I’ll post what I want, when I want, about who I want thank you, don’t need to be told by you thank you. It just so happens there are many claret fans out there that are concerned about what they have witnessed over the past few months.Dinks wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 10:02 pmAll the success.all the good times,we lose two games and this board is going to go into meltdown blaming Garlick,Dyche,the players,the tea ladies let them get on with it keep calm,its best to not log in if you have nothing positive to say about the club,i think thid forum is best avoided for a few days....night lads,enjoy yourselves.
Similar to our crossing that can't find the Woods or the Mees.

Yes lets pretend everything is rosy and hide behind the past good times. Why not bring the bad times of the 80s into it as well like many do? I'm far from panicking about two results. However the bigger picture is worrying unless there is some sort of investment.Dinks wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 10:02 pmAll the success.all the good times,we lose two games and this board is going to go into meltdown blaming Garlick,Dyche,the players,the tea ladies let them get on with it keep calm,its best to not log in if you have nothing positive to say about the club,i think thid forum is best avoided for a few days....night lads,enjoy yourselves.

We know things aren't perfect at the club right now but they are no better or worse than they were at tea time, we've just played poorly, albeit no worse than Southampton, and lost.
I think when things are as fractious as they are behind the scenes and then a performance like tonights is thrown into the mix it creates the "perfect storm" for the more disillusioned to have a go. Then you throw the happy clappers into the mix like the OP and it all kicks off.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 10:33 pmThe one thing that is certain after a disappointing performance is that you will get a ridiculous overreaction from some posters on this board.

The question is, to what extent is the obvious disharmony that currently exists within the club affecting these performances.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 10:33 pmThe one thing that is certain after a disappointing performance is that you will get a ridiculous overreaction from some posters on this board.

Not sure if you tuned into the 2nd half but it finished 3-3 they turned it around albeit still a bad result as they would have expected to win but from 3-0 down getting something isn't so bad.Burnleyareback2 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 10:50 pmIt’s all about perspective and many Burnley fans just don’t have this, especially the premier league Burnley fans who are waiting for our £50m signing.
Imagine being a UTD fan with a billion £ squad, relying on the ref to beat Brighton.
Chelsea spending more on this window than Burnley in all our windows and 3-0 to west Brom.
Pull yourselves together
Ha! Fine words, but good luck getting any of these hysterical morons to heed them. Some yanks flash their tits in the form of a takeover and folk are looking everywhere for proof of disharmony and peril, conspiracy and agenda, thirsty for this silver bullet of 'investment' they're going to be disappointed to find doesn't actually exist. I think perspective went out the window a very, very long time ago.
The card should have "lack of investment on it" "Dyche sending the Board a message" and "£40 million cash" - I assume all these things don't need to be true.ksrclaret wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 10:25 pm"School girls"

Saw the final result, but with 200m of new signings in the summer adding to the rest of that squad, personally I’d be disappointed being 3 down at WBAJakubclaret wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 11:03 pmNot sure if you tuned into the 2nd half but it finished 3-3 they turned it around albeit still a bad result as they would have expected to win but from 3-0 down getting something isn't so bad.
How much did they pay for the new guy, Thiago Silva, who let the ball going under his foot for the second?Burnleyareback2 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 11:05 pmSaw the final result, but with 200m of new signings in the summer adding to the rest of that squad, personally I’d be disappointed being 3 down at WBA
Silver Bullet is the term of the week. For every £ they invest they will want to take +£6 out. I don’t understand how BFC will ever generate this.Spiral wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 11:04 pmHa!

A good try, Paul, but I think you need to go back and read the question again.Paul Waine wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 11:04 pmThe card should have "lack of investment on it" "Dyche sending the Board a message" and "£40 million cash" - I assume all these things don't need to be true.

Well it was a bad result for them starting at 0-0 but from being 3-0 down at 1 point & still managing to somehow gain a draw away from home it turned out ok, they will be happier than WBA with the point, it could well turn out at the end of the season if WBA get relegated they'll look back at that game.Burnleyareback2 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 11:05 pmSaw the final result, but with 200m of new signings in the summer adding to the rest of that squad, personally I’d be disappointed being 3 down at WBA

Yup, agreed. Said pretty much exactly that on the takeover thread. Hope this takeover works out well if it happens, but people are deluded if they think it'll mean a significant expansion of the wage bill, and to be honest I'd be getting a little bit worried if it actually meant that, state of football as it is: no matchday revenue due to covid, lack of clarity over international broadcast revenue etc, both of which could possibly create a huge transfer market depression, undermining this whole ambitious (I'd say arrogant) enterprise of profiting from player sales to generate return on investment, rather than striving for sustainability.Burnleyareback2 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 11:09 pmSilver Bullet is the term of the week.

Of MG allows the takeover, if it goes tits up the same fans will blame him for selling the club.
If we'd been running a squad of 25 and more for the last 6 years as you presumably want, then we certainly wouldn't have spare cash to invest.
have all your 176 posts been this pointless and inaccurate ?Dinks wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 10:02 pmAll the success.all the good times,we lose two games and this board is going to go into meltdown blaming Garlick,Dyche,the players,the tea ladies let them get on with it keep calm,its best to not log in if you have nothing positive to say about the club,i think thid forum is best avoided for a few days....night lads,enjoy yourselves.
When did I mention 25 or more? We have 10 outfield senior players fit and 2 goalkeepers. If you don’t think we are short, this conversation is pointless.
We knew Lennon Hart and Hendrick were leaving months ago. Cork and Mee have been injured since before the transfer window opened. Barnes hasn’t played since when? January? Brady and Gudmundsson can’t stay fit and haven’t produced since when?
if anyone doesn't think we are short then they should watch Dyche's interview from after tonights game..........
You not remember Dyche going ballistic a few months ago when 3 players walked out of the club and he had to beg them to offer Bardsley a deal ?
Lennon and Hart were beyond shyte for us and we've lost literally nothing by them leaving, so don't give me that b0llocks. I think we need two players, as I've mentioned above (or on another thread, I'm not sure), but the depletion in the squad is because of an injury crisis. You don't spend your way out of those, or at least not without expanding the wage bill to levels teetering on 'concerning'. Are all you dunces ignoring the whole pandemic situation? For the umpteenth time there's literally zero matchday revenue and international broadcast revenue has been readjusted.KRBFC wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 11:56 pmWe knew Lennon Hart and Hendrick were leaving months ago.

You’re making excuses but when that transfer window opened we were desperately short, we remain desperately short....
We have a squad of 20 senior players, not counting Dunne. If that is woefully short, then you must be asking for a significantly bigger squad - my guess was 25; perhaps you had a different number in mind.
for me it's not so much about quantity, it's about quality and Garlick clearly is reluctant to fork out for it - no point having 8 players out of 25 that aren't good enough because we end up exactly where we are nowdsr wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 12:21 amWe have a squad of 20 senior players, not counting Dunne. If that is woefully short, then you must be asking for a significantly bigger squad - my guess was 25; perhaps you had a different number in mind.
But you must have meant that you want a permanent bigger squad. You know that we can't have short term loans, so if we had say 5 more players then that means a permanent squad of 25. If you think we currently should have 8 more players, then that means a permanent squad of 28. And so forth.
I would say 22 would be about right. That would be 2 more. I'm not in favour of signing long term contracts to replace players with short term injuries.
I’m with you on this. Once those injured get back the squad looks entirely different. Take Barnes for one, had he been fit for the past 6 months, Vydra imho wouldn’t be here now. I know I can’t back that up but his game time would be significantly less than what it as been since the Barnes has been injured. The only doubt about the defence is Tarkowski, is he going is he staying. Look at injuries Tarkowski, Mee, no football club in world football has 2 CH like for like replacements. Dunne/Long are perfectly acceptable. Both a step down obviously but either of those alongside either of Tarkowski or Mee is fine. A better option would be better and my preference but not a biggie. Once Cork is fit CM is perfectly fine. We could do with a wide man and the forwards are fine.dsr wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 12:21 amWe have a squad of 20 senior players, not counting Dunne.
