Burnley announced this as a four year deal this morning, they’ve now changed it to three years. You would hope the club might have got that right.

I’ll go and change it now on here.

Did you ever get a crack round the head off him? That bloody hurt and his hand covered a teenage lads head in one.

More than once I’m afraid and it definitely hurt.

Harwood-Bellis is undergoing a medical today and signing on loan though.

Is he really?

Indeed. I haven't been as excited since Paul France and Ian Bray arrived in such quick succession.

Good bloke is Paul France - at Barnsley now

Won't do them much good with Mee now!

No, but they made a bit more on Tripps.

Any idea on how much compensation we've paid?

A few hundred grand but I suspect City will have done what they did with Kieran Trippier & Ben Mee, allowed a low figure but with a huge sell on percentage.

Assume that this means Nathan Collins is intent on leaving?
I hope not

Not sure why you should think that.

Loving the speed of business from us at the moment. The pieces are coming together.

This one has been left until today given he was now out of contract at Man City

Wonder what fans of the likes of Halifax and Hereford who started watching football in the 80s have made of our relative fortunes since then? Wonder if they viewed us a big club (or sleeping giant back then)? I remember talking to some Hereford fans after a 3-3 draw against them on the Turf in 1989...

Any club in particular come to mind Tony ?

Clubs like Palace who were in the 4th division when I started watching football so to me they are a small club. I suppose that should mean I think we are a big club.

ClaretTony

I believe Shrewsbury are, however, going ahead with their game, but their captain will be wearing rainbow laces. Should we now boycott our game with them? https://www.shrewsburytown.com/news/2022/june/salop-to-play-qatar-sc-in-spain-and-host-burnley-on-july-15th/ Shrewsbury have now called their ga...

Sometimes a club can seem a big club based on where they are in the league when you start watching football.

Looks like I’ll be booking a couple of hours off on that Friday then!

See you at Shrewsbury jedi

ClaretTony

Just been told that he's trending on Twitter. :) Thanks for lifting the gloom at Port Vale that time. Peace be with you. I’m trying to imagine his reaction to him trending on Twitter - it would probably have brought with it a barrage of bad language. I doubt we will see the likes of him again.

Is there any suggestion we might find an alternative match for that day? I was really looking forward to it!

Nothing - just going to play the one public game at Shrewsbury

ClaretTony

I might be wrong but I think that’s Northampton (a) final game of the season and we relegated The Cobblers. He was ejected but ended up on the hill dancing, much to the delight of us all in the away end. RIP Rocky - You’ll always be a Claret! It was the previous season under Waddle when we won 1-0

Wasn't he a body builder in his youth sporting a fantastic physique ?

Yes, a body builder and he had hands like shovels.

Our statement doesn’t say it’s our request though, only “beyond our control” which makes it sound like it is Burton that’s cancelled it

I know, and it's only on Burton's website where it's reported that it is at our request.

Couple of pics - one with Rockette at Cork in 2013 and then the one on a searing hot day in Italy in 2006 when he was suffering from sun stroke.

Very frail, and I believe he suffered a heart attack overnight.

Just heard the sad news that Rocky (Derek) Mills has passed away overnight. I believe he was close to his 79th birthday.

ClaretTony

No one better than Harry Potts I'm told and Jimmy McIlroy once told an audience at the Turf that he would go down if he thought he could get a penalty.

ClaretTony

I'm really pleased for both of them. Both had injury issues, come through them and got contracts now with a league club. Both have played there before too. Really good to see the number of players from our academy now involved with league clubs.

the first time I ever so him play was at Wembley in 1972. A packed house too. England v West Germany schoolboys.

When the 2019/20 season was suspended, I started the new feature looking at all the past Burnley managers and the feature ended with Eddie Howe. It now needs an update, and so today we have Terry Pashley who was in charge for three games following Howe's departure. See link https://www.uptheclarets....

I doubt he'd have made those comments in 2020 had Teasdale still been with us.

I have to say I find some of the 'conspiracy theory' type of opinions on Dyche to be utterly bizarre. He actually copmlained about being pigeon-holed as an "old-fashioned" manager. We've never had such an in depth analysis team or a fitter squad with better medical care. Dyche is in the past now bu...

His head ruled his heart in 1997 with no word from Teasdale but it was heart ruling head when he spoke about it two years later.

I’m absolutely agreeing we should support the players recovery and pay for any treatment, etc. I said that immediately when he got injured. It’s just the actually continuation of his salary until he recovers I can’t get my head around. It's not a matter of should support, we have to, it's a FIFA ru...

The original founder's of Haffners were German

George Haffner was the founder of the company in Burnley but I'd no idea that he was German. His direct descendent now owns the company.

I doubt very much Long will start. What's the big deal in McNally stepping up a division? Peter Noble and Frank Casper had no problems stepping up a division. Noble had already played top flight football when he signed for us while Casper had over 100 league games under his belt when we signed him.

ClaretTony

I entirely agree with us supporting his recovery, but not paying him a huge salary when he was out of contract. We’re talking tens of thousands of £ a week and it’s often a players choice not to sign an extended contract (Tarks, Mee, in our case but it’s commonplace), specifically so that they can ...

If he's been offered terms, I'm really surprised he's not accepted unless they are pretty poor wages. He must be in a pretty difficult position with his injury as he's need to prove his fitness to prospective employers. All that was said was that the club were in discussions. I believe that he woul...
