Still not sure its not two clubs rather than one now though, Casper. Hopefully Chester will look in he’ll know.

I would rather have BFS than Rooney

We can afford his wages but the bungs might be a problem.

If you're the type who likes to analyse stats, there's some fascinating comparisons between the two to be found checking FBRef & SofaScore. Mee actually has the better passing stats for everything except long balls, and on heatmaps plays further forwards and wider. He's aruably been the more ball-p...

I actually agree that for me the decisive difference is Pieters more than Cork for the reasons you say. Taylor is the better player if you were going off of individual ability ala FIFA, Pieters is infinitely more important to the shape of our team- especially if he has Cornet in front of him. Taylo...

Rooney aside, I’m delighted Derby have been relegated. Shame it’s one season too late. No love for the Derby fans that used to come on here, certainly. Absolutely no love for the way they played the system to breaking point either. No sadness for the relegation at all, other than the players and ma...

Not disputing what he did with Derby under such constraints ... but come on its Old Potato head and his baggage ...

I did previously think he was a complete nob, I’ll admit.

elwaclaret

Does Dyche fancy Derby if Rooney (god forbid) ame to Burnley 🤔 Would have shared you assessment of Rooney in the past, but I think the way Derby went about this season and Rooney’s part in it was highly admirable, Rooney has proved there is a lot more about him than the media perception IMO. Not sa...

elwaclaret

Perhaps because Cornet at the very least was signed by Pace, so didn't fit? As for Weghorst- I thoroughly believe he was a long term target as said, but he also was not like-for-like for Wood and stylistically is more of a replacement for Jay, so it still required various tactical adjustments. I do...

elwaclaret

You need to stop repeating this when for years it was reported that Dyche wanted to use the European market and GARLICK didn't, because he didn't trust our scouting ability overseas, and that this was cited as one of the reasons Dyche & Garlick would clash. Really, even I began to wonder why Dyche ...

elwaclaret

Rooney to Burnley? Certainly not willing to suggest it will happen, but there have been rumours that he had been unwilling to consider leaving until Derby were relegated. One has to assume even with new owners Rooney will now be beyond Derbies budget, even if he did fancy trying to lead them back u...

elwaclaret

I think paulatky simply said they saw it as an investment opportunity and didn't stipulate a time frame. Also said Pace was not a football man. He himself states that he has wanted to get involved with football since he fell in love with the game as a student… and has many contacts/friends from tha...

elwaclaret

It wasn't absolute tosh though. It was an entirely reasonable viewpoint. Why do you think they acquired the club? I have no doubt Alan Pace saw an opportunity to make money LONG TERM, was that the main driving force behind buying Burnley? Possibly, obviously they don’t hope to lose their shirts. BU...

elwaclaret

You judged my previous comment as “ total tosh” Because it had no reliable source or grounding - I’ve just heard that Meagan Martell was back in the country so she could invest a billion pounds in Burnley football club for Harry’s birthday present and that she wants Brooklyn as manager with David B...

elwaclaret

There are many, many apps & sites which let you fake text messages. I'm not sure Dyche is quite that much of a Ternent. In all honesty I wouldn’t be overly surprised given the tiny amount of information (from reliable sources) if it was related to bullying of some kind; not necessarily Dyche, but h...

… and is one I really do not understand. His team plays football, but he spent a decent chunk on Norwich this season… and that went well. Strange to me that anyone would hope for that one.

elwaclaret

I would back my judgment against yours any day. Why do you think they bought the club? Because they liked the area and liked Holland’s pies and beni & hot. No they did it to make a financial gain for themselves , albeit without risking much of their own money. Where have I may a judgement? I have m...

elwaclaret

Stating that you don’t care about his marriage, because he’s now left Burnley just feels like a pretty narrow outlook, and doesn’t smack of neutrality, that’s all I’m saying. Just the truth… in all honesty will you be checking his marriage is ok on the final day of the season? He was manager he’s n...

I didn't realise it was an argument - I thought I was putting forward my point of view and explaining why I have concerns about the financial structure of our club and the risks if we get relegated and don't quickly return. We all share you concern. And sorry, you may have misunderstood as a histor...

elwaclaret

Well they certainly didn’t invest in Burnley just for the love of it. I think they thought they were getting it cheap and would be able to multiply there investment many times based on other US franchise sports teams. They maybe businessmen but they are not football men. Absolute tosh based on noth...

elwaclaret

I don't need to be careful. I'm happy to repeat that Pace relied upon the club's cash reserves in order to buy the club and the size of those cash reserves occurred because of a lack of player purchases in Garlick's final transfer window. So why do you need to argue the point with someone you don’t...

Are you for real?

I was 50/50 on Dyche as our manager, shocked at the timing of his sacking mind.

He gave us nearly 10 years service so I will wish him well.

And I will wait to hear officially why such action was taken before wishing him anything.

And the difference now is if we go down we do so with significant debt. We made no signings towards the end of Garlick's tenure because Pace needed the cash in the bank to enable the acquisition. I’d be very careful about making assumptions like that, and even more careful about writing them down.

elwaclaret

Is Russia full of glue sniffers. It's understandable that they can't hear the truth, but you have to be mad to think the West is falling apart, or that Russia is capable of forming an axis with China and India. Speaking of which it's time we got heavy with India, I said 3 weeks ago they can't be al...

elwaclaret

So where don't have the full picture people will form a view based on what we do know. That is the club was taken over using a leverage buyout and the club's substantial cash reserves which has led to significant debt. I believe the debt is serviceable while we retain PL revenues but in the event w...

That group of business men saw an opportunity to make, in their eyes, a killing without risking their own money. They assumed they would be able to get additional investors into the club but that will be very difficult to achieve with relegation How were they to ‘make a killing’? How many club owne...

Where’s the £70m that’s due by the end of June going to come from if we are relegated. Having a £500,000 with a salary of £100,000 is fine but if that salary drops to £30,000 …………. FACT is we don’t know, nor can we do anything to find out? Do we know for example if a major investor has stipulated t...

Nothing, I hope she was.

There's so much wrong with the PL right now: refereeing, VAR, diving. Then there's all the bullshit that goes with it I'm not sure it's "prettier" football that fans are after. Perhaps having ambition to finish a little higher than 17th would help. Have to say; I was completely for SD seeing out th...

And just how are they safe? I think the logic is because they are too big to go down and have ‘major star’ players. Newcastle has jumped from anti-Dyche to Anti-Pace after he dismissed Dyche… whatever Burnley do is small a tin-pot for some, mainly because they see Burnley as tin-pot and yet they ‘f...

Have to say the rumours are a but weird. If his position was untenable and the owners were totally right to pot him why not say so?
