It was Stockport in the 90’s when the two loons decided to run from the Stockport end climb the fence and jump into the away end! Predictably it didn’t end well for them.

I would be very surprised if the takeover was announced today

Why?

When does that happen?

Tomorrow would be a good choice of day for it to happen given it is our second biggest shareholder’s birthday.

Sunday I think!

It would certainly give the club a much needed morale boost if announced tomorrow.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Is tomorrow going to be the day or are they going to coincide it with Jordan North winning I’m a Celebrity?!

Its from todays Press Conference , as pointed out by Bodge

Absolutely bizarre this and hadn’t realised Dyche had said this at the press conference today. Sure the new owners will have realised there is no way that both of them can stay on at the club.

Steve-Harpers-perm

It was a really wild night, I was outside before the game & there was a lot of trouble with the police then, I think the numbers shocked them & the willingness of a large number of Burnley fans who were up for a battle. I’m sure it was on a good Friday? A few years ago I got talking to a guy on hol...

And what is the situation if the new owners retain Garlick as the executive chairman

End of Dyche as our manager at a guess!

Steve-Harpers-perm

IF we do get taken over by ALK or El-no-Kash then what will they do to improve the present situation? A couple of new ‘quality’ players? A new chairman? Reduce the player’s wages? New training/coaching techniques? New scouting system based on computerised data? What would YOU do in their position? ...

Steve-Harpers-perm

There was a spell in the early 2000’s where the club at the end of the season had a weekend where teams could hire to play on the turf. Music coming out of the tunnel plus a video of the ‘action’ to purchase afterwards!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Maybe last day of November will see the announcement! Pretty confident after just seeing Clive Holt outside the Turf main entrance wearing a cowboy hat, draped in the American flag and supping from a bottle of bud.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Horrible club. As above all because of a Friday night in 1988. Amazing to think in 2002 they were a championship club.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Is this the same McNeil who ‘doesn’t want to be here’ who recently signed an extended contract?

Steve-Harpers-perm

He’s already proven himself good enough to be part of a team that’s finished 7th and 10th in recent seasons!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Right back and right winger are key in January. Also be looking at a replacement for Brady and obviously Tarkowski.

Depends if Garlick stays on as Chairman and continues to do all the negotiating

Can’t see him staying on.

Said on another thread, it’s got in their heads now. It’s just total fear from the kick off.

Liverpool are at least as good a side, but we usually at least give them a decent game.

We usually give a good account at all the ‘top’ teams apart from City.

Steve-Harpers-perm

He’s a good defender but really didn’t understand the need for him or his agent to publicly declare he wants to leave. Those conversations and thoughts should be kept in house. For as poor as his pass was for the first goal I thought he was superb on Monday night against Palace and played well at Br...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Hopefully with new owners it might see us feel a bit more optimistic going into the January market!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Certainly notice a growing trend with some posters constant criticism of McNeil. Maybe if we had any sort of current threat going forward on the opposite flank then all the pressure wouldn’t be on him.

Steve-Harpers-perm

How anyone can give the keeper 3 is beyond me. From memory since 1999 we have let 6 in twice against city 5 at least 5 times and 4 plenty more. He hardly made massive errors on the goals. Sure he wouldn’t have wanted to let 5 in. But more established keepers for us and indeed others have done that ...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Announcement presumably waiting on the Premier League approval.

Steve-Harpers-perm

The OP seems to have developed a bit of an unhealthy obsession with McNeil.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Lot of drama on this about moving grounds, ticket pricing etc. How about let the new owners tell us of their immediate plans. The two majority shareholders who are clarets and selling to them are obviously confident in how they are going to move the club forward.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Peter Shilton won’t be happy with this.

Steve-Harpers-perm

I wish we had an understanding of what sort of finance they have behind them. It would be very interesting to have an idea of whether we will still be trawling for bargains from the lower divisions or whether we can seriously compete for the best from the Championship and abroad. Presume the existi...

Was wondering if SD has met up with either party, you would have thought both would want to know his intentions, possible targets....just a thought That would be very interesting to know with the window only another few weeks off opening. Suppose the targets will depend on what backing is going to ...

Steve-Harpers-perm

In your opinion in might be. The article produced evidence. You might want to offer evidence to counter it? Or are you suggesting he wouldn't be a better player with an attacking manager? He’s already shown us what a good attacking player he’s been under Dyche as the stats show. No surprise that th...

Both signed extension till summer 2022.

Steve-Harpers-perm

They did a piece on him in the Athletic a few weeks ago that Dwight is seeing far more of the ball than when he first came in the side but a lot further back on the pitch than he used to. Everyone knew his attacking instincts would get coached out of him. For his own career he needs an attacking ma...

Steve-Harpers-perm

A right winger with some pace and skill is a priority in January. This will help take the pressure off McNeil.

Progression beyond the 3rd round of the FA Cup?!

Seriously though, hope it pans out

FA Cup win and Kieron Trippier to sign!

I hate playing City id dread to think what the aggregate score must be over the past 20 odd years! Witnessed so many drubbings against them both home and away.

A hamstring injury suggests unfortunately another long spell out for Brady. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the last time we see him in a Burnley shirt.

It’s great to see the positivity he has brought to the town and club. Hopefully the team will back it up with a win tonight!

Steve-Harpers-perm

Only two of Dyche’s signings have been good? Care to name them? Two is being generous if we can all ignore the likes of Heaton, Michael Keane, Andre Gray, Joey Barton, Chris Wood, Nick Pope, Charlie Taylor etc etc. Such a weird thing from supposed Burnley fans almost suggesting Dyche for the last 8...

Dyche has had his hands tied year after year in the transfer market, judge him when he has had some serious money to spend.

Have you forgot to change your username!?

Steve-Harpers-perm

Isn’t it around £45m ? Something like that. I can’t think of a team over a similar period in this league who has had a lower net spend....yet some just trot out the same old rubbish about how poor a transfer record SD has. It’s a really strange and lazy argument given the success he has brought us.

Steve-Harpers-perm

Yes it has, nobody can deny the great job he's done. But having money to spend will bring extra problems for him and force him out of his comfort zone a bit. We have no idea it will bring ‘extra problems’. Comfort zone makes no sense given he can only work with what he’s got unless he demands that ...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Nothing to do with his efforts in the transfer market. Our team has largely been similar throughout. However look at our squad now. It’s a complete shambles, Embarrassing for a premier league club. Not al Dyches fault granted but he shoulders a fair percentage of the blame. Nothing to do with his e...

Because he's too loyal to his old favourites? He wouldn't even drop Barnes last season when he was injured and his performances absolutely stunk.

His loyalty to the old favourites has worked out quite well over the past 8 years.

Steve-Harpers-perm

:lol: doesn’t take much to trigger the usual zealots. For the time Dyche has been with us his transfer record has been poor. He’s been with us a long time too long now Yes you are right. Imagine where we could have finished instead of 7th and 10th if he was actually any good in the transfer market.

Steve-Harpers-perm

I just hope we can get a win or two in the next few games to give the league table less of the disastrous look it has at the moment. The bottom four are already looking slightly adrift, that gap cannot widen. I fear how the league form is going could be a delaying factor in the takeover (if we aren...

It does depend how much money we are chucking at it. Dyche has to be given the chance. He has more than earned that.

Absolutely. Imagine guiding us to two top ten finishes on our current budget and then being binned off when some real investment arrives.

First transfer we should do is transfer Dyche out the door. He’s hopeless in the market.

Yes great idea!?

Steve-Harpers-perm

That is where it could get interesting with Dyche and his "narrow" target list. We may well be capable of buying a higher quality player whereas Dyche will still be chasing his long term favourites...like he did with Stephens. Would be interesting to see how Dyche adapts to a bigger budget. If this...

Steve-Harpers-perm

Article in today’s paper that Dyche has been told all January potential signings (presumably not many anyway and probably from Aldi FC) put on hold......that’ll lighten the mood...... Appreciate they’re trying to sell the club but don’t often see owners trying to drive the business into the ground ...

Reads as though Taylor likely to start. No surprise JBG and Brady injured again. Their bodies evidently aren’t up to playing at this level of football anymore.
