From said Telegraph article .... Burnley have emerged in a healthier financial position and are well set to invest in the summer.

I would imagine Garlick would be delighted to cash in if the right offer came along

with all the nonsense that comes his way on this forum alone who could blame him - the club - it's infrastructure, playing staff, backroom team and support staff are miles ahead of what they were when he became "custodian" - you might not like it now but it is much, much more than what we could have imagined when he took over

Totally ridiculous comment from Sean if true. Still if I got 70k a week I'd probably do as I was told.

We have completely ignored the risk of injuries to wood and Barnes for money we don't need and tried to fob fans off with crap about it being good for sam.

“Healthier financial position and are well set to invest in the summer”

Well you know I’m really glad that the Premier League club that consistently turns over large profits at this level are set to invest now that we’ve got that £5m for Sam Vokes.

On another note, we hear this one every year. I mean, we do invest, just tends to be a) Very late in the window, and b) Not the targets we wanted originally anyway.

" Well set to invest in the summer " Yes, of course we are...

How much are you prepared to put in?

I’m pretty sure he didn’t say “the club are” anything.

What’s the point of these threads? The window closed two days ago, the majority (including myself) think it was a poor window. We can’t do anything about it now; couldn’t you all just have had your rants on Thursday night and left it there?

It is time to move on but it doesn't help talking bobbins in the press.

"Club are stronger after transfer window"

He suggested the club has more money, that's all. Don't 'loose' any sleep over it.

More money for a serious promotion challenge.

In all seriousness though I’m glad they’ve clarified there was no pressure to sell him.
Something disastrous would’ve had to happen behind the scenes for us to need raise that sort of money before we can buy.

I can't understand Mr Garlick takes the credit for the current financial situation. We are in this healthy position because we have had the TV money from the premier league. I would like to know what part he played in that In 2014 we won promotion with no investment, SD and his coaching staff are to take the credit. When we were relegated, the team investment was paid for by player sales, so Mr Garlick made no contributions, on promotion we sold Keane and Gray within a year subsidising the investment. Since then despite the accumulation of funds the financial constraints continue, so SD is left having to chase players between £10m-£15m even though the market and our available funds have moved on. I don't understand why Garlick takes the credit for pulling out of intended targets for the sake of half a million. The TV money is there with or without our Chairman so what did he do to put the club in the position it is in
