Another who leaves us owing us absolutely nothing

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:20 pm**

All the best Nick. Top keeper.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:20 pm**

The best Burnley keeper of lifetime. It'll taken some doing to find someone even on par.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:20 pm**

Alex James reckons the fee is around 12m

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:22 pm**

Some complain that it's Newcastle, but I don't care. I wish him well wherever.
He deserves to be in the top flight, and only Southgate knows why he isn't number 1.
Unbelievable achievements with the Clarets, and God knows where we could have ended up without him.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:23 pm**

What a crying shame, to lose such an invincible keeper, who loved it at Burnley.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:24 pm**

An underwhelming signing at the time that proved to be a pot of gold

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:26 pm**

Really does feel like the end of an era now with Nick leaving on top of Mee/Tarks. Best of luck, the best keeper I have seen in a Burnley shirt. Now for some positive news PLEASE Burnley...

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:26 pm**

A sad day Nick could have done better and I wish him well and thanks for all the brilliant performances. I would like to think his England prospects will improve ,but with Southgate in charge I doubt it.

12 million, I feel like the lub has been mugged

Like Tarkowski and Mee, Pope has been outstanding for us and I wish him all the best at Newcastle.

I am led to believe that could be with add ons. Sky reporting it at £10 million.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:28 pm**

A sad day for Burnley to lose one of our greatest keepers for such a pitiful amount of money. Shame on Pace for selling him
And selling him so cheap.

I wish Nick all the best for the future with Newcastle.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:29 pm**

Signed for about a million quid I think, and served us well for over 150 games, and we've sold him on for a good profit.

All the best Nick in your Newcastle career, and who knows you might yet break into the England side yet prior to the WC.

Nick Pope will always be a claret and I wish him well especially now he’s at a bigger club and may end up being Englands No 1 for the World Cup.

Just glad the money isn't in the former directors pockets who bleed the club dry

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:33 pm**

£10M or £12M, we’ve been robbed.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:34 pm**

A simply brilliant keeper and a nice lad. Feel really sad about him leaving seems like the end of something special.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:35 pm**

Awful bit of business in my opinion. Daylight robbery.

Would be interesting to be a fly on the wall for negotiations. I heard that Newcastle were the only club interested in him, but if that’s the case is it sentiment that has led us to accept a low bid for such a loyal servant? Surely if nobody was paying our valuation then we keep him for next year for the promotion push… unless of course it’s a combination of big wages and the need for funds to strengthen.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:39 pm**

I suppose it was always coming once we were relegated, but it doesn't make it any less gutting.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:39 pm**

I know a football team is a Ship of Theseus, but losing some parts hurt more than others.

Thank you Nick.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:43 pm**

Good business from the club he doesn’t want to be at Burnley remember he would have been on silly money another great bitoff business move on championship hear we come utc

First, he's been a brilliant servant, fantastic.
I guess that if Newcastle's was the only offer we had little choice but to accept, assuming that Nick was keen to leave.
On the plus side: we now get to blood a (hopefully)younger keeper who may need this season to develop adequately for our return to the PL..

0.5/10

Anyway cheers Nick. Good luck.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:46 pm**

All the best Nick at Newcastle.
The best keeper I have seen at Turf Moor and I go back to Colin MacDonald and Adam Blacklaw.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:46 pm**

Just like Ben Mee, absolutely gutted with this news.

All the very best, Nick, but I can’t stand that Saudi-owned club.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:46 pm**

Why is the fee so low and particularly when it’s Newcastle ? Deserves to be playing PL football but I’ll want him and Newcastle to let in a shed load of goals going forward. Do not like what they represent.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:47 pm**

Truly is end of an era chaps. Here's to the future

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:47 pm**

An excellent keeper for us but I still think Heaton was better.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:47 pm**

I'm not one to defend the current regime, but I don't think they had many options when it came down to accepting the transfer fee.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:47 pm**

Fantastic player for us - shame it’s only Newcastle but hope it puts him in the international spotlight more (though I doubt it).

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:47 pm**

Yes a nice tribute that Tony.
We have been very fortunate to have Pope, Mee and Tarkowski at Burnley, outstanding players and outstanding men, we can but wish them well. They go with our thanks.

Because Pope was fairly desperate to leave and Pace is definitely desperate for cash.

It’s an absolute insult.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:50 pm**

I just wish he hadn't gone to the most blatant sports washing club on the planet.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:52 pm**

All the best Popey, show that big nose yes man Southgate, who's England's number 1

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:52 pm**

I feel like vomiting when I see their fans waving Saudi flags.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:52 pm**

He deserves to be back in the Premier League, owes Burnley absolutely nothing, he has been an outstanding servant and doubt I have seen a better keeper at Burnley in my lifetime, All the Best Nick.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:54 pm**

Brilliant keeper for us.
Great ambassador and raised the club profile through his goalkeeping exploits.

Goes with my best wishes.

The price is what it is, he only had a year left I think on his contract with the option of another, but we've got what appears to be a good, solid keeper already here with a back up, so we aren't being left up a creek etc.

The money can go towards Kompany's transfer kitty and its helping to bring the wage bill down.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:56 pm**

Shame he's gone to Saudi FC, but I don't blame him for wanting to stay in the PL. Would make no sense for him to stay in the Championship with a World Cup coming up, and at his age.

I also get why he would have gone to Saudi FC, he will be on some silly money I'd imagine.
All the best Nick.. a class servant to the club, our last 2 main keepers haven't been too shabby

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:56 pm**

We are always going to be a selling club but to allow Mee, Tarkowski and Pope, the heart of a very solid Premier League defence, to depart from a combined grand total of £10 million is beyond belief. That is at least £50 million that could have come into the club with smarter contract and transfer management.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:56 pm**

Another Twitter unfollow.

Wish him all the best though.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:58 pm**

Sad day but he deserves to play at the highest level.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:59 pm**

Approaching his best years , 10 million is simply not enough.

Can't make players sign new contracts though.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 8:04 pm**

Then you sell at the right time.

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 8:05 pm**

Another opportunity for me to post this picture of four England goalkeepers

Posted: **Thu Jun 23, 2022 8:05 pm**

It’ll be a strange opening game

When was the last time we had none of the trinity of Mee, Tarky or Pope in the starting lineup for a league game?
