We definitely do things the right way, for us, and I wouldn’t like too see that changed. It’s the reason we have what we have.

westwood and Lowton from Villa were in the Premier and Bardsley from Stoke was from the premier to played most of their careers there

And as above. We should be selling our club in the market. Not knocking it down.

We have turned:

Trippier
Keane
Heaton
Pope
Cork
Ings
Rodriguez
Tarkowski

Into England players

We have developed Sam Vokes into a player who scored a goal to take Wales into a European Semi Final.

We turned Charlie Austin into a fantastic striker who but for injuries would have played for England and a top 6 club.

We have taken a small town championship club into Europe.

We have appointed Sean Dyche and Eddie Howe who have both gone on to be good premier league managers and have developed many players.

These are the messages we should be sending out. That we are the right club for ambitious young players, or older ones with a point to prove.

The message we send out is ********. Its a typical small town Burnley message.

I agree with your post, but some of those players had left Burnley when selected for England.
The others were selected once or twice only, when Southgate was trying everyone from everywhere before the world cup.

We want British-based players of a proven history and temperament but we don't want to pay the inflated fees that these players command. We either need to broaden our player criteria or up the fees, it's entirely a problem of our own making.

Never understood that phrase, what’s the point of having cake and not eating it , unfortunately I’ve eaten too much over the years

Been a long thread this.

Surely the simple response to the title would have been “So, what’s new?”?

Its still a message worth pushing. Especially to the players - come to us and theres a good chance you will go onto play for England.

Beats dont come here because we cant afford anyone.

How do you know that isn't being pushed when we talk to the players and their agents?

In the nicest possible way, the taking of SD and Burnley press conferences as gospel is more than little weird.

Even if he is, and he should be, the persona he is giving of us in the media and to potential targets / investors / whatever is that we are small time and dont deserve to be where we are. Which clearly we do!

Just to make it more humerous I’d add Jake Livermore to the WBA list with Matt Phillips link too.

Looks like you are right about A****n.
