I hope the plans for improving the stadium are better than the plans for improving the team.

I think in 18 months we will have a better idea but I don’t think expectations should be that we will have an all singing all dancing stadium with a team in Europe

He's scored more Premier league goals than any of our strikers so I think you're wrong by some distance

He scored 6 goals last season and hasn't scored in the championship this season. Do you think he's better than our top two strikers?

You don’t think these new owners are going to improve the stadium and atmosphere ? They want to make the name of Burnley big on the international stage including America. Someone will be able to find where Pace has said as much.
The stadium and facilities are run down on most parts and I’m sure fans will react positively to such an uplift

To be fair you have to have funds to improve the stadium.

Top 2? The guy said any of our strikers not top 2 and I've rightly disagreed as he clearly is and his goals return shows that

That’s the point there isn’t one.

The owners haven’t spent a penny in January yet they are having to flip shares just so they can afford to pay off Garlick.

Worrying times

Planned on selling Tarks to pay off the balance by any chance?

Charlie just scored for QPR. Now there is a goalscorer

Stop torturing yourselves guys, I think we’ll be ok! I’ve been wrong before, hope I’m not this time!

Please do not write this season off. If Fulham beat us here then its all to play for plus we still have to play them there. That's a 6 point swing

And if we beat them here and they beat us there what does that do to the swing ?
If we beat them here and beat them there ,will you forget about swings ?
I’m not complacent just confident we are going to stay up, so much so that I am not worrying we will get beat by any side ( after Wed of course )

Just popped up on my pad that Everton and Fulham have both agreed B’mouths terms for King. Must be down to the player, who purportedly wanted to return to the NW.

Re: the owners. I commented at the time that the worry was in the name. ALK INVESTMENT. investment firms want returns. Always more likely to take out more money than they would put in. F**k it. Life goes on.

Agreed Liz but its far from over and im pointing out it can change quickly. An injury now to either tarky or mee would prove disastrous. You could add mcneil to that. Small margins given our lack of depth

Given that the owners are trying to flip shares just to pay off Garlick I would suggest there is no money at all available.

Sorry if I’ve missed this but according to Sky we have signed a Dara Costelloe from Galway United and Chris Conn-Clarke has gone on loan at Fleetwood.

Edit. Just wikied him. A pacy 19yo left winger. One for the U23s I’d imagine.

It’s Elizabeth , Dominic. Glad we can find some agreement.

Your worries are in the back of all our minds but we have to believe in the new owners working with Dyche and try and repress painting these worst scenarios

Not sure how you can not be concerned.

Blimey David Nugent signs for Tranmere from Preston.......

COVID car park attendant presumably......

Its what lies behind our failure in the Transfer Window that is of concern

The thing is Elizabeth EVEN I (bizarrely noted for my unswerving pessimism) believe we have enough to stay up, BUT as has been said by many, we're only 1 or 2 injuries to the really key players (Tarks/Mee essentially) from all that dramatically changing. What happened in the early part of the season was frightening and we were simply cannon fodder, even for the mediocre/below average teams like Newcastle. The back up we have in certain key positions is clearly not good enough and if called upon we'll be bu****ed!! Hence I really would have slept a whole lot better with just 1 (maybe 2) decent, considered signings.

This may be a final contribution tonight.
Dyche got a bit lippy with Garlick over transfers at the start of the season but has kept it buttoned this time.
Any reason ?

So I take it, by all these comments about ALK and the fact that they have said ‘no comment’ on the subject of flipping shares to pay off Garlick, that we have been well and truly taken to the cleaners. Have I got it right?

I think most just have far more concerning things going on at the moment, I think everyone’s different and evidently there’s a core of 10/20 or so on here that are very concerned, each to their own

Nothing wrong with it by the way

More U23 news...Goodrige to Barrow on loan

It might not be that critical but certainly puts the club in a precarious position if the next instalment is not paid.

Boden has mentioned that the club could potentially go back to Garlick if instalment are not met. No idea about the legal terms around that or if it’s even true.

Fair enough difficult times for everyone at the moment I sometimes forget that when I start talking about Burnley.

It's the hope that kills you. I keep coming back to this thread. So disappointed.

That's all folks, a couple of young lads out, nothing coming in.

Good night, God bless

That's completely stupid to relate your personal problems to the problems at the football club we love which is only for entertainment.

Of course people being "worried" about the transfer window etc isn't at all comparable to the risk of having a sick loved one, being made redundant etc.

Unless Garlick brings back the 60million that effectively paid him out, back to the club with him, then the position for him is now unattenable. He can absolutely do one!

Definitely not our worst transfer window ever, but one of the most disappointing.

The club, the CEO and the new owners all raised expectations for this window, so it's natural that the fans expected us to do buisness. The big slap in the face is to find out that there was a nice little kitty tucked away which the club has used to effectively buy itself. That money could have been better spent throughout the last 5 years and would have surely made the re-build job easier than it will be now. I think those suggesting fans should be anything other than disappointed are not being very fair.

This.

Remember when you were crying after the last window when only Stephens was brought in?

Old Mikey G not looking so bad now is he?

With the ALK news, it’s proving to be the worst transfer deadline day ever!

Even worse in my opinion - not only did he spend nothing on players while accumulating £55m cash, he allowed a leveraged buy out!

Exciting times

1 month, this must be a record for fans turning on new owners! They haven’t done themselves any favours!

Watch us get 2 injuries vs City
