A little sad but not really bothered.

Ive seen us go down then back up and to be honest I've enjoy wins in the 4th division as much as the premier league.

Burnley Football Club will always be there for me, my children, my yet to be born grandchildren.

That the future, no matter what league we are in.

Really flat. It's proper sunk in.

And very very pessimistic.

I'm amazed the number of people saying they're not bothered and think we are on the brink of a brand new dawn.

I think we are just as likely to be facing an Orient mk II by the end of the decade as playing at the top level again

I am also surprised that so many are not bothered. We have just come out of the best league in the world, playing some of the best clubs and players in the world, with phenomenal coverage brought to your front room every day. And for the town it regularly brings thousands of pounds to our town, yet people are saying they are quite happy to be be playing in the Championship and even lower down. For me this is a lack of ambition about some of our fan base.I hope I am not on my own

Always been the case. I call it the Burnley bubble. They don’t believe a world exists outside of the town.

Very tired after a night of running missed chances to avoid relegation running through my mind

Trying not to think of the situation with the club, but with the Category 1 under threat I do wonder what on earth is going on, and of course anyone who thinks that debt servicing will magically not affect our transfer is deluded sadly

We do need to hear from Pace about the future (as has already been said)

Without that 'ineffective' player's goals we'd have been relegated about 8 weeks ago. Jesus Christ.
Not really. Half his goals were not instrumental in gaining points. His goals actually earned 5 points. Since Christmas he's earned us 2 points but at the same tine cost us 2 points at least

It's a very mixed up/down season for him. He started like a house on fire but sadly in the wider team shape he's been difficult to shoehorn in as evidenced by the ongoing debate earlier in 2022 about whether he should start.

Rough, hungover, and like some really disappointed about the manner of the defeat yesterday. With the negativity on the field It actually looked like SD was back for large parts of the game, and Taylor looked like a Leeds player again.

I’m actually ok with the relegation, I’d resigned myself to it after the Leeds away game to be honest. To take it to the final game was an incredible achievement considering what Dyche left us with after the Norwich game. The manner of the capitulation yesterday I’m not ok with.

Your Cornet vendetta continues to be deeply odd. He hasn’t been shoehorned in to accommodate him, he’s been shoehorned in to accommodate the team. With Vydra and Jay Rod’s injuries and the obvious fact that WW and Barnes wasn’t viable, we needed somebody dynamic up top so he’s had to play out of position. Yet still finished top scorer. He has his faults, he is erratic but if it wasn’t for him, I think we’d have been relegated a few weeks back.

Fine. Disappointed but that's more because it's never nice to be relegated and we'll lose a few good players who it would have been nice to build a team round.

We always knew it couldn't last forever and the longer we stayed in the PL, the sooner relegation would come. Even then we've taken it to the last day.

My overriding feeling is one of pride. I've watched my club go from nearly dropping out of the league, to spending 6 seasons in the top division, with European football thrown in. From the bottom to the top without a sugar daddy or racking up obscene debt, we did it the right way. The proper way. The way all clubs should be forced to do it. And we stayed there, until now, against all the odds. If you'd offered me that 30 odd years ago, I'd have taken it, disbelievingly.

For now, I have no problem whatsoever with being out of the Premier league, a one team money league where I can tell you now with near certainty how it will play out again next season and many to come. (Clue: the same as this season). I'm utterly bored with just surviving, like 3 quarters of the teams are every year. And I'm glad we'll be rid of the disaster that is VAR. I'm looking forward to being in a division that is actually competitive, whether we come straight back up or not.

It will be an interesting summer to say the least but a reset is long overdue for everyone. And I'd probably include the supporters in that. So yeah, disappointed. But the best thing to do is look forward.

Surprisingly ok

Got some stick from local Rovers fans but that was expected

As was relegation

Previous manager had gone well past his "use by" date so end position was no surprise

Thinking there will now be a "Fire Sale" plus oap's allowed to leave when ooc

There will be plenty of applicants for vacant managers position but it will take someone with a good knowledge of lower league players to sort this out for next season

Exciting times ;)

You forgot to mention that he scored more than the rest of the forwards still on the club's books put together.

think we have been spoilt on the forwards recently, we went back to back Ings/Austin/Gray there were fabulous for us and we were truly spoilt with 3 great strikers in such a short period of time. But these guys are few and far between at our level/financial level and we got "lucky" any combination of those 3 when we had them - fit all season would score enough to guarantee play offs minimum just with the goals.

Upon reflection, not half as bad as I felt yesterday evening. It is a shame, but we didn't turn up yesterday, and haven't done in the crunch games this season. We deserved to drop. Jackson did a fantastic job with the situation he was given. I'm looking forward to the first fixtures of the new season in August.

His assists and goals are something McNeil should study, as should all our strikers and wide men. Cornet I know missed some chances and a pen but did bring some excitement and fantastic goals to our club

Just gutted the way we went down, I called it as soon as I saw the lineup, it was wrong. The approach was wrong, we played for a draw.

We should've been 442 and threw the kitchen sink at them from the off (like the Soton game). Instead we went down with an absolute whimper, not a single attempt at goal in the opening 35 minutes, just 2 speculative Mcneil long rangers in the entire first half.

When we actually passed the ball and attacked with Weghorst upfront, we looked like we were gonna score every time we went forward, shame that spell took 70 minutes to arrive.

Not just our performance but from the sounds of it Brentford were next to useless and Christian Eriksen put in his worst display since he joined them.

With the way they played against Everton and the bad feeling towards Leeds I at least expected them to come good even if we lost. :(

I'm actually feeling a lot worse than I thought I would...GUTTED. Someone once mentioned " fine margins " and if you look at some of the draws that should have been wins ( 2 points lost each time ) you have to agree. What makes it worse for me is the prospects for the future..the reported financial situation is , reportedly , dire and we'll be fighting with one hand tied against some very good teams over a very long season...eight more games .Our best players will be leaving and the managerial position is uncertain..we really are in the proverbial MELTING POT.

Oh and it doesn't help living on the outskirts of Leeds
Me too (with the Leeds thing too)

To make it even worse, Leeds made defensive changes and looked really nervy, then Brentford scored. All that Brentford momentum went, they were very quickly down to 9 men.

I don't think people are blaming the top scorer at all (I'm not certainly) just that was he the right signing at the time? When he signed I assumed he could play on the right - in the end he couldn't and that's what we needed.

That's not his fault

You do realise what happens on the financial side impacts on our ability to build a competitive squad don't you, and assuming we cash in on our main assets, and they aren't replaced it's unlikely we'll be making a quick PL return, which we really do need to do simply to cover our existing debt requirements.
I’m not bothered about a quick return to the PL, we can’t compete there so what’s the point?

Let’s hope we get a manager with some fresh ideas in as well as some new faces that we can push on with and be at least half-competitive in the Championship.

Sorry. Its not meant to sound like a vendetta. I'm trying to add some balance to this line that he's been the saviour and without him we would have been dead and buried ages ago. That's not true.

I think the difficulty is that we have let recruitment slide for too long and when we did start again the recruitment didn't really consider properly how we would cover the gaps we had

We already had a decent left midfield - we really needed a right and central mid and a refresh up front (which as he had an eye for goal is perhaps why Dyche hoped he might slot in there).

If we were relegated without the leveraged buy out I'd be a lot calmer as we still had our 'rainy day fund'. Yes, we'd probably lose some big players as they'd want to play in the top league, but we'd be able to use that money to replace/strengthen.

As it stands, we're still going to lose those players but it'll go into the big black £65-million-shaped financial hole.

So to answer your question, a mixture of worry and anger this morning.
Same here. When we were relegated from the EPL 2014/15 I was confident we'd be competitive the following season. Ive got no such confidence this time because of the financial situation.

You are right in the fact that we needed a right footed, right winger like Wade Elliott for instance.

But Cornet has stood out for us as the only player who can shoot in the team. A sad reflection on the others maybe.

Frightened and depressed… I expected more yesterday, staying up was far better than trying to get back up with so much uncertainty around the place. Felt the club could push past this season and build… now I fear we are heading to years of struggle. Hope I’m wrong, but I don’t yet see any light at the end of this tunnel for quite some time.

If what has been alluded to on here is accurate, then Cornet wasn't signed by Dyche, hence not knowing how best to utilise him.

Depressed and angry .
1 at the performance yesterday and 2 at the financial black hole the club now finds itself in and whoever you blame Garlick/ALK and Pace it’s going to be very difficult for a club our size to overcome it .

If what has been alluded to on here is accurate, then Cornet wasn't signed by Dyche, hence not knowing how best to utilise him.
And I think that's really the problem. The choice of player (exciting as he was) wasn't actually what we needed (and worryingly we were after another similar in January).

Having said that if he's up for a go at the Championship (as we don't pimp him out to balance the books) then he could do well up front - defenders and keeper are slower so his chances that are harder in the Prem as a forward are easier to take

It will take me a while to get my head around that flabbergasting showing yesterday. Jackson got it wrong before a ball was kicked. Tactically we were all over the place and it became more of a mess as the game wore on. We didn't show any composure from the first whistle and a good few looked completely off the pace. The pressure was clearly too much on the day and collectively we froze. We never looked like getting anything out of the game. My over-riding emotion yesterday was disbelief at what I saw on the pitch.

As for the relegation itself, it's been a long time coming and it feels every bit as **** as I expected it to be. Financially I think we are in a really dangerous place and I honestly don't have any confidence in the owners. I think they're miles out of their depth and don't know what they're doing.

Absolutely massive few months ahead, but I fear a lot of the damage is already done and a good amount of our fate is already sealed. We have to do our best to get a good manager in place, sharpish, and then try and assemble a team that can compete next season.

If we can stabilise the playing side and finish around mid-table then I'd take that now. Off the pitch I have very low expectations.

Agree with all of this, especially the bit about the owners.

Come on, Mr. Pace, prove us wrong.

I live in Newcastle.

Imagine my life this morning!!


(I am actually much less bothered than I expected. I was becoming more and more disolussioned with the Prem ier League, all I ever did was whinge, so hopefully it'll be a blessing!)


People keep asking if we'll come straight back up, I then point out we have no manager and loads of players leaving, so no idea!

Immensely disappointed but feels like a weight has been lifted in a weird way. Weeks of affected sleep and so much time spent on different permutations has added up. From feeling like we were absolutely buried after Norwich, to the mini revival then to today is hard to articulate. We need a monumental summer to bounce straight back.

Not as bad as I thought tbh. Kind of a relief that we have the chance to do a reset without having to spend 40-50k each on wages which could have been a problem. There is a LOT to sort out.

Just watched MOTD and jeez what on earth was Collins doing? And Canos as well, what a berk!

Imagine if Weghorst had have converted his chance and then Leeds score in 90+4 against only 9 men, I'd have been beyond fuming

As it is, looking forward to what the future brings, the last 2 seasons have been pretty grim

After Brentford, I resigned myself to we were going down, after AV Thursday I was just nervous excitement in that we had put ourselves in with a good chance right up to kick off. First hour of the game yesterday, totally annoyed, wondering where the famous fight was along with the minimum requirement is maximum effort, perplexed for the next 30 minutes wondering why didn't we play like this from the kick off, has the penny just dropped? Numb, I think when Leeds second went in, immediately followed by acceptance, had brunch organized with the family immediately after the game, they'd accepted if we lost/relegated we wouldn't talk about football, ignored coming here until now.

Now I've accepted it, I'm always optimistic with a sense of realism, which has now settled, so now curious as to who goes, who comes, who will be our manager, mixed with hope that we have a very good season to come and a quick return.

We're all in this together.

Just looked at the stats and Leeds have gained 9 extra points from injury time goals this season. Ridiculous!

Disappointed of course.
But also resigned to the fact that we weren't going to make it even though there
was a brief moment when Brentford equalised and we got one back when I thought
we might just do it.

But alas it wasn't to be.

Still the umbilical cord hasn't been cut and I shall still support the Clarets
be it from afar and hope there's a new dawn to come.

I am also surprised that so many are not bothered. We have just come out of the best league in the world, playing some of the best clubs and players in the world, with phenomenal coverage brought to your front room every day. And for the town it regularly brings thousands of pounds to our town, yet people are saying they are quite happy to be be playing in the Championship and even lower down. For me this is a lack of ambition about some of our fan base.I hope I am not on my own
Warks, it would probably be surprising a few years back that some aren’t bothered but how bad has top level football actually become for some fans to think like this now?
