Of course I hope we get into the Champions League! I'm merely pointing out that our form guide this calendar year is something like 11th. We aren’t the finished article yet, but we are about to have one of our best finishes in years and years. It is hard if we don’t get CL, I feel we will but that shows you how far over the last few years we have come as a club... to feel disappointed with no CL 1

Aus Fox Posted 11 July 2020 Author Posted 11 July 2020 When people talk about if this and if that, poor performances against this side and that. 1) we are really disrespecting other sides - there are no easy points in the PL and 2) Do you not think that other teams look back on their performances and say exactly the same? We are above these sides for a reason and it’s simple, we’ve over 34 games picked up more points than they have. I don’t see it as we’ve blown a 15 point lead, we’ve just had our good runs of form and poor runs of form at different times. Every club has them, the way Liverpool and Manchester City have dominates over the last 3 years makes you forget this. For anyone saying we are not one of the four best teams this season, I ask you who are the four best teams this season - remembering a season is over 38 games. 1

Vacamion Posted 11 July 2020 Posted 11 July 2020 I didn't see the Watford v Newcastle game earlier. Newcastle's kit colour is "worrying stool".

Ageing squad and the board won’t reinvest any money, they’ll just expect Dyche to produce the same as usual. Mike Garlick said Burnley could’ve gone into administration when there was talk of the season being postponed. If they really don’t have any money then they either have a very inefficient business model or Garlick’s padding his back pocket with the tele money. Mike Garlick didn't say anything of the kind. I reckon before you start making accusations of multi-million pound fraud, you ought at least to check the odd fact. I know that public forums are renowned for innacuracy and stupidity by people who care nothing for truth because they're anonymous and they like muck-spreading, but that doesn't make it right. What Garlick said was that if the 2019-20 season didn't complete, and the 2020-21 season hadn't started by late August, then it would cost Burnley £50m.
Wymsey Posted 11 July 2020 Posted 11 July 2020 (edited) Am quite hoping for a draw between Tottenham and Arsenal, giving the smaller clubs around them a good opportunity to finish above them come the end of the season. Edited 11 July 2020 by Wymsey 4

Do Burnley get a smaller share of TV money than everyone else, then? Dyche has done a great job convincing everyone Burnley haven't got a pot to piss in. Other clubs have other sources of money besides TV money. For example, Leicester's owners have put £240m into the club; Burnley's owners haven't. It does make a difference. 1

Popular Post dsr-burnley Posted 11 July 2020 Popular Post Posted 11 July 2020 11 minutes ago, pmcla26 said: I wasn’t making accusations of fraud or laundering at all, look at what the Glazers done with Man United for years, taking money out the of the clubs revenue to put it into other business areas or personal ventures. Maybe the articles I read were sensationalised to allude to Burnley being put into a cloud of financial stress, which you say is not the case. I just thought it was weird how some articles could say they’d be under so much strain and the correlations to Dyche alluding to the board lacking ambition in the transfer market. There must be money to spend from the TV deals and sponsorship money I would have thought. The club accounts say that Mike Garlick takes no salary and no dividend and no income at all from the club. If it's different, then ask the auditors. The point about "lack of funds" is that the club has TV money plus gate and sponsorship, but nothing else. The directors don't have hundreds of millions, they don't even have enough to guarantee loans. Clubs like Leicester have a wage bill £62m p.a. higher than Burnley and a squad which cost £170m more than Burnley's simply because you have more money. Other clubs do it differently - Bournemouth are about to go down £200m in debt, with half of that owed to other football clubs, and heaven alone knows how they can ever pay it back. That's because they borrowed and borrowed and blew the lot on wages and transfers. The Burnley board are careful to build a reserve so that if we go down, like last time we went down, we don't have to sell all the best players just to pay the wages of the ones who are no use. That way lies Hull and Bolton. Hence the £42m in the bank as at June 2019 (latest accounts) and Sean Dyche's comments about wanting to spend more. That £42m has to cover future events like ground development, future signings, relegation costs, and unexpected pandemics - and will result in us coming out the other side of this pandemic with cash in hand and a fair chance of raiding the championship for bargain price players from clubs that are skint, we hope. The strain between Dyche and Garlick is because Dyche (apparently) does not have the final say over signings. He presumably has a veto over who he doesn't want to be signed, but the players he does identify won't be signed if the price is too high or the wage demands would blow a hole in the wage structure. That's Garlick's decision, under advice from someone else whose name I can't remember but who Dyche apparently doesn't like. It's been fairly clear for a few years that Dyche would leave if he got a better offer. As would every other manager of every club in history, I suppose. I reckon he's making it clear that he's available if someone wants to make him an offer. So all we can do is pray that the "right offer" doesn't come. At least there is no doubt that his, and the players', hearts are still in the job! Now do us a favour and beat Sheffield United and Spurs, please. Pretty please? Just do it! 11 1
Ian Nacho Posted 11 July 2020 Posted 11 July 2020 If Villa don’t beat Palace, a draw between Watford and West Ham will send Villa as good as down. 1
Deeg67 Posted 12 July 2020 Posted 12 July 2020 Thank you, Sheffield United. Man U is probably too much to ask, but we still have a chance to finish ahead of Chelsea. 3 points tomorrow is an absolute, total must. No ifs, ands or buts.
Nicolo Barella Posted 12 July 2020 Posted 12 July 2020 Chelsea losing like that is what we in the business call "a huge dub". Now we just have to win our last 4 games...
Aus Fox Posted 12 July 2020 Author Posted 12 July 2020 5 hours ago, Gerard said: No chance, only a win is good enough tomorrow. Would Chelsea or Man Utd take a point at Bournemouth? Chelsea and Man Utd have 1 point between them at Bournemouth! United lost 1-0 and Chelsea needed a late equaliser in a 2-2 draw. People on here seem to have a weird obsession with results this season. Bringing up our 1 point v Norwich - yes we had two poor performances against Norwich but We seem to forget the other teams around us also have poor records against the bottom 6 sides this season. Neither Chelsea nor United have taken a single point from West Ham this season, we’ve taken 6 and scored 6. The away game with a reserve side playing. 2

I find it weird that our supporters obsess over the negative, when we’re here having the second best season in our history. This place is saying this result and that is unacceptable, when the reality is players have bad games... every club bar Liverpool this season will have 4/5 games they look at and think how did we get nothing from those. Norwich whilst being crap, are far from the worst team in PL history and have taken points from Man City, us, Arsenal, Spurs from the top of my head so not really unacceptable and not worth bleating on about every time they play a game is it. 2

Who cares they fluked a game against Man City, slipping up once is ok, slipping up twice is shame on us. That's 5 points right there that shouldve been nailed on, we didnt even have the excuse of playing them when they were red hot either.
