When KRBFC and NewcastleClaret are you’re main sources it’s time to hang up your boots

These rumours have been around for quite some time and resurface every now and then. They may have eventually made the payments, but there's a fire somewhere causing this smoke.

Which sort of fits in with what Pace has said today

It does. Give them their dues, ALK are decent at PR.

Can we all calm down now?

If you request an extension to pay an instalment, which is then paid within that extended time frame, I guess you could say it was technically paid on time. Because ALK certainly did not pay the first instalment on the initial date agreed.

Sleeping Cat

Turned us down to go to London

This has been the case for the last two years and was the main reason we never signed any of the people scouted and recommended by Rigg and his team. Dyche has always wanted seasoned players who give him the best chance of staying up, staying in a job and keeping his reputation high. Signing potent...

Trippier Mee Mcneil

Trippier & Mee were signed by Howe. McNeil was released by United at 14 and signed to our Academy then back in 2014.

Stop getting overrun in midfield 4-5-1 without the ball, 4-3-3 with the ball.

Sleeping Cat

Given the success we had with Michael Keane you would have thought we would have gone big in this type of loan For some reason, it would appear Dyche has other ideas given no further similar ventures Couldn't agree more jojo. It worked and seemed a good way to get someone with the pedigree to the c...

"The way I see it Dyche will stay on his well trodden path and only be looking for experienced players to play in this coming relegation battle So. he will be looking for the likes of a Ramsey, Mata, Matic or Jones (as examples) whereas the recruitment team are seemingly now looking in a different m...

Perhaps he felt that long term, he had more chance of playing in the Premier League Which in itself is a perceived reputation about the club. If player don't want to come because they think we could realistically go down, that's a reflection of the state of the club, team, tactics etc. Worth pointi...

Bournemouth probably matched what we offered as they can afford to. Christie was never going to be offered the same salary as other players anyway.

So salary the same, but in the division below. He chose to go to Bournemouth because they play in a way that suits him more.

If we are offering more than they currently earn it won't.

Like Christie from Celtic who chose to go to Bournemouth instead?

Sleeping Cat

Our previous unsuccessful loans will definitely go against us trying to secure additional loans for younger players. Teams want game time for their loanee's and Dyche doesn't always provide that. The Drinkwater loan was a bit different, an established player on the decline whose parent team just wan...

Sleeping Cat

As strong as possible line up for me. maybe a couple of changes to give some a go and also not reward the shambles that was Leeds. Tarks can sit this one out and give Collins another chance. Roberts can come in too, see what he can do. ...............Hennesey Roberts - Collins- Mee - Taylor JBG - We...

Sleeping Cat

Speaks well and conveys his ideas well, but I still find his comments about relegation and how it would not really impact the club incredibly naive.

Sleeping Cat

Personally, ALK have always come across a bit naive when it comes to many things about our club and football in general, but no more so than when it came to relegation and how they will deal with it. How the business model will work with such a huge loss in turnover when the structure of the initial...

Arfield played in Rangers' 3rd round CL qualifier this season. They lost so they didn't make the group stage, so I don't know if that means by definition that hasn't played Champions league.

Sleeping Cat

Scott Arfield (Rangers)
Remco Van Der Schaff (PSV)

Sleeping Cat

Bit earlier than 2009 but Luke Chadwick made a few appearances in the CL. Slightly earlier still, David May.

Sleeping Cat

I always think Vydra plays best in partnership with Jay. I'm a Chris Wood fan, his record for us is superb, but maybe it is time to drop him and give both Vydra and Jay a run in the team, especially if Cornet is out for a while. It worked at Chelsea, we looked excellent when they both came on.

Sleeping Cat

The best person to get us out of this position is Sean Dyche. As JohnMcGreal said though "2. The financial security of the club is now almost completely dependent on retaining our PL status." and I do wonder if, despite all the open praise in the media and the awarding of a lucrative 4 year contract...

Sleeping Cat

I think this is a good appointment by Norwich. Smith (similarly to Dyche) much more pragmatic than Farke and won't be a rigid in his approach so might be able to grind more results out.

Sleeping Cat

Said on another thread, the newcastle link was immediately as the club was taken over. With Howe now in charge there I can see them going for Ake from City. West Ham or Leicester are the clubs that Tarks will end up at. West Ham, with Ogbonna out for the season now, look the most likely to go for hi...

Sleeping Cat

Is it?... Really? I must have been washing my hair every time Rangers won a European trophy. That's not what GIADJ said. Winning trophies AND European football. On an ambition level, a move to Rangers could make sense to have a chance to win trophies and play more regular European football. Success...

Sleeping Cat

Genuine question, if you were Liverpool right now would you rather sign Gerrard after winning the SPL last season or sign Moyes after what he has achieved at West Ham? I don't think any Liverpool fan would want Moyes. Former Everton & Man Utd, counter attacking football. Club Legend with success in...

He’ll have his eye on the Liverpool job when Klopp goes and will need a tougher test than the Scottish league to prove he’s good enough. "Done all he can at Rangers,if he does a good job at Villa,the Liverpool Job will eventually be his,which is just what he wants." Would Liverpool be more likely t...

Sleeping Cat

Obviously the Prem is a step up from SPL, but I'm not sure why he has left Rangers for Villa. What can he realistically achieve with Villa? a top 10 finish? With Rangers he can win titles and progress in Europe. I'd argue it would've been better to stay at rangers and continue to build his reputatio...

Think DCL looks pretty cool in this pic.

Sleeping Cat

When the rumours first surfaced that Tarks could be a target for Newcastle in the January window it was literally as the takeover happened and given how it has taken them a bit longer than expected to bring in a manager, after being turned down by at least one (Emery), I think the source of these ru...

I liked Eddie when he was with us. He left for family reasons and that always needs to be respected. It was also 9 years ago and maybe his circumstances have changed that would see him move further away from his long term home to a place like Newcastle to take a new job. However, the fact he looked ...

Sleeping Cat

The thing that bothers me is that this is the same squad with additions that played some brilliant football at Palace, Everton, Wolves last season so there is football in the squad so as manager it`s up to Dyche to ensure that this type of performance is the norm as much as possible not the borefes...

Sleeping Cat

ALK have put themselves in a very difficult position with Sean. As they came in they went on the charm offensive openly stating how he was "integral" to their plans, probably to help influence his decision to sign a new contract. It put the ball in Sean's court, knowing how much they wanted him to s...

I would personally go as full strength as possible. Winning games, especially against strong teams helps with confidence and the mentality of the group going into the next game. We need a spark, this could be it.

Hi Sleeping Cat, I've done a little bit of digging since earlier. The digging has taken me to AiScout's LinkedIn profile. There's some good stuff there. I didn't know - and I haven't seen it mentioned on this mb - that AiScout and Burnley were featured on Click, the BBC's technology programme in Au...

There has been no plundering of our assets since January, McNeil/Pope/Tarks/Wood all still with us, and sensible acquisitions have been made.

But you are not eligible to receive dividends without being a shareholder? Don't shareholders have to be named? and what is Checketts' role if he doesn't own any shares?

ALK acquired an interest in AIScout before they acquired 84% of Burnley. Based on responses to some earlier posts this thread may shortly be locked and offending posts deleted. UTC And since they acquired 84% of Burnley they have invested more into AIScout via Burnley. This will be reflected in the...

Sleeping Cat

No, I just made the topic 'Clickbaity'... the point remains that if AiScout was to invest in the club, they wouldn't be able to at the moment. I don't see how AIScout were ever going to invest in the club when the club has already invested in AIScout. One of the first actions ALK did, out of the cl...

Prior to Morris' involvement they were run quite sensibly picking up good players for a few hundred k, particularly under Nigel Clough.
