I’m not suggesting that you’re doing anything untoward, Lowbank, and I do agree that planning for the future is something to be encouraged. However, I agree with other posters, that this is not the right forum. If topics covering religion, politics or other potentially contentious issues are current...

Leicester, Southampton and Man United next up. Not an easy run of games. From our perspective, I hope that they stay rooted to the bottom.

I think we need one other to go with WBA abs Fulham.

From many thousands of miles away it would seem to me that the club is in total free fall. When Chairman and Manager don’t get on then it leads to situations like Tarks. Last season he was a giant. This season he just wants away. Others will be the same. If Dyche gets a decent offer he will be gone...

DCWat

Overall I agree with you about our current owners and it has certainly been a wonderful period for the club. Clearly they now feel they’ve taken us as far as they can, and now have to choose whether to accept an inevitable slide back down into the Championship or sell it on to owners who might give...

Get a decent model of Panasonic, Sony or LG. You won’t go far wrong.

I’m hearing ‘everything’ is done. Sound’s like the American’s have been quietly going about their business behind all the hysteria of the Egyptian takeover

That in itself gives me more hope than the Egyptian bid ever did.

If we are competing on wages and salaries, as was the original comparison, why do we need to compete in other areas, aside from being able to sell ourselves to prospective players. All the areas mentioned have some terrible places in and around them. Aside from Villa and Newcastle, I don’t think we ...

“Sean Dyche has confirmed that neither Dale Stephens nor Robbie Brady are likely to be available although we understand the recent Brady injury is not a serious one.”

So Brady should be back in February then

Haven’t seen this posted. Comments from Mike Garlick in the Palace programme. More reassuring word: "Any potential investment needs to support the club’s long-term sustainability and retain its position as a cornerstone of the local community. "As custodian, you would expect nothing less from me an...

I use an android for work - it’s infuriating. Too much lag when doing anything and the unlock options fail to work regularly, meaning I need to input the pin code. Compared to my 11 Pro, it’s night and day. I generally get a new phone every two years - I’ve now started buying from Apple and running ...

I think that’s an understatement.

So are we saying that DJW was exaggerating his insider knowledge or putting two and two together and coming up with 2.5, close but not quite right?

DCWat

Doesn’t sound it but assume it’s not the Apple generated warning, if you’ve used a password multiple times across different sites etc.?

Nights out, days out, holidays, football, seeing friends and family properly. A big party - in fact I think we should get an extra bank holiday next year, once this is over.

I was watching one of our PL games, from a few years ago, on SKY, a few weeks ago. The difference in our closing down and harrying, then to now, was startling.

In a way I hope our first match back would be midweek, full house under the lights.......takeover sorted, a couple of quality new signings.a bit of drizzle to remind me it’s Burnley, and Aroma for a curry afterwards! Oh and a win would be nice (and rather unusual at the moment) For all I’m fed up w...

Because he's too loyal to his old favourites? He wouldn't even drop Barnes last season when he was injured and his performances absolutely stunk. What options has he had? I do agree that on occasion, I’d have liked Dyche to be more willing to change things. What we have to remember though is that w...

That sounds the fairest solution. I can see Dyche walking if ALK is successful and they start to sign new upcoming talents that he won't play.

Why wouldn’t he play them and which other up and coming talents hasn’t he played?

Not really one for all the Christmas films / rom coms but if I had to pick a couple to watch, it’d be Love Actually and The Holiday.

Nothing to elaborate on at all. The people negotiating are businessmen, I and many more besides me, are fans. We will see things differently.

At what point might you be willing and / or able to elaborate on these type of comments, Tony?

That’s not being particularly clear, because it’s only a week or two ago that you were backing the Egyptian bid. Why the change of heart?

Both bids have very different models for the clubs operations. Both have merits and both have limitations in my opinion.

Garlick, is a business man first, custodian of BFC second.

Thanks Daniel.

Apologies if covered before, but what is your take on Farnell and his involvement?

DCWat

It’s good that other clubs fans are willing to share their concerns. It’s sad what has happened to your club, we can all agree that. This situation is totally different So are you confident that people’s concerns are unjustified, be this Farnell, El Kashashy, the source(s) of funds or the long term...

In West Yorkshire, when I ask for a pint of Carling, they often give me a pint of Coors. Not sure what language Carling sounds like Coors to be honest!

They’re just trying to get you off the bloody Carling!!

Fairly sure he knows both but on better than the other, just clarify, I spoke to my friend about the subject.

I was once watching Ashley Barnes warming up before a game with Westwood. They were hitting long balls to each other the full width of the pitch, one touch and fire back.

More confident in both parties and what they would bring to the table than I was after what I have learned over the past day or two. Both differ in what they offer.

I totally get your sentiments. Watching us in division 4 and where we are now has been a phenomenal achievement but we need to adjust to maintain that.

Serious answer: since a week ago, the UK Prime Minister (Boris Johnson) announced that we are now in lockdown. shops closed - some of them anyway - and certain activities banned, including selling poppies on the street. I think even before that, street collections and poppy sales were banned. So of...

Some of us saw this coming two and a half years ago with the unnecessary risk taking by not strengthening. Others chose to shout down others as negative and buried their heads in the sand. Some still do.

We’ve certainly been storing up a problem over a number of windows. It was plain to see.

You are seriously suggesting that Southgate is not picking him for England just because he plays for Burnley ? Unbelievable :roll: I think it may be more because of how we play as opposed to it being because it is Burnley. Our style is very different than it would be with some other clubs and it pe...

Finances aren’t in his thinking he just wants to take that next step and join a Champions League contender like West Ham.

So much for moving North to be closer to his poorly mother and family, I’d let him rot in the reserves for 18 months.

Is his mother still poorly?

I’m pretty sure that most of us have expected exactly what Tarkowski has said in the article. I’m also pretty sure, after his performances for Burnley, that no one would begrudge him a move to a club more likely to challenge for honours, and increase his chances of gaining England caps. A club like ...

Was it DJW who suggested that there was a third interested party? Do we know anything of who this may be?

Obviously not something they’d likely have shown on the programme, but I’d have liked to hear some of their back stories, particularly the northern bloke.

I’d hope that we would provide potentially useful information, if it were us in Charlton’s position. No need for the arsey comments, whether you believe what is being said, or not.
