2020 has thrown up some surprises to say the least, but an opposing manager blaming Lee Mason for losing to Burnley just about puts the tin hat on it

randomclaret2

Nobody. If you read what I am saying, I am saying that there appears to be conflicting views but it is my opinion that smaller shareholders should be looked after and it would be shoddy if not. Time will tell. My post came across a bit sharp ASC, which I didnt intend.I do actually fully agree with ...

By getting the same deal as the bigger shareholders.

Who says that wont happen ?

randomclaret2

How should the smaller shareholders be " catered for " ?

randomclaret2

Yes , Im sure Messi will read your post , reflect on its contents, and hang his head in shame

randomclaret2

In my opinion it would be pretty shoddy of Mike Garlick and John B to sell their own shares with little regard for the smaller shareholders, essentially making their investments worthless. Most of those people will be lifelong fans that bought shares when the club needed it most. Any deal should se...

Checkers/Kirkby ??

"Dave Checkers, who is 'managing' this takeover, is similarly bereft of experience. "
Are you sure about that ?

Me thinks you're going to be very disappointed Paul.

What makes you say that ?

A current Director is taking over ??

randomclaret2

Must be tough to have 5 or 6 other keepers ahead of you in the pecking order

A very positive final paragraph Tony

The Reuters article is, I believe, very accurate and I am certain Simon would not have written it without some good information from key people. For what it's worth, I believe things have progressed very quickly in the las week and I think this could be coming to a conclusion very soon. Great news ...

Let's get Alan Pace in first, then take it from there

randomclaret2

A creative attacking midfielder/ wide player with pace ..reason...we have precious little creativity

randomclaret2

Both he and Golden Boy Grealish should have gone

randomclaret2

Theyd be a good partnership, maybe with Stan as Director of Football

randomclaret2

Cheers Tony, he's certainly a name that has been around American Sports for some time

I know Simon well and he won't bullshit Burnley fans with stuff.

Has Dave Checketts name been mentioned before ?

randomclaret2

I don't think there will to be honest although there will be funds available. I believe the problems that caused the delay could well have been resolved and that could mean we are potentially back on track for a deal to be completed, even possibly next week. I'll try and find more tomorrow. Great n...

We need this takeover, or else there will be no new strikers

It’s not to do with results though, they’ve had fall outs this season because they haven’t backed him since promotion.

I bet SD wished he hadnt been backed to the same extent over the summer Tony

Up into the play off positions in League One after tonights 2-0 win at Gillingham and with 2 games in hand on most teams around them.

I much preferred football in the days before these characters became " interested ". Seemed to happen around the time all the money starting coming into the game.

randomclaret2

Aha...CTs and Wilks' posts explain things

randomclaret2

We spent £750k in the summer...are we really to be believe we were genuinely interested in a player who went for £28 million ? It was obvious last season that Watkins' fee would be £20m plus.

randomclaret2

Did he go for around £28m ? At which point were we no longer after him ?

Absolutely ridiculous results they've had at that level in the last two and a half years and a club that previously had a very good academy. They've taken some real hammerings in that time too, including a 10-0 defeat against Everton.

Puts our situation in real perspective

I hadnt realised that every level of football at Sunderland had declined so dramatically over the last 2/3 years

The Clarets Trust, of which I am a board member, was involved in a Zoom conversation last night with the CEO of BFC. I am not going to reveal what went on, or even hint at it, as per agreement with NH. I find it strange that some statements are being made on here that purport to know more about thi...

Is that Bardsley second in line for Sunderland ?

100% disagree and only for one reason - nothing has been signed and there is not going to be an early resolution to this, will be January at the earliest.

Will it be finalised to allow signings to be made in the January window Tony ?

Yes

We're hardly likely to be an innovative, forward looking club when a majority of board members are in their 70s.

Has anyone looked at the housing around Anfield or The Etihad or Goodison of late ?

As far as Im concerned all contributions from posters who have any genuine information to pass on , be that a snippet or something more substantial, are to be welcomed. We're all on the same side here and all want the best for Burnley FC.

Phil Jones has shown nothing over the last 3 seasons, to suggest he would do a job for us. It would be a massive gamble, one that MIGHT pay off, but BFC isn't in a position to take gambles on players. Not for what PJ would cost, and or want in wages. I just think Utd's defence is awful, and he can'...
