we need another striker if Foster is out with the ankle injury he picked at Spurs unless Larsen is the answer..

We need a striker anyway, despite fosters knock but Ings isn’t the answer

That was posted on the 8th of September mate - recently said that it's finally started to come together but it's leaving us with an awful lot to do.

Why I was surprised you’d said it, sorry should have noticed the date

There was a real connection built between team and fans last season though, special moments shared. When the majority of them aren’t then playing in your opening three fixtures for a team that doesn’t look any better then the sort of ‘feel good factor’ is of course gone and it also makes supporters...

Am I the only one that assumed this post was about some Burnley based historical Baptism stone bowl that had been discovered ?

There's a lot to reply against here whilst being concise, I'll just address some of the points mainly the Yank/American stuff - I'd just like to preface this that I'm not against anyone supporting the club from anywhere - that's brilliant, but important to note that I don't think one off match day ...

VK says there won't be big changes, Beyer will be missing through injury. Ekdal and Cork still unavailable. We have another Centre half injury crisis, yet McNally remains on loan with Stoke.. Hardly a crisis worthy of ruining a decent loan for McNally. Beyer back for Luton and Ekdal close to a re-r...

It's a period of uncertainty from now until the end. It's not looking good you can roughly assume or think along them lines without being certain. When would you like people to discuss the possible ramifications concerning relegation when it's mathematically confirmed. Not quite sure what you’re ge...

People often say this but I always point to our shirt sponsor in sort of 2018 or so with (I think) Laba Bet which was around the top 10-12 deals in the PL, pushing up around £8 Million The sponsor from last season was one of the lowest in the Champ - I'm not sure on this seasons (don't have the dat...

Holtyclaret

It would be a real strange decision to let both of them go in the same window and does leave a strange sense that something is not right. Both have something to offer. Or could their squad spaces be better utilised by incoming players lined up? Your guess is as good as anyone’s right now but there ...

Tbf there is probably more known about rocket science than our financial position !! Why do you think “general revenue has increased considerably” from the last time we were in the premier league and got relegated ? Are tv revenues that different ? Season ticket revenues gone up much ? We are prett...

Holtyclaret

Yes we are…..but not in a good way. Last time we had brought in the best part of a £100m in transfer fees and this time we will have had a similar amount been spent. The lack of published accounts or transparency over our current debt levels, outside investment and many other key areas makes it ver...

Holtyclaret

You assume far too much. The reason we ended up with no management is down to 1 person & we had players but the good 1s wanted out & didn't want to drop down a league. I honestly think had we stayed up it wouldn't have made much of a difference, pope didn't have long left & JT wouldn't extend that ...

Holtyclaret

You proffer an opinion but do not address the four basic points: 1) The players who can leave will likely be able to do so because there will be relegation clauses both in favour of the club in terms of wages and the players in terms of their ability to leave. 2) The PL payments will reduce substan...

Holtyclaret

How do you know? The players will have relegation clauses and potentially big wage deductions in their contracts. There is a decent sized drop in the broadcast revenue received from the PL and the debt is much higher this time around. Because I think our recent and current income, combined with a p...

We'll revisit your unfathomably optimistic posts about the future in August ...

Holtyclaret

Obviously its dependent on his form to the end of the season. Hes got 4 in 11 and 3 assists, so if for example he gets to 10 goals and 5 assists in his first prem season, I think 40m would have to be the bare minimum. Every club in the world wants a striker with those attributes that he has shown s...

Holtyclaret

Of course theres the chance he could go up in value with us further but say we go down and his value is £40 million. Do we say no and keep hold of him hoping we can go back up and get his value up to £60 mill? Bearing in mind the issues that hes had, or the potential of a severe injury, its probabl...

His improvement's been fantastic to watch. We're a different team with him, we actually look like we might score and put up a fight. Ex Lehman Bros and Citibank executive who bought Burnley with the club's own money and loans (that are being paid off with the club's income & other owns, not his own...

Holtyclaret

Our plan is to constantly 'rinse and repeat' in terms of buying cheap and selling on at peak value regardless of what level we are at. The wingers might stay because you could argue they arent at peak value, Foster is more risky Fosters peak value is probably 4-5 years off. His Burnley peak value w...

Holtyclaret

The finances have become convaluted but I would guess that what happened to us last time with regard to relegation would happen again and we would have a bit of a fire sale so the logic of selling 1 * £12 million may not apply because of the loss of PL broadcast revenue and possibly contractual agr...

Could be time for Cork to continue his coaching journey and replace Adam. Would be great if he stayed with club beyond this year.

Holtyclaret

A handful have developed yes, have they developed enough to stay up. No not even remotely close. A handful might be premier league players by the end of the season. Then we will sell them and we start all over again but in a league below that will no doubt result in a complete re build of the squad...

Holtyclaret

Benson hasn’t featured much because he hasn’t been fit and available much. Quite a reaction to a bit of gossip that a club have enquired about one of our players. I can’t recall seeing anywhere that anything has been agreed etc.. or that the players unhappy in anyway other than the frustration that ...

Holtyclaret

You can't say that with certainty because you don't know the individual player contractual conditions. Certain release clauses might come to light we don't even know about. None of us can really say anything with absolute certainty as we’re not privy to all the facts etc.. Some will leave, some wil...

Holtyclaret

Oh I agree, get rid of all of them. They offer little return for their wages. I do disagree about the fire sale though, although I don't think we necessarily need to sell, we know that if we are offered a decent price then Pace will sell and that isn't to mention if players don't want to drop down ...

Holtyclaret

Weghorst never plays for us again, Twine isn't even starting for Hull, Bastien and Churlinov couldn't get more than 5 mins last season and Dara doesn't even start for St Johnstone. These are exactly the players we want to leave (decent but not right standard) with cork and jay (after great service)...

One of our group has had to drop out of the trip to Villa, through illness, does anyone know if you can go into Villas ticket office and get a refund on his ticket?

Ask the ticket office, should be open.

Benson will certainly feature when fit and Zaroury will have his part to play, particularly in the absence of koleosho. As said both on long term deals and both will get opportunities when the times right. All our players have price tags and you’d imagine both these two are currently valued below wh...

They have the added bonus of having one of the best strikers in the Premier League. I doubt that run of results happens if they didnt.

I’d say more of an in form striker than one of the best personally but we’d need a couple of players hitting a similar purple patch if we’re too survive.

Holtyclaret

He selected his words very carefully. I don't think he ever said what Fosters opinion was on it or if he wanted to go. I suspect Foster was being told from all parties he shouldn't go but he still wanted to be chosen hence him being in their original squad list. It looks like common sense has preva...

The following is Bournemouths form over the last 7 games. I think the two games prior were a win (against us?) and a loss.

It shows the sort of run we may need is possible, unlikely and extremely difficult but definitely possible UTC

Yes why hasn’t vk been picking Redmond whilst he’s been injured? Hasn’t he only just returned to the bench in the last couple of weeks following an injury? Strange thread, like a few players I’m sure they’d feature more if they remained fit and like a few players they get better and better, almost g...

More pressing areas than this.

Although it won’t be Maatsen we’ll sign, the fact we don’t have a left back this weekend because of a suspension shows that it is our most pressing area.

There are other gaps too of course.

Has Benson actually played in any of the u21's recent games?

Didn’t think so but that was VK’s wording, think before wolves game.

Holtyclaret

Last official word on Benson was that he’s building up his fitness with u21’s following injury so you’d imagine he’ll be back fully available before long.
