.

I’m not interested in who knows more than who if anything at all, I’m just interested in Burnley football club, that’s why I come on this forum.

I think because the whole thing seems to have been tantalisingly close to completion for most of last week and short of a formal announcement was apparently done and dusted, people have got very giddy, especially as every time you click on this thread right now you expect there to be the post which says TAKEOVER COMPLETE! And now sadly, we get hints that all may not be well! Impatience makes people fractious, unfortunately!

It’s widely known that Claret Tony is in communication with the club more often than most who post on here. He probably has more info than most but some posters clearly don’t and are saying certain things will happen that then don’t and keep doing this. They are ruining the thread for others.

Boysie's post was completely unreasonable. I'd suggest it's time to start permanently banning troublemakers rather than putting restrictions in place to the detriment of everyone.

TINNIES!!!

Approaching 100 pages

As a very regular reader of , but not poster to, this vital message board for Clarets fans I am horrified at the way it has gone downhill in the last few months. I had hoped that the limitations to football related matters, which I have to say that I strongly supported, would have acted as a wake up call. But I was wrong.
It surely must be clear to everyone that CT is reaching the end of his tether. Please, please stop and ask yourselves where this would be without his enormous dedication. Do you really want UTC to disappear? I would certainly support a 72 hour shut down to give everyone a taste of the alternative and time to reflect.
And before anyone jumps down my throat, I am not a friend of CT. I have met him on one occasion only.

Most of the threads go downhill . Same with the transfer thread . Users end up arguing with each other and going off the subject completely

Agreed 100% I took a break from the board during the initial lockdown due to the pointless childish bickering mostly over how someone had interpreted stats on the COVID thread. This thread which is also very important to us all although I would suggest not quite as important as the COVID one which got ruined is also heading that way.

Anybody posting abuse even if in response to someone else should get a warning and then banned for a period and then eventually banned permanently if they carry on.

Anyway apologies not the point of this thread.
