I'd be really worried if I was a Burnley fan with this news.
Our owner is American and look at where we are . . . .

Oh, hang on a sec, £210m in debt, you'll be fine!!

Must have missed your comment mate!!

:-) :-) - don't mince your words mate - just come out with it?! :D :D

As a first time author the set up costs were high, I had to buy ISBN number, printing costs etc. I am now in profit. Hopefully over the coming months word of mouth will generate more!!

I never set out thinking it would sell as many as it has so anything is a bonus!!

I'm sure someone from Texas would be horrified to be referred to as a YANKEE.

Serious question, have you got this in ebook format? Might make a bit of extra money at no extra cost (I assume)

Looks like its off going by the comments being laughed at on twitter.

Oh well least they can stop sweating now, nervous about having their lies exposed about boycotting.

Some 'rovers fans' are an embarrassment with their comments. Ewood will be full when venkys leave? It was never full before they took over, including during a prem winning season at that.. :(

Well played if he is.......!

This latest set back really has knocked the stuffing out of them on brfcc "If we are all of the opinion that they would rather put this club down and send it out of the league than sell to British people then there are some serious protests to come." I like that opinion.

I believe the Venkys are people of the highest integrity and will stick to their
guns, not sell out and see the job through.

To the very end. :lol:

Serious protests??
Can't wait for those :lol:

No one wants to cough up the minimum £120 million to buy the club when the squad will need silly money throwing at it too, they've no more parachute payments, losing more money then they make every month plus I think half the squad is out of contract in the summer.

Fans are already staying away so revenue is down from that angle too.
