Just for balance would you like to list some of the players they have sold in there and what their net spend comparative to the othe big 6 - 8 clubs is like then it gives us a better basis for judgement?

On a related note. I was once told by a then senior executive of BFC that if Burnley dyed a flock of sheep claret and blue and grazed them on Turf Moor, several thousand people would turn up to watch.
