There are a number of issues that the club would have considered when dealing with Burnley: 1. The owners have a clause in the agreement to buy Burnley that in the event of relegation they will be paid fees. This year it is reported to be £15M. 2. They have a very high wage bill that even after...

No sign of mine either

I find it incredible that certain “interesting individuals” keep turning up in potential football club takeovers. It just makes me feel the “fit and proper persons test” is NOT fit for purpose. You only need to not have any spent criminal convictions & show proof of funds… and we know from the...

The impression it gives of Burnley being "entitled" to recruit O'Hare for whatever they "deem" appropriate stinks! I really hope they don't get promoted for the next 3 seasons.....then we will see a financial reckoning

Thanks for your insight, which correlates with my experience with players having a tough experience when realising that they are commodities to be traded. Alongside this is the role of the agent, who is conflicted …. They make significant money from such a move as this. Young players need to...

How much of their wages will they pay? That’ll be the limiting factor

And with Kelly out injured …… and Eccles not yet ready ….. it doesn’t look like a good idea to sell O’Hare.

Bassini has a very "interesting" track record. I'm just pleased he's not involved in our club

Anyone leaving?

I think everyone has identified the need to strengthen the defence. We conceded too many goals to be a play off team. We scored enough goals last season to be in the play off's, so if we can keep both Godden and Gyokores fit and at the club....the along with W & W we have enough depth in that...

1-0 down after 2 mins....... hopefully, we'll turn this around

Any system which tries to allocate a limited resource is always going to upset somebody. I've just looked at the criteria and as I've had a season ticket for the past 4 years, it seems I get a good chance of away tickets. However, I only go to home matches...so that's one ticket that will be...

His injury record since his his season with us has been terrible. I would be a big gamble to sign him and one we probably can't take.

Great shirt......it's a return of one of my favourites! Well done CCFC!

I’m definitely in the group of supporters that never want to see a CCFC chocolate kit ever again. It reminds me of the 7-1 thrashing by West Brom…. Possibly my worst away experience

How does the £13m comply with competition law or illegal state aid? Asking for a friend 😉

If Gyokeres is sold, which really hope doesn’t happen. It will be interesting to see if his rate of improvement is maintained. He’s definitely benefiting from our excellent coaching team

Agree - the owners used the same tactic as the Glazers to buy the club .... a leverage buy out, then transferring the debt to the club and charging over 8% interest

It’s a pretty incredible development from 18 months ago, when he arrived here on loan. A £1m signing to £10m within a year .... even by Argentinian inflation standards that’s a significant increase in value

Pasta has increased by 50% over the past year.... so, I make it up from £15m to £22.5m 😉
