That doesn’t surprise me CT- was that also the period where relationship between the 2 became publicly strained.

This isn’t Sheff Utd’s kit for next season. It’s a one off kit to mark their return to the PL. Only a certain amount were made.

Yeah - I corrected myself on 2 posts down as edit had gone.

clarethomer

Comments on here saying the traditional c&b kits are boring ... What a load of nonsense. The majority of modern kits you see from a variety of clubs with all the flashes, slashes and slodges of weird colours pinks greens silver etc are hideous. Our traditional kits with simple contemporary addition...

We don't have a sponsor - until we do I don't think we are likely to see the shirt.

Ahh - OK - hadn't realised.

Assume the money we can command for the sponsor in the PL is too much for classic football shirts.

I just hope we don't end up with another gambling sponsorship.

Sorry just read more into the comments re the blades kit and its not next seasons - It seems to be a "special edition" to celebrate this season.

Maybe should have been silver striping to represent they came runners up in that case

See Sheff Utd have shown their new kit -

Any idea when we will see ours?

Pope sold for one of the highest fees in premier league history for a keeper over 30. We got market value Agree - we did get an amount that would be considered well within the range of market value - hence why I don't think we sold at fire sale prices. However, we didn't hold out for the biggest fe...

clarethomer

Pope was a proven PL player and England International though, Nathan Tella was superb in the Championship but still to do it in the top league. Pope was not sold at full market value. It was hardly a fire sale price though. I’m sure it was reported that we didn’t want to stand in his way for his ch...

I think that might just be a good guess

Is that a good move in your opinion?

Just watched it for about the 5th time and Im still laughing

clarethomer

Clearly it’s easy to speculate on what the intentions and reasons for the club to not want to push for cat 1 status now. As CT has said, it seems the owners are taking the approach of buying players to develop and you would imagine that goes pretty much hand in hand with youth. Unless I have dreamt ...

It will be interesting to see what happens on the transfer business as I am sure we will be looking at whats out there. I keep getting De-ja-vu when I read things like - not good enough and needing proven X no of goal striker. Pretty much what was said last summer and we have done ok. Clearly PL is ...

Ive said it before - he has two strategies. One is straight in to the City job, the second is to manage Everton, Leeds, Villa, or Wolves as a proving gig for the city job. Why these four? It allows him to be geographically based where he wants to be. He literally moved to us to be next to his wife’...

Out of the two of them, I would imagine Barnes would be the better option for that role.

Anyway, in VK we trust - he’s earned it for sure.

Most likely down to contract situation as both would offer that experience I agree.

clarethomer

Never thought I’d ever say this, but I think we should be looking to move him on. I don’t think there’s enough in his locker to be a threat in the PL. People (including me) were saying that about Barnes not so long ago. His fitness is the issue really. We need experience in the dressing room. May n...

What is your favourite Ashley goal ? Mine is his goal v Wigan when we were promoted, perfect finish to a perfect build up. His goal at West Ham very special as well.

This year against them lot down the road.

The wigan one was a close 2nd though

clarethomer

Had we been in championship next year, I would have bought the annual pass for sure. Hardly has missed a beat in last 4-4 games I have used it for.

Been great and far better than my paid iptv provider who hide behind it being a fault at my end half the time.

Just heard from a very good source Beyer has signed . Great news if so

Is the window open? Or is this some kind of pre-contract thing?

clarethomer

Seeing a few tweets that he has reportedly said he doesn't see his future at Burnley if Man Utd don't want him next season.

clarethomer

For me….. 1 - extend the longside so we can have better concourses and more optimised food and drink and toilet facilities. This would also perhaps increase the corporate functionality. 2 - build corners up on each side of longside so that more seating can be added and move media seats out of middle...

He completely flopped at Norwich, awful in the Prem last season. Can’t see this being true at all. Thats why I asked having read a few of the comments but I guess if we had taken Forest fans views on Muric - we wouldn't have played as well as we have this year so not sure if thats the best way to j...

Was that their last home game though? Burnley received the 4th division trophy in our last home game before the match. We still had Rochdale away to play, but they like to give it on the home ground. Weren't we going to get the trophy at Charlton though in the previous promotion campaign but decide...

Last season - Fulham won the league on 2nd May when they battered luton 7-0.

The 2nd May was the game before the last game of the season, so I would expect the Trophy to be presented this weekend after the game if they manage to do it.

Let's see what happens but I haven't see a player ever create as much ill feelings towards from large parts of the fan base. We know there is always a player that creates difference of opinion with their efforts/skill/value on the field but for me the issues most people have with him has been what h...

I don't get the impression he is even hinting of us signing him with his comments

clarethomer

You would have thought that his contract would have had success criteria attached to it which would mean that he would get an increase/decrease in pay to reflect the league we were in - similar to the players contract. I think the only thing I can think of is that there is a desire to increase the c...

Another thread about nixon and his record. He reports interest in players as much as anything else. Looking to sign or interested in type quotes doesn't need to be measured by how many of those people sign with us. Even the managers tell the world in the window -we have lists of lots of players, we ...

Big win last year I think you got, biggest we've ever had.

Yeah - £480 from the Ashley Barnes Penalty and £150 more recently.

clarethomer

Its something I have supported and continue to support. Not had a bad return out of it - I think about £630 in last couple of years from memory.

Glad to see more people joining and supporting this worthwhile cause.

They said a while ago that there were going to be new cards but apparently all confirmed with emails tonight which I haven't received.

If you haven't already done so Tony - check your junk/spam folders.

Mine was in there as it appears a few others have had similar.

I am not sure why VK would go anywhere at the moment. He has said that Burnley is a 4-5 year project from memory. He has had the backing of fans and the board and a dressing room that backs his ideas etc. VK seems to have a level head on him where I don't think it would be too much of a reach to see...

Does this make it more likely that Maatsen will be let go if they can get the right price for him?

If our neighbours down the m65 had an ounce of gumption they'd be all over this. Barnes has just about everything they lack, in spades. Grit, nous, power, goals, spunk, promotion experience x3 and no little charisma. If I were a cashless JDT he'd be right up there on my list. He would never go ther...

I think he deserves another year but I get the sense that we are not run on sentiment.
