Leeds aren't a big club because they "pushed the narrative that they're massive" though are they? They're a big club because Leeds is a really big city with an absolutely huge catchment area. Is it small minded to think that the American owners can't make us into a really big city and take away the...

I know how to grow a business, I've done it several times.
Come back to me when you're able to do the same.

Well I wasn't expecting a rude response from a genuine question, anyway the answer is onfield success.

Thoughts about JRod:

Jay is Burnley through and through
I cant believe people are calling him
If he were anywhere else we would be raving about signing him

raving about signing a 32 year old with 1 PL goal all last season? I don't think so.

You said Tammy Abraham was sh!te, he's a million miles ahead of J Rod.

KRBFC

Absolutely. Would have to dig through and can’t really be bothered but fairly sure an Irish journalist broke Collins initially and he’s just followed that on this summer and got lucky. Similar strategy with Worrall that hasn’t worked (yet). Can’t remember the original BPF source but he then linked ...

KRBFC

It's being done alongside. We've got Collins, we've got what appears to be a decent No2 goalie. We very nearly signed young, we are trying to get Albrighton and Cornet. There are probably other things going on we haven't heard about, but the club are clearly trying to get players in. Do you know th...

KRBFC

One of the reasons why Utd and Spurs signed South Korean players was for their marketing potential. It's one of the oldest tricks in the book but it works. Yes they had to be good enough in the first place, but part of the attraction was expanding the global brand/fanbase. If we went out and signed...

Gradually we will grow from remaining in the Premier League, Everton have never been outside of the PL. What is their income compared to ours?

Basically there's nothing wrong with the squad that £50million wouldn't comfortably fix

The squad has been left to age and rot for a number of years, it's due a refresh and with the amount of players out of contract next summer it's important we start that refresh now.

KRBFC

That's true but all teams rely on their solid spine, even someone like City struggle if they've got mainstays missing, the difference is they can afford to pack their squad with multi million pound fringe players, so if they do suffer injuries they aren't as impacted as a club near the foot of the ...

KRBFC

1 injury and we can't win a game, we were absolutely appalling without Pope last year. We started without Mee/Tarkowski and were dreadful. Wood had a poor run of form and we couldn't score. We are heavily heavily reliant upon Wood, Mee, Tarkowski and Pope. If 1 of those is missing we'll struggle, if...

KRBFC

In what sense? Fan base? That’s all They have. The quality of their side is miles behind any premier league side, commercially Rangers and Celtic are miles behind any Premier league side. They play in a backwater league. Why do you think all the players are want to move to the premier league? You c...

At the moment we probably have enough player assets in Pope, Wood and McNeil to clear a large debt should the unthinkable happen and we go down. Would you be ok with ALK selling our most expensive 3 players to pay for their debt? A debt which was taken out to pay for their shares? Why would ALK not...

KRBFC

There's many clubs and leagues worldwide who are financially crippled at the moment, this is where the PL riches should be cherry picking and financially bullying the poor into handing us their best assets. It's a shame we are now poor and in debt too.

KRBFC

So what and where have you based your judgement on? I don't think you have been watching the U23s live and they only have very limited time in the 1st X1. So I think you're a little bit silly writing them off. I think some of them are real prospects, Richardson being the main one. It's a hell of a ...

A lot of usual worry about a pre season friendly performance. Normally bodes well for the season ahead.

We lost to Accy and Chesterfield in pre-season and then went on and won the Championship title

just remind me how many players the other teams have signed ?...............

For me, this isn't about players incoming. I think we'll get a couple of cheap players in, I'm not hitting the panic button about the transfer window yet, I'll wait until the end of the window before making judgement.

KRBFC

Spot on, we have rolled over and had our tummies tickled, no doubt - by people with long hands and very short pockets. We have reportedly paid Garlick £102M so far, with the £60M MSD loan, a little from ALK and the rest from the clubs £42m in the bank prior to the takeover. The worrying thing is we...

KRBFC

Why assume Chester would do that? He has been incredibly sceptical of change from the very beginning. He’d only point out something factually wrong, not the sentiment. He's an informative poster is Chester, I enjoy his contribution more than most, he appears to just have an opposite view of the tak...

KRBFC

Instead of the club spending £90m on transfers, the club has spent £90m on new owners. Many fans on here have previously said taking out debt for new players would've been ridiculous, irresponsible etc. If we spent £90M on transfers under Garlick in 1 window and used debt for it, many would be worri...

KRBFC

We'd have been in a much better spot if Garlick used the £30m (that ALK apparently used to buy the club with it's own money) on transfers. We'd have also been in a better spot if Garlick took out a £60M loan with MSD to fund transfers. We have spent a **** ton of money from the club, we have committ...

We paid about 2 Bob for him! What were you expecting, Messi! Not quite Leisure, £1m transfer fee. £37,500 a week = £1,950,000 per season, 2 year deal = £3,900,000 in wages. As we all know agents are heavily involved in deals, players often receive signing on fees and here at Burnley players are mas...

KRBFC

I don’t want to agree, but I just can’t see it any other way. With the number of players out of contract next season I really expected us to invest 4-5 1st team players this window. A couple of the lads looked promising but I think expecting them to feature more than handful of games is unfair on t...

KRBFC

in my opinion - Richardson, Thomas and Gomez-Mancini all involved off the bench too this season I think? You're over egging it, I don't doubt we have some good prospects and I agree about Thomas but I see nothing to suggest they're good enough for a relegation battle in the Premier League. They may...

I bet he will be buzzing after that performance, keeping Dwight in check is no mean feat. He will be having tangerine dreams if he manages to get any sleep tonight.

Good post LTL, an uninspiring list though. I see Amine Harit is still at Schalke, 10m euros fee

I'm hoping he has got the wages/fee wrong though. He said it was expensive. 300k including wages is pittance. 300k is a good fee, they pay his wages, give us 300k and give him first team football, it's a win win win for us. I can't remember how much we paid for him but I'd guess 300k is around half...

No doubt it is. But I think people are surprised that he couldn't get first team football in the championship. Not s good sign for the lad going down to league one but it's a chance to impress nonetheless.

He couldn't get first team Championship football when we signed him.

Burnley. Looking closely at Bright Osayi Samuel. No wonder. Poss signing for this window or next.

For every one he gets right he gets several wrong. Throw enough mud, some will stick. Wilson and Worrall last summer as examples. Linked us to Osayi Samuel, rubbish.

Not to mention if Rangers and Celtic came to England they'd likely attract huge foreign investment on top of the PL riches.

Can't not be impressed with how he's just quietly gotten on with his coaching career, no fuss, not expected to land a managerial job straight away. Undoubtedly he's learnt a lot in the 3yrs at villa that should set him in good stead for the future. I was just gonna say that, he's done it the right ...

First of all... They spent way more than 10M on Maupay. Second of all probably very few of those players are being scouted at those prices. White is, however they didn't sign him from anyone.

Yes it is and they haven't been despite having the 11th highest net spend in European football. net spend includes assets purchased but doesn't factor in what those assets are worth.
