All based on the next games?

Marney got his first full 90 minutes on Monday this week. From the games I’ve seen, he’s clearly looked stronger and better in each one.

Not really - just saw the game and read the comments.

To be fair, CT, I don't think there was too much wrong with his comments during the interview. Touchline criticism is a different matter, and I very much doubt that it is productive. I'm not sure that these very young teams should be expected to compete at Dev Squad level, TBH. Personally, I didn’t...

As you say, all about broadband for BT.

Someone further up the thread was blaming the Labour government. I thought it was a EU directive. Thanks for confirming that.

It will be very interesting to see who bids for the next Premier League deal (2019 to 2022).

ClaretTony

Much as I thought, and good he has tried the European route, but not making the progress I would have expected at this stage, similarly Agyei. You thought nothing. You never saw Smith play, you know nothing about him but you just picked up on his name. And comparing him with Agyei, who is playing l...

ClaretTony

Slightly off-topic, but I was impressed by Mike Duff's comment after the last Dev squad game; basically saying if some of them don't buck up they will not have careers as footballers. That's the harsh reality, it takes more than a bit of ability. I’m not sure berating young footballers publicly is ...

I enjoyed watching the CL on occasion, when SKY had it. Barring the odd game that I’d have liked to have watched, I’ve not missed it and I’m not paying for another sports channel that I won’t watch much. I’m hoping BT decide it’s not worth it with their viewing figures and it’s all soon back in one...

ClaretTony

With the money paid for Sky they should have the top sporting events on their channels. If I was to choose at the moment between the two then BT would win hands down. Viewing figures should be better for Sky as they simply have more subscribers. You were suggesting they were bettering Sky even with...

now I've got watch England matches again!

I watched the last two only because Tripps & Keane were involved. I’d decided not to watch England again but will do now in case Jack gets on the pitch.

Neither - see link on thread, he’s playing as a striker.

ClaretTony

BT are the top players now. Champions league, more premier league games and the Ashes now. Sky are going to have to up their game. Don’t come close to Sky for Premier League. They also have no rights to cricket other than games played in Australia so the Ashes in England is still exclusively Sky. C...

ClaretTony

Those are the prices I saw. Not something I’ve considered because most of the Premier League they show is when I’m not watching and I can live without the Champions League.

I saw the pricing somewhere recently and was beyond stunned. Won’t be any late nights for me this winter watching the cricket.

Buxtonclaret wrote:He's apparently from Darwen.

He is so that leaves me hoping he doesn’t ever referee us.

ClaretTony

So he's basically on 50k per week then? The compensation package is what another club would have to pay us for his services. It does not necessarily relate to his salary and therefore does not suggest his salary will be any particular amount. And the £2.5m quoted was, from recollection, a figure sp...

ClaretTony

Because if he is on a rolling contract, and BFC terminated his contract we would have to pay him for 12 months. I thought that the comp at 2.5 million would represent 12 months of earnings? I may be wrong. The £2.5 million (and that figure is just a speculative one) is what was agreed we could clai...

That’s the one - had loans at Plymouth

ClaretTony

He’s been linked with us and a few other clubs recently. I believe there is some interest from our end.

ClaretTony

Difficult to adapt to life in the Football League? You couldn’t make it up. Smith really impressed me in a pre season game v Sheffield FC but on the other occasions I saw him he looked poor. Rowls was there that night at Sheffield when he really did look the part but he couldn’t get a game in our de...

ClaretTony

The FA don’t appoint match officials. It’s done by PGMOL.

ClaretTony

So why pay him 2.5 mill to buy him out of his contract if we sack him when it is a 12 month contract? Stands to reason we pay him a years wages? The clause has nothing to do with what we pay him should we sack him, it is what we can demand for another club if he chooses to move on. I don't know whe...

Peter Mellor. Suffered in 1970 and played for years afterwards.

It would be a very wild guess. I can’t imagine the compo figure relates to his salary. I’d certainly expect it to be considerably higher than his salary figure.

Steve Coppell used to be on a rolling contract at Reading, it was summer to summer. It wasn’t and neither is Dyche’s. Rolling contracts don’t terminate at the end of the season. Dyche signed a two and a half year contract when he first joined us but his next deal was signed after the first promotio...

Just wondering where they are up to in their recoveries. Walters,especially seems to have gone off the radar. I don’t think anyone has gone off the radar. We’ve already been told they are not short term injuries so I’m not sure what updates anyone is expecting. Once they are back in any sort of tra...

There is no agreement - Everton have already tried to bring in Marco Silva.

So he's on a never ending contract. No escape unless sacked or someone pays 2.5 million for him. Not sure he thought that one through. Well done Burnley for getting him to sign that. He’s on a one year rolling contract. Lot of managers are now on that kind of contract. I’d say he and his advisors h...

He won’t. He’s on a rolling contract so never reaches that point where he’s free to go.

As for Unsworth. They are clearly looking for a manager until end of season so they can then bring in Silva or Simione.

We're not in the FA Cup yet, but 26 ex-Clarets or current Clarets on loan were involved in the 1st round with just one of them scoring.

I remember the summer of 2012, most of which he spent on social media telling people he was enjoying his holiday, then his next holiday, then his next holiday etc. He said later that he was unfit and that it was down to Dyche coming in with his training regime that got him fit. Looks as though his h...
