Thanks for the clarifications. Let’s hope we find out soon.

Sean can’t continue on the way he is with the lack of investment in the squad, so something needs to change.

Steddyman

Investors invest in capital ventures. That money has to move, it can come from a private individual, meaning it wouldn’t be announced. Or it can come from a company, if that’s company reports to an exchange, then it’ll be announced. It will be announced, but only if you know what specific stock the...

I still think we’ll first see money moving on an exchange, that’ll be an early morning release.

What do you mean by that line? What money on what exchange?

Steddyman

So the posters in the know said an announcement this morning, then the Telepgraph article says ‘not imminent’ and suddenly the new stance is that it was only an announcement and because it is leaked to the press there are no more announcements likely. Sounds like this is in the early exploration sta...

Steddyman

We may find out in the morning according to some who were expecting an announcement to the markets on Friday AM. Hopefully by Friday PM we can confirm Harry Wilson, that would be a super Friday. Why would we make an announcement to the financial markets? We are a private company, not a public one.

Talking of which. What American name do people think we would get after Burnley if they want to do a Hull?

Buffaloes
Bisons

Bulldogs

You can watch the video interview here about it. He says £150 million.

Yes please. The sort of player we need to be linked with to pose a threat going forwards.

From this quote on their website, Burnley seems like ideal club for them given our investment and achievements in community engagement: 'Businesses are built-in communities and serve as a way to improve the people and facilities around them.

Steddyman

He’s not exciting, but at 2.5 million he strengthens the squad and is reasonable value.

Steddyman

Long Time Lurker, you sound like exactly the sort of person BFC should have in their recruitment team. Keep up the posts.

Steddyman

Long Timer Lurker, I enjoy your posts. Perhaps you should rename your account to 'Long Post Writer'?

I’d like a ps5 but everywhere has sold out :cry: I wouldn’t be opposed to getting an Xbox, but the fact they’ve released a “mini” version with lower specs makes me think the game developers will have to optimise Xbox games for the lower system settings. I might be talking rubbish though. Yeah, you ...

Just seen that. I'm a huge fan of Wolfenstein and Fallout so this news concerns me :shock: It's a bit wider than that, this is a massive aquisition. They are buying ZeniMax media which includes all of the following. They also bought BioWare a little while ago, so Xbox Series X will be the place to ...

Steddyman

I've pre-ordered the PS5, but will be getting the Xbox Series X with Game Pass Unlimited on the £28 a month deal. That's just too good a deal to pass up. I'll be getting cross platform games on the Xbox Series X because it is quite a bit more powerful than the PS5. Also, if you don't have a 4K TV, t...

:lol: If Rigg has identified way over a thousand players who would make suitable signings then he definitely isn’t doing his job right. It’s clear that Rigg is the new Hoos for many fans.

Doesn't sound as serious as it looked thank goodness. He was not hospitalized:

Favourite games are of course Zelda and Mario games. Also The Last of Us and Uncharted games.

Currently I am playing A Plague Tale on PC atm and it is an incredible game. Highly recommended. It was on sale on Steam at the weekend for only £15.

Steddyman

We need that Investor and we need it quick. Garlick is too risk averse. You have to take some risk but it needs to be balanced.

Only three seasons ago we were signing £12-18 million pound players on a regular basis.

7 signings before our first league game has surely got to be a record?

And none of them will get anywhere near the first team.

Steddyman

So he has a reasonable release clause and we are bidding half of it.

Tomorrows headline will be 'Aston Villa alerted to Mainz midfielder by Burnley make £14 million bid'.

Steddyman

That looks excellent. I love everything about it. Black or Yellow kits are always my favourites.

So basically Southgate has cost us the chance of keeping Tarks simply because he refuses to select him and he thinks he will get a better chance of being picked at West Ham?

Cheers Gareth.

That's my assessment too.

Nixon on Tarkowski: “Burnley want a lot of money, wouldn’t know how to spend it anyway”

https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/stat ... 44482?s=21

He's right. We'd stick it in the bank.

Steddyman

Thanks for sharing the full article CT.

I actually do feel a little sorry for him. He is human and rejection and isolation can be painful and everyone deals with it differently.

Edit: I should add that Sean is exactly the sort of guidance he needs to put his life back on track.

No point in spending money for the sake of it.

Our transfer policy over the last few years as stood us well, we will no doubt do as we always do and make a couple of 11th hour signings.

Top fishing expedition Top Claret.

Steddyman

How old are they. Most electronic equipment like this contains electrolytic capacitors that go bad. They can actually explode and destroy the board.

I always replace the caps in anything over 20 years old.

Pickford blows your theory out of the water, along with Mings and several other players.

How exactly? PIckford plays for Everton who play play attacking football and usually alway finish in the top 10. He clearly thinks that Sean's system is flattering both Pope and Tarks, and it probably is.

Steddyman

I think Southgate didn't pick him entirely to force his hand into moving to one of the teams in the Top 6. Same will likely be with Nick on Tuesday.

Steddyman

People suggesting Delph isn't good enough need to remember that most of our squad has come from the Championship or below. Signing Ashley Westwood was greeted with the same sort of welcome and that didn't work out too bad did it.

Steddyman

Delph would be an excellent signing with at least a couple of years of game time to contribute.

Steddyman

This transfer window is becoming a joke. Only serious speculation for weeks has been around Gibson. We’ve lost 3 players in an arguably understrength squad and clearly have no replacements lined up. Our only link is a Championship centre back & now our best centre back is subject to a bid from a di...

Steddyman

What on Earth makes you think we're skint and vulnerable? Last I heard, we are the only club in the EPL with no debts. Quotes from Mike Garlick a few months ago about Burnley going to be in real trouble if the season wasn't restarted soon. Plus the fact we have lost the income from the Chinese TV d...

£20m is only £5m more than we paid for Gibson , are they deluded

No, but they know we are skint and financially vulnerable and willing to take advantage of it.

Steddyman

No, Nixon is saying the deal is a loan. They pay 70% of his wages, and a 2 million loan fee.

Steddyman

Do we really have 50 posts over an unsubstantiated rumour with no links backing it up?

Are they the best or have they just got luck with one managerial appointment?

Completely agree with this. Jury’s out. You wonder what Sean could achieve elsewhere with more investment.

Steddyman

This thread should probably be titled ' Please bail us out of the No Transfers Thread'.

Doubt either are happening.

Steddyman

Sean will be giving the board time to prove they are serious, and if we don't make a statement of intent this window, he'll be off.

Thanks. I hadn't spotted that.

Mad decision then, unless he is sending a message to Tarks to move to a bigger club!

Steddyman

Is Tarks injured and the club just haven't announced it? I haven't seen him in any of the training videos.

Bizarre decision by Southgate if not.

I posted that one about a week ago.

Steddyman

I'm for it, but it would have to be the right investor for the right reason. It is clear we cannot progress from where we are without outside investment, and Covid-19 has stretched the clubs finances even more than normal. It will be a testing season without it.

Steddyman

Apparently we are after a Omar Colley from Sampdoria.

Tarks replacement?

https://onefootball.com/en/news/newcast ... y-30736982

Steddyman

Not that we have any say in this, but if it's £60 million we should sell him. Our strength comes from the entire time, and not an individual. We could get some quality additional players with that money. Also, we shouldn't stand in the lads way if that is what he wants.

Steddyman

I work with a Forest STH who rates Cash very highly. Not saying there’s anything in it at all as I don’t know, but I always find these things a little more believable when they break at the selling clubs end, and this has done. Forest fans believe we offered £15m and they want 20. It sounds nothing...
