 This is factually inaccurate.

Burnley bought promotion in 2009 and were placed under a transfer embargo for spending more on players than we could afford. Every season since that season we have benefitted from Premier League money/parachute payments.

This whole thread is weird, i'd much rather celebrate winning/buying the Premier League than have a promotion parade for finishing second a season after being relegated.

We faced the embargo due to missing an installment to Manchester United for the signing of Chris Eagles.
