There's a reason why MSD put such a clause in the loan contract. It's because they would've known that the first season post relegation would offer Burnley the best chance of repaying the majority of the loan - due to revenue being generated from the sale of players and them receiving...

Why do you disagree? It's not a case that journalists ring up agencies or football clubs they don't know in order to prize information out of them. That's a pretty massive misconception from fans. Even national writers such as Alan Nixon have a difficult time and they have a network of...

Tarkowski is leaving on a free. Lowton is 33 in June. Weghorst I'm not sure on. There is a rumour that he's another with a relegation get-out clause in his contract but that's very much speculation at the minute. In any case I don't think they'd attract a significant fee for him and would...

Peterborough already have several strikers. Equally a club chasing promotion out of L1 wouldn't likely touch him anyway. His time at Portsmouth would've pretty much cemented that. Whilst it's a rapid fall from grace, it's a move that probably is a good fit for where his career is at, at the...

The loan in question was from MSD UK Holdings wasn't it, not ALK Capital?

Andy Turner isn't overly popular at the club. If he started to nose around he'd likely not get anywhere and he doesn't have the network within the industry to receive info/go hunting for potential targets either. You'll probably notice that the ITK posters don't often give out names and if they...

That's not really the point though is it. Robins is never going to reveal who his targets are to a second rate local journalist.

Do you honestly believe Robins would tell Andy Turner of all people who his targets are?

Pope would attract a decent fee - although a percentage of that will have to be paid to Charlton - and it won't be anywhere near Burnley's asking price I'd imagine. McNeil will have suitors in the PL and Cornet will likely receive interest. No one else would really attract bids. Collins...

Burnley really are in a bit of a mess. Sales might just about repay the loan but that'll probably be as far as they'll go as not only will relegation reduce the value of their saleable assets but clubs will be aware of Burnley's financial situation which will go against them in negotiations...

Has that been confirmed? I'm guessing if so it'd be down to ensuring the pitch remains in optimal condition, as the games don't even start until 28th July.

Last summer we hosted Wolves. Hopefully, that wasn't a one-time thing due to the club returning to the CBS and we're able to host at least one again this pre-season.

Exactly. The mentality of some fans is still firmly entrenched in L1. We're going into our 3rd season in the Championship, why are we so bothered about easier opponents being promoted?

Utterly ridiculous arguement when no points are guaranteed.

Yeah I think it's a bit sad to be honest. I'd much rather Sunderland were promoted than Wycombe. Far bigger away following which means more ticketing income in the home fixture if they're promoted. Really don't see the value in Wycombe being promoted.

Depends on what his view is. I can't imagine he's overly enthused with the lack of game time he's received. Assuming the latter isn't sold Godden and Gyokeres are automatically in front of him in the pecking order. So if it's possible to move him out on loan then it's a no brainer to do that...

Yes I understand that, I probably wasn't all that clear in this post.

Well it is a bit ridiculous. I mean they claim they've lost 3x more than Villa have in that same period. Their CEO has also claimed because the transfer market contracted significantly, they were unable to generate significant transfer fees which is completely intangible.

Comparing it to other clubs is meaningless in some respects, as it's about what Everton can prove if an independent commission is appointed - which I doubt they will be. The fact they've apparently already got the green light from an 'external auditor' suggests it's a lost cause by Leeds and...

Yes, it's a last gasp attempt. It appears that they were certainly very close to breaking the regulations but they technically haven't. Don't forget a significant amount of their losses can be offset if they can prove they're Covid induced and stadium/academy/training ground investment is...
