Alan Pace

[Stonehouse]

Don’t particularly like the guy but he’s certainly pulled out all the stops after the Sunderland **** show.

[Dennis]

Alan's daughter, is that you?!

[Burnley1989]

Seems a nice guy, I can see he's doing the best he can.

I'll never like the way he purchased the club but I'll try snd enjoy the ride.

[tally]

Exciting times every year its unbelievable we are permanently on a roll (bank)

[BleedingClaret]

If I lent him twenty quid and he gave me back a tenner.
It’d be a start
Just that

[Stonehouse]

Alan's daughter, is that you?!

Not unless I’ve had some bits moved and stuck on somewhere else.

As was said on another thread regarding the ownership. They have control of the club, all fans can do is back the team and manager. These guys are not here to lose money and it's very easy as fans to call every decision into question. The team will be what it will be, I think ALK have got things wrong but at least there is plenty to talk about. A distance away from the transfer window of Dale Stephens...

Key difference is that we had a much better side when we signed Dale Stephens.

[Casper2]

Snake oil salesman, still pulling the wool over the eyes of the gullible.

[Notsosuperstevedavis]

They’re learning, they’re trying. They’ll get better at it.

Chill

I prefer this to watching a slow death under MG and absolutely nothing arriving on the talent conveyor belt.

All we got from him was ‘computer says no’

[bfcjg]

Constructive criticism is fine,I've done plenty and am concerned about the club and criticism is to be expected,however some of these comments are childish,unhelpful,not funny and embarrassing. As fans surely we can do better?

Nah he’s well weird. You heard him laugh?

[Dark Cloud]

I feel Alan is a really genuine guy doing everything he can to do his utmost for the club, whilst also doing his utmost for the investors and the bank balance and that tight rope has got to be bloody difficult to walk. We've been at several crossroads before during his relatively short stewardship and we're now at yet another. The way he comes across I never doubt he feels it personally, as well as in the balance sheet and desperately wants the club to succeed. Course not everything has gone great and not everything in the garden is particularly rosy right now, but looking around the leagues I can't help feeling we could be in far, far worse hands. We'll see.

[Boss Hogg]

More and more unconvinced as time goes on. Was happy to give them the benefit of the doubt initially and was accepting of some financing.

[wadeswondergoal]

I’ve no doubt Alan is a good god fearing man. His investors have put him in place to face the wrath of the fans. He’s the fodder

Makes him a moron

Reminds me of the boss from the us office

Didn’t stop you abusing him though?

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Did the right thing in potting Dyche

Since then he hasn’t shown much acumen for running a football club and letting Kompany splash £100m+ was negligent.

Not sure he has what it takes to take us forward, suppose we are going to find out!

[Inchy]

Didn’t stop you abusing him though?

No, absolutely not

It’s not his club

[Bowclaret]

The guy has backed his Managers and backed us - now it’s our turn to back him !

[k90bfc]

Ok then,just do the right thing,and bring the old players portraits back,all around the outside of the ground ,respect to those players,familys,fans alike,taking them down,was a disgrace to the Supporters Club fan base,without consultation,it is not all about what happens on the pitch,please do the right thing,UTC.

Love the commas

[Vino blanco]

The problem started with our absolutely disastrous summer window last year when we signed a bucket load of average, light weight fancy dancers for big money. I would love to know if this was Kompany's plan or Pace's plan, or a combination of both. This needed sorting out.
To be honest, I would have loved to have kept Berge and Odobert, but it wasn't to be. All the other players we shipped out this pre-season didn't concern me at all... in fact if Jayrod and Trafford had also gone, I would have been happy to wish them farewell. If we keep Esteve, Koleosho and Brownhill in the next couple of hours, I think we will have had a good window. With the new players we are bringing in we will have one of best squads in the division and I hope we have a manager who can blend them into a team that plays attractive, attacking, successful football. Tomorrow is a very important day for us all, get behind the team everybody and save your whinging and sarcastic comments til after the game.

Judging by your last sentence you are expecting us to lose then?

[Vino blanco]

Not at all I can see a Clarets win by 2 or three goals.

[gandhisflipflop]

Don’t particularly like the guy but he’s certainly pulled out all the stops after the Sunderland **** show.

Like I say, some owe him an apology for the appalling abuse that has been posted on here. Lord knows what social media has been like. Embarrassing.

[Claretitus]

Was in The Lounge at Crowood tonight dining with his family and a couple of guys who were definitely on MTB series 1. He was on a table adjacent to ours, and was continually on his phone and messaging. This is 100% the truth. Looks like there still may have been deals to be done. This was around 8.30 pm.

[lewishamclaret]

I like him. He's all in and giving it everything. No it isn't easy and I don't like the way things have had to be rebuilt every year. But not easy to avoid when we've been relegated twice, had changes in manager. Give the guy a break.

[Inchy]

I like the guy he’s sweet.

Very sweet

[Burnleyareback2]

Or sure the “some” have the balls or dry sheet to admit it. Likely to banish off until the next loss.

[Shaggy]

Can he play up front? Or has he been sold?

We’ve generated £100 million in sales this summer I believe
We’ve still got a number of players on the books that will generate profit when sold

We’ve spent £50 million ish

Wouldn’t be doable without the recent transfer windows we’ve had under Kompany

[blatherwickstattoos]

Yes it’s been a **** show . But he’s got rid of some dead wood and made a healthy profit for the club

[Belial]

As above, he is trying to balance the books as well as supporting the managers, players and fans, which can't be easy. It's also easy to say in hindsight that he made an error in judgement allowing VK to blow his wad on all those players last season, however the majority of people believed we'd stay up, so he was, like most people, only fooled by VKs failed project and I'd be fairly sure he's trying to put right. Let's see how this season pans out...

[gandhisflipflop]

He could have given all the transfer money to you and you still wouldn’t have been happy.

[Rileybobs]

Since when did supporters seemingly become more interested in the financial performance of the club ahead of its on-pitch success? If we don’t finish in the top two this season this transfer window will have been a failure. It’s too early to make a judgement until then.

[Commy]

Wrong thread

[Goliath]

Agreed and I dont see us being anywhere near with the squad we have at the moment. Hopefully I'm wrong!

Since the day ITV Digital went tits up officially.

Proper strange isn't it? Is there some secret shares we aren't aware of or something?

[ClaretPete001]

I must admit I don't know the new players well enough to know but I agree any financial success has to be also based partially on performance on the pitch...

But we have a good few new faces and I think a decent manager so we we'll have to see.

[blatherwickstattoos]

You’re literally not reading what I’ve said

[gandhisflipflop]

Apologies baltherwickstattoos. You are right. I misread it.

[Vegas Claret]

Maybe the Sunderland performance was the wake up call they needed. He has responded, very strong end to the window imho so credit to him and especially Matt Williams

Have we got a striker in?

[BurnleyFC]

Have to admit, I won’t be putting the bunting up just yet until I see if they can be moulded into a promotion winning side.

I still think we’re light up front.

[ClaretPete001]

Have we got a striker in?

Fair point we have to see how the squad pans out... It's early yet

[Vegas Claret]

Have we got a striker in?

we did, but we've been playing him out of position on the right wing which has a completely different skill set. Let's see how he goes

I meant one today, you cheeky sod!

[Suratclaret]

Whether or not Alan Pace is a good chairman, whether or not he is doing what’s best for Burnley FC, there’s absolutely no excuse for calling anyone a “moron” or a “ parasite” or any of the other insulting words. I don’t know the man and I do have concerns about how the club is being run following the take over but if all anyone can do is using insults then it’s pathetic.

[Vegas Claret]

I meant one today, you cheeky sod!

lol, sorry mate I didn't interpret your post that way Flemming will bag mate, squad is very solid now imho. Just hope Parker can get them firing. Half way between Dyche ball and Kompany ball hopefully
