Please tell me this is a wind up, seriously we didn’t pay £20 mill for Broja? I just don’t believe Parker would agree to that or am I wrong.
I doubt Parker has any input regarding players fees and contracts. The modern Coach is given a squad of players decided by a team of experts :D

Re: Do we need to be charging more for tickets to become more competitive at this level?

One way to alienate the majority of Burnley fans would be to increase prices especially when you have players earning over a £million per year with little chance of them representing the first team.
