Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
ALK and VSP isn't about "billionaires," New. It's about Burnley giving a lot of wealthy millionaires the opportunity to have a share in ownership of Burnley football club.

Peter "Simply" Devine, ex Burnley, for Lancaster. He even managed to injure himself in the process - it's hard to imagine a penalty that could go more wrong.

Re: REPORT: A tale of two keepers
I think Pope is England’s best keeper. I just don’t think he is suited to our style. It would make us pedestrian at the back. Would improve us with box dominance though, without doubt. My point being, I’m not convinced we can afford to castigate Muric, who changes so much of our play for the better...

They have extended the season, so the rest of the fixtures are a doddle. Two more this week (Friday, Saturday) then Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday next week, and same again the week after. Plus, of course, a Cup Final!!!

I might possibly consider it if we were the only club to get the chance and we were the only club to get the £20m. If all clubs do it and all get the £20m, then it just increases player wages and ruins the game of football yet further.

Re: The cost of playing out badly
One problem with this playing about at the back, is that it doesn't get us anywhere. Most of our goals (and we don't score all that many) come from breakaways where we get the ball forward quickly. We're not good at breaking down a packed defence, or a defence that is given time to get organised.
