One upside of a potential relegation (and I now rate that at about an 80% likelihood) is that we will get our games back against Blackpool, PNE and BR next season (unless god forbid, they make it out).

Must say I have missed them, so at least one thing to look forward to.

If we get on a bit of a slide we could have Accy and Rochdale
Its not all doom and gloom !

Another positive would be the lack of available streams for our games. The pain our games bring to those watching on TV and forcing them on here to have a meltdown maybe lack of availability would be a good thing for everyone

Slide a bit further, RandomC, we could renew our Ancient Rivalry with Stockport.

Agreed. Relegation would not be the end of the world as long if Dyche stays in charge. there could be a lot of interesting games, weekends away and, most importantly, wins.
I still think we'll come good and hit a decent streak .

Rovers are 4th and in very good form with one of the better managers in the league. If we do drop, that derby isn’t guaranteed.

It was great fun those few years after we first came back down when we were playing Rovers, PNE, Blackpool, Bolton and the Yorkshire sides regularly. I do believe we’ll stay up this season but I hope we get one of the above in the cup.

Had hoped they'd carry on their trend and, sacked him a while back.
He's done, still is, doing a good job over at the Stable Yard.

Well, we either stay up and we’re happy, or we go down, beat them all and we’re also happy. As long as Alan is sensible I don’t think we’d struggle in the championship anymore. 6 years in the prem has given us a team capable of winning that league. Just look at Fulham, and they were absolutely dogshit compared to us last year.

A sensible thread with no name-calling or belittling what next

Fulham kept nearly there full team and then signed further players.

We are losing half our squad and are in debt. As Tony said on another page I imagine financially we will be in a bad spot

80%

A lot of money to be made with the bookies rating us just short of evens.

We would be screwed if we didn't bounce back. There's considerable debt to be serviced. Also, the current running costs are for an EPL setup - the cost-cutting would be eminence.

Would much prefer us to be in championship, which let’s face it is and always has been our level.

I don’t really care about the financial side, I watch the team not the accounts.

Would be a much more enjoyable match day experience if we got relegated for me

Eminence cost -cutting would be a Cardinal sin...

Pope would have to go...

I would suggest you would care about the accounts if we did a Bolton/Wigan/ bury to a further extent

The finances drive the kind of team you watch.

Don't

I'm not overly pleased with the way this season has gone, but we're 3 points from safety with a game in hand, and, more importantly, 24 games still to play, so it's hardly 80% chance of relegation.

8% maybe.

Just checking that people are aware that you can lose derbies as well as win them

Have I missed PNE, Blackpool and Rovers fans lording it over us?

Not in the slightest

It's nearer 8 than 80.

Bookmakers prices suggest around a 50% chance of relegation.

Oh well lets hope for league 1 then. If some can't cope with losing to teams like we do now, not sure losing to the likes of Cardiff and Luton would be good for them.

I think League One is streamed as well, as well as League Two That EFL iFollow thing which you subscribe to and get to watch all your teams games.

I think you're safe there, so after a 3-0 defeat to Boreham Wood, hopefully not much moaning on here.

It's the same style of football played on TV as it is at the Turf. If you want people to stop complaining about how poor we are maybe it's the football that needs to change? Just a thought.

I am fine with peoples opinions just offering some free advice, if you don't like something on tv, turn over. It almost sounds natural.

I don't watch any soaps I find them mind numbing, isn't that a better approach than watching them and then whinging about them ?

If you don't like seeing something negative on here you could just change over to another site? Is that not the same thing?!

The best thing about the Championship was the competitiveness. Going into games with an equal chance, not being dominated possession wise. I’d look forward to that again.

Burnley (and Dyche) are absolutely set up for Championship football. Just a shame we don’t seem to be able to make that next step up like Wolves, West Ham etc. I know it’s a money thing but I thought that’s why we were bought. I’m starting to be of the belief that the new board don’t actually have any money. I also don’t believe Dyche is capable either. He is a magnificent manager at Championship level and has worked wonders keeping us up but could he cut it next level?

Sorry if it sounds a bit negative. Isn’t meant to.

We are not going down.

And I certainly don't want the Unspeakables to go up.

Frightening prospect, down amongst the dead men from where we have been for several years.
cant think of anything more mundane than awful games against rovers and preston or blackpool .

No chance we are going down and no chance on Rovers or PNE doing the impossible and coming up

I seem to remember the Horse Botherers thinking Man U was their local derby at one stage………

Must admit, these days I’m beginning to think the same

Was slightly shocked to read Mr Pace saying the other day we would be financially better of going down and it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I miss the derbies but would not swap them for playing the best teams in the country

If I could find something as funny as some of the meltdowns on here I would.

See there is a difference between us established already, if I could find something more enjoyable I would tune into that, you on the other hand would prefer to sit at home and get all angry at a football match you aren't even at rather than watch a different game that would make you happy,

I keep wondering how you expect me to watch a TV channel while I'm at the turf. I love Burnley, I've invested a lot and time and money into them, if I want to complain about what I'm watching I will, just as I will celebrate when we are playing well.

I presumed the fact you got so defensive when I have repeatedly said those who don't go to games yet do nothing but criticise should turn over the channel and watch something else was you putting yourself in that group.

At no point have I been defensive, just enjoy pointing out the hypocrisy of "don't watch the game if you don't enjoy it, but I won't leave the site if I don't enjoy it"

Stuff tye local derbies..znd the championship .I want premier league football
