Great appointment and he really has gone UNDER the radar. I know they had a new shareholder who brought funds into the club in Summer, but what great recruitment they have made, particularly from the Championship. They did have a squad older than ours and almost 10 OOC players, but their business d...

Swan soon to re-open too

You could even kayak to burnley on the LL it’d take a good day I think or maybe a tad longer.

Read the OP..... Oh, right, I see the problem now. Gargrave isn’t a million miles away for the rail link & this nugget falls within budget 😉 https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/120667835?utm_campaign=property-details&utm_content=buying&utm_medium=sharing&utm_source=copytoclipboard#/&channel=RES_...

Other than not having a railway station and the cheapest house being around £150k over budget, Grassington is perfect for the OP.

You want nice things & you want to live in nice places it costs money there’s no getting away from it.

A lot of the "be careful what you wish for" brigade were telling us all last summer Palace were certain to go down after getting rid of Hodgson.

Grassingtons become a tad busy now they film All Creatures G&S there though and property prices sky rocketed

There’s more going on over there than inskip & nicer walks, further up towards kettlewell/buckden the prices are higher.

Agreed. Grassington is lovely.

I live near there so I know the area it’s not the cheapest but I can certainly think of more undesirable areas.

Jakubclaret

Grassington nice enough if you like wharfedale, it’s quiet & plenty of nice walks & other places not too far away.

Jakubclaret

I suspect when he leaves many supporters who think he should go will be in for a massive shock that they'll come to regret. It wouldn't surprise me if we don't get back into the Prem for many, many years. No guarantees he’d get back us in the prem, you shouldn’t fear change when the alternative isn...

As bad as we've been at times this season, I've seen no evidence of players not trying. It's a very easy thing to throw out when results are going badly. Well some people are clearly seeing different things judging from the posts on the threads on the MB. Lennon wouldn’t be ducking on the ericsson ...

Jakubclaret

Whilst you’re entitled to withdraw your support when the chips are down, it’s extremely fickle. There are lots of peaks and troughs as a football fan, and for the majority of the 30+ years I’ve been watching Burnley there’s been a hell of a lot more peaks - when we qualified for Europe we were only...

Manager capability far bigger factor than money. Those clubs have consistently spent huge sums of money before and after Ferguson retired. If that’s the case why did some clubs increase their spending during & after (post more importantly) SAF managerial reign whilst remaining with the same manager...

Jakubclaret

The other teams were spending vast sums of money when Ferguson was there, and Man United have spent vast sums of money since he departed. The biggest difference to City and Liverpool is the quality of their managers and the opposite is true of Man United when compared to one of the best managers ev...

Jakubclaret

If comparing to Ferguson and United, the concerns from a large proportion of their supporters about potential demise of the club after Ferguson have been proven right. Purely in terms of a departure sense I don’t see any correlation or likeness to both situations because the circumstances are diffe...

You made the comparison not me

I made a comparison you decided to inexplicably forecast a decline like for like club to club upon a potential SD departure implying we would go down that same road as Manchester United if we parted ways.

Jakubclaret

Fergie retired knowing they needed another squad overhaul, probably why he thought Moyes was the right man for the job. The Utd fans didn't have the patience for that and the club panicked and pulled the trigger on him. Since then they've have a very disjointed transfer strategy. That, combined wit...

Yes but without factoring the massive amounts of money that’s been pumped into Chelsea & Man City & Liverpool since SAF retired, it...

Jakubclaret

Just going off comments made on here suggesting it was either one or the other that had to leave, and due to Dyche’s power within the club, it had to be Garlick. It’s a strange situation somebody having so much power & influence within a club the closest resemblance is SAF at Manchester United, for...

Maybe not revelling in it but there are some posters who seem to place a higher importance on being able to say "I told you so" than the actual fortunes of the club. But as you can personally testify equally a lot of garbage is posted & some posters are pretty much forever right & some posters are ...

Jakubclaret

We’ve seen it loads on here though that some fans believe Dyche to be bigger than the club. I’ve read many comments along the lines of “this club would be in league 2 in 3 years if Dyche left”. When it became obvious Dyche and Garlick couldn’t be in the same club, nevermind the same room, it’s pret...

Jakubclaret

Was it seriously a straight choice between losing Dyche or selling the club and plunging it into significant debt in the process? Because if it was he made the wrong choice. The manager should have gone. No question. Nobody is bigger than the club, not even Dyche. You are forgetting that dyche at t...

Until it’s mathematically confirmed you’ll get some people conjuring up wild permutations on how we’ll get out of the position we’ve put ourselves in.

Jakubclaret

Lots of panic and despair after last night (I feel it too, as will the players). But I’ve written on here a few times recently that the mindset has to be a points target without looking at other teams. 38 points. As ever. Hit it, you probably stay up, don’t, you deserve to go down. That’s 5 wins an...

Jakubclaret

Got to begrudgingly admire Leeds tonight. Yes the sending off changed things but fair play to them for scoring 3 second half goals and coming away with the win. It's not over, but I think they have Saints at home the day we play City. The massive disaster was Brentford as I think they were our only...

Jakubclaret

Hang on, I've never said which teams will stay up or go down. All I ever do is try and make a balanced argument, looking at form guides etc. I've never once said a side will finish in X position. Most of us have pretty much staked a claim on who’s staying up or going down - you don’t need to say th...

Villa Spent over £150 million and should have dropped had it not been for a dodgy goal technology two seasons ago. That was with Jack Grealish in the side as well.

But surely if the likes of Everton will never get relegated they would never be where they are in the first place, namely at the bottom end of the table. Plenty of big clubs have been relegated over the years. Some teams just have too much about them it’s that simple you look at the injuries DCL se...

I couldn't care less who the opposition is if they help Burnley. Never have, never will.

Even more so if it facilitates your many wild off the mark predictions, like I say Everton will get the points from somewhere last night was a classic example with the scruffy 10 men bruising encounter.

Precisely my thoughts on life. Most rich people have become rich for a reason, countless years of incredibly hard work, sacrifices made and a burning desire to succeed. I know many people who didn’t bother trying at school, happy doing a 9-5 job, complain at working overtime etc etc, yet sound like...

Jakubclaret

It is partly due to being better at playing football. I would suggest though on a similar theme, it is about putting gilt edged chances away. This is where we have failed in recent matches. True, a team like ours have to make the most & convert the odd chances we get & to do that selling your best ...

Jakubclaret

Even so, we've scored 22 and hit the woodwork 9 times. Everton, for example, have scored 29 and hit the woodwork 3 times. (Not sure if tonight is included.) So they only had one more shot within the frame of the goal but have 7 more goals - there's luck involved as well as skill there. A bit of goo...

Jakubclaret

My apologies. So we're on for 29 or 30 points and it needs a dramatic turnaround in form to get to 31? It doesn't actually need that dramatic a turn round in form. Some very minor adjustments to luck wouldn't go amiss. Both the offside goals against Leicester, the non-penalty against Norwich, the n...

It’s not an unwritten rule, it’s one of the first rules - try to burgle a house when the owner isn’t in!!

True, common sense suggests that being the case you make it like Fort Knox that’s even more reason.

Of course you would and if that were the case you would be poorer. But the truth is, real terms costs have fallen dramatically over the years while wages have risen. Win win!

Just think about that for a second. Around a grand a week. So around £52k a year. Between 4 people. Who do you think you are getting for that?

How many do you think you’d be able to employ for that price?

I don’t know what he’s earning but for around a grand a week you could have on-site security guards 24/7 vetted & SIA licensed, a small price when burglars are breaking into your home especially when the kids are asleep in their beds.

If there was a panacea that prevented burglary, then there wouldn't be any burglars.

You're assuming that everyone on the world is you. Not everyone is.

It’s a simple question do you wan...
