It'll be a real shame if we don't get to see the best of Collins in claret and blue but I guess if the sale helps to rebuild the team for a promotion push then so be it.

We've kicked the can down the road for a year They cover his wages, we don't have to worry about him for a year, and he gets to play at a level that he wants to and it won't affect his chances of getting in the Dutch team (Wesley Snjeders was at one of the big Turkish clubs for at least a couple of...

He may have been offered a short term contract under the previous management but chose instead to join Rooney at Derby as a player/coach.. with our change of management and the Derby opportunity up in smoke, maybe he's left without options and feels a tadge bitter. I don't buy all this only finding ...

Anyone flying from Gatwick….what a doddle this morning, dropped bags off last night, got to airport at 5.10 this morning through security in 10 minutes, pint now securely in hand!! Yeah I did all that last week and thought easy peasy.. then sat on the plane for two and a half hours waiting for the ...

I personally think the whole 'Van Gaal World Cup' thing is total ********. Otherwise he could take a short 6 month move somewhere and come back when the WC is over. He clearly just doesn't want to play in the Championship, or take a hit on his wages. There's no way that if Weghorst stayed with us a...

It's a baffling move on his part.. no disrespect to Turkey's league but is it any more high profile than the Championship ?.. surely if his main aim is to stay in Van Gaal's thoughts for the World Cup, it would be much easier to take in a Championship game in the same weekend as a Premier League gam...

It wouldn't surprise me if we were trying to set up a pipeline as such with City. With high sell on fees for players we acquire from them. Maybe way out but wouldn't surprise me 3 or 4 coming in from City for reasonable fees but with 40/50% selling on fees Kompany gets on very well with Arteta too

Woonderbah

There's also chatter Collins has a release clause which would take it out of our - and his - hands if someone triggers it. So not remotely the same. Here's one for the barristers on here.. if a bid was made which triggered the release clause, could the player argue that because the management has c...

Going back to the "Pope to Newcastle" rumour, there could be some room to add some of their fringe players to the deal, if actual transfer fees are way apart Shelvey Darlow Schar Lewis Krafth Dummett Ritchie None of the above are going to get much game time next season There's also a lad called Woo...

The clubs that seem to be interested in our players are the ones more likely to be involved in a relegation scrap so that's something players will have to weigh up. I'm hoping VK can have a conversation with Collins, McNeil and Pope akin to the one Scott Parker had with Christie when he chose Bourn...

The way the club's finances are structured suggests that missing out on promotion is not an option. The unenviable task of selling assets who will make promotion more likely doesn't make sense, especially when you're trying to do it with loan players that will probably need replacing once Premier Le...

I hope he does stay and can't imagine any move is going to promote Nick higher than Pickford or Ramsdale in Southgate's eyes. He can stay put and still go to the World Cup as a squad player and VK may even improve his distribution. Here's hoping the likes of Pope, Collins and McNeil are excited abou...

Woonderbah

Pickford will be just as pleased with that signing knowing a good percentage of shots will be blocked

Woonderbah

I'd hope that the new manager would convince any of our players courted by PL teams to give him until at least January.. then assess where we are in terms of an instant return.. if finances allow

Due solely to covid, Newcastle and Villa wrote off £40m and £38m respectively so it's only right that Everton should explain why they wrote off a staggering £170m. More pressing is the explanation why the Premier League seems happy to accept this figure. It smells corrupt and gathering support from ...

The selective use of VAR has become a tool in the belt of those that seek to mold and shape the brand that is the Premier League.

I think the worry with Kevin Long stepping in is that when he's been called on before it's always been alongside either Tarks or Mee. This time he's the more senior centre half and I'm not sure he's got that leadership quality.. mainly because he's never had to show it. May need an experienced head ...

Not sure if it's the same thing but I did the tour as part of match day sponsorship a few years ago now. It included visiting the board room, trophy room and changing rooms and the late great Andy Lochhead was an excellent guide.
Hope you enjoy it.

MJ may not even want that job

I'm sure he's said publicly that he doesn't want the job full time.
If he keeps us up I think Pace will make him a wealthy man with a nice bonus tho.

From what people have posted on here and our new exciting style of play I would think knutsen fits the bill in terms of continuity in the summer if we stop up, wonder if he will be persuaded to come over. Right pedigree and successful in European competition relatively, could also find some bargain...

The whole ground points at a Southampton player and roars 'Shot through the heart and you're to blame.. you give love a bad name'

Like the sound of Knudsen from what I've read about him.. plays decent stuff, not afraid to use young players and used to working within a budget.

I heard of a fist fight with a Burnley player

I'd heard Jordan Pickford was involved too.. he threw a punch but was half a yard short of its target

Woonderbah

One thing amongst others I noticed today was the playing the ball on the floor through the midfield rather than the previous default option of knocking it long.
We looked much better for it.
And the players looked like they enjoyed it too.

Wherever SD goes, I don't think he'll be afforded the patience and control he's enjoyed at Burnley.

With the upcoming managerial clear out at Old Trafford, I'm surprised Phelan hasn't been suggested

I think the chap standing next to Bielsa during his interviews spoke more sense than him.. employing him would surely be cheaper

We actually knocked it about a bit in the first half and created a few chances. Second we replaced our 6ft 6 striker with Vydra we starting lumping aimless long balls forward. Bizarre. This happens time after time. Two big centre halves with no pace and the turning circle of an oil tanker and we pe...

The destinies of both BFC and Sean Dyche boil down to the next 11 games. We know what's needed.. nicking draws won't be enough.. we need wins. If SD has ambitions of managing at a more top end Premier League club then the next 11 games will be his curriculum vitae.. Clubs that have been tracking his...

Do agree with this. I always worry when teams let us have possession (it’s obvious) so that we push on and then invariably get done on the turnover. United & Liverpool away being prime examples this season. West Brom away few years ago springs to mind.. one of the few games we had the majority of p...

One positive with dropping down a league is that we will have to trim the wage bill which will focus on the need to bring home grown talent through. My argument will always be that it's easier to stay in this league than win promotion to it. We don't need to drop a division to inject some youth int...

Definitely a lack of quality on display tonight but it does baffle me why we don't get the ball on the floor and pass it to feet.. the swirling wind isn't an issue then

It will mean he’s been at Birmingham, Villa & West Brom. Not many will have done that although Ron Saunders did some years ago.

There does seem to be some talented free agents looking for clubs.. I appreciate they're free agents for a reason and usually have a challenging injury record but could arguably benefit our midfield on a short term deal https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/burnley-wilshere-premier-lea...

Alex James: ‘On Dan Gosling, no offer made to Watford as yet. Midfielder is a player of interest to Burnley, albeit further down the list of targets, and the Hornets would sanction a departure. But nothing doing at moment.’ Why is Dan Gosling even on the list? I believe it's so the other players ca...

An excellent well fought point.. some outstanding defending and with a little more composure and luck going forward, could have nicked all three points

The Premier League allowed injuries as well as covid cases to be taken into account when postponing a game. In my opinion, it should just be taken on the percentage of covid cases and then any holes plugged with squad or u23 players. Yes, it's a shambles but we're only doing what others have done al...
