Think we need a winger too. Regarding the number 10, I would personally have a more creative type than Jay, and Dawson ((supposedly)) has very high wage demands I’m not too worried about a winger, I’d actually prioritise a LB over a winger. Jay and Dawson are my choice simply because I think it’s n...

It doesn’t include Foreign Investment, as I think that’s Pie in the Sky stuff. Burnley are just not an attractive investment. I reiterate that they are not a guarantee of wise stewardship, either. Forget Portsmouth and R*vers, look at Hull, Cardiff, and Swansea. For me it involves taking more of a ...

MRG

What do we need? I think we are only a CB and a number 10 short. Jay and Dawson would suit me

We certainly have to adapt. I just hope we adapt with circumspection, and not wild abandon. What do you think adapting looks like? What would you change? I struggle to see a future as a top flight club without a big money investor which I understand brings its own risk. What’s worrying is that we a...

Burnley’s ‘Playing it Safe’ model has seen us win two automatic promotions to the Prem(one immediately after being relegated), has seen us finish in our highest position since 1974, and finish in Europe for the first time in half a century. It’s also seen us invest in a brand new training facility....

So to answer my original question why did you feel the need to misrepresent his post deliberately?

Absolutely my point also. School ground bullying

MRG

Obviously not no. But they can afford to take more of a risk on signings. It’s a void argument. Having a foreign big bucks investor will ‘inevitably’ lead to relegation but it’s not the end of the world because they can afford to take the risk. The alternative is clubs like Burnley playing it safe ...

And who will replace them all?

We've had five players that have gone on to become England internationals that have been signed by said recruitment team!

Embarrassing for us, chasing players around that have no intension of joining us whilst having no plan B

Did he moan about relegation or about recruitment?

MRG

Let’s not forget that previous windows have also been embarrassing. Finishing well took the pressure of the recruitment team

MRG

That’s a risky road to go down. For Clubs like us, Huddersfield, Brighton, Middlebrough eat al, I don’t think theirs many Foreign Investors beating our door down. And if they are they carry the large risk of being utter duck eggs, like the Venkys. Be careful what you wish for. Either way, I think w...

Ha ha - if you would like me to prevent other people from starting threads then that's fine with me, but it will ruin the board. I've locked the other one to suit you.

These articles should be locked when duplicating ongoing threads, they make the messageboard messy

Any links to this interview?

If this is true then our situation is far worse than I suspected. Losing 1 ‘done deal’ unexpectedly is one thing but for the same thing to happen 4 times raises massive questions about our recruitment processes

If you want cheap then the best option is bagged. Either a Henry or a Miele. Miele is a bit pricier but they're top quality e.

Miele is fantastic value for money! Highly recommended

And ultimately we won’t know how good the school is until the first set of GCSE results come through

MRG

Looking at them like for like, St Teds, St Hildas, Ivy Bank, what we got in return for these schools is criminal

I would definitely find it bizarre if the police had to decide which of the two incidents they should investigate. Sadly a sign of the times! This is probably where the problem is. Resources are stretched. I was talking to a copper recently, he said to cover Burnley and Rossendale on a Saturday nig...

Do you live next to a fire station? I expect most fires a reported by someone rather than being spotted by a fireman. Anyway, the house fire analogy wasn’t the best. How about if your living room window was smashed in and you got back from holiday to find that your house had been cleared. You conta...

MRG

They should be able to see the flames. If not they could put a post on fb saying we heard there was a fire. Anybody’s house burning?

MRG

How well schools perform is very much down to the head teacher. If the head is good they will attract good teachers. The best example of this is the old Ivy Bank School under Mr Ball. Excellent Offsted reports, great results for the majority of students , good performing sports teams and drama etc ...

MRG

Really? You’re talking garbage. If you were on holiday and your house was on fire would you be happy to get home to a burned down house to find that the police were waiting for you to report the incident? I’d expect the fire brigade to come to the actually fire rather than driving around a differen...

Haha I can accept that. I was worried he was suggesting that I may find urine throwing an appropriate behaviour (outside of the bedroom)

I’m not sure of police policy for something like this but I would expect them to attend the scene and take a statement. If they didn’t then that’s clearly poor. Your second sentence is ridiculous though, are you suggesting that because a crime isnt reported by the victim, but by someone else, it sh...

MRG

You really think that someone being verbally abused, intimidated, and then having had p1ss poured in then isn’t a victim of crime? If it happened this should have all resources thrown at it but at the time of the fb post there was no report from a victim simply another night time reveller giving th...

MRG

Not at all. All crime should be investigated. However I presume that the police attended the scene of the van break in and ascertained that there wasn’t enough evidence to proceed any further with the investigation. If there are no witnesses or evidence then how would you suggest the police follow ...

MRG

So basically you want a police force that's starved of resources and cash to throw a lot of money at trying to ascertain who broke into a car, when they are trying to prevent terrorist atrocities, protect the vulnerable and keep us all safe? Absolutely not, I’m suggesting they start with the crimes...

MRG

In a world of limited resources yes, you have to prioritise. That's how you run a country. Also it wasn't ignored, it was recorded. In reality, unlike a murder (which is easier to solve) a robbery from a van is a low impact crime. So where the crime is very hard to solve but the overall impact is l...

MRG

EASY Crime now top priority

MRG

This, it's the hardest crime to solve. Very often no evidence left at scene, victim is random with no links to perp, no witnesses. Without witnesses, it is difficult to determine when a robbery has taken place and it is easier to have a viable alibi. Where do we draw the line? Do we investigate a b...

How do you know he didn't do it himself, an insurance scam? There are no witnesses. There are witnesses to this assault, so it's strange that this is the one you have doubts over. That’s exactly why they must investigate, if this is an insurance scam let’s get him prosecuted as it is our premiums t...

Walton wrote:How do you know the van break in happened?

Because the victim reported it to the police

MRG

The only parallel I’m drawing is that 1 crime definitely happened and had a victim and 1 crime may of happened but at the stage of going to fb there was no agreived party.

The crime that had resources thrown at it wasn’t the crime that definitely happened and had a victim.

Bearing in mind the football world seems to find spitting one of the most disgusting things you can do, I'm wondering how those people would feel about someone giving a lad homophobic abuse and then tipping a bottle of p1ss on their head.
