Realistically there's about 3 or 4% of shares that are spread between 1,500 or so people with them mainly owning 1 or 2 each. It's unlikely you could put together the opposition to block anything. Yes, I get that, but what I was saying/asking was with Garlick only having 49.24% of the shares, him a...

Tony......If the above quote "they may or may not buy 89% of the shares" is anywhere close to accurate, then it appears the Board are pretty much of one accord on this. This is currently as it stands :- MG......60,308 shares......49.24% JB.......34,544 shares......28.20% BK......4,032 shares. CH......

Question: If Garlick only owns 49.?% of the shares does someone else not have to agree to sell also or the Americans don't really achieve their aim of "overall control"? So it might not actually be in MG's hands

Ball had stopped. Good refereeing.

I do wonder how much both incomings and outgoings are being deliberately held up because Garlick wants the new owners to make those final decisions. If what's being reported is right and a takeover is in the offing, the new owners may well not want to find one of their prize assets has just left the...

If Wilson was sat in front of his tele watching that crap last night, he'll be giving Jurgen a bell begging to go somewhere (anywhere!) else! We hardly "advertised" ourselves unfortunately!

Both Dyche and Garlick have done wonders for the club and BOTH have a massive amount of credit in the bank for me which means I'm reluctant to criticise either. However I genuinely believe Garlick is keeping the money "careful" as he's always done, because he has the very best long term interests of...

Taylor 8 - was excellent (MOM)
Everyone else bu++er all as they failed to turn up.

Plenty of effort imo, but an obvious lack of the quality required at this level. Looks like a long hard winter. Lockdown and being shut out of The turf was definitely a bonus tonight!

Dark Cloud

I really like to think that if there's anything remotely dodgy about this bunch, then MG wouldn't sell to them at any price. However, anyone can give reassurances before doing a deal and once the deal is done they can then do exactly what they like. I'm sure the Whelan family were reassured they wer...

It’s been said elsewhere that there are three reasons for investing in a football club. Because you love the club, to align with and raise the profile of your own brand, or to make or launder money. We have to ask ourselves what the motivation is here. We’d all like to see greater investment in pla...

Let's have no suggestion that the stall was trying to sell black puddings fed on chlorinated chicken and pumped full of steroids! Though, we know that's how the America market knows black puddings should be served. ;) Yes, I heard them quoted as saying they realised too late that they'd bought into...

Anyone want to buy a black pudding? Great prices. No assets or covering, just the black pudding in it's natural state. ;) :lol: Apparently they (these Americans) approached the previous stall holders and made a bid which was accepted and then (ALMOST unbelievably) they managed to pass the allegedly...

Black pudding shop gone! Worst news of 2020 so far.

Bought by Americans (apparently) and went bust and closed within 6 months. A cautionary tale I'd suggest!

Anyone who proposed moving us from The Turf would be making their first, probably biggest and possibly terminal mistake.

I’d ask the AKL people what they can bring to BUrnley what we don’t already have. And second, what are their ambitions and expectations for the club. Pretty much what I put higher up the thread.

I'm really not sure what these chancers could bring us that we don't already have. They are never in a million years going to get us into the top 6 as that requires stratospheric investment on the lines of Mr Mansoor or Mr Abramovich and that definitely ain't going to happen. And one reason that ain...

There really has to be a good chance we'll get relegated this year. If you stand still in this league you quickly fall behind and at present we're definitely standing still.

Enjoyable game in great sunshine at Nelson with the home side beating Gt Harwood by (about?) 40 runs (I had a few pints! Sorry, very unprofessional!)

The game was won (and lost) in the first 8/9 over of the England reply when the Aussies bowled exceptionally well and Bairstow was made to really struggle, Root couldn't get bat on ball as it was moving all over the place (until he edged one!) and Hazlewood took a superb catch and bowled 3 maidens. ...

"Have you heard of the North Bank Highbury?"

At the time the song first surfaced he was the manager who had taken Arsenal to the league and cup double.

Exactly! And (sadly) no Bertie Mee, Shankly, North Bank or Longside anymore.......so no wonder the young 'uns get it wrong!

At the risk of summoning a “whoosh”, isn’t it Bertie Mee, not Bertie bee? I’ll get me coat... Yep, it actually is (or was, or should be) "Bertie Mee", the ex Arsenal manager from the 70's when Shankly was also in in his pomp at Liverpool and the song was first heard echoing around the Longside Burn...

It's true that this year the 3 promoted clubs come up with a high degree of spending power (which isn't always the case) but what you have to take into account is that yes, they could probably shell out the cash to pay for one of our "jewels" and yes, in terms of living in or around London say, that...

Probably try and get Padiham FC into the football league. From a more business perspective though I'd buy a club with potential. So I'd be looking at Notts County, Bristol Rovers, Portsmouth.

IMO, the time had become right to look externally to appoint, as constantly looking inside the club had started to fail and we were in a mess.

I think it’s a case of they tested positive whilst alive, so it’s given as cause of death.

But might not be.

Genuine question. Can Italy or indeed any country really do 368 autopsies to establish cause of death in a single night? Logistically that must be pretty hard to do I would have thought, but I may be wrong.
