Spoken like someone who doesn't live in the town, doesn't go to games and has an irrational dislike of the owners. Such a stupid take on a project to improve the town. Lived in the town all my life - apart from University (can you say the same given your moniker) and certainly witnessed the impact ...

I think that’s a bit simplistic. The rest of St James’s Street, Curzon Street, and Pioneer Place had been developed. The stretch from Turf Moor to the Bus Station was the next obvious area to be looked at and was in desperate need after the other redevelopment work. People can agree or disagree how...

Is there any evidence of that happening? If you think it might be an issue, you can submit a freedom of information request for all details regarding the planning and pre planning application.

"The Spirit of the Law" has always had no claim over right and wrong in the eyes of the law, on the other hand the 'Spirit of the game" used to have some real meaning. There are those, who do not know better, that think Leicester's Premier League title is a fairytale in the modern game, a wonder tha...

I think this all depends in where you sit in footballs finance hierarchy £1m to Burnley is about 0.75% of revenue in the Premier League, for Manchester United it is 0.15% Some clubs see competitive value in having the league enforce it's rulebook (or at least how they perceive the rulebook) against ...

Far too much about modern football takes place away from the pitch - as this thread proves. Manchester City under it's current ownership are one of the major reasons why this is so. Today marks an anniversary of sorts - it is a year since the hearing of those infamous Premier League charges (various...

The FA's 74 Charges against Chelsea caused a lot of hoo-haa when they came out, though the notion of severe sanction/punishment was immediately tempered by remembering what an inept organisation that is. Perhaps more important is the Premier League's own investigation into similar issues. Chelsea un...

If this accord between the Premier League and Manchester City lasts then it will save both parties a considerable sum, However, I suspect that Manchester City's owner will be all to willing to start new actions if the Premier League makes decisions he disagrees with.

It is a club Sean Dyche would love to manage - having experienced the current owner of the club as an opposition manager would he want to work for him? Not that it is likely they would come in for him.

It is kind of nice to know that some American owners really do know how to boost commercial income.

No matter how you look at it, it has no impact on Burnley whatsoever, but the timing of this could not be worse for PNE. It's dragged on to the point where the transfer window will be closed, so selling him will be difficult whilst this hangs over him, and if he does get a lengthy ban the window is...
