How it is when you don't come straight back up
West Brom, relegated a year ago and just failed to go back up. The consequence is that they can't keep loan player Dwight Gayle.
Interesting read on how the club progresses

Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
“Last season, Gayle's salary was just £1m shy of Rotherham's whole playing budget. That is unsustainable in this division without a benefactor at the top dipping into deep pockets.”
That paragraph is stunning to me. It’s getting near time for government to step in and make it a sport for all the country again.

What we need is more government intervention, more civil servants and more politicians.
John McDonnell, for example, could be appointed Chancellor of Burnley Board of Directors and announce an end to our self-imposed transfer-fee austerity. We could finance a push for the Champions League by investing in some loans from banks. The interest will be paid for by offsetting the cost by a small increase in the price of season tickets in the Bob Lord stand. As soon as we secure the riches of Champions League qualification, the books will balance and everything will be OK. It's a perfectly sound economic model.
Meanwhile, Theresa May could take over our transfer negotiations in order to help us tap into the hitherto neglected European leagues. We'll be definitely buying the finest young talent in Europe by 31st March. Or June.
...or maybe October.
Yes.
A splendid idea.
Football is in dire need of more politicians and political interference.

It was very particular pointer to their financial situation when Alex Neil turned them down to stay at Preston. Rumour has it that Jay Rod's deal is a huge burden don't know if it did not include a relegation clause

Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
Anybody else spot the comment in the article that Jay Rod may well be on the move too- simply because he might be too expensive for them to keep?
If we want him (and it wouldn’t surprise me if we do!) then it might not be too difficult to prise him loose from West Brom this summer....

Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
West Brom have always come across as a well run club but after a first failure to get back up there is going to be some serious cost cutting. Even with parachute payments clubs just can’t sustain the wage bills.

Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
Makes you realise just how clever our board have been with how we structure our player contracts...highly incentivised with bonuses, relegation clauses etc. That should hopefully minimise the impact of relegation if/when it happens to us.ClaretTony wrote:West Brom have always come across as a well run club but after a first failure to get back up there is going to be some serious cost cutting.

Also interesting that Arsenal have announced today that if players aren’t willing to sign new contracts when they’re into the last two years then they’re being sold as the club can’t afford to let the, run down contracts and leave for nothing. As transfer fees get bigger this may become normal practise for clubs too...

Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
It's quite a salty and irresponsible comment piece from the Express and Star:
"Not signing [Gayle] is symptomatic of an ownership model that appears to be gearing up for the first stage of a managed decline into mediocrity."
and
"Chief executive Mark Jenkins and technical director Luke Dowling bore the brunt of the criticism after this announcement, but they have their hands tied by an owner determined to keep the club self-sufficient."
I'd be applauding the owner for acting decisively and putting financial stability at the heart of the club. You don't have to look too far to find examples of clubs who refused to do this and ended up deep in the brown smelly stuff.

Sorry to go off on one earlier.
I've deleted one of my posts.
I understand the feeling that "this isn't right" - particularly when average players like Dwight Gayle earns almost as much as a whole squad. I feel the same way.
It's just that "the government should do something" comes across as empty to me.

Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
This is why our club have been setting up an additional war chest by not re-investing the bumper profits that have been made the past few years. They will give a couple more years' grace before we have to cut the cloth to Championship level.
West Brom weren't doing too badly, generally breaking even with occasional big profits or small losses but that's only enough to keep you going at the top table, not necessarily enough to get you back there.

Interestingly, does anyone think that Dwight Gayle could get a £55,000 deal anywhere? WBA should offer some lower wage and if he doesn't accept then he doesn't go there.
Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
WBA was a very well run club. Then they changed the folk at the top. Instead of funds in the bank, they went to the dry powder cupboard and emptied it in one go, in order to make that leap, their fans were demanding....wd don't want to be safe and boring...let's step on the gas
Oops...the leap was into a big hole comprising debt and relegation
Stoke will be similar now that they have missed the boat. They are a season from a big black hole too.

This is exactly why we have to ensure we don't get complacent. And not investing is probably on a par with overspending! A fine balance to find. But not spending because we are scared what could happen isn't a great strategy.
Essential we buy around 3 key players to improve the first 11 this summer!

Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
Every chance, although the suggestion Rodriguez' current deal does not contain a relegation adjustment clause makes me wonder if this was as big a stumbling block as transfer fee (if not bigger) last summer, given we would have insisted upon it. We've got to remember we don't know who was leaking information to Nixon et al last summer, or what was motivating them to do so.BurnleyPaul wrote:Anybody else spot the comment in the article that Jay Rod may well be on the move too- simply because he might be too expensive for them to keep?

Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
Curious conclusion to draw from the evidence of this thread. I'd have thought the answer was it's desirable to bring in a couple of players at least - but only if we can do so on terms compatible with our business model.cricketfieldclarets wrote:This is exactly why we have to ensure we don't get complacent.

Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
how it is when you don't come back up - complete proof we need to give Dyche every possible fund available to keep us in the division, stop ******* about with 2 million here or there - if he wants the player then go get him (and before anyone says anything, Dyche isn't daft, he knows we can't afford Messi)
Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
No. Read the Stoke thread. You cannot break your financial rules anytime. Funds available should be determined by the long term managers of the club. I hope we never forget that. There are still people at the club who did.
Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
We're going to go down at some point though, it's pretty much inevitable. Spending loads of money may keep us up for another season or two but will make it much more difficult to go back up when we do go down (and make it much more likely we'll emulate teams like Bradford).Vegas Claret wrote:how it is when you don't come back up - complete proof we need to give Dyche every possible fund available to keep us in the division, stop ******* about with 2 million here or there - if he wants the player then go get him (and before anyone says anything, Dyche isn't daft, he knows we can't afford Messi)

Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
It's true is that. You're almost better off going down after one or two seasons, like we did or as Huddersfield have. Once you've become 'established' - whatever that means - you've got a wage bill getting closer to 80%-90% of your turnover and the day you go down, you're screwed.aggi wrote:We're going to go down at some point though, it's pretty much inevitable.

We're already in a situation where relegation, whenever it comes, will have to see a huge clear out. It's not a criticism of us at all, or Stoke, West Brom or whoever else. That's just the result of having such a chasm between the Prem and the rest.

Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
They finished above Stoke and 4pts behind Swansea this season, so it's not unlikely on the field at least. Obviously the money we've earned has been hugely beneficial to the club due to how we've spent it on Gawthorpe and at least some ground improvements.Spijed wrote:So are you saying that in the long term teams like Preston are likely to be in better shape than us when we get relegated?
But we're reaching the point now where the wage bill on relegation would have to be addressed immediately, that's all. Last time we kept a good part of the squad together and traded a bit and was a textbook bounce back to the Prem. With the money they're likely on now, it's less certain we could do that again.

Not really.Spijed wrote:So are you saying that in the long term teams like Preston are likely to be in better shape than us when we get relegated?
If we spend to the limit (and possibly beyond) in an attempt to stay up then very possibly. (There are many, many examples out there to illustrate this.)
If we spend sensibly, build up reserves, don't go overboard on transfer fees and wages then probably not.

Re: How it is when you don't come straight back up
The ratio of Wage bill to Turnover at Burnley in the PL would never be at that level. In the event of relegation contract clauses would ensure no serious problems. Also the small matter of near £80m parachute payments over the first two seasons.NottsClaret wrote:It's true is that.

In reality none of us know the reality of the demands we are getting from the other club, the player and his agent. The transfer fee is also just one element...we may well be only a couple a million away on the asking price but they may also be asking for a contract that is way above our limits...or within our limits but no relegation clause etc.
My own personal view is that if we were only a million away from the asking price and the rest of the deal matched our criteria and that the player was one of Dyche’s main targets that there is absolutely no way we would allow the deal to collapse for the sake of a one off million pounds - why would we ?
The illogical and irrational view is to think that the club is not buying players for the sake of such small amounts.
