Hendry at Genk - backup is a little disingenuous;

I have no problem with people discussing, debating or even “bickering”. What I do have is no interest whatsoever in, for example, who is the better source Nixon or Fabrizio Romano. I’m happy to have them quoted but that’s it. If I was interested I’d read the posts under that heading. Before I’m told...

Nonaynever - "If Pace decides to sell McNeil for any fee I think that will demonstrate his lack of knowledge of football in general. If he sells him for around the £10m mark I think that also demonstrates his lack of business acumen. McNeil, whether you like him or not, is a genuine PL player. If we...

I don’t think it’s particularly a bullying culture, more the nature of an internet message board. It affords anonymity so is populated by people with multiple accounts, people who pretend to be Burnley supporters, people who sit by their computers for a long time because of need for social contact e...

"You believe he’s working hard for the club, I believe he’s working hard for the investors." Er - Investors want return on money = successful club. Fans want successful club. No difference except investors get a bob or two out of it, fans enjoyment. Don't get your argument. There's nothing in it for...

To me it was a thoughtful interview. Few of the usual cliches and a realistic assessment. Whatever the outcome he doen't appear to be the typical manager.

"I thought Tarkowski might not show up this season but how wrong I was proved." I seem to remember a lot on here suggesting he hadn't in some games before Feb and the chairman mentioning he was on board as he'd spoken to him. I remember a couple of shaky games but on the whole he has been excellent ...

why would we have a more even sense of competition in football - that hasn't been the case for almost 150 years in this country - it started to disappear when Preston North End fielded professionals in the FA Cup in the 1870's, then Blackburn Olympic won it with professional - The advent of the foo...

Dyche distanced himself from the signings of both Cornet and Weghorst. He did an interview on Radio 5 and was surprised by how cool he was regarding Cornet's signing. He just about said it's the chairmans signing now we'll have a look at him and see if can do a job for us and if he fits in. On Wegho...

CT " I think we are potentially coming to the end of the best years you might ever see as a Burnley fan." I think you are right but it's more to do with the money trumps all state of football than the present crisis, which is a consequence of it. After the Newcastle takeover the writing was on the w...

I suspect ALK know they have limited knowledge of football and take advice on such matters. I'm sure someone posted on here something about who they were consulting. Would be interesting to know.

I remember leaving the Turf late after the final game of the season against Sunderland with Stan knowing his contract was not to be renewed. It had been an emotional end to his time as manager as he waved to an appreciative crowd almost in tears. Walking up what is now Harry Potts Way we saw Barry K...

I think this is more an extension of Mike’s legacy than wholly ALK’s. He wanted to offload the club and could only find a buyer by doing a deal that involved taking funds out the club and possibly benefiting himself. I think ALK’s legacy is that despite trying and investing in playing staff unlike G...

Don't think there was any secret about Mullen's drinking at the time everybody appeared to know about it. It was often carefully referred to in at least one fanzine. I'm not sure of it's earlier name but it became "Marlon's Gloves".

That’s pretty much the most idealistic view of Chelsea fans I’ve ever read DA. Those poor little everyday fans who were true football supporters. As others have said they cared nothing for football but flocked to support a business model that provided them with 1.5 Billion in loans and sought to mak...

If Garlick had been unable to sell the club where would we be? I think this is the realistic comparison that needs to be made. Would he have bought Cornet and Collins, would Cornet have even been considered? Would he have had a replacement for Wood in who we now know had previously been scouted? Wou...

"Certainly has lost the lions share of support of fans in an exceedingly quick amount of time."

This may have been covered but I thought ALK could walk out anytime and the club reverts to the previous owners. I've read this several times.
So they would only be trying to get investment if they wanted to remain in charge and if they have had enough just default and leave. Simples.

BBC "Chelsea FC PLC continues to be supported financially by Fordstam Limited, a company owned by Roman Abramovich - with confirmation in the accounts that the club owes more than £1bn to "related companies".

Interesting article from 2016. The Newcastle link is wild speculation but does go into how a number of players prefer to live down south. Had to laugh at Keegan persuading Robert Lee to move to Newcastle from Charlton by telling him it was nearer to London than Middlesborough who were also after him...

Classic UTC really, someone moaning about a post instead of just ignoring it if not bothered about it.

One thing that footballers like is to live near other footballers. You have a better chance of meeting an old mate, someone from your country or players that speak your language in Manchester or London. That also makes it more attractive to your partner. I suspect Cornet may have made contact with E...

Speculation has now surfaced that they are going to build a training facility there and fly the team to and from Newcastle as required in order to attract to...

I don't think that is really correct and there is nothing happened at Burnley that fans influenced. If anyone wanted Garlick out it was Garlick, not the fans. He'd been trying to sell the club for some considerable time, probably about four years.

Absolutely correct.

I'm not suggesting he's not wanted but there was no he can improve us etc. talk. Very cautious maybe preparing us for a period on the bench?

They asked him directly how he felt about the Cornet signing I thought it was Radio 5 will check as listened to two interviews on the way home and his reply is pretty accurate paraphrasing.

My favourite phrase on this thread is " I've heard......." which i presume is to imply some sort of knowledge above the level of I've read or my mate says.

Am I right in thinking even though I have a fully paid up clarets player subscription till Sept. I have to pay extra for these games? If so that's why it keeps asking me to sign in even though I'm signed in and wont give me video only audio.
