Doesn’t really make sense tho does it, he’s not a Burnley fan so would you do that? Will never know the full rationale of why he chose us outside what he has said. It’s not a surprise to me though that he has come here over other clubs. My guess for his choices from what I have read/seen/heard….. H...

According to the Athletic article on Kompany, contracts were sorted at the end of May.

I think (and Im no expert on this is btw) but the expectation was that it could have been called in full this year - so by only having to repay part of it, it potentially does give us a bit more breathing room for this season? If we go back up then we can continue to repay interest as we would have ...

clarethomer

Depends how the finance has been repaid I guess?

Im actually looking forward to the season a little now. I know there is a lot of work to be done on and off the field by the club. Genuinely hope Vincent is supported to build something we can all be proud of as fans and everyone gets behind the team and club now. Harwood Bellis would be a good sign...

Great to get it confirmed finally.

Welcome to Burnley Vincent!

May as well lock this thread now. Would be something else to celebrate!

Agree! Lets get that big padlock on now the next manager has finally been named and confirmed.

It’s not a drama, it’s not a PR disaster and it’s not a circus. People would think we were three weeks into the season and a week from the transfer window closing the way folk on here are carrying on. It will be announced, likely tomorrow and there is plenty of time for everything else to fall into...

Thanks for the hint. Looking forwards to tomorrow now and finding out who the photo bomber is. Its probably Alan Pace - wouldn't surprise me if he has been either back in the US following end of season or away on business. Can't think of anyone else who would warrant waiting for them to be availabl...

So we HAVE to sell Pope this summer with 1 year left and a option of another year so in effect 2 years left - if we don't sell him guaranteed to go on a free in summer 2024 especially being english and watching the likes of Forster (aged 34) this week signing a 2 year deal with Tottenham. This is e...

If the reported backroom team is correct, I'm a little worried. You can have an inexperienced manager to some extent if the team around them is experienced. But that team is far from experienced. Try not to worry. Them lot down the road had an experienced manager with previous promotions on his lis...

Can we have another technical issue with this message board until we have a new manager please.

He’d probably have more money to spend if he did go there!!

Would you want him to go there?

I hope you are right. Even though many calmer posters are saying there is no panic or rush, it really does need to be announced either way this coming week. Its surely down to the home office and whatever other governmental depts that deal with visa applications. If they were going to be compelled ...

Stop worrying!

This.

We can’t control what is going on so no need to be letting it impact how you are feeling.

It’s going to be a long off season for many. As one question gets answered there will be several others that haven’t yet.

Just need to be patient and let people do their jobs.

Quote: I say the above because in his position, he would have learned from that experience and the experience of how he has been given dogs abuse by some. He would understand that no matter what he said, it would be used to further agendas and used against him. Dogs abuse? I think that’s a bit OTT....

clarethomer

Yes it can work like that. However deals can be structured in different ways. For example Chris Wood’s reported £25m sale, it seems £12.5m was received at the time, with the second £12.5m coming in January 2023. So that full amount was received a lot quicker than your example. You’re right we did. ...

Pace isn’t communicating with supporters because he is currently trying to find a way out of the massive mess he is in. Hopefully he resolves this mess soon and the outcome isn’t detrimental to Burnley FC’s short and long term future. He tried communicating with the business club members at a game ...

clarethomer

Can anyone sense check the logic below? I can’t recall what we spent on him but let’s say it was £12.5m and it’s a 4 year deal. I presume we pay that £12.5 over the 4 years so it’s £3.125m per year. If we have a release clause of say £15m and someone pays that then and they have him 4 year deal then...

If you want a model of developing youth and selling at a profit then you need some real planning and forethought. I always thought we were mad for not selling our players at their peak or when there was good value to be had; but accepted that the club never had the ability to have a large enough squ...

I don’t know but clearly the government believe it’s a solution. Just posted what I had read. Haven’t done a detailed a...

Everyone is entitled to respect, it isn't something you have to earn. It's just something that you can lose. Agree. Everyone should be granted a level of respect and you lose/gain through your actions. Anyone I perceived to be showing me no respect just because I haven’t earned it with them would l...

Just read that the government made changes to allow people to work as trainees without security checks.

They have done the former and the latter is inherently obvious and adds nothing. I'm not a fan of the new owners and do think there's been terrible communication on some issues- finances and the academy- but this particular example really doesn't strike me as an issue. I don’t tend to pay much atte...

I would have thought that the club would have communicated the following so far; - thank you for your support this season type message from the board and doing this on behalf of the playing/coaching staff. - a message of confirmation that whilst players are going off on a well earned break, the boar...

Fenerbache reported to have taken Jorge Jesus as their manager for the season ahead.

Will be interesting to see how this all plays into any potential move.

He's got the same hoodie and black jacket in the picture that was shared last night .

Which should tell you it’s an old photo most likely where he was asked for a photo when probably back in this country visiting family etc.

That’s why I said“ trying to sign”. Maybe a bit harsh with my statement they were blatantly untrue, but Benteke’s £120k pw salary made that feel highly improbable, Origi given Liverpool we’re fighting on all fronts and Klopp thinks we’re a wrestling team :lol: and Guirassy didn’t feel like a Dyche ...

He's been explained this several times, still doesn't understand the difference and continues to slag off Nixon for some bizarre reason. Strange. It don’t believe Nixon is some kind of super journo but he gets called out a lot for doing what most journos do. I can imagine there are loads of convers...

clarethomer

Not really mate. Remember when he said we were trying to sign Benteke, Origi and Guirassy four months ago??? All blatantly untrue. He gets a few right but only after linking us with loads that don’t come off at all (or appear to have any truth in them). Nixon never said we were signing Benteke and ...

We have booked a week in August but really can’t get excited by it given all the challenges people are having at airports.

Good listen.

45 mins he talks about his management approach which was a good listen.

clarethomer

We are going to have limited money to spend. Therefore, for me, the GK isn't somewhere we need to spend money assuming the ones we have are retained. Hennessey showed some class and has the international experience, as has BPF and has championship experience too so I think we have sufficient coverag...

I’d like an experienced manager with champ experience or a proven youngish hungry type like Joey B or Gary Rowett who has worked wonders on fresh air .

Sadly, that is exactly what the current lot are relying on you to think If the ‘current lot’ are to be replaced by the ‘other lot’ then no doubt we would see 4-5 years at least of blaming the ‘current lot’ of why things haven’t changed in any meaningful way. Just like the ‘current lot’ blamed the ‘...

If you don’t want to say what the item is on here the only other direction I could give you is lol to see if you have legal

When women can’t walk or go out in public without being harassed…. I wonder where the world is now never mind heading.

You are right in that the police shouldn’t have to deal with these things but until men realise that this behaviour isn’t usually welcomed, or invited then this is an issue.
