12/4/86 Burnley 1 Cambridge Utd 1.

An attendance of just 2,796 for this Division Four fixture with Tommy Cavanagh by now in charge.

Neil Grewcock with our goal, not the last important goal Neil would score for us on the Turf.

50 years ago today..... 10/4/74.....Newcastle Utd 1 Burnley 2. Goals from Dobo and Geoff Nulty gave us a fairly comfortable win at St.James Park. It came just eleven days after our defeat to them in the FA Cup semi-final at Sheffield and those two heartbreaking goals from MacDonald. But it didn't en...

Chester Perry references the "public lies about taking the Premier League warnings seriously" and this became abundantly clear when their Operating Loss for the last financial year was published at £89m. Never a chance that they would be within the PSR threshold of £105m. But it gets worse......I've...

Absolutely spot on but there have been so many performances like that this season.

At least the memory is still there of that final Jimmy Mac goal for us in 1962.

2022 - BURNLEY 3 - 2 EVERTON

Collins, Rodriguez and Cornet.......Same again today, please Jay.

That partly obscured Everton programme from the 1954/55 season at the top of the preview holds special memories for me........It was, I think, the very first time I'd seen Jimmy Mac play in a Burnley shirt away from Turf Moor. Dad had said before the game to "take note of our player in the No.8 shir...

But also very lucky that we had so many out of contract players on big wages in a sense. That's what can catch clubs out

Look at the bigger picture, my friend.

So fortunate that Alan Pace is aligned with the very immediate future of Burnley Football Club.....

Royboyclaret

Not sure about that, won't it mainly include the loss of wages of Pope, Tarkowski, Cornet, Mee and Mcneil. They didn't really have much choice but to get rid of them, they were out of contract or had a release clause in Cornets case and didn't want to stay anyway Still remains a sensible approach a...

‘Material uncertainty’ with regards to Going Concern would suggest otherwise.

Everton are literally on their financial knees.

Royboyclaret

As anticipated a small Operating Loss for the financial year, but with the Profit from the previous year absolutely no problems whatsoever with PSR over the three year rolling period.
Normally Chester Perry would be all over this on the MMT thread.
Everton take note of how to run a football club.

How would promotion ruin the club? What is the point of a club if they just exist and nothing more? Don't see any reason why they couldn't operate again, at least at a slightly higher level. Their current onfield performances deserve nothing less. Seems a lifetime ago they were members of the Lanca...

By coincidence we drew 1-1 at Blackpool over the Easter period in both '76/'77 and '77/'78 with Malcolm Smith scoring on both occasions. However, in '77/'78 Derek ...

Football at the highest level is a cesspit of corruption and cheating. These clubs need to be sent to the bottom of the pyramid. A 6 point deduction is nothing compared to the points amassed while cheating. In fact, clubs could factor in the possible points deduction and decide that cheating is eco...

Great pic, and certainly worthy of a comment......That was one of the 29 league goals that Irvine scored in that '65/'66 season that I referred to on another thread.

There are suggestions that Forest have been offered a softened penalty (reduced) if they do not appeal - which should affect the credibility of the Premier League to my mind. The stories also suggest Everton are going to get a similar offer The reasons being offered for this are that it makes the r...

Royboyclaret

Different panels might affect it but from what I can understand the Forest situation was nothing like as bad as Everton. And if they can persuade a panel to understand the Johnson situation then they could win their appeal. Let's be clear, the Forest breach was substantially worse than Everton........

Fully understand the rules of the thread, but we should never forget that two of the greatest centre-forwards in the history of football played against us on the Turf in European Cup games........Raymond Kopa (Reims) and Uwe Seeler (Hamburg).
