Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
Recruitment team can recommend a thousand players, and get the info on how much they cost and what they’re on.
They don’t sign the cheques though do they?

Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
3 critera
1) are they past their best
2) have they played in the premier league regardless of talent
3) are they cheap and so shite no one else wants them?
sadly we have to wait until 10 mins before deadline to find them

They could find the next Messi, but the man signing the cheques might not allow it.
He wants to decide on everything, even if it's not his field of expertise.
He is the reason we are in this mess, he doesnt want to listen to the miracle worker and the bloke who knows what he is doing.

Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
Hi Macca, it's an expensive business running a Premier League football club. If it was me signing the cheques I'd want a big say in where the money was spent. Now, how does the club owner get the expertise to make those decisions correctly? Or, should he hand over the cheque book to someone who see's his role as spending the money, but not worrying about how much is spent or when the money will run out?MACCA wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 9:33 pmThey could find the next Messi, but the man signing the cheques might not allow it.

Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
I bet thieir contracts aren't allowed to run down
Read the press release earlier of when Mike Rigg was appointed. It says "he will oversee a new LARGE investment programme in growing the talent identification and analysis team at the club"
Mike Garlic said"We feel Mike can identify and hire the best possible talent both nationally and internationally"
Leave you guys to make judgement

He should figure out how much we can afford to spend on wages and fees and communicate those amounts to someone with the expertise to make the decisions correctly. That way the financial decisions are made by finance people and the footballing decisions are made by football people.Paul Waine wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 9:40 pmHi Macca, it's an expensive business running a Premier League football club.

I'm not sure it is a fun challenge - I think it's a common sense model used by football clubs everywhere.

If and when the club gets sold I’d wager that Rigg is the first one to loose his job if we don’t get anyone decent in this window, the clock is ticking, we really do need two players of quality pronto.

I don't think anybody has suggested he hands over a blank cheque book have they? But giving the manager a budget to work with might be start, don't you think?

Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
Looking forward to SD's post match reflection. Before anyone says shut-up he is paid handsomely, he fully deserves it. He has won us 2 promotions and secured us 5 years in the PL with income each of these 5 years in excess of £100m pa.There is also the initial year in the Prem with him. I feel for the guy and dont begrudge him a penny. He IS the club.Who will be motivating him tonight-luckily Kettering is a short journey

Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
I don't know, ksr. I doubt any of us know where the club's finances are at the moment. We all know that Mike Garlick, in early April, spoke about the possible financial impact of covid-19 on the club's finances. None of us, I expect, have direct knowledge of all the contracts with players, both the existing ones and those that left at the end of last season. None of us know what the club's accounts look like for the season just ended, were we in profit or were we already showing losses? (We do know what the previous year's accounts show, but that was the year end 30-Jun-2019). Revenues have taken a hit, but how big is that hit? Costs are up, but how big are these extra costs? Budgets come from knowing the answers to these questions - that's if giving a manager a budget for player transfers and wages is a good idea.ksrclaret wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 9:46 pmThe "club owner" has someone to advise him about football matters that couldn't be anymore qualified for the job if he tried.

Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
I'll tell you who ought to have an answer for all those questions - Mike Garlick. I'd expect an intelligent businessman like him to be able to do a few sums to that end and come up with a plan for moving forwards. I'd then expect him to communicate this plan with his senior leaders.Paul Waine wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 9:58 pmI don't know, ksr. I doubt any of us know where the club's finances are at the moment.

As for the question of "is giving the manager a budget for transfers and wages a good idea", I'll again refer you to the comments of the man who couldn't be anymore qualified to run the football side of things at Burnley FC. He clearly feels he needs to know what his budget is, and that not knowing is causing huge difficulty.

Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
We've been in the premier league for four seasons Paul, and unlike most clubs, have made a healthy profit in the process. Keeping your powder dry as we have so well, should put us in a pretty good situation relative to other clubs. If we're struggling, then you pretty much guarantee clubs with players sat in our budget range are. How are most of the championship doing if we've barely got a senior eleven? Sending one of the best manager's we've ever had to Leicester with a squad that thin is an embarrassment, nothing short of it. It's an insult to the work he's put in, and to the fans who pay their money every week.

Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
I know it's only one example but Hakim Ziyech - fee and terms agreed with FC Twente - then the player/his representatives waited for a more attractive offer to come along and he signed for Ajax
We can identify endless players but in reality unless they are going nowhere in the Championship with little else on offer no-one is going to jump at the chance of signing for us in the first instance if they think they might get a better offer
The result is we tend to pick up the players who don't find something better as the window is about to close
I have no idea whether or not our recruitment team is doing the job it is expected to do - but it's not as simple as saying we are not identifying the right players

Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
The board have had their time. They were comfortable in the championship and early pl days playing the little old burnley line. It just won't do anymore. dyche has brought this club to where it is kicking and screaming. Sell up and let somebody else kick on from here because by doing nothing they are damaging the club no end.

Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
Some seriously unfair and unjust criticism aimed at the Chairman on this thread. Since Covid took hold the Club has been in financial turmoil with severe broadcast rebates and the loss of Suning, a very important overseas rights-holder. All of which has resulted in the Club losing many millions of revenue that had previously been effectively taken for granted. Worse still is the potential for even greater rebates in this coming season.
We took a difficult decision to extend the financial year-end by one month until the end of July, so that the accounts for the 13 month period were completed and audited around three weeks ago. When the outcome of those accounts became apparent I'm 99% certain that Sean Dyche will have been informed that there would be no incoming transfers until one of our crown jewels had been sold. That's where we currently stand, with an ongoing situation that is likely to be resolved during this coming week.
It's been a tough and uncertain time for everyone connected with Burnley Football Club, but be assured there is no more frustrated fan of the Club right now than the Chairman himself. Be patient and see how matters unfolld in the next few days.

Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
The most intriguing post I have seen on here in the past several months. To be clear Roy, and others; I don't blame Mike, or any of the board for where we are at, everyone knows its so difficult guiding Burnley to where we are and they have all, to a man been amazing, great stewards to our wonderful club. However if the time has come that the journey has come to an end, then thats sadly how it is. Its clear we are at a massive crossroads in our history, we need players, if we can not back the manager, I fear we lose him and our place in the best league in the world. We have been so lucky to get right back to the top, through 15-20 years of great leadership, surely now we need to try and maintain it for as long as we can.Royboyclaret wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 11:07 pmSome seriously unfair and unjust criticism aimed at the Chairman on this thread.

Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
So reading between the lines because we have lost projected revenue the board don’t have the cojones to spend a penny. The fact that we have an absolute threadbare squad as it is and won’t add to it without selling is an absolute disgrace. We might aswell pack it in if that’s the case.Royboyclaret wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 11:07 pmSome seriously unfair and unjust criticism aimed at the Chairman on this thread.

Something somewhere is very wrong.
Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
Agreed. I don't think even MG would suggest that we have any chance of staying up when we start the season with such a small squad and lack of options.
Financially we have trimmed considerable money off the wage bill with Lennon / Gibson / Hart / Hendrick all leaving. Yes some of this may have already been accounted for, but football did return prior to August as MG had highlighted would be needed and if the rumours were true we were offering Hendrick a new contract, so there is money to be spent.

Re: do we pay our recruitment team all year round?
If your job was to find someone a new car and they had a £10,000 budget and wanted to pay £100 a year in tax.
You’d find them a car that suits.
It’s blatantly obvious to our fans what our criteria is for players and how much we like to spend on transfers/wages ....even what positions need reinforcements.If it was our job to go and find players then I’m confident in saying we could find some who would fit the criteria given.
