That's fine - one difference between him and me is that I check and double check things before I go public with them and ensure I'm in a position to do so. There are things you should keep to yourself and that's what I do. If you choose to take the word of someone who can't wait to pass on a bit of...

I must've missed that.

It was on a thread! Bang after the window shut!

Danieljwaterhouse

Not at all. But when someone states as fact that McNeill has left then you’ve got to question the credibility of the other things they post. I think, that I was clear throughout that the transfers and takeover are two different things and that I was passing on transfers as a third party. Jesus wept...

When is McNeil leaving again, Daniel?

I apologised as promised!

Danieljwaterhouse

Where to start? Your assertion that buying Burnley Football Club is in some way a conduit to investment opportunities in the Northern Powerhouse - itself little mote than a marketing campaign? Wild speculation about a “devolved North” or “Devolved Lancashire”? Burnley being part of a franchised Pre...

Interestingly he didn't name anyone, but you're assuming it's you.
There has been more than one person claiming to be in the know.

I was enquiring, seems I was taking some stick from a few and put two and two together!

Like most of what you’ve written on this thread, DJW, this is pure fantasy.

I’m unsure what your claiming is fantasy?

I’ve been consistent throughout with the takeover.

So you’ve asked someone about me, and they’ve told you I know nothing?

"I think whoever is at the top table will remain at the top table regardless of the stature of the sleeping giants in the abyss." Why do you think this? The only way we'd get a "franchise" is if we agreed to merge with Blackburn (yeah, right!) and possibly one of two other localish clubs and call o...

Danieljwaterhouse

If you think that it makes a blind bit of difference what division we are in when, as you believe, we move to a franchise model, you're kidding yourself. I always thought when Phil Gartside was pushing for the drawbridge to be pulled up a decade or more ago that it was very bold of him to assume th...

Danieljwaterhouse

Just a thought but, this thread is a bit like the "imminent" transfers thread. One or two people who claim to be "in the know" making various statements which never pan out of course. Fast forward a week and they are back making new statements and some people on here take it as gospel - again. I re...

I believe you are totally wrong in that assumption

I could well be, it’s my opinion not a factual accuracy. It’s difficult to have a public opinion on a private matter.

"The media picking up on the ‘plans’ for the league can only further highlight the need to be at the top table at the moment. We’ve a premier league club, with a premier league vote, that’s for sale when the demand and desire has skyrocketed."

Whatever is happening or not happening at this time, I wouldn’t say anything is dragging on. It’s just that once it’s in the public domain then people tend to expect immediate news. I’ve never been directly involved in a business takeover, nor am I likely to, but I would think there is a potential ...

Danieljwaterhouse

So much of that is completely unsubstantiated. For a start we are one of the very few genuinely sustainable clubs in the country. What does losing market position even mean? League position? Transfer market activity? We've gained market position since promotion...well I think we have, but I'm not q...

Danieljwaterhouse

No offence but you're out of your tree. "Americans are ruining football...so we need American owners". I've been pleased at the level of opposition to the project big picture and it makes me think there's enough opposition to actually form a coherent resistance to the corporate/franchise model of f...

Danieljwaterhouse

With today’s leaked plans from the ‘top nine’ premiere league clubs you can see now more than ever why we should be clinging to our premier league status. We need swift investment to ensure we have a place at the top table, and beyond if or as I believe when we move to a franchise model. Those who n...

It is an unknown, but I very much doubt it wil go back to how it was, which is why we have the chancellor telling actors and muscians to retrain.

The other thing I read into this quote, is the proximity of Burnley to Manchester and Leeds from a jobs perspective. I've always worked in top IT job roles, and Leeds and Manchester are both massive markets that I've found it easy to travel to from Burnley when working contacts. That's what drove t...

Danieljwaterhouse

Would you say then that if it's not done for the Jan window, then it may not get done at all ? An acquisition will happen. Who acquires the club and the impact that has on the timeframe is a fluid position. I still believe we have a front runner and deal tabled, but that there is loose interest and...

Danieljwaterhouse

Good morning, Danieljw, "look beyond the club and into the community" are valuable words. If a Premier League Burnley is good for the town's economy, their jobs, living standards and so much more in life opportunities for the people of Burnley, it is very surprising that anyone doesn't support the ...

Danieljwaterhouse

Thanks Daniel for the update, quick question. Would ALK expect to buy the club whilst in the top tier regardless of league position? eg 8 points or so adrift at Christmas I think Chester would be best placed to answer about the long term investment behaviours of sports investors. I think that it is...

Danieljwaterhouse

You’re right, thank fully it’s not. Very different sources! Ex players, and education alumni don’t always provide the soundest info. Like I said I’d rather share and be wrong, then sit quiet and say I told you so! Transfers, are fickle things, as are acquisitions of this scale and complexity. Lots o...

Stop speculating, read everything that’s been written on this board by the informed posters and you’ll have the full picture. Keep in mind the at BFC is a window into a devolved North, and a potentially devolved Lancashire. Look beyond the club and into the community and wider area. We’re sat betwee...

Danieljwaterhouse

We’ve both said as much as we can, across various threads. Chester and others have also contributed very accurate and useful points of view that help support the narrative.

You’ll have to piece together the crumbs, it’s all there.

Danieljwaterhouse

So I said I’d apologise, here it is!

I apologise for all the wrong rumours, Dwight, Tarks, Jones.....

All given to me in good faith and I am sure there was value in them.

Last rumour of the window:

Dyche to Nottingham Forest

I'd probably take that, as much as I love Tarks. Cant imagine Lingard wanting to come to Burnley though

Me neither, but a rumour is a rumour!

It’s playing time over bench time for him I guess?

Jo Clearly the feud between Garlick and Dyche over recruitment is the root cause of the troubles that is also transmitting to the players. Dyche won’t resign PL managers don’t it would be too damaging to their brand, no one wants to hire a quitter. I’m addition Dyche has probably been made aware th...

Yes, a wholly hearted yes!

Fair points. Spurs raised £175m from the govt-backed covid business loans, I understand. if they can, why can’t we? Not sure it’s true that the banks pulled out of the sector either. Presumably all clubs have a bank? This would just be a credit facility and I’d be amazed if most clubs didn’t hold a...

Danieljwaterhouse

As ever, if money spent were an indicator of league standing we'd be mid-bottom championship. But we're not. It isn't a guaranteed thing. I stress again, we need players, with that I agree, but I feel Garlick is taking the blame for a dreadful run of form that's the responsibility of the players an...

Danieljwaterhouse

Quite possibly but you still haven’t given me a reason why we can’t invest in players now and recoup later? If we get relegated this season, are you telling me we couldn’t recoup? Norwich have just sold Godfrey £30M, Lewis £15M. They have Aarons Cantwell and Buendia to go. Possibly £70m+ recoup at ...

What's he expecting serving up shyte like we've seen this season? Real or Barca?

He could walk into a job based on his history. Someone (sorry can’t remember who) mentioned that his entire verbal construct has been a long term exit strategy.

Could be right!

Danieljwaterhouse

I think Dyche has been under enormous pressure. Tony has already said he thinks the only reason he’s still here is because nothing has been available to him.

I totally agree.

If what I’ve been told tonight is even half true it’s wholly understandable why Dyche has been at ‘war’ with the chairman. Player offers, yes offers, being accepted without the manager being consulted, Dyche threatened to walk in order to keep both. One of the minor directors is openly touting the c...

As expected. No evidence, just heresay and speculation. I look forward to 11 pm Monday and hopefully, (Because I don't want McNeil going anywhere juet yet.) your promised apology.

"As with most things you're wrong:" Bit like you then. You've been saying for weeks that McNeil was leaving (Your Man U ex player mate.) and that you knew what was going on with ALK.
