Feels like we’re not giving up on this. Assume any deal will be debt funded but fans will want reassurance the debt isn’t being loaded against BFC.

Father Jack

From today’s Athletic article: “Burnley are open to bringing Maatsen back either permanently or on loan but would prefer the former. Chelsea value the player above £20million but Burnley are reluctant to meet that asking price. Their most recent offer of £15million including add-ons has been turned ...

Yesterday’s news about the Saudi PIF may give us a solution for Wout. Sounds like Messi is going over there so Wout can be cast as pantomime villain again after upsetting Messi at the World Cup. Win win? Taken from the Athletic today: “But it is over-simplistic to cast the Saudi Pro League as having...

Do we really want him?

It’s no from me. Don’t see enough to justify the hype or the price tag.

To the tune of Bad Moon Rising
By Creedence Clearwater revival

I see our old Mill town is rising
I see trouble on the way
I hear singing and chantin’
I see good times today
Don’t come out tonight
If you don’t wanna fight.
There’s a mill town on the rise

Father Jack

We now have a meet up set for Tuesday 16th May at 8pm at Euxton Mills Pub (in Euxton). This meet up will also coincide with Central Lancs Clarets Committee meeting so we hope there will be plenty of clarets there to discuss the season and the future. Great opportunity for harpers_perm (Higher Walton...

Father Jack

Another bump!

Father Jack

Thanks John. Do you fancy joining us?

Father Jack

I’ll be there too.

Weblink to the pub https://euxtonmillschorley.co.uk/

The pub is 6 minute walk from Euxton Balshaw Lane station for anyone who lives near to the Liverpool / Preston line.

Can any other clarets make it from: Chorley, Buckshaw, Leyland, Bamber bridge Hutton, Penwortham, Lostock?

Father Jack

Ok so the date, time and venue is now confirmed from central Lancs clarets. Can anyone else make it?

Father Jack

The committee for Central Lancs Clarets are expected to be meeting at 8pm next Tuesday 16th May at the Euxton Mills pub (PR7 6DJ). Just waiting for Burnleybabe to confirm that the date has been 100% finalised. I’d suggest this could be a good first start for us, given there will definitely be some c...

Father Jack

Eh? New Five year deal not enough for you? It’s not about me or what I think. The point is about AP not knowing what VK thinks, irrespective of the length of new deal he’s just signed. AP says he doesn’t know how long we’ll be ‘dating’ VK. VK obviously holds his cards close to his chest. As Pete sn...

Father Jack

He said he didn’t know what VK thinks.
On this basis my comment that VK doesn’t give much confidence is still a fair summary.

Father Jack

We know the 3 on the right.
But can anyone tell me who the 2 on the left are?
Back left features heavily in the documentary trailer “we’re going to make so much money”.
Doesn’t look like Dave Checketts to me.
Front left doesn’t look like Antonio Davila either.

Father Jack

Needs a new CM partner in crime for next season.
Wonder who’s next on our hit list from the Belgian league.

Some interesting comments in the interview on the attached by AP. Doesn’t sound like VK gives much confidence on how long he’ll stick around which is understandable.

Father Jack

I've been watching it from my office all day. It has screens on both sides, showing the highlights from every game. If you zoom in on the picture I posted this afternoon you can see Vitinho Sadly the screen wasn’t working when we arrived at 18:20. Audio of the interviews from the speakers only. Sou...

Father Jack

Twitter post showing the big screen outside of the town hall. Should be a big improvement on last time given how tight it is to get a view otherwise. https://twitter.com/burnleycouk/status/1655908815936552961?s=46&t=btsjTcs4Rb-Owu7FY-HWTQ Does anyone have a picture of the screen outside McDonalds?

Father Jack

Is there a stream for us overseas Clarets? I haven’t seen anything detailed. But they will be loads on videos on clarets+ after the event no doubt. I’m expecting lots will pop up in the next few days from yesterdays celebrations once they’ve had some time to do some editing. Clarets uncut should be...

Father Jack

The bus looks befitting of a Premier league team re-joining the elite.
I also thought the Turf looked brilliant yesterday with the LED boards displaying the Champions message and the montage with the players & VK. It’s definitely modernised the look and feel of the stadium from a small face lift.

Father Jack

Hope plenty still bother. It’s another chance to raise the profile of the club and the town.
And who knows when the next one of these will be!

Father Jack

Ah found a better version of it now which shows the whole route on one picture

Father Jack

Bumping for today. The map the club have released ^^ shown above doesn’t actually show where the bus parade starts. Is anyone any clearer on this? Also are there any recommended standing positions where you could see the bus go past, then cut through some streets and see it again at a second locatio...

Father Jack

Another push to see if there is any interest for a pub meet up soon in the Chorley / Leyland / Buckshaw area?

Father Jack

Hi Hesketh. Sorry slow reply missed your last post. I’m up for it. Would be good to see if there’s any interest from those in Chorley / Euxton / Leyland / Croston / Longton / Tarleton.
I’ll bump my post on Buckshaw Village.

Father Jack

Any idea who this man is?
AlK board or investor?

Father Jack

Went back for another look.
Answered my own question but it looks like your structure chart now needs another update!

Father Jack

Given that everyone else here appears to assume you are talking about me - I wouldn't have been so presumptuous I have been using my spare time today to wade through and try and get to grips with more of the documents related to the Jersey based entities within the the group that contains our club ...

Father Jack

Stand up for the champions
That’s why your staying down
Couldn’t sell all your tickets
Rovers came to Burnley and hardly touched the ball
23 23 undefeated
Who put the ball

There should be a decent rotation of songs for this game. And even 2k can make a racket as Cov proved last night

Father Jack

Would suggest Kompany has already seen enough of him to form a positive opinion whilst THB was injured.
Now time to look at Ameen during an increased number of games.

Father Jack

Millwall have to play PNE and Blackburn.

Blackburn have to play PNE, Burnley, Luton and Millwall.

PNE have to play Millwall, Blackburn, Sheffield United and Sunderland.

Norwich travel to Boro next week and have WBA to play.

Cov have to play Blackburn and Boro.

Interesting weeks ahead

Father Jack

Got to laugh at the 5-4 aggregate score as if that’s some sort of badge of honour. It’s playground stuff from the bitter blunts.

More relevant and telling stats are
90 pts to 76
2 losses to 10
Champions to runners up (if they don’t bottle it)

Father Jack

Billy Sharp was chunnering too. Nice to see them rattled. Ndiaye should have got a first yellow for dissent. But was definitely deserved his yellow for petulant kick in frustration. Can Sheff Utd channel tonight as motivation to kick on or do they bottle it and let Luton in? Will be interesting to w...

Father Jack

Must be online as a stream somewhere. Am sure someone will know.

Father Jack

Excellent article and a nice rebuke of the parachute payment myth.

Father Jack

Will sound incredible with 20k clarets doing it at Turf Moor in the trophy celebration

Father Jack

I had the same thought that a number of players not in the match day squad would have probably travelled but may been stuck up in the stands? Bastien, Jay, Charlie Taylor etc?

Father Jack

I think he’s earned the right to announce it whenever he wanted. And knowing that he’s leaving made all the celebrations more special at the end. There’s a video doing the rounds on Twitter which shows him holding back the tears when the fans were singing his name & players pushing him forwards. He’...

Father Jack

Saints on for unprecedented 5 in a row.
Can anyone make a fight of it this year? Or should we just anoint them now?

Father Jack

Has anyone got a link to the compilation of Muric’s passing versus WBA?
Was looking for it again today but couldn’t find it again on Twitter

Just drop the ‘Burnley’ for numbers with more than one syllable.

And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I li-li-like it, li-li-li
Here we go, eleven games won in a row

hopefully this gets sung when we take a 3-0 lead on Tuesday!

Father Jack

Shame there wasn’t a queue of clubs bidding for him in the summer to drive his price up.
He was never going to get the same level of recognition whilst playing for us under an unfashionable manager.

Father Jack

I was the passenger not the driver…

Father Jack

One for Ameen Al-Dakhil.
Tune Come on Eileen - Dexys Midnight runners

Come on Ameen
Your just what we need
At this moment
You head everything.

In claret and blue
You just know what to do
Another clean sheet
Come on Ameen.

Father Jack

As above. Open and shows you can’t always trust google maps

Father Jack

Just joining the M65 at Walton. Will report back in the next 10 mins

Father Jack

Fantastic performance from him given he’s clearly played with a heavy weight on his mind.
I did think he wasn’t looking very happy in the post match footage. Now we understand why.

Father Jack

A good video if anyone wants to hear a neutral / objective opinion on whether the top two are likely to be caught or not.

Father Jack

Great to see so many Clarets in what would traditionally be Rovers/PNE territory. Google maps to find Buckshaw Village. Possibly this is why folk find it unattractive? 3EBD8954-A30C-4E17-83F6-9C008B1B0010.jpeg That’s one of the few areas of the village still not developed but it’s not a very repres...
