I’m sure he keeps saying James Cork

I hear Beesknees are showing it. Take a helmet and umbrella in case we score!

MRG

I’ve just heard that we have not made any further approach for Jay. Currently no offer on the table.

MRG

I can’t see Southampton coping this season

MRG

I had a meeting at the club yesterday and there were a couple of people in the office working hard to make this happen. They were hopeful

MRG

I’d take safety if offered today

He seems determined to prove that he is capable at this level which can only be a good thing for us

Yes he was!

MRG

Injured by the looks of it after a stupid tackle

MRG

We really need to be doing all we can to move on Walters and Wells before Thursday. Not good for anyone having them hanging around with no chance of playing. It doesn’t need to be before Thursday. We can loan out to championship teams after Thursday. I actually think this is when we will do most of...

Tonight’s game shows that Jay is more suited to the number 10 role than a lone striker role

MRG

Jay Rod starts for WBA tonight

MRG

This would be a fantastic signing but i would be surprised if we get him in

MRG

He went to Man Utd...... and if he’d been playing dirt team football then who knows how he would have developed, rather than going into a system that stops development for all players except the very best. To answer my question from above, there were only 2 players who played at the weekend in the ...

But he would if he had gone to Bury instead of Liverpool!! My point exactly!

MRG

Aye, a kid playing league one football at 16, securing a half a million quid move by 18 and on an upwards trajectory suggests the academy manager was bang in. Ps how many other kids are playing league football aged 16, and doing enough to secure a move to a bigger club at 18? Let’s see how he progr...

MRG

Given the money Bury have got for him at the age of 18 I'd suggest it is far from fair to say that. Although I understand the fee to be undisclosed I will accept the rumoured £500k as the fee. If we had of kept him on the books for a further 2 seasons instead of releasing him, considering the addit...

MRG

Is it fair to say that so far the academy manager looks to of been bang on that he wasn’t going to be good enough for a premier league team?

You'd be happy with competing in that market?

I want ya to be in a position to compete with the clubs around us

MRG

There is ample evidence that it is the start of the end too. It's 50/50 how it turns out. We are developing as a club, blind man on horse etc can see it unless you really really don't want to see it. We are competing, our way is working and we are in the Europa league and our 3rd consecutive season...

Why would a foreign investor buy Burnley? The only reason would be to see a significant return on their investment, eg getting a slice of the TV money. They aren't donating money, they are putting money in so that they can take more money out. Why do you think an investor would put money into Burnl...

MRG

Not really. How many foreign owned clubs stick with the same manager through thick and thin? Bournemouth is the only one in the PL at present where the manager has been there longer than Dyche that I can think of and that's because Howe was a bit of a club legend before he took the job and he's don...

MRG

And when the lovely new foreign owners get bored or frustrated with their new toy?, or are just downright incompetent? Forest, Leeds, Portsmouth, Dollopers, for example. Do you realise how many clubs in the top 2 leagues are owned by foreign investors? Once you have a count up you will realise that...

I'd rather stick with SD than entertain the idea of getting a foreign coach for example.

Some of the objections to investment that I read on this board are bonkers! What if they don’t want to change the most successful manager in recent times?

MRG

If no investment is brought in then, sadly, I don't think we'll stay in the Premier League for very long. We're already find it hard to compete in the transfer market. It really is great having local Burnley fans in charge of the club but there has to be some way of getting investors involved someh...

It is being reported that the 4th richest man in Asia was at the Wigan game yesterday and he is close to a takeover of Wigan.

Are Wigan any more attractive than we are? Do we get similar approaches and knock them back? Have Wigan actively sought them out and if so, could that be an option for us?

A couple of guys sat behind us yesterday were saying that Mee wants out following a training ground bust up at the end of last season with Tarks and they no longer even speak to each other.

Let’s hope this is a load of rubbish but the fella was adamant

JayRod - 2800mins 7 Goals
Barnes - 2150mins 9 goals

Apologies I misread the question. I thought the question was who is the better player not who has the better goals per min ratio

MRG

Jay Rod is a different level. Next Question?

I don’t remember going into a season feeling this underwhelmed before. After all the achievements last season, to still not be in a position where we are willing to push on really does feel like we are hear to collect whatever we can get and just hope for the best.

MRG

Does this suggest that as a club we feel that as a club we can no longer compete in this division? What’s worrying is that the Championship is also littered with clubs that can outspend us now whilst we have the TV money therefore dropping down a division and losing the TV money could be disastrous

MRG

Do we even want to progress?

3 months isn’t that bad! We had players out for similar time last season with a knock!

Sorry for the confusion pal. I think it will be down to what we can get in. I think we will be having what we can not what we want

That’s as may be, and I largely agree with your sentiments, but until outside investment materialises, we are left with the way we are doing it. This has yeilded considerable rewards, thus far. It is also something which can be sustained(for a time at least) in the event of a probable relegation wi...
