The comment from Pace has been taken out of context here. He spoke at length about his ambitions for the club and it was clear it’s important that we retain our PL status. However, when directly asked how vital it was that we stay up, he’s hardly going to start detailing a doomsday scenario. I got t...

We’ve been fielding more or less the same team for 4 years. Brownhill is the only signing in that period who appears guaranteed to start every week and that’s probably only because Cork has missed the last 6 months. With that approach, it was always going to go stale at some stage. I can’t think of ...

It’s 2021 and people still believe stuff any old Joe Bloggs posts on social media.

agreenwood

Might have been interested on a half-season loan basis, but that’s all.

Simply too old to be considered anything more a future bit-part player and not what our ageing squad needs.

agreenwood

Well done Alan Pace. Enjoyed that.

First time in a good while I can remember someone from the board taking part in any form of Q&A that was widely accessible and wasn’t an in-house production.

No he isn’t excellent. Not even close.

And presumably you are referring to his time at boro with regards to the crowd on his back?

No. I was referring to how his upturn in form has coincided with his playing in empty stadia.

We’ll see how he fares once crowds are back.

agreenwood

If you’d missed the news and asked fans of each team to guess which side had reported the Covid outbreak today, my money would not be on them picking Sheffield United.

agreenwood

He’s excellent with no crowd on his back.

agreenwood

What it’s told us is that we’ll be absolutely fine with modest investment.

It’s a shame that we’re heading into January again wondering if that investment will arrive.

agreenwood

Drove coaches for extra money. He drove the bus that took my junior school class to the Zoo in the late 80s.

Different times.

agreenwood

He certainly seems to thrive without fans in the stadiums.

Hopefully with new owners it might see us feel a bit more optimistic going into the January market!

Depends if Garlick stays on as Chairman and continues to do all the negotiating

agreenwood

Yeah. We should play...er....er....er......Pieters...er...instead?

agreenwood

City don’t win every home game 5+ nil. Not even against the teams in the relegation mix. They manage it against us time and again tho.

We can put today down to the injuries again, but I do wonder if the players are mentally beaten before the KO.

“Paul Weller was a one-club player. He moved from sunny Brighton aged just 16 to dreary Burnley, with its grey skies, run-down terraced streets and mill chimneys, where riots were among the first things he saw”..

I didn’t get any further. No ta.

When I was a kid, Remembrance Day build up and conversation started a week or two before. It was hardly discussed outside of November.

The “lest we forget” posts I see on social media are 12 months of the year.

If Dyche left now, I dread to think who this board would appoint.

Bottom 3 and zero transfer funds wouldn’t make it an attractive proposition.

https://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/content/season-ticket-refunds-update It says on the link " I chose not to renew in the Early Bird period for 20/21 due to the uncertainty surrounding the season can I still retain my seat for the 21/22 campaign?

Yes, it was silent and on the club's website it states that they are off sale. However, anyone wanting to renew should be able to do so by contacting the Ticket Office.

Thanks, but I’m confused.

How can I renew if they aren’t on sale? And what am I renewing if I’m not allowed in the stadium?

agreenwood

Has anything been said about those who didn’t renew because the sales were suspended during the early bird window?

The last club update I saw was silent on that.

agreenwood

Not sure I understand the logic of blaming Rigg for this window. There’s clearly no money being made available.

He’s not a magician.

agreenwood

So, with the transfer window done and dusted there was just over £180 spent on fees for every post on here about our dealings.

Good work everyone.

Let’s do this again in January.

agreenwood

I see “shopping in our market” is going as well as shopping in what presumably wasn’t our market.

Maybe we’re just a bit **** at shopping.

agreenwood

I wouldn’t worry too much about a ballot. I don’t think there’s any chance that fans will be back in the stadium this season.

agreenwood

There’s been no obvious progression in our recruitment strategy in recent years. “Bare minimum” has become the mantra.

Hart Out GK Replaced Norris Gibson out CB not replaced Hendrick out MF replaced Stephens Lennon out Wide replaced Brownhill (he was a bonus last Jan) So the shortage is one centreback who is unlikely to feature, when Mee returns. Long is ok but not top quality/suspect...Dunne not yet up to it. Thom...

Garlick will be able to trot out his usual 'end the window stronger' given we've got Stephens in and no one has actually gone out during the window. That’d be sheer pedantry if he did. We lost 2 outfield players who were in matchday squad pre-lockdown and our record signing has gone to Norwich on l...

We don’t really trust the overseas market.

We don’t like to pay the domestic fees.

It really does leave us nowhere, window after window.

SD’s interview last night was interesting in the extent to which his call for reinforcements had softened.

We’ve gone from his “action” jibe to “one or two, but only if they can help us” with 5 days.

I’ve got a passing interest in the elite women’s game. Both my girls play football and I coach a junior female team.

You’ll have to tell me which channels are flooding their programming with it, because I’ve only noticed the occasional live game and or the odd weekly highlights show.

Domestic window shuts on 15th October so still over two weeks yet. Next Monday’s deadline is the UEFA one so no overseas transfers.

We can only trade with EFL clubs after 5 October.

agreenwood

Garlick did a smashing job for a long time.

He’s done now though. He’s pulled the ******* drawbridge up with Dyche stuck outnumbered outside.

Sell up and **** off.

agreenwood

After years of talk about the current board being custodians of the club with our best interests at heart, you’d like to think that they believe this group are going to carry on their work and not strip the assets and leave us in the lurch.

agreenwood

Hopefully the Stephens boat sailed a while ago. Signing another midfielder the wrong side of 30 is just storing up a larger rebuild in a year or two. The club have a large number of first team players hitting their 30s and whilst players go on longer than they used to, we’ve got to bring the average...

There was an interview a few months ago where Zaha cites it as an example of the power of social media. He said he’d never even met Moyes’ daughter. Seemed pretty open and honest about it, so I don’t think he was telling fibs. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/wilfr...

All this takeover talk sounds like wishful thinking to me.

Might just be an old fashioned dispute between folk wanting to take the recruitment strategy in opposite directions.

agreenwood

Did we need a media article to tell us this?

agreenwood

Two things.

Losing key players before we’ve even plugged any of the serious gaps in the squad would be horrendous.

Tarkowski is the only senior centre half we have who looks likely to be fit for the early games of the season.

In short, losing him would be a disaster.

agreenwood

It’s possibly more straightforward for clubs who had finalised season ticket sales before this season.

Burnley have the added problem of having suspended sales before the early bird deadline had officially ended.

agreenwood

Not that I’m arsed, but PNE’s official twitter account has confirmed it’s not being streamed at Burnley’s request.

The local reporters for Leeds, Brighton and Forrest to name a few, have always known more about what's happening when we've been dealing with those clubs, than any of our local reporters have.

Nail on the head Doesn't do any investigating, just waits till the club tell him what he can report, probably a really nice guy, but won't go against the media team, as that would mean an end to his Thursday morning telephone call with Sean.

It's about time that someone actually called it for what it is. Sick to the back teeth of all this now. It wouldn't surprise me if Matt le tissiers very fair comments on BLM was one of the reasons for his sacking too.
