Hate to say it, but when we cant defend - like now, what else can Dyche do for us? Thats his strong point. And we are **** defensively now! The sad thing is he has so much going for him, discipline, smartness, no cheating and much more. And yet when it comes to tactics at this level, he is clueless

Royboyclaret

REMAIN If we stay up or if we go down Sean has to stay, because we need somebody to keep Rigg in check for the time being. Handing over the strategic reins to Rigg, along with whatever patsy of a Head Coach he might choose to bring in, would seal our future fate and allow misfortune the opportunity...

I'm not sure he can spot a player, to be honest. either that or he is entrenched in a tactical system that drains flair out of the players he signs. Could he spend £100million well? Nailed it. The likes of Cork and Westwood are instructed to go sideways and backwards, and sadly McNeil is heading in...

Don't see Turf Moor in the distance ?

Aye, you're right mdd2.

Coyle told us Kevin would be signing at the AGM in December 2009.

While Bolton fans lorded it in the premier league with Davis pouring in millions. They were oblivious to the dangers a small club like Bolton, and us for that matter could face.

I see their Broadcast Income (parachute payment) is £40m, down from £48m in the first year.

What is the value of their third and final parachute payment in this financial year ?

Royboyclaret

Aston Villa's battle to get back out of the Championship is in it's 3rd season (final one with parachute payments) last year they missed out on promotion in the play-off final, a result that sparked a financial crises (with a missed HMRC payment and ultimately led to new ownership.

Can only be described as a startling three year period in the history of any football club. Can't remember how close they came to relegation in the first of those three seasons but the next season was simply a fairytale and fully justified the film script that followed. The £70m UEFA Income boosted ...

Royboyclaret

Posssibly the best centre half Burnley has ever had. Excellent as captain which is one reason why in 1947 Burnley acheived promotion to the then first division and F A Cup finalist. As manager he was probably the catalyst for what Harry Potts and Jimmy Adamson acheived. Didn't see eye to eye with B...

Some strange posts on here. Surely, what we all want is for the operation to be a great success, for Stephen to be fit and ready for a new season and for him to be our standout midfield star once again. Absolutely right. Far, far too early to be writing off the greatest technical talent we've had a...

Misleading and out of date.

Really surprised even the Burnley Express would publish those figures.

From what I remember it wasn't up to BF whether the loans were called in. Modus (I think, it may have been another of his companies) went into administration and it was the administrators who called in the loan (and that would have happened regardless of the play-off result). That was absolutely th...

It’s all been forced, INCLUDING the Jimmy Mac and Longside. We haven’t made any improvements to fan facilities through choice since Bonn Lord died. That’s almost 40 years ago! We built the training ground because Dyche demanded it and we missed out on players and other managers because of the way i...

Indeed.

And don't be at all surprised to see them strenghten even more in the summer, with further big name players.

Surprisingly low wages considering the type of players on their books last year. Suspect that Wolves have played this very cleverly in that players of the ilk of Costa, Neves & Cavaleiro will have been convinced to join the Club on the back of a very persuasive argument that promotion, with that ca...

I wonder how this figure is reached? First XI alone must be worth around £100,000,000. The £13m figure represents Current Assets only which comprised £10.4m Debtors (money owed to the Club) and Cash at Bank of £2.6m. The asset value of the players can be found under Intangible Assets and a figure a...

Another point on PNE - Hemmings has put well over £70m into the club writing off almost half of it - we joke about Rovers and Bolton but that is some way away from a stable sustainable operation - and much more of a contribution than I would like our board to make (not that I think any of them coul...

In agreement with your Turnover last year of £140m, Crosspool.

That figure includes £119.4m TV Income based on our hefty merit payment for finishing 7th.

Royboyclaret

The issue there is that if we go down we're going to need those parachute payments to pay our wages and for working capital. Even if wages drop by 50% that will eat up pretty much all of the parachute payments. And this supposed "£150m pot" is out of the question too. We'd have to win the PL to rea...

All credit to Preston in that they are able to report a Net Profit based on an Income of just £13.3m, albeit with a significant Profit on Player Sales.

We struggled to break-even in the Championship on similar levels of Turnover.

Short and sweet, but still well worth the watch. Seemed strange seeing us playing in green for a home game at the Turf.

In 1909 two sides of the ground were already covered, the original Brunshaw Road Stand and the Star Stand which eventually made way for the Longside Terrace.

Royboyclaret

Right, a few goals to see then.

With the small original stands 30,000 must have packed the ground to the rafters.

Will be very interesting to watch.

Royboyclaret

Cheers for that Whatsupdoc, definitely a must see.

We played Tottenham twice in 1909, a league game in front of 8,000 fans and a Cup replay with a crowd of 30,000.

Which one will it be?

But that's the very point I'm making, Crosspool.

I’ve heard from what I consider a reasonable source today (stated as second hand information to me) that we have no chance of redeveloping the older stands for around 10-15 years. That’s what they reckon the life they have left in them is internally at board level. I’m astonished to be honest. I ho...

Tom has performed to the peak of his abilty since he replaced Hart, but I doubt that will be enough for him to replace Pickford.

One bit I wasn't aware of was that wage increases in excess of £7m can be funded by Averaged Three Year Player Trading Profit (average profit from player trading over the past three years).
