Aye. They are ****. They still have some saleable assets in Pope, Tarkowski, Cornet, McNeil, Brownhll, Collins, etc. All under 30 and are decent enough.

Wainy316 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 But how are they in such a mess? They bag a shed load in TV money every year, sell anyone they get a decent offer for and spend bugger all. It doesn't add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans deserve better than this. Its a miracle dyche has kept them up all these seasons. If they go down i think they could go the pompey route Its a town of 70,000 located in area of huge football clubs. Every season in the premier league is a bonus for them. I know they have a great past but they are a small town club which makes it impossible to compete really in the modern game. There are probably about a dozen better supported clubs in the championship or league one than them.

Tarkowski is out of contract and wont stay. Pope is a good player but seems injury prone The rest could get fees except Brownhill the most meh player in the Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I fail to see how they aren't now **** as a result of all these postponements? It's very asymmetrical, as most clubs are on 20+ games played and they're still on 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Maybe it can... For teams down there who can't string results together and won't get that many more points and wins if they can time it right it could be a positive Plays Saturday and get a win or even a good draw and then the next game comes around Tuesday or Wednesday the positivity could roll on There was a time for us when a good result always then seemed to lead in to a cup weekend or especially an international break so we had no momentum, a lot of games in a short space of time could mean the opposite But it probably wont because they're shit Edited January 21, 2022 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Something like 13 players over the age of 30 in their squad. Apart from Cornet absolutely done to freshen things up. As much as i admire what they have done to stay up so far , we all know that standing still means going backwards in the Prem. I think this year will be the year where they run out of energy . Especially with the one player that they rely upon to play the way they do now at a rival Edited January 21, 2022 by MWARLEY2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Everyone thought Michael Keane was decent at Burnley, when I thought it was pretty obvious he wasn't and now he's absolutely dire and Everton fans hate him. Yet another poor transfer from them, for a lot of money. Ergo, I'd stay away from Tarkowski. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Just seen that Weghorst has scored 59 and assisted 27 goals in 118 appearances in the Bundesliga, would seem canny business like to buy him for half the price that they sold Wood for. Orsic seems to have a good record as well, score an hat-trick against Spurs last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Name Is Death Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 They may have deigned to bring in a foreigner, but there still manages to be something unmistakably Burnley about this signing. Excuse me if you think I am typecasting them unfairly. http://sportwitness.co.uk/emergency-exit-burnley-signing-not-vaccinated-vaccination-status-drove-turf-moor/ Quote ‘Emergency exit’ – Burnley signing ‘not vaccinated’, ‘vaccination status’ drove him to Turf Moor Signing Wout Weghorst on transfer deadline day for around €15m, Burnley got the man they wanted to replace Chris Wood, who had been sold to Newcastle United. The towering Dutchman will provide the physicality needed to bother Premier League defences, but it appears that his move to Turf Moor was one done by default. This comes from Bild in Germany, who explain it’s the player’s ‘vaccination status’ that sent him to England, describing the move as an ‘emergency exit’ for the player. That’s because Burnley ‘are among the last clubs on the island to not yet monitor the vaccination status of current or future professionals’. In fact, according to the German outlet, ‘there were several clubs from England, Italy and Spain interested in a Weghorst commitment’, but, in the end, ‘everyone waved it off because Weghorst was not vaccinated’. Furthermore, not only was Burnley the ‘emergency exit’ for the player, ‘but also for VfL Wolfsburg’, because ‘his recovered status’ from Coronavirus (he contracted it in October) ‘expired two weeks ago’ and his ‘continued employment would have presented VfL Wolfsburg with logistical and organisational problems, especially around match days’. They use home games as an example, explaining he ‘would not longer have been allowed to go to the team hotel’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say they are spending all of their income on wages and just trying to survive in the league. They would have very little sponsorship or hospitality income and small attendances. They are a midtable championship club at best. Edited January 31, 2022 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
