Down and out

[matucana]

Relegation confirmed. It was never going to be anything else.
Even with all of the applied points deductions we could not take advantage as we were so far adrift. Everton could have a further nine points deducted for possible administration and it would make no difference to BFC. What a total shambles.
Inept and naive performances from many squad players, along with a very bloated and inept management team with little clue about game management, and an inept ownership who still do not understand the role football has played in the history of the town of Burnley or even football at all, along with the passion it creates amongst supporters. Their approach to financial management is very much smoke and mirrors and does not engender confidence for the future existence of the club.
In response to the lasting legacy thread of ALK in January 2022, I stated that their legacy would be relegation, substantial debt and flashing lights. We are now back on track and heading downwards after the very fortunate blip of a promotion in what was a very poor Championship league.
Hopefully ALK may decide to cut their potential small losses soon and ride off into the sunset before chaos and further debt ensues. Plenty of interest in the wings, but alas a heavy stench of stubbornness pervading throughout Turf Moor. I feel a situation is developing which could be increasingly damaging to the club, the people's club, the town's only former jewel in what has become a very tarnished crown.
Going back to the mass signings and reveals over the two windows of January 23 and August 23 where incoming players were stating how excited they were at the prospect of being developed by VK to become better players ( it became the regular PR mantra at the club), some must now be totally disillusioned at the outcome of either being loaned out or ignored.
What a dreadful and embarrassing season with what appears to be no accountability at any level. The supporters deserve far better.

What are you basing this on? What do you mean by no accountability?

You must have been miserable last season when we were winning. What utter shite.

Away end response better than any of the guff we will see on here

Literally folk making stuff up now and spouting buzz words. Crazy times

Has there been a recent new membership push amongst over emotional but slightly immature teenage girls?

You feel like this because you have an inability to manage your own expectations. You are miserable because you choose to be so, and your post reveals you are looking for company.

I couldn't imagine being such a bedwetter. Honestly pal, strap on a pair, be thankful for life, for football, the continued existence of Burnley football club and learn to take defeat with as much humility as you most definitely show in victory.

We are certainly down, but we are absolutely not out.

You are miserable because you choose to be so

Some people do genuinely enjoy being miserable.

The irony

And if a poster gets X number of dislikes, they are binned for 24 hours.

Honestly Vegas, the only dreadful and embarrassing thing here is the difference you see between the attitude of the fans that follow the team up & down the country & those who follow them online.

Well done the boys who travelled and showed proper support.

Er. Ok.

Er. Ok.

Just an old man type statement that isn’t needed in 2024.

So the clique can bully posters like Newcastle? Good plan

[GetIntoEm]

You sound perfect for the FAB

a "tosser" button would be perfect

Wonder where the OP sits for home games? Blackburn End or Jack Walker? What a knobjockey.

Sorry love.

Some absolutely shocking posts on this thread.

Travelling back from the smoke. For balance, there is big disappointment that we didn't push on from last season. Failure to sign players in key positions and the 100 million pound player project has cost us. It feels like a good opportunity missed. Kompany has been stubborn in team selection and must take responsibility and learn which I hope he will. I'm looking forward to the championship, but our ambition must be the premier league.
We're down, but our great club is certainly not out! UTC
