Totally acceptable, however every pundit, and fan are shouting loud from the roof tops, back your manager. If we didn't have the last 5 ears those U23's would not be here and so we need to progress to improve that. I fear if we drop to the Championship, we have players on 1 year contracts about to run out that will be snapped up on a free as we are relatively poor even by Championship standards, and why would any decent U21 not move to a better stated ground?

MG has screwed it up no matter how you try to dress it up
Screwed up what?

Our rainy day money is being used to keep the club afloat during this rainy year...

That's a good point about top players leaving on a free. If we are glued to the bottom of the table this season, then they won't be signing new contracts.

Still, as far as MG is concerned, we will still be sustainable because their wages will also go with them and we will have the parachute payments.

He is considering BFC only as a business, not a theatre of dreams for fans.

Look around, compare, and listen to the professionals. Dyche has been hung out to dry and when our club falls through trap doors (plural) remember that is because MG did not agree with speculate to accumulate.
So you’re only argument as to why he screwed up was that he didn’t ‘speculate to accumulate’ in a league where we are NEVER going to be able to constantly compete without huge backing.

I can live with that.

Speculate to accumulate means get into debt.

It seems that Macca has poisoned a lot of brains with his unfounded allegations. I get the impression that there are personal grudges by Macca for Garlick and LTL for Rigg

FCBurnley, players like Hart and Lennon we’re luxuries and we had cover for them, so they needed moving on. The thing the Club couldn’t have anticipated was the high number of long term injuries to nearly every position in the team, which I feel has led to our present predicament.
The Clubs lack of clarity regarding the availability or lack of it to sign anyone so far has created a lot of gossip among supporters, which causes mainly ill feeling among ourselves. The Corona virus is far from finished and spending the amounts some clubs have, will cause financial damage to a lot of them, and may start biting next year.

ClaretAl this isn’t FIFA you need to get in the real world.

Our club could easily be the next Bolton or Wigan. The board are doing what is required to keep our club afloat.

Totally agree, but that depends on how much we are in the black you are setting as the buffer for the TV restrictions, or that you need a clear bank balance for a take over to go through. Either way i would consider the cost to replace those on contract renewals that are due for renewal next year, and leave on a free which you need to replace with the young ones we deem fit to loan out league 1/2, and then realising you need to build a squad on no money and attract a manger and players to club that dont back them.

So you’ve not looked at the accounts, ok.

And how much more success would speculating have given us given we really wouldn’t be able to speculate that much, we’ve finished 7th and 10th for god sake.

For 1 I’ve no issue with him not wanting to spend what little money we have on over priced players. Dyche needs to think outside of the box a bit.
You can think outside the box when you have a squad to work with. What Dyche is being asked to do is nothing short of a Harry Houdini escape trick.

He might have more of a squad if he wasn’t fixated on signing the same type of players all the time.

It’s not all his fault but it’s not all MG’s either

We have two players for position apart from one. Which we might fill in the next couple of weeks.

More hyperbole from BF2K. Get a grip

We were in the black approx £40 million give or take a little.

Garlick predicted drop in revenue of approx £50 million a few months ago due to Covid related items, like TV monies rebate, match day revenue etc.

And you can do a bit of squad rotation so that the fringe players stay up to match speed.

We have 2 players for every position??? Premier league class players??? Name the 4 wide players we have??? We have 22 players, 3 are goalkeepers, 2 right backs (poor ones), 2 left backs, 4 center backs (2 poor/unproven ones), 3 wide midfielders (2 permanently injured), 4 strikers. Where’s the balance or quality.

You can take that statement literally ;)

And before you say it Dyche doesn’t make the signings. He/his team may identify and have the final say but he doesn’t set the fees or the wages.

No I haven't, have you? I have seen last years accounts if that helps? However that corresponds to nothing and I feel like a bottom drawer is becoming 2 at the moment, with an intended take over happy with funds outside of that drawer.

Nope, it's just become more apparent in the last couple of seasons.

People are opening their eyes to what is going on.
The business model has been p1ss poor, Mr Dyche highlighted these issues years ago, some people can see what's about to happen if you fail to plan.

Constantly nodding and towing the party line often does more harm than good, things need questioning regularly or people get comfy.

You could see with every window that went by it was getting harder and harder, yet the plan was still to spunk fees and wages on ageing players.

We were told we couldn't compete in year 1 with any other premier league club regards fees and wages.

We are now on year 5, and guess what we still can't compete, if anything we have gone backwards, and before you say 7th and 10th isnt backwards, you're right it isnt, but that's down to 1 man, and that man isnt Mike Garlick.

He has failed to build or design a successful business model.

1 tiny example.

Do you think spending 10m on Walter's for 2 years was better than spending 12m on Brooke's?
The latter IF relegated gets you you're money back at very least, if develops multiples your money.

Walter's does neither, it's dead money for little gain.

Constantly putting plasters on things that clearly need a dressing or addressing isnt sustainable

Garlic has made his big decision this window. He could have sold Tarkowski but decided the value the club had put on him had not been matched by the 2 other PL teams who bid.
He could have sold Tarkowski to allow Dyche to bring in new blood but held firm in his beliefs. People have either to support this bold move by Garlick or come out and state Tarkowski should have been sold.

Are you saying that Walters was a Garlick decision and foisted on Dyche? Dyche has/had a pretty free hand on what players to bring in, if he was highlighting the ageing squad years back it was the players he brought in that were ageing. Why didn't HE sign younger players?

And given Tarks lack of desire to put his body on the line last game, and his wry smile when the opposition scored, that may prove to be a fatal mistake. Time will tell.

I'd put that more down to being played on the wrong side to accommodate Kevin Long. Now that could upset him.
Actually, I'll go a bit further with this: Kl has played right centre, JD left, why the f"ck didn't SD just bring JT back replacing KL?
Add to that we lose JT's long diagonal pass to Dwight, which has been such a great get-out ball.

Time will tell with Tarkowski this season because back up is short of the required quality and experience.
My challenge to the posters having a go at Garlick on Thi thread, and they have made themselves clear, is to answer my question. Should Garlick have sold Tarkowski?

Did we? I honestly can't remember us playing anything other than 4-4-2 since the first half of the season we finished 7th.

Selling Tarkowski and using part of it for new signings would have increased the bank balance. So if Macca's accusations that Garlick wants to add to the cash at bank to make more profit for himself are shot out of the water methinks.

If the best offer we received was £37m (in installments?) and we had to pay a very large sell-on fee to Brentford, we couldn't even have bought Godfrey from Norwich

Only if he was absolutely determined he wanted to go.
We'll probably never find out the details

if you were garlick, what would you do, serious question.
he's a businessman, and a successful one. we just turn up on matchdays .
nobody on here knows him personally. unfortunately being a fan of any club anywhere means having to like it or lump it when it boils down. we have been collectively ecstatic when things were on the up, no one was clamouring for exits or explanations.

SD stated that he wanted to keep Tarkowski so therefore obviously knew that there would be no more money for significant signings. It was SD who told everybody that the club policy was to Sell First and Buy Second after all.

If Garlick had sold Tarkowski to the highest bidder it would have been against SD's stated wishes.

Nope, it's just become more apparent in the last couple of seasons.

People are opening their eyes to what is going on.
The business model has been p1ss poor, Mr Dyche highlighted these issues years ago, some people can see what's about to happen if you fail to plan.

Constantly nodding and towing the party line often does more harm than good, things need questioning regularly or people get comfy.

You could see with every window that went by it was getting harder and harder, yet the plan was still to spunk fees and wages on ageing players.

We were told we couldn't compete in year 1 with any other premier league club regards fees and wages.

We are now on year 5, and guess what we still can't compete, if anything we have gone backwards, and before you say 7th and 10th isnt backwards, you're right it isnt, but that's down to 1 man, and that man isnt Mike Garlick.

He has failed to build or design a successful business model.

1 tiny example.

Do you think spending 10m on Walter's for 2 years was better than spending 12m on Brooke's?
The latter IF relegated gets you you're money back at very least, if develops multiples your money.

Walter's does neither, it's dead money for little gain.

Constantly putting plasters on things that clearly need a dressing or addressing isnt sustainable

Is he just taking the mick because he knows there will be no fans in the ground to tell him exactly what we think?

How do we get the message across that the guy is finished at the club and has lost any last shred of respect with fans?
If you feel that strongly there is a Burnley blue print - I’m sure you will remember the Teasdale protests.

Worth also considering the situation of the club at that time as well.

Let's say Tarkowski hasn't made a fuss, would you have sold him if you were chairman and you thought the only way you could support your manager in this pandemic was to sell one of your prize assets?

I assume Garlick must know what (some of) the fans feel about
lack of transfer activity. Possibly not to what extent and how many.
I think Garlick came out and said at the beginning of lockdown
it could cost us 50m and bankrupt the club. This was before the season resumed
and I believe TV money continued but maybe not to what it was previously.
I don't recall him saying that as a consequence we won't be able to fund much if anything
in terms of incoming players even though he knew we were 3-4 short in numbers.

It doesn't seem feasible to think we'll be back to 'normal' - i.e fans attending etc.
for at least another 3 months - probably more. Worse case scenario is
that it may well be next season before we get back to pre-covid days.

So losses might well be over 30m - possibly closer to 40m?
If so that will leave us with very little if nothing if we are to believe
we had around 40m in the bank.

It's clear that that influenced his decision not to keep on most of those who left.
Add Hendrick and Gibson to that and he's reduced the wage bill by at least 120k a week.
I suspect he sanctioned bidding for Wilson on the belief that Tarkowski might go
if the bids got close to 40m. They didn't and Dyche made it clear he didn't want to lose
Tarks even though he said it was out of his hands.

So, we are where we are with virtually everyone (Dyche, fans, even players and probably Garlick too)
with a sour taste in their throats and not feeling too good.
And three relatively poor performances into the new season.
And still waiting for 2 or 3 of our better players to get fit and back playing.

As far as I know the players are still getting all their money and the club have agreed to pay all
the other folk who work for the club.
I don't blame Garlick particularly but wish he'd come out and say why or something
to explain his decisions/thinking.
Otherwise all we're hearing is from Dyche and his supporters (TV pundits+) and some fans.

And Dyche we all know is 'pixxxx off' because he can't even replace those who have left.
Although, in actual fact, we have replaced two of those who left.

I don't know whether the relationship between Dyche and Garlick is repairable.
Sometimes they can be and if not a parting of the ways is probably the only way.

But I do think Garlick needs to take the initiative and at least try and
bring everyone together for what may well be a very difficult season ahead.

Not sure what that may be but do think fans may well have to do something too.

No.
Because we would be weaker without Tarkowski.

If the best offer we received was £37m (in installments?) and we had to pay a very large sell-on fee to Brentford, we couldn't even have bought Godfrey from Norwich
Everton have only paid 20m.

It's not that black and white though is it. We have got rid of several high earners off the wage bill so we could have looked at the loan market for example. Us critics don't expect 3 twenty million pound players we rightly expect ambition and to strenghten a depleted squad not to mention an injection of youth.

Are you saying that Walters was a Garlick decision and foisted on Dyche? Dyche has/had a pretty free hand on what players to bring in, if he was highlighting the ageing squad years back it was the players he brought in that were ageing. Why didn't HE sign younger players?
Because our budget was about £10

Let's reverse the scenario, do you think Mr Dyche said to the chairman, "hello Mike, bring me in an ageing Walters and an injured Wells please, they're just the sort of players I think can push us on"
No did he ********, if possible he would buy the best available.

Mr Garlick does things on the cheap and/or only acts when its forced upon him.
