Re: Fans turning on Pace?
Mr Pace will be aware of any urgent financial pressures that may be facing the Club. The Club's Accounts have a closure date of 31st December 2021 and early indications as to overall performance for the year will now be known. Also there is the outstanding matter of the settlement of MG and JB initial shareholdings that have run on for twelve months, as well as all of the minor shareholders who are currently are awaiting settlement of their cash/voucher offer.

I don't mind him and would agree - but again, he wasn't at the table so I'm not arsed either way. I've not personally seen anything yet that would make me judge Pace negatively - if that changes then so be it, lets hope for all of us that that isn't the case. People are judging him far too quickly and with no factual rationale

Re: Fans turning on Pace?
TBF getting top dollar for outgoings is one of the things BFC is good at.
I'll judge Pace on his actions, not overly fussed about Wood going, if he wants out than au revoir, we only want people who want to be here, and for £25m we'd be

Plus Wood simply hasn't looked remotely like his usual self this season, and his demeanour suggested he wasn't happy.
I thought folks wanted the average age of the squad lowering, so assuming this deal goes through, and we recruit a couple of younger hungry forwards, that's fine by me.
Bigger names than Chris Wood have left Burnley, and we've coped, so he'll not be missed as much as many might think, especially given his current wretched form.

I've seen numerous comments tonight on twitter stating that Wood isn't a PL quality striker, would you agree with that?
PL quality for me is someone who's regularly playing at this level and continues to do so.
When we signed Westwood there were certainly a number of Burnley fans who didn't rate him as PL quality, thought we'd overpaid at £5 million for him, yet now he's a key player.
Brownhill will continue to improve the longer he's in the PL because that sort of thing does happen you know.
Any player we sign from the championship isn't guaranteed to be instant PL quality, no one could predict Wood was going to score a minimum of 10 goals a season yet here we are.

I think your mistaken.
I have referred to Brownhill as championship quality.
Still not convinced by Collins tbh. Had one very good game and the ones I thought his positioning was suspect. However he’s very young and has shown enough to suggest he will be good.

Unless we make three top signings this window now, Pace has failed his duty’s.

Quite possible to get extra time; I filed late for the last year, but when I rang with mitigation they were quite wonderful, never thought I’d say that about the taxman, but in fairness I’ve always found the Tax office to be one of the more reasonable Government departments, if you are honest and friendly they really do all they can to avoid creating issues… part of the reason it is so sad when ‘businessmen’ try to outsmart the tax and then cry when the Taxman bites.Milltown1882 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 8:32 pmJust ask Derby and Sheff Wednesday they’ll be able to buy us some time

Like on the ratings thread when you said he "wasn't even a footballer". You're right that you didn't call him League 1 standard. You didn't even award him that courtesy.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 8:41 pmI think it’s highlighted purely because people argue with me about him.

Similarly when you've said Collins' positioning was suspect so you decided to call him Bambi on Ice on the ratings thread.
Bottom line is NC, you're a big baby who can't regulate his emotions properly so you come out with these ridiculous outbursts that make you look very, very silly indeed.
Just try and be a little more evaluative and sensible and people won't argue with you as much.
Re: Fans turning on Pace?
Could well be March for the publication of the accounts and possibly beyond. The Club's financial year will have ended on 31st December 2021 and information will currently be being pulled together to make up those final accounts. Areas such as cash flow will already be known and closely monitored throughout the year and may have had some bearing on this transfer. An audit of the accounts, subsidiary companies and supporting documentation will also take place over the next three months or so. Also bear in mind the impact of Covid in the first five months of 2021 when matches behind closed doors was the norm. Could well be some losses there.

Deluded if you think fans will be against Wood going. He played well second half of last season and that’s it.glad he’s gone we would be better off without him up or down fantastic business. Get tarkie booted through the door and time to re build. Tarkie is another overplayed pre Madonna. He thinks he’s Arnold Keoman but not in my book. Clear the dross and billy big Bo****s out and re build with younger players who want to play and have energy.
