I assume it's a reference to the OOC players, and this could be a potential issue if the season is extended, and given the sheer amount of games that could well happen again. The season can’t be extended though…it has to finish by May 22nd. The World Cup is the problem; it’s placement in Nov/Dec 20...

Wow! This is hard but I’d have to go for the following:

Heaton
Trippier - - Keane - - Mee - - Ward
Elliot - - Defour - - Barton - - Blake
Ings - - Wood

Subs: Pope, Tarkowski, McNeil, Arfield, Cornet, Duff, Vokes

It reads as if it’s a club decision

Certainly does.

I’d imagine then that a replacement has already been identified, sounded out etc and that it’s just a case of signing a contract…

BurnleyPaul

Jump or push I wonder…?

Based on watching Amazon Prime… Pope 8- did what he had to do with no problems. Very good to see him coming so decisively for balls near the edge of the area. Lowton 7- solid! Collins 9- I genuinely thought he was excellent tonight! Stepped in seamlessly and looks hard to drop. If we can bring someb...

BurnleyPaul

I’d look at Jason Knight (Derby)- he’s fit again, we’ve been interested in the past apparently and he’s 20/21 so plenty of time for him to develop. He also knows and has played international football alongside Nathan Collins so perhaps we can use that link.

BurnleyPaul

Is he one of the potentials “discovered” by our new scouting app?

BurnleyPaul

Possibly because they want Chris Wilder and unless they get him now then he’ll take the Boro job…he was at the Riverside today watching the game apparently.

BurnleyPaul

Mainly family at the funeral.

A few ex-club staff were there but nobody I recognised as being “current”. Quite surprising really…

I took Bernard and, as I expected, he was in tears.

BurnleyPaul

That was Laurie Sivelle used to have a fish stall in Eastcote till he retired about 10 years ago. Does after dinner speaking, ex ipswich town footballer Laurie’s a lovely bloke! I used to play pétanque (boules) in the same team as him when I lived in Suffolk. Really down to earth, friendly, and fun...

BurnleyPaul

I knew he’d been retired a long time. Bernard used to have a treasure trove in the cricket field stand, stuff that had been thrown away such as the official opening plaque for the Centre Spot. People like him and Jim, and there are others, are what have made the club. He still has a serious chunk o...

Bernard must be getting on now, it’s years since he retired.

In his 80s…

BurnleyPaul

Like many people have already said, a true gentleman, used to enjoy putting the club to rights chatting to him and Bernard when we were down at the club getting balls of the Bob Lord and replacing floodlight bulbs, no doubt he was a character. RIP Jim you were one of our finest Bernard is still goi...

I'll take your word for that but Barnes looked good when he came on yesterday.

I was just glad that Kevin Friend wasn’t being as card happy by the time Barnes came on….

BurnleyPaul

Academy director (or academy manager) is not there to coach really. The key role in the academy is the head of coaching which is held by Ian Jones. Are we likely to see much change in the way of coaching staff do you think CT? Obviously there’s anew U23 coach required to replace Steve Stone but wil...

You say "only joking" but who in the team is he replacing?

Johan Berg Gudmundsson…

He’ll play as an inverted winger on the right primarily. That’s where his best work for Lyon was done by all accounts.

So many of them but you will need to put Grant in goal, McDonald was only here the once.

1948-1950 (zero appearances though)
1951-1961

Who would you go for at LB then?

Here’s my effort- thoughts? Manager: Harry Potts (GK) Colin MacDonald (RB) Phil Bardsley (CB) Vince Overson (CB) Steve Davis (Mk II) (LB) Joe Jakub (RW) Willie Morgan (CM) Martin Dobson (CM) Brian Flynn (LW) Leighton James (ST) Adrian Heath (ST) Jay Rodriguez Subs: Lee Grant Steve Kindon Peter Swan ...

They’ve spent £100m this window now. Hoping they now need to recover some of that outlay and praying we’ll be the ones that do.

Absolutely disgraceful what they’ve done here. In what way? This will inevitably have a financial benefit for Accrington- which is good for them. We will likely be insisting on a certain standard and quality of pitch- which will also be good for Accrington’s own teams. This is evidence of a closer ...

Good question

Triallists in both squads that managers don’t wanting word getting out about perhaps?

BurnleyPaul

Wonder if he’s being replaced or if the role is being subsumed into something else?

Really would love to find out how ALK are reshaping things in the recruitment area in order to improve it.

Is there any chance of transparency over this I wonder?

BurnleyPaul

Interesting….looks like the back room reshuffling is continuing. Wonder if he left of his own volition?

Neither of their LinkdIn profiles show them having left us....

(1) This is a truly epic batshit crazy transfer rumour. (2) Itd be great if it happened- just to see the faces of EVERY other football club, fan, reporter etc in the country. (3) I sincerely doubt it would EVER happen. I wonder if Tripps is friends with him and could put a good word in though? :lol:

BurnleyPaul

I remember in the first month or so after ALK completed their takeover seeing a job advert they put out for some sort of data analyst/scouting role and it was honestly night and day in terms of presentation compared to previous stuff I'd seen produced by the club.... Equally, I recall thinking that...

Barnes fans = fine him and let’s get on with it... Barnes haters = flog him and sack him and burn him and never let him play for the club again. Am a Barnes fan but my feelings on this are definitely more akin to what you say about Barnes haters. Like or dislike the man- he cannot be defended over ...

Bye bye Ashley... Get him sold this summer to whoever wants to buy him. I don’t think there’ll be many (any?) takers in the Premier League so any reasonable offer from a championship club and we should accept it. I don’t think I’d openly transfer list him but I’d certainly let his agent know that he...

Having taken the academy from the **** state it was in all the way through to Category 1 in a damn short time it’d be a very big surprise if Jon Pepper was the person who’ll be edged out. The only reason I can see for him going would be if there were personal differences between him and Alan Pace/AL...

Contract renewals....need I say more?

BurnleyPaul

New owners rang the owner of CWR and said they were removing it. Didn't like the wording. Concerning that seemed to be a priority. Not if the new owners are thinking about foreign markets and part of their business plan is to try and attract sponsorship, sales etc from those markets. For instance; ...

BurnleyPaul

Has he been at the club 21 years consecutively or did he leave for a short spell and come back? Not a real shock to see the owners wanting their own people in. IIRC he was a reporter at the Burnley Express back in the early/mid 90’s. He left there and went to Wrexham as Chief Executive or similar a...

Isn’t Jonjoe Kenny out of contract at the end of the season? Isn’t this move to Celtic just a loan move?

Would be a good signing from all accounts just surprised this is a position we are prioritising.

This takes time...(see Stephens, D for an example ...
