I wouldn't want Hoddle or Waddle anywhere near our club after that 'Diamond Lights' song.

What happened to Joel Mumbongo? Did he transfer permanently to Stanley?

Released by us at the end of the season.

fidelcastro

League one player of the season too, so he must have something about him.

I'm happy with this signing

fidelcastro

I can take or leave Glastonbury when it's on the telly, but the thought of camping in a field of **** for several days really doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.

Haven't we offered him a deal, and time to recover from his injury with us?

If we haven't then surely he'd have been released when the other six were announced.

Has anything been said about Vydra? Has he signed or left? We've announced Cork and presume both got offered at same time

Probably biding his time in the hope that another club comes in for him. You would hope there would be a deadline though.

Rumour from a decent source. Rather than pay out Dyche in full, we are still paying him £110k a week. Is that visible in the accounts?

I'm not saying it's the case here, but people's "decent source" often turns out to be complete codswallop.

Always makes me laugh how much people love to quote the orient game but no one ever seems to say, "remember the days when we won the league".

Probably because you have to be bloody old to remember that!

What has our entire history got to do with Dyche? we've played 7 seasons in tier 4, naturally we quite clearly aren't a tier 4 side.

I never said we were.

fidelcastro

You might want to include the little matter of the end of the maximum wage into those statistics. It could have been the death knell for Burnley. It very nearly was. The last ten years have been incredible for the club and town and Dyche was a major part of that. He never liked Dyche. He was consta...

you can't have VAR in only a handful of grounds, it's either all or nothing

It should be, but the cup competitions have had different rules, depending on whether the ground is var installed or not.

It's not right, but then again, if we didn't have var in the PL we'd have stopped up last season!

I doubt we would, but thankfully we still have plenty of experience in the squad to complement the younger pro's

fidelcastro

We were so successful under Dyche that there is now a young generation of Burnley fans who assume we're a "natural" kind of tier 1 / tier 2 club. For them, it's the "norm". For a few others, the continued 'success' of staying in the PL erodes the context that older fans might have. It's difficult t...

About his level for hoofball with 35 year old pro’s

And some on here actually thought he was a better manager than Rafa Benitez

What a strange man you are.

To have this level of disrespect for our most successful manager since Potts.

Bewildering.

You’re going to have to let it go at some point mate. He’s gone and he can’t hurt you anymore.

Skipton is wetting himself at the thought of us signing inexperienced younger players.

fidelcastro

Not a cat in hells chance will the old firm fans tolerate Dyche, his style of football and the players he targets. I do hope he gets a job soon so he can get off our wage bill and we can finally get rid of all things Dyche from the club. You do realise that you're unlikely to see a manager at Burnl...

2010/11 - 14,930

The Brian Laws effect.

2014/15 - 19,130 (Premier League)

The Lee Hoos effect.

It seemed to get lower under Howe and even Dyche for a while.

fidelcastro

I dare say that’s the case but we still seem to have rolled over and accepted the first offer on the table. A real air of desperation about this transfer. Who knows? Maybe Pope jumped at the chance of staying in the PL with a club who now have more money than sense. The last thing we need is a play...

Is there reason we accepted such a low fee anything to do with Pope’s contract situation? I thought he was contracted for another year with the option of a further year?

I think the fee is so low because we’re skint.

I dare say Pope will have made it clear he wanted to stay in the PL.

Blimey, talk about pessimism. Mid-table position? That would be a bloody awful season.

It would, and the calls for kompany to be sacked would be vociferous on here, if we're not at least in or around the play off positions.

The whole SD leaving so suddenly and nothing much said from either him, the club or any players, is still proper weird in my book.

It is. Communication and PR has always been bad during my time supporting BFC, but it seems to be worse than ever these days.

fidelcastro

Massively disappointing.

I believe KRBFC said he was one of his own suggestions... Looks like the football expert is losing his touch.

fidelcastro

I feared the worst when I saw the title of the thread, and sadly I wasn't wrong.

I had many good chats with Barrie when I used to travel with the SC. A really top bloke who was always willing to help, but at the same time, not afraid to speak his mind when he needed to.

RIP Barrie.

Positive feedback which bodes well.

Exciting times.

Obviously he needs time to get things right,but is two third place finishes in the Belgian league a good marker?

I was just thinking whether Mee and Tarkowski are the best two centre halves I've seen at Burnley. One could certainly make an argument for Keane, and who knows, maybe Collins will go on to be a legend in his own right, but for now, these two will be a hard act to follow. If they'd both stayed fit a...

That’s how it reads. They’ve singled out Tarkowski as a player who had opted to leave but not the case with Mee.

Well, it can't be that he just isn't wanted. Was he on too much money and we just guessed he wouldn't take that much of a cut? It really doesn't make sense to just offer him nothing.

Was it just Mee and Tarkowski of the released first team squad that were offered new deals?
