Probably because the more money we get for the players we sell, the more that will be left over to purchase players after the loan payments are made. Or money left to fatten the goose to sell the club with an attractive massive store of dry powder, while not investing in players!... Oh hang on, I'm...

Looking likely Collins is leaving. You said that about Pope, still no evidence for it. Until an actual credible journalist comes up with a story, then it's all just speculation When the player himself has been saying that they haven't a clue where they will be playing in the coming season when aske...

Chat about Connor Roberts kind of typifies this board... The number of times I've seen players who have had serious or long-term injuries totally written off by people on this forum after just maybe, 5 to 10 games and are then shown up and embarrassed by them coming back into great form is mind-blow...

I'd be absolutely over the moon if we could get back to 10% to 15% interest rates again but never going to happen... On why the UK seem to suffer more at the moment... We also bounce back far faster and stronger than most other economies as well. our economy volatility is because of our unique servi...

But we haven't paid for most of those players yet.... whatever loss we make on Weghorst will likely be made up by a small profit on Cornet, so no profit to speak of there. Nobody is paying £20 for Brownhill and we might make £4-5m on Collins once Stoke have their inevitable sell-on clauses together...

BigChaCha

There is some serious naivety going on here if they think VC is going to be attracted to a club that is not prepared to pay 9m for a player!

BigChaCha

Interested in how you think we could get £80m - £100m in sales? Weghorst might be an issue but let's say we take a hit on him... 10m Cornet... 15m Pope... 20m Collins... 20m McNeil... 20m Brownhill... 20m Then there is Connor Roberts... Some may disagree with those prices but at the very lowest con...

BigChaCha

I don't see why 9m is seen as outlandish when I think we have the other half of the Wood money to come yet (not sure about that) and could have close to 80m to 100m in assets to sell... I know money might be tight but I can easily see us spending that, depending on who we sell... The new board have ...

Oh and it's conversation not conservation, I think I've deciphered that properly !

Well done. You have found my Easter Egg but you didn't quite decipher that properly so I have corrected it for you below -

# #Yes the home crowds drooped quite a bit last season. In my view not proper fans the ones who didnt go. Excpet you of course!!! I just wonder though how you expected Dyche's teams to play and remain in the premier League against some teams who have had billions spent on them and the rest who have...

I know at least 5 people, including me who are all desperate to start going again after we stopped going on because of Dycheball (yes we are plastic fans, blah, blah, blah)... I've done my time watching Burnley over 40 years and I'm not stupid enough anymore to sit through dross as I did back then e...

If we start badly, and I don't think we will, the crowds will go below 10,000

How long have you been watching Burnley?

We only had £80million in the bank and minimal long-term debt because we were fattening the goose to make us more attractive to sell and was created by the transfer strategy at the time.

BigChaCha

I read the article where they go full on doom-mongering about the finances but i stopped reading when they wrote "leaving behind a squad with few sellable assets!"...

... Maybe they think 100m of very saleable assets and still being left with a fairly decent Championship squad is a disaster.

Geez, this message board is poisonous!... ...

Can anyone recommend anywhere affordable that is in a nice area and is a 30 to 50min train journey from the Accrington/Burnley area? It is for a 2nd home and needs to be either in a scenic inland area with things to do close like Hebden Bridge but preferably in an up and coming undervalued area!... ...

He's not clinical enough which is why he's never really done well at this level There are many link type players who have done well at this level over the years without being prolific goal scorers!...

And how would the relationship benefit the world? Trump wanted to dismantle NATO. We wanted to refuse to commit US forces if a NATO country was attacked. Do you think this wouldn't happen?

West Ham and David Moyes have shown no morality or ethics at all in this case and are just another example of why I started watching mainly cricket and rugby union instead. They are not perfect sports, but they are just full of far better people.

Can't believe all the fuss over this tbh. There's probably thousands of kids getting abused/mistreated up and down the country and people are getting all worked up over a cat.

Psychologically, I have accepted relegation. I hope you're right but I just feel, even if we go on a good run in our last few games, we have just left it far too late!

The sycophancy from Mr Woan in the last TV interview I saw of him towards 'The Gaffa' was vomit-inducing... I'm not a fan of his, to be honest, and all of our creative players (which isn't many) over the last few seasons have all gone backwards under his coaching stewardship!

McNeil was sooooo poor today maybe the desperation to sign orsic has made him think well if cornet and ‘orsic’ is fit I’m not getting a game and showed two fingers to the club today with that performance you have me for now and I’m not giving 100% He has just been worn down like the fans.

You would think a manager and set of coaches paid what they are would have at least tried it in pre-season. The pro SD guys on here will tell us we last played it against Everton when we lost 5-1 at home a few years ago, however thats not a reson for persevering. We must be the only PL side not swi...

Wouldn’t make a blind bit of difference with the lack of quality we have going forward. The definition of madness is to keep doing the same thing and expect a different result... You can 100% improve a teams attacking prowess or play in general with a different formation to suit the players you hav...

BigChaCha

Agreed. Real shame we turned in a performance like that under the circumstances.

We always seem to do that when it is the most important game to keep the fanbase happy but we were also very unlucky with the weather.

BigChaCha

I just wanna see us pass the ball and play a modern balanced system, I don't care if it's Dyche or not

Yep and having that plan b or c that can be utilised during and at the start of a game. He really is a dinosaur when it comes to style, tactics and formations!

BigChaCha

Get some goddamn energy into the team and the midfield in particular. Midfield in general has always been an issue with SD. He has signed a few decent players there but I still remember how slow he was to replace Marney when he had the big injury which cost us dearly due to SD being so slow on the ...

If we are going to let him go, then now is the time to do it but it would need a lot of bravery and I'm not even sure we are in the position to do it with the deal SD is on!

These constant snarky types of comments from you are one of the main reasons that threads fall apart into toxicity. You should know better in your position... It is very unpr...

BigChaCha

Think that's probably done us. Lack of investment a couple of years or so before the sale, really has come home to roost now. We're shrinking every game now. At least, the ones we're looking to win. True, but it's compounded by SD who can't seem to improve our player's skill base!... In fact, the p...

He was an outstanding prospect before an injury and most of the casuals in here saw him post-injury, where he wasn't as sharp as was previously. Hopefully, he can carry on the trajectory from his pre-injury form... I think he can become a top-class payer if he does fulfil his early promise!

Doesn't particularly worry me yet. 1: The Daily Mail are continually looking for an angle on our new board so most likely exaggerated anyway. 2: It is not uncommon at the moment for companies to defer payments during these covid times until it picks up again and in fact, makes a lot of sense in many...

Long ball, short ball, doesn't really matter because we play 'boring ball'!
