ALL Burnley fans would love us to invest billions on buying Mbappe, De Bruyne, Sancho, Pele.BigChaCha wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 8:11 pmOnly would Burnley fans, root for the consortium who are rumoured to be looking to spend much less and look closer to our business model which is spending as little as we can possible get away with!
I've noticed it's the exact same people who have had their head in the sand when it comes to realising that the board have completely given up on our Premier League status for at least the last 3 transfer windows.
Spending 'much less' is relative. Despite the massive TV money feeling like a leveller in the premier league, we are still way, way down the income table in terms appearance/position and match day income, making slips more amplified (for slips read a year of non-champions league vs relegation to championship).
Thus, some fans with their head in the sand would prefer not to be in league 2 in two years, as despite only seeing grains of sand in front of their eyes, we will still be aware that Sunderland, Southampton, Leeds, Bl**kb**n, Wigan, Portsmouth, Stoke, etc were never as indebted as potentially Burnley could be in 2022 had we lifted our heads and said "go for 6th place" and trust the anonymous backer number 1/2/3 who will sp*nk cash forever before they buggered off leaving us in the poop.
