If they can sell another 500 by the first home game they will have to open, they will have to open to right hand side of the riverside

Doesn't take much for things to massively change in football.
2-3 years at this level for us and we're in a worse situation than them.

somebody quite rightly has a pop at the turds down the road because they'd certainly be doing the same if they could, gowd knows they gave it plenty back in the day
and straight away along comes C&J and has a dig right back at us
lets just take the pi-ss shall we, its what football fans do

We should sign Brereton Diaz just to rub in our superiority.

He wasn't having a dig at Burnley. He was simply pointing out what could very easily happen. If we don't go back up in two years, we could be in real trouble.

If I was a bstards fan ( shudder) I wouldn't buy a season ticket as if the Indian courts rule against Venkys in the upcoming tax case administration could well be next, other peoples hard earned money that pays the benefits for the banjo playing inbreds will then be at risk.

I've always found it strange that the Venkys family, including purchase price, has pumped in over £230,000,000 over the last 13 years of ownership.
In their more reflective moments, they must sit in their gilded Offices in Pune, and think, " If we'd only issued a statement saying " ..
" We are deeply honoured to take the reins of this great and historic Football Club. We do not pretend to know the world of English Football, so we intend to be supportive backers of the existing management team, both on and off the field. We have trust in Chairman John Williams, and Club Manager, Sam Allardyce. In each of the next 13 years, we will back the Club with further investment of £10 million per annum ... "
If they just done that, they would probably now be regarded as " model owners ", and saved themselves £65m !

Not sure you can say 14 years as it is intermittent depending on league position and cup runs so probably closer to 11 years all in all

They could have saved all of their cash and even shown a profit as Big Sam would have kept them in the Prem for few seasons.

In a couple of years fingers crossed they'll have sold as many season tickets as there were members of Wham. No club tropicano for the banjo playing inbreds.

But hopefully Clarets fans will be at “ The Edge of Heaven “, as the Turds

slide down the football pyramid.

They’d have saved millions more than that. They might even be in credit. Their losses are compound because of their actions.
