And some say transfers Carnt be sorted quickly

I guess they can when the buying club still has plenty of dosh, and the player in question has set his heart on returning there.

Not something that often applies to us.

Didnt hear it but can imagine he's not happy with some of the challenges from our players and to be fair you cant really blame him. If a lower team like Lincoln was roughing us up I reckon people on here would be still going on about it years later.

Roughing them up?

Yeah right!

After 95 minutes of Beglin and that other Liverpool fan I'd had enough and turned off.

I didn't turn off, but those two were seriously annoying. The highlight was when they were waxing lyrical at Salah's 'goal' only for it to be ruled out!

fidelcastro

What did he say? That they should have won 10-0?

fidelcastro

A defeat against Leeds could be very damaging to morale for players and supporters alike.

fidelcastro

Do you think it's got anything to do with bigger fan bases for those other clubs? So, still enough of their fans to go away on holiday, but a bigger "reserve" population among their fan bases and people living around those other clubs? Yes, ManU had 72,000 at their game on Saturday lunchtime. What'...

fidelcastro

Hi fidel, this year isn't a "normal year" - it's only in the past few weeks that holidays have been possible for many, so I'm not surprised that many will be away, grabbing their holidays while they can. It's quieter than it's been for a long time around me - except the sports club near me seems to...

fidelcastro

I agree PW. I think holidays are being underestimated. I’d be very shocked if 20-25% of our normal match going fans aren’t away at the moment, given it’s mid-summer holidays and the main time that any families with young children go away. I’m going Liverpool although, sadly, expecting defeat. I’ll ...

The late sale date and the TV selection hasn’t helped but I genuinely thought away game tickets would fly out once fans were allowed back in to stadiums.

It must still be down to covid and people being on holiday.

They were content with the previous Board and are now sceptical of the financial strategy now so they didn't get what they want

You must've been elsewhere pre-takeover. Garlick had more knockers than the Daily Sport!

They don't post on here to my knowledge. But I've shared my concerns on this message board about the new owners but wasn't a critic of the previous Board, and I've seen others with the same position on here.

Not any more they don't, because they got what they wanted.

Exciting times

Dyche spoke about it, said after qualifying for the Europa League qualifiers was the perfect time to try and kick on as a club and improve, we haven't seen the club try anything to improve on the pitch. tread water and go backwards slowly, at this point we're just sat waiting to get relegated and p...

The people I'm referring to weren't concerned about Garlick.

Really? It's all I seemed to read on here, even before ALK came in.

fidelcastro

It doesn't matter if we want to improve or we want to bring players in, the simple fact is we haven't brought in players to improve for 4 years. If seriously good players cost a fortune, recruit smarter and coach them into seriously good players. And yet despite this, we've survived fairly comforta...

fidelcastro

I know numerous people who are concerned about the new owners due to the leveraged buy out. Hopefully in time those concerns will disappear because people are satisfied the position is sustainable and will allow investment. But if not... Indeed, but is it the same people who were concerned when Gar...

fidelcastro

Not necessarily: if we could find a way to get better players and a more entertaining style of play in the Premier League then that would be perfect. I can't see that happening but I would love to be proved wrong. Alternatively, playing in a lower division with a younger, more creative team and man...

fidelcastro

You just completely made that up to stifle any kind of discussion. We signed a ton of players in the Championship who were instant starters, exciting ones too like Barton and Gray who gave fans hope and an excitement they could take us to that next level and they did. Apologies, but apart from the ...

He's provided several honest reasons why he's decided to have a break in a carefully thought out post. It's his prerogative and I fear he's not his own.

Let's hope he's in the minority then, otherwise we'll soon have no fans left!

fidelcastro

It's not really progressive though, we aren't signing a flurry of players and trying to improve are we? we aren't trying to improve, just content to tread water and scrape survival with pretty boring stale football. We haven't signed a guarantee starter in 4 years, fans love new players, its the ho...

He's said much more than that in his considered post.

Read his last paragraph. He mentions a new manager, new league, and a return to 70's football!

He may get his wish, apart from the 70's football bit, as the game has moved on.

I'm not sure who you are to question his decision

Just a supporter, like him (or at least he was).

I fail to understand how being in the Premier League forces people away.

I have been watching Burnley for over 50 years and have been a season ticket holder for most of those, including the last 20 or so. My Dad took me to the match from the age of 5, an example I followed with my own children. This year I didn't renew. Reasons for this include:- my son who I normally a...

It was all a load of baloney. What was the point of asking someone when whatever the answer was, you could still go in? It's all relative, but I noticed Chelsea's crowd was slightly down on pre-covid levels. I'm guessing this is because they insisted on proof of vaccine? Therefore, if our attendanc...

A Brighton mate has speculated that this may occur if poor results continue for Palace, He feels that Dyche is delaying signing, all depending on our results & getting new players. At least Palace are not frightened of opening the cash drawer. Plausable? I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned b...

You have no evidence to support your conviction. I would suggest many of the negative posters actually do attend games. You use the word negative when perhaps you should say constructive? Or do you class them as negative because their views differ from yours or others on this board? I base my thoug...

This is so true. Not necessarily quiet as such but the posters who spring to mind are nowhere to be seen.

I was going to add that to my already rambling post. I don’t know whether this is an indication of the personality of the individual, or whether supporting a football team just brings with it a kind of negativity bias.

I remain convinced that the most negative posters on here rarely go to games.

People are bored,it's a great day is Saturday during the football season the build up to the game is brilliant a few beers and Banter with your buddies...but then you have to watch the same old same old on the pitch,let's face it,its boring simple as that,people are bored with the same 11 players a...

And what an astute signing he turned out to be!

If he'd been a yard or two quicker then I'm convinced he'd have played at the top level.

So it wouldn’t be possible for anybody else to assemble a team & pick a formation & put some cones out onto a field & hand some bibs out & instruct a group of players to do some exercises, in principle it's exactly the same as somebody coaching an amateur football team but the stakes are a lot high...

How can you 100% determine something when something will never happen, I’d love to know please share your insightful input.

There’s already a reason that the something you mention won't happen.

I wonder what it could be? Answers on a postcard.

It can never be proven 100% because the opportunity will never be afforded, it’s possible than some of us could, being an ex player doesn’t give you that exclusive right.

Even if some of us could do a better job than SD it could never be proven because we will never get the opportunity to manage a professional football club so it’s impossible to say if we could or couldn’t.
