He could have both feet in the door, he could have signed for them in January, both him and Celtic could have announced it and nobody would have done any wrong. Why has he not signed this deal he has agreed ?

Re: Injuries hit Clarets for opener
I know it's a moot point, but the club has to seriously start looking for bigger backers. We cant continue as we are, and with wages eventually moving toward 100 million there will be nothing left for player investment.
How long can we continue with this the Owners are Burnley fans and that's how it must stay...we will never move on.
Question is, would you prefer SD to stay but have new financiers...or SD to go and stay as we are with present owners.

Hendrick was offered a new contract last year, either the summer or at Xmas.IanMcL wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 9:46 amThat is not what is being said.
The point being repreated, is that the chairman has let some contracts, like Hendrick, too late and that others are about to be next years Hendrick, owing to inaction at the right time.
That will cost, not save millions.
This is the equivalent of loaning Glen Little to Reading, to save £100,000 wages. Outcome - crowd halved and team lost it's way.
Much more than £100k lost, as a result.
Same thought pattern here.

Re: Mr Garlick versus Mighty Sean
No. No manager is bigger then our club, not even Dyche. We've learnt that lesson years ago and should remember it otherwise things could end very badly.
We are not a club that can gamble when we've reached the promised land. There is no possibility of recouping funds. And in the managing of the funds our recent chairmen after Barry Kilby have acted wisely it seems.
Re: Mr Garlick versus Mighty Sean
Is Dyche not talking about the players like Lennon Hart Legzkins Bardsley Hendrick? who are out of contract in a couple of weeks? players we should be pretty happy to be losing on free transfers (Hendrick aside).
Put it this way, I’m happy Lennon Hart and Bardsley aren’t tied down on 3 year contracts given their age, ability, impact and how easily they’re replaced. Although I’d prefer we sold Lowton and resigned Bardsley for another year.

You seem to be on Dyches side here, can I ask why? if Hendrick won’t sign a new deal, is that the boards fault?ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 3:46 pmThe delay in contract offers was pre-Covid - clearly the chairman not supporting the manager's plans
Lennon Bardsley Legzkins Hart, is it not in the best interest of the club for these players to be on short term deals so we aren’t stuck with them for longer than required?
I’m happy those 3 (aside from Bardsley who’s been fantastic) are running out of contract, we don’t need to find buyers to shift them and they’re no longer draining resources.
maybe I’m missing something, which is why I asked you to inform me but I don’t see what the fuss from Dyche is about here, we are safe in the league with 9 meaningless games remaining and ageing players who need to be replaced, about to leave. Is that such a bad thing?
I know someone above posted that Dyche isn’t referring to the players out of contract in a couple of weeks then if so, I’m way off the mark.

Ince the miracle worker leaves we are in big trouble just like Stoke and Blackburn were when they potted similar managers.
Re: Mr Garlick versus Mighty Sean
He did cover those players but in a way which alluded to him asking for longer contracts for one/some/all. The more serious point was the players he had asked for contracts to be sorted, as they would become next years Hendrick, at the end of June. Nothing done. That seemed to really **** him off.KRBFC wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 2:03 pmIs Dyche not talking about the players like Lennon Hart Legzkins Bardsley Hendrick? who are out of contract in a couple of weeks? players we should be pretty happy to be losing on free transfers (Hendrick aside).

Re: Injuries hit Clarets for opener
Ryan Fraser has refused contract extension, short term, at Bournemouth. He has played his last match for them.
This is the situation we are in, with our OOC players. That added to the 3 injuries and host of matches, is why Mr D is showing immense concern. There are no longer term contracts offered to players, other than Hendrick.
1 point from safety, rather than chasing Europe, becomes the new thought pattern.

Re: Injuries hit Clarets for opener
It interests me that in 3 Dyche interviews recently he talked about how much he enjoyed watching The Last Dance and how fascinating he thought the role of the Bulls coach, managing all the egos, and maintaining their relentless success. (It is a tremendous watch for any sports fan who hasn’t seen it btw).
It’s hard for us to face up to but maybe Sean Dyche’s tenure is drawing to its natural end, approaching his ‘last dance’ so to speak. We might not be serial champions but in context it’s been a thrilling journey which has seen a complete overhaul of the club and established us in the PL.
While we should not jump to the conclusion that he’s halfway out of the door, we should also not jump to the conclusion that inevitable failure would follow his departure. A new manager would bring a new template and a new set of contacts / player pool etc which might well yield success given the excellent facilities and improved youth academy that has developed under SD’s reign. We’re a much brighter prospect now for a forward thinking manager than we were the last time the job came up, and look how well we did then.

The players you think are better on short term deals have not been offered short term deals.

Re: Injuries hit Clarets for opener
With Dyche having aired his frustrations in the media, and with all games now being shown live, this matter is bound to get plenty more airtime in the next few days especially when the lack of any strength in depth is highlighted by our players sitting on the bench. Or lack of them. Something for Gary and Jamie to chew over perhaps.

With each League place being worth approaching £2m , Im sure the board dont view the remaining games as meaningless.

Fair point but they aren’t really needed are they? Given we are safe already. I think those players are better on no contract at all if possible because they need replacing, so the shorter the better because the less we are obliged to spend on paying them. The 2 goalkeepers certainly aren’t needed to play.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 3:24 pmThe players you think are better on short term deals have not been offered short term deals.

Re: Injuries hit Clarets for opener
You might think so, the manager doesn't and I'll back the managers judgement.
Re: Injuries hit Clarets for opener
Is paying an average right back who turns 35 soon 30-40k a week the best use of our money? I don't think Garlick would be in the wrong if he's refusing to sanction deals like that. Obviously I'm just speculating here, none of us know the ins and outs of the situation.
Re: Injuries hit Clarets for opener
I would give Bardsley another year but he will be looking for 2 minimum. Hendrick wants away. We don’t need Lennon or the keepers. Hendrick can play at City but might not be committed. So really only Bards is the issue. My team for City would be
Pope
Bards Tarks Mee Taylor
Hendrick Cork Westy McNeil
JRod Vydra
Brownhill for Hendrick if Dyche thinks Hendrick won’t be up for it. Watford game is far more important than City. It’s one we can win

Re: Injuries hit Clarets for opener
If we can finish this season and get the most money possible in, we can then have more confidence that next season will at least start. We can sign replacements for Lennon and Legzins then. We don't need one for Hart. I'd liked to have kept Hendrick, but he can't have it both ways. He could have signed a longer deal ages ago, we think. Times have changed now and we have to cut our cloth. We will sign his longer term replacement in the break, who will be younger and on less money.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 4:10 pmYou might think so, the manager doesn't and I'll back the managers judgement.
Bards is probably our best rb but is getting on. We need a younger rb who has the potential to be better than Lowts, so sadly, Bards has to go.

If that's true re Hendrick, can't see why the club aren't backing Dyche on this. If Hendrick does want to stay, that should be a no brainer. Good age still, most versatile player in the squad, almost never injured, virtual ever present. Most importantly - he's a good player. The reasons for keeping him are pretty clear I'd say.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 4:54 pmI’d definitely keep Bardsley and I’m not sure Hendrick does actually want away.

That's true. It's a tough balancing act though. Hendrick cost us £10 million four years ago. How much would it cost us to replace him with an adequate replacement? Agree we can't break the bank to keep him, and there has to be an common sense applied, but if we had to give him a decent pay rise that still kept within the clubs limit, I think that would be pretty reasonable.

Re: Injuries hit Clarets for opener
IF it is Celtic - maybe they are offering similar or even less - he may be a lifelong fan fulfilling a dream, he may just want to win trophies and play in the Champions league (Celtic are in the group stages next season)
IF it is Italy the preferential tax system, means he can earn less and take home more, plus Roma tend to offer European football - It has to be said that both Roma and Ac Milan are in a bit of a mess at the moment internally
There is always the probability that he has an offer from another English club - Imagine the fall out on here if it is Leeds, I expect them to strengthen on promotion, and they keep getting linked with some of our players, but it could easily be Jeff, he has the energy, skill and wherewithal to play for Bielsa and wages would not be a problem for someone with that much Premier League nous and experience.

When asked before Christmas Dyche said on the Hendrick contract situation, We want him to stay, I believe he wants to stay, but it's not just a case of him saying I want to stay and we say ok then, there you go, that cannot happen.
To me that tells me he wants x figure, we want to pay him y figure, hopefully we can agree on a z figure.
Not been his biggest fan, but hes had a great 18 months and hes winning me over more and more.
Be quite costly to replace him, but I understand we csnt just pay every player what he wants or think hes worth.

Re: Mr Garlick versus Mighty Sean
Three or four months ago I'd have accepted that comment at face value, but that was before Covid-19; in my opinion, unless Hendrick has a deal already signed, I doubt Celtic, nor anyone else will want him at the £40+k/week that the experts on here reckon he can command, never mind the additional 'sign-on' fee discussed.
Jeff Hendrick would probably be helpful/improving to Celtic's squad, a proportion of us here feel the same about keeping him at Turf Moor, but he's no Lionel Messi, Dwight McNeil or even Robbie Blake. Celtic are not going to get relegated next season, nor are they going to win a European trophy irrespective of whether Jeff Hendrick is in their squad or not, at best, he might make a difference of 3 or 4 extra points in the SPL next season or perhaps getting one round further in Europe; but signing him's going to cost them in the region of perhaps £4 million quid for the year. A mere bagatelle in a 'normal' season, but in 2020/21?
Will there be any European competitions? Will there even be an SPL? Celtic might well be paying JH £4 million to sit at home next season and even if games do go ahead, they might well be behind closed doors; I'll bet 'match day' receipts are a much bigger proportion of Celtic's annual income than Burnley's. Unless Celtic already have a contractual obligation to employ JH next season, they're unlikely to commit money that they might not have to get him; the same would apply to any Championship Club, only a Premiership, or perhaps foreign Premiership-equivalent club can realistically take on an additional £4 million liability in these uncertain times and as noted earlier, JH's no Robbie Blake.

Re: Three cheers for Mike Garlick and the Board!
Following through the same argument as my preceding post regarding Celtic signing Jeff Hendrick, I don't believe Burnley should be signing anybody right now, beyond perhaps short-term deals to ensure a comfortable finish this season:
Next season might not happen at all and I strongly suspect that there'll be no European football, so qualifying for it's irrelevant, even if the season does go ahead, some/all of the games might be behind closed doors, or at best with reduced/socially-distanced spectator numbers, it may well end up curtailled - no problem, if so there'll be no relegation anyway. Money is going to be VERY tight, so if there's no football/income next season then the fewer players on Burnley's books, the better. However, if it does look like going ahead 'as usual', then securing suitable players in a couple of months time won't be a problem as there will be ample available to buy or possibly even loan from the Championship Clubs who'll be even more financially stretched than the Premiership sides. I want Burnley to be in the Premiership, but 'success' as a club - any club! - over the next few months/years will be judged on their ability to remain solvent at whatever level, not on how many points you secure.

Re: Three cheers for Mike Garlick and the Board!
Spot on. Not sure many on here have got that yet. The trick is to be nimble once we know what is happening about next season and not to commit to any unnecessary costs in the meantime. I would be surprised if Sean doesn't accept that.AfloatinClaret wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 7:51 pmFollowing through the same argument as my preceding post regarding Celtic signing Jeff Hendrick, I don't believe Burnley should be signing anybody right now, beyond perhaps short-term deals to ensure a comfortable finish this season:
Next season might not happen at all and I strongly suspect that there'll be no European football, so qualifying for it's irrelevant, even if the season does go ahead, some/all of the games might be behind closed doors, or at best with reduced/socially-distanced spectator numbers, it may well end up curtailled - no problem, if so there'll be no relegation anyway. Money is going to be VERY tight, so if there's no football/income next season then the fewer players on Burnley's books, the better. However, if it does look like going ahead 'as usual', then securing suitable players in a couple of months time won't be a problem as there will be ample available to buy or possibly even loan from the Championship Clubs who'll be even more financially stretched than the Premiership sides. I want Burnley to be in the Premiership, but 'success' as a club - any club! - over the next few months/years will be judged on their ability to remain solvent at whatever level, not on how many points you secure.

It wasn’t long ago we were being told he wants out because of all this abuse only a few people had heard.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 4:54 pmI’d definitely keep Bardsley and I’m not sure Hendrick does actually want away.

I’d be amazed if there was no European football.

Re: Injuries hit Clarets for opener
The last thing we need next season is to be in the Micky Mouse league. Our squad will be bare bones.

That's arguable, but randomclaret has already made the crucial point that every place in the table is worth £2m.summitclaret wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 8:31 pmThe last thing we need next season is to be in the Micky Mouse league. Our squad will be bare bones.
Made a difference of a remarkable £16m Income between '17/'18 and '18/'19 when finishing 7th and then 15th.

One place off the EL is the place to be.
Re: Injuries hit Clarets for opener
UEFA have said that the qualifiers for the Europa league will all be just one leg. I'm pretty sure we won't need to worry about it anyway.
