We could run a sweep stake on "how many pages of this thread before SISU sell the club". I'm going for 30,001.

Beware Lawrence Bassini is bound to show interest…..hopefully Sisu have his card marked

Our clubs current finances (based on the last set of accounts) look significantly better than almost every club in the Championship…. Although that’s a pretty low bar ! We lost circa £3.4m For a potential new owner of a championship club that would not deter them….. what might is Sisu price to...

Mike Ashley was looking to buy a club …. Just saying. That would be an interesting negotiation. Sepella v Ashley . Not one for the fainted hearted

It was interesting to see MR change the shape of the team earlier than last season and Fabio was key to that option. I think he'll be used as an impact sub all this season.

Derby fans seem to think £3.5 m for Sibley would be the fee that would be sought

EFL.............What's their position on this? It's not a good look.

Its not just a club meeting the transfer fee we want…..any deal will also be influenced by the schedule of payments. I would guess we would want two payments rather than four to six that Burnley would suggest

This story is fast moving for Burnley. They’ve just taken the next three instalments on Popes transfer fee from MacCrorie Bank, which is the equivalent of a payday loan. Today, they’ve pulled out of a transfer for an Anderlecht player and the remainder of the £65m loan is payable at circa 10%...

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
