He reached a glass ceiling so he sold it to a group with no money who bought the club using it's own cash, and lumbered the club with at least £102 million worth of debt?

What kind of logic is that?

Because the fans, many on this board, probably including you, demanded change.

Gordaleman

Why is it always about blame on this board? BFC have punched above their weight for years and what happened yesterday was inevitable at some stage. Garlick did wonders for Burnley for many years, but about four years ago, he said that we had reached a 'Glass ceiling' for investment (He's not a Saudi...

Remember the triple lock was only brought in because Nick Clegg and the LibDems wouldn’t sign up to the coalition without it. Tories, in power, absolutely hate it. Gradually eroding it would be no surprise to me. The timing of the next election could be critical to it’s survival. It's already been ...

Customs duties rather than VAT but the point stands. The bigger cause of rising prices on imports though is the import process itself. What was frictionless and simple is now hugely convoluted and time consuming. Precisely. So much for the Brexit dividend. Boris saw a chance for personal glory and ...

Several factors are at play obviously, but why does the IMF think we'll have the worst inflation shock in the G7? What exactly is it about the UK that makes us uniquely ill suited to deal with these global shocks? https://www.bloombergquint.com/global-economics/u-k-faces-worst-inflation-shock-among...

Pretty sure Mike Jackson wouldn't involve Ben in the team selection. It would be unfair on Ben and put him in an invidious position.

One thing is for sure. When Ben eventually retires, he's guaranteed a job at Burnley. He can be the club's very own Mr Motivator.

Just a few tweets from Boden. Mee and Pieters still not fit!

Cheers.

Any news on the press conference. Someone said 8-30 am today but there's nothing on the official site.

Gordaleman

Far superior is an overstatement, the stats will show there isn't much in it and Pope isn't the worst kicker in the league as another poster on here tried to claim once https://fbref.com/en/comps/9/keepersadv/Premier-League-Stats I'm really not sure what those stats show, other than there are five ...

I wouldn't bet against Everton beating Utd on Saturday. They will be hurting from last night and Utd have had a very poor season by their standards. It just depends which Utd team turns up, because they have been absolutely woeful at times. The one thing that could make a difference is the short tur...

Gordaleman

Pope is very good at stopping the ball going into the net but he wastes more time than any other player I've ever seen, even when we're losing. He takes forever to take a goal kick, often changing which side of the six yard box to take it from. Why doesn't someone at the club have a bit of a word wi...

Gordaleman

What about his passes that played a big part in our second and third goals? You are pretty much on your own, check the ratings thread, Tarks was one of the best performers last night. I never said he was bad last night and I'm fully aware of his part in the build up to the winning goal. However, he...

Hopeless??! Man of the match by an absolute mile last night!

Were you at the same match as me? Clearly you didn't see his horrible passes to Collins putting him under unnecessary pressure.

Gordaleman

I was at the opposite end of the ground for his goal, but it looked like a very composed finish. No attempt to blast it, just a well controlled side foot volley. Very good strike in my book. Tarks is hopeless on the left, which is why we need Mee back for Sunday. He put Collins in trouble a few time...

Gordaleman

I agree. His experience could be vital in the last nine games, plus he overlaps so much better than Roberts. He also puts in some wicked crosses which have so often led to goals in the past. Really don't understand why he was dropped in the first place.

Gordaleman

What a player, and what a partnership with Willie Irvine. Got to be our best ever. Not 100% sure but didn't they both hit 30 goals one season? I think Irvine got one more than Andy. Spoke to Andy several times at matches. He got relegated to an ordinary seat in the Bob Lord (Jimmy Mac end.) when he ...

Gordaleman

Conceded 6 in a game and a half without him. Really showed. Although I do wonder why none of that back 5 can fill in for him. Tarks and Pope have been here long enough. You do wonder if Bardsley would have made a difference... Totally agree, yet he has so many knockers on here who can't wait to hav...

Sensible choice. I'll be happy with a point today, ecstatic with three.

When Russia placed nuclear weapons in Cuba, America, unsurprisingly got upset, and it nearly led to WW111. Now, when the West, pushed by the USA, wants to do the same, why is it surprising that Russia gets upset? Gorbechov and Reagan reached an agreement that the West, wouldn't push East and the Eas...

Team:

Pope, Roberts, Collins, Mee, Pieters, Lennon, Brownhill, Cork, McNeil, Cornet, Weghorst.

Pieters is solid, but we've missed Taylor's overlapping runs. Hope he's back soon.

Not worrying pal ,we don't have an equal replacement both are inferior

I didn't say we did, but some people think Collins is better than Tarks. Anyway, we could bring Lowton back and put Roberts in midfield.

They have been poor recently. Four points from four games before today I think.

If true, we have very able replacements.

You must be desperate to whinge about Kloppp is all I can say. I thought his comments were largely positive even when he mentioned 'Physicality.'

Well done you.

Anyone got a quick link for our goal last night please.

Gordaleman

Thought Pieters was excellent last night but I worry about what Salha might do to him, if both play next Sunday.

Much better all round performance against Man U with Weghorst really starting to show what he might be capable of. Unlucky not to score.

Gordaleman

Let's get the police horses to crap all over the pitch and make Manure feel at home. Perhaps they won't dive as much then?

Gordaleman

It would be naive to think that Sean Dyche has not been wanting to replace llaters at every opportunity. It is the natural, movement to decrease the age of your squad. New young energy to assist the older legs and the experience being passed on. He, we and the club have been Garlicked. That's a ver...

Gordaleman

Pointless thread. How can anyone be judged in those conditions tonight? Just standing up must have been difficult. No surprise to me that neither team scored. That said, he's a vast improvement on Wood, because, so far as I'm aware, he wasn't offside once tonight. OK, we only got a point. I guess we...

Gordaleman

Win wid Wout Wood. 3-0. Wout 17 mins.

Gordaleman

A brace from Wout and a first goal of the season from Dwight. We'll be just fine.

In my view Orsic used us to get a nice fat pay rise at his club

That's totally irrelevant to the position Burnley found themselves in. However, if it was about money, he would have got a lot more here.

Gordaleman

Which CM's did we try to buy He doesn't know, but neither do you. Unless that is, you're a member of the Burnley FC Board and somehow, I doubt that. (It could have been ten, but I'm not privy to the board's discussions either.) All I know is that Orsic has made it clear that we had an agreement wit...

Gordaleman

Now that Orsic has opened up about his decision to stay at Zagreb, at least we know for certain that Burnley had agreed a deal. That doesn't sound to me like Alan Pace was thinkink of 'Pocketing' the Wood transfer kitty, as one keyboard warrior suggested. Let him say that to Mr Pace's face in front ...

I think CT will be wondering why he bothers to put work into this site, with some of the crazy people that post on this site.

Gordaleman

Yes I do and most of the games I have been to the service has been non existent. He may have missed a few chances over the course of the season but end of the day it's a team game. Is Weghorst going to be an improvement on Wood if service remains the same? I hope so but I really don't know. We real...

Also, wood had zero service all season. That's been the issue. It's not going to change for Weghorst.

Did you go to any matches? Wood had loads of chances and missed 90% of them.

West ham and Newcastle in for him. So no chance for us there.

I'm an optimist though.

Gordaleman

It's all bad news out of Man U at the moment. The Greenwood story is really bad news for them and now it's being reported that they are treating Jesse Lingard very badly, by not letting him leave on loan. Maybe they will relent and let him come to Burnley?

That would do for me.

Why does it sound more promising? Apart from the money references it’s just as I posted this morning.

Well for one thing, it says the extra £2 million is if we stay up, not if we go down as some were saying a few minutes ago.

Gordaleman

Sounds much more promising. Bild, Germanys’ best selling newspaper, now bring an update on the situation. According to their report on Sunday evening, ‘everyone involved has reached a final agreement’, and the Dutchman will now become a Burnley player. There’s nothing left to be agreed, with transfe...

Yes, I know, I was watching it until the stream went down just now.

Orsic is playing right now for Zagreb but did I spot Alan Pace in the crowd?

He deosn't like losing our Alan and he got Cornet over the line when we all thought he was going to Germany.

Was that a flying pig I just saw?
