Esteve emerging as one of our best players

No doubt about that. A fantastic signing.

NewClaret

I went in this week and they were queuing out the door for renewals which was a bit of a shock. Like the old days before everything was done online and in many ways nice to see despite mine being a really quick query I had to queue ages for!

NewClaret

Listened to Kompany’s presser earlier and made it quite clear he’s joining without saying it. Good news - he looks a good player and great to pick him up on a free.

NewClaret

Could turn out to be our best signing of the current crop. Brilliant player in my opinion.

NewClaret

Great interview. Even an old curmudgeon like me couldn't help but love this guy. Still don't believe he paid a load of money for shares though....! If it was me I'd say sack VK tomorrow and appoint him as manager. If he asked me to run up Pendle Hill in a mankini and a straw boater I'd be off like ...

Good post NewClaret (quoted just a portion as a response so as to not clog the thread up). Yes, I see the list you’ve given there and whilst obviously player sales will be our lifeblood to continue as we are, it’s still very much a gamble/risk that we make the return required on those to subsidise ...

NewClaret

The worry is that they might not want to throw money into the club in hopes of getting more out. So far they have put nothing into the club, and have given no indication that they ever will. Taking money out is what they do. Hence the money at group level will not filter down. Similar with fundrais...

Burnley FC refer to him as the club president in their official match programme. I’d expect the football club to be far more likely to be correct than the Burnley Express. He’s also referred to as the president in this story on the club’s website.

How odd.

NewClaret

If Talk Sport really did say “he couldn’t wait to get away” then that is total bllx. Big difference between wanting to get away and not being willing to come back.

In all honesty I think he’s a great player but not the best defensively and not what we needed in a relegation scrap.

No Zaroury tonight for Hull. Is it injury or Eid?

Really good point about Eid. Keeping everything crossed it’s that and not an injury.

NewClaret

How are financial issues manageable Paul if Burnley fail to get promoted in either of the next two seasons? Is there something I am missing? From where I am standing we have to be in the Premier League at least once every 3 years for the rest of time (unless we decide to do the prudent thing and st...

Can they afford to sack him? I think they can't.

Think he has one year left on his deal in summer so I imagine they can if they spend £160m paying off their current debt to enable the takeover.

NewClaret

Correctly referred to as a Director in this article:

VP is a similar level to an associate director in a lot of places I think isn't it?

Yes, President in US corporate parlance = Director, so VP = associate director.

NewClaret

Rumours that Dyche will be potted if 777 get in (struggle to see that happening so likely irrelevant). Hardly motivational for the run-in though.

One of my friends called in at the ticket office yesterday to enquire about getting a season ticket for his grandson and was told to put his name on the waiting list and was told that there are about 2500 on the list No wonder they put the prices up if they think the 2500 on the list for Premier le...

AD - Matt Williams did indeed confirm Esteve will sign permanently regardless of division.

Out of all of those I’d have only kept only Larsen. The rest we can do better.

Really shocked at that.

I think Esteve has been outstanding and certainly possesses the physical attributes that make me feel he will be a big player for us and able to cope in the Premier League.

NewClaret

Injured, I think.

NewClaret

Brilliant from the referee in the Arsenal game, didn’t fall for Saka’s antics there. They’ve have spent 5 minutes looking at that in the Premier League and ended up giving it. I thought exactly the same. Watched the City match but caught that at the end and ref got it spot on. The ref in the City g...

Just wanted some info on buying a season ticket, if I buy one , can I sell my seat when I can’t travel up from the south? Yes, it’s done via the Ticket Exchange. You pay an admin fee to the club for the exchange, so you don’t quite get back the true cost of the ticket. It’s then paid in club credit...

NewClaret

Thanks for that, its not a easy decision I will always want the team to do well but I don't think the owners have the supporters interests at heart its just about making more money . So if I understand this correctly, your seat is being taken for corporate but your wife, who presumably sits next to...

Are we not having VAR from next year in the Championship?

Not according to Google. The EFL have shunned VAR even given the availability of VAR-lite as a cheaper option. I guess there’s time for that to change.

NewClaret

At least nine of them play for other clubs currently.

Yea renewed mine today making it my 58th
season ticket.

That’s a great effort!

It’s also great to see so many infrequent posters on here renewing and looking forward to next season like me; the silent majority, I suspect.

NewClaret

I don't expect any of Rodriguez, Cork or Brownhill to be with us next season. JBG I think has triggered a clause in his contract so can stay should he choose to. Given the reluctance at times to play Taylor, I suspect he might go too. I’d imagine you’re right on all counts. Browny I hope we won’t a...

They might have been going down with an eight points deduction if we had actually been competitive this season.

Yes, shouldn’t be overlooked by our leadership that we’re only in with an unbelievably outside chance because the two nearest teams above us have had points deducted.

They’re not going down. Rubbish how they’ve got away with it. 8 points is nothing!

For doing it 2 years on the row.

Really hope we can sue them now. Still haven’t heard about that, have we?

NewClaret

The term 'Project' was definitely used initially by the club as alluded to by CP alongside the sort of '3 year plan' terminology... Then, at least how I recall it the term 'project' kinda got 'co-opted' if you will by some fans as a bit of an excuse/coping mechanism after some of the abject perform...

NewClaret

that is one of those nice sounding positive PR produced phrases, but if reflection, learning and proper assessment of the situation and the risks involved are not applied then you are just marching towards a potential catastrophe, which is, in part, what the auditors were saying. It is ok ALK/VSL a...

NewClaret

Build a squad around Muric, Esteve, Beyer, Foster, Cullen, Benson, Berge (critical we keep him), and Koleosho and we storm the Championship. Like others have said. We are much better now than the team that walked the league last season. Absolutely agree with that. Much better. Crucial to keep Berge...

NewClaret

I think using the words 'absolute nonsense' and then citing a 22 year old player with 10 sub appearances with PSV is pushing the boundaries a bit. Not really. I think it’s fairly well established that he’s a well regarded talent having represented Netherlands at every youth level from U15-U21, 46 t...

NewClaret

Yes, renewed.

NewClaret

One of the features of the club's notion of buying to sell (under ALK/VSL) is that there have been very few actual sales of note the most profitable being Collins and Cornet and they didn't produce the reported cost of Beyer before amortisation. When you look at the money the club has lost on Wegho...

NewClaret

some selective memory going on I think first entry on a google search, even the clubs official media channel calls it a project - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bWvMAEtmIg I recall various senior figures at the club talking about it right from the arrival of Alan Pace at his first Press Conferenc...

NewClaret

Back to the topic.

For me Everton (barring a huge points deduction) are out of it. It’s between Luton and Forest. I think it’s best for us if Luton come down, but whoever it is, they’ll lose a lot of their core team so they’ll look far weaker than they do now regardless.

NewClaret

We might be knackered next year... Players won't join (given lack of pitch time given to those signed before) We'll lose anyone sellable... (most sellable players are near contract end... so low) Plus some will be ended / not extended. And we're left with what we have left... plus a couple of signi...

NewClaret

Indeed 'the Project' which everyone at the club has stopped talking about (for now - it will be interesting to see the language used next season) has morphed into one of cash flow pursuit, as I have previously detailed. One of the key elements of those Kompany/Mooney recruitment meetings with the b...

NewClaret

Not going on for the remaining games? Why ever not? There’s an interest remaining… who out of Luton and Forest are coming with us and Sheff Utd? “I support Burnley me, but only when we win or when we play well or if we’re in the PL” :roll: :? :oops: People acting all mardy like we were relegated to...

NewClaret

There’s no way on earth any premier league team would commit itself to guaranteed playing time contractually. What is a bit odd is the timing that Trafford was dropped - he hadn’t made any obvious errors the week before from what I recall - and Trafford not making the bench. One theory here is that ...

NewClaret

To be honest, I think ‘the project’ is something referenced more by fans than the club. Never hear anyone senior at the club mention it and if they have, certainly not repeatedly.

Imagine the meltdown on here if we conceded like that on here ... Fernandes equalises

United very nearly gave it away to Liverpool in this attack that led to the corner and then hitting the post.

All teams that pass it out make errors. No idea why we think we won’t

NewClaret

Told you all teams do it

NewClaret

It's not overplaying it out from the back OR hoofing it every time. There's a middle ground. I've no idea how you can't see our defensive frailties. No way is it just down to the final third. I didn’t say I can’t see our defensive frailties, although I don’t think they’re necessarily something that...

You could see exactly what Muric wad trying to do from the angle behind the goal. He waited for the incisive pass to come available, which it did as odobert moved off his man and opened things up. Unnecessary at that time in the game, should have just launched it down the pitch. I'd have more sympa...

NewClaret

Playing out is fine as long as the players have the skill to do it We’re not quite there yet I think this is about the most sensible and reasonable post on this thread. I can’t remember any other mistakes like yesterday. The only passing it out error that immediately springs to mind is the Trafford...

We saw the same last season, and from Muric. Cockups like yesterday happen, you just pray they aren't critical, and in a must win game.
He'll probably do it again at some point, but I'd still prefer Muric in goal. He offers far more positives than negatives.

Agree on all your points.

NewClaret

Interesting signing- player with decent pedigree who appears to have been a regular in a fairly successful Sparta Rotterdam side last season even if he's struggled for game time this season in a highly successful PSV side. Don't think we can hold that against him and good luck to him. I find the co...

Pen looked as soft as some that the first team have had given to me.

Masara on as a sub and impressed me again. Great composure and finish.
