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.

Was Mee offered a new contract ?

I'm not sure anyone apart from those closest to Mee truly know.

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?

It doesn't even need to touch the spot, as long as part of the ball is overhanging the spot.

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...

Fly to New York a week today - I’m delighted about this, takes away a lot of worry! I ensured I had the proof of a negative test before I arrived in New York a few weeks ago.

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.

fidelcastro

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

Wout now saying he might come back to Burnley if we regain our premier league spot but he won’t be playing for us in the championship next season. What a guy!

Has he actually said that?

If he has then we'll be well shut.

Vincent you will probably be a good manager for someone in the future but the diehard Burnley fans don’t want you at our club.

With the way things are going we're going to need bodies and I for one feel Barnes will be a shrewd extension given his know how and experience in the Championship. That said I don't see him as a regular starter, more of an impact sub. What impact is that? The quality of the championship must've re...

fidelcastro

I can't say I'm thrilled by this news. Even in the championship we need better than a player who just constantly looks for free kicks and falls over whenever he's challenged.

I would hope he'll be a bit part player, just as he has been in the last season or two.

People who still think the Royals give a **** about them really are strange and annoying in equal measure.

So we have a shortlist of three with no slaven bilic on it and you want him to manage our club? Leave it to PACE and Co to decide. Think it could be a good appointment but who knows. Would you have chosen Dyche?

Who are the other two?

He should still have saved that shot that was going wide at Watford though. Right, Ian?

reading about Kompany's tactics Anderlecht scored 71 goals this season and not a single one was a header, they played into feet which is what Wout prefers. Not sure about him myself at all if I'm honest It has shades of Chris Waddle about it... Going for a big name, but at least kompany has some ex...

Sadly, it was inevitable, the way that pitch invasions, at this time of the season, are just accepted and expected. I'm not sure how you stop it.
