Don’t blame the club though, as said above it’s some bungling third party. Think it worked better on laptops and pcs than phones and tablets.

Well said; could not agree moremkmel wrote:I applaud Sean Dyche for being like Arsene Wenger was at Arsenal with caring about the bigger picture of running a football club and not just about signing players
Since being with us he has transformed our club both on and off the pitch and set us up not only for the present but also for the future

Re: Amateur running of club
Correct and nor should he be. The Board sets the transfer and wage budget which is good because their financial strategy has been excellent for several years. It's all about finding the right balance - for example the board making £25m available for Rodriguez and Dawson was a fair and reasonable opening bid in my eyes. Dyche seems to be on board with that because he's realistic about what the club can and can't commit to.jojomk1 wrote:But he is certainly not in charge of the purse strings

It may have been a fair and reasonable bid in the eyes of the Chairman but given the comments by Dyche re prob having to break our transfer record to get in at least one of his preferred targets I suspect he may beg to differ this summertaio wrote:Correct and nor should he be.

The financial strategy over the last few years has been good but you have to add to that the excellent management skills of SD.
The majority of other Prem sides are strengthening but we are treading water despite an increased fixture list
Still hoping the Chairman will spend some of this increased budget - his words don't forget

His comments suggest he wants to spend some of the clubs money - most of which he has made a huge contribution to with his management of the squad

Re: Amateur running of club
How so.....we have made bids for just 4 players this summer. Dawson, Jay, Clucas, Mawson. All way under value. There is no way a club can bid for a player in this day and age without it leaking out. We arent moving on to new targets, we think they need us....they dont...these clubs are richer at present than ustaio wrote:It seems pretty clear the Board also wants to spend money on transfers.

We will replace him easily. Many managers would love to work for a board as loyal as ours are.padihamclaret wrote:I am a bit concerned about our lack of transfer activity given we start competitive football early against Aberdeen. The other minor gripes are just that, minor gripes.
My concern is what happens when SD eventually leaves to pastures new. SD has performed minor miracles in getting the most out of players and plucking gems out in the transfer market for very small amounts.
I can't see us getting another manager who can work under the same restrictions and we don't want a reputation for being stingy
Of course there are managers who wouldn't want the job unless there was loads of money to spend/waste on players. In that case haven't we dodged a bullet.
The board have been excellent at recruiting over the last 12 years, even the much maligned Brian Laws was unlucky.

3) What???
4) Last 3 windows have been excellent, we have broken our record for signings in each and our player strength has improved each time. Still 3 weeks to go.
5) What? Selling only to people with the most points? My heart bleeds for you. I had to wait till day 3 but I'm not complaining.
6) happened once, profuse apologies and since then - lots of sponsorship money. Don't be so sensitive.
This was either an ill informed fishing expedition or the post of a very recent fan who really cannot grasp how far this club has come, and how well it has managed the transition. Just look at the Gawthorpe facilities to get an idea of just where we are heading.

On the pitch we are excellent. That’s all down to Dyche and his staff.
Off the pitch we have a long long way to go in a lot of areas.

Re: Amateur running of club
I’m so angry with this thread.
We are one of the best run clubs...financially sound and a team outperforming our dreams. We’ve kept our manager and best players. No doubt a few signings will happen before the window closes. The club bought the ground back and has invested millions in training first class facilities.
Yes, there might have been a mistake or missed opportunity from time to time but that is reality. Show me any club in the world who hasn’t made a mistake.
Children, prams and rattles...describes some fans!

Re: Amateur running of club
Some ridiculous comments on here. Burnley is just about the best run club in the country as a result of which we have achieved levels of success that no other club like us has been able to equal. By that I mean achieving a position and status in the leagues that clubs of our size have only ever achieved when gifted huge financial backing by the owners. We have done what no one else has done and a large part of that success is down to the manner in which the board of directors is running the club.

That's why Howe had a clear out when he took over and shipped out the bad apples.
If said players had decided to put their dummies back in and knuckle down maybe Laws' tenure would've been different.

We have a great manager, great board, building infrastructure, in Europe and money to spend yet you criticise about f4cking Clarets player.
You need to climb out your hole son and put your glasses on.
Lee Hoos email, you must be taking the p1ss.

I dont know how these transfers are dealt with, but if he was being denied, and felt the board were lacklustre, then he will go sooner than later.
On the other hand, he may well be very happy with things...who knows ?

trying hard not to laugh at someone crying over not being able to watch all of a pre season friendly on his pc for free, why not go to the game if you are so keen to see it I mean it probably takes 30 minutes to drive there.
Funny how to tell people to park last season and finishing 7th, then bring up Lee Hoos, someone who isn't at the club anymore, take your own advice and park it.
If the club embarrasses you so much and makes you shed tears on the internet perhaps you should change clubs, Blackpool is closer and they have signed about 12 players this summer, get on down there.

There is, and has been for a while the free option.... This gives access to all the videos etc, but not match day commentary, I've been signed up to that for a while now, but it wouldn't let me view the game on Tuesday because the paywall wasn't removed, you didn't have to sign up to anything, or enter any payment detailsHoltyclaret wrote:And when trying to view, it kept pinging up monthly or annual, within the monthly text it stated no payment will be taken until after free trial.

For the record I am thrilled with how we are doing and definitely don’t fall into the moaner category just peed off at this 3rd party for ruining an evening trying to sort it after a long day at work. UTC
