At the bottom of the article, it says he wants stories about cricket. A pity he didn't know that he had the golden oppertunity for an article about James Anderson and the connection of BFC an BCC next door, in his grasp.

Re: Interview with Alan Pace
Indeed. If you’re getting on a train (as diffuse as it apparently is), if you state that level of interesting in getting a story, then it literally could have been two for one

Re: Interview with Alan Pace
Is Burnley that hard to get to? Living here I’m not going to know but people who regularly commute may be able to comment?
It’s a great interview though

Re: Interview with Alan Pace
That line has a 360% application, look at at the players in development at other clubs that we have brought in ourselves - some might say we are another rung on their development ladder, but we have no right to believe we are innocent of this - just ask Swansea about our latest goal-scorer.Funkydrummer wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 9:45 pm"Those that cannot build steal."

In essence this is modern football, and it is not just about 'building' and 'stealing' though the official name for a transfer fee is 'compensation fee'. Once of a time clubs were run by millionaires, they got overtaken by multi-millionaires, who got over taken by billionaires, who themselves got overtaken by multi-billionaires who even now that they ate teaming up together as partnership groups like we see at Liverpool and Chelsea are now being overtaken by nation states.
These days building is a relative thing at some stage, except for the very few, it is difficult to carry on building, without applying huge risk to personal wealth (and the sustainability of the club in question). What you see is those of lesser means eventually being gutted alive by those of greater means, it is possible to survive it for a while - witness Brighton. but much harder long term.
Those that try to resist end-up with a level of frustration in the camp and potentially disharmony emanating from those who have had moves (often for significantly larger incomes) blocked. More so when that lack of churn then hampers freshening up of the staff.
