I'll say it now. It anyone claps him when he plays for Burnley our place, I will throat punch them.
Remember someone clapping Andy Morrell when he scored against us, throat punched them too.

Doesn't really mean much, it could be £1m and then £8m if he scores in a World Cup Final.

So apart from various twitter rumours, nothing official yet. Certainly no bid had been accepted on Saturday afternoon as he wouldn't of played. So I take it Burnley still haven't met our valuation, or payment terms. So the rumours are that basically they expect Burnley to come back again.
He's not gone yet

My mate works in a carpet shop in burnley (flattened out cardboard boxes) and apparently O'hare is up there for a medical as we speak.

But we don’t have those owners.

Maybe a few more hundred comments saying “if only SISU had invested a few million in January and we would have made the play offs…” will change that.

Fantastic.

Knew it by the writing style. Off the wall nonsense with a side of bizarre tidbits & assertiveness that make it almost believable
They've all lapped it up too, utterly brilliant. Keep it up.

With the caveat that, if he scores against us, and celebrates wearing a pair of shades, then I'll be leading the booing

Well no, but let’s not pretend and keep calling it “investment”.
Investment implies a return at some point.

what people want is a sugar daddy.

They are a high risk investment fund so it would be an investment

Always feel a bit sorry for the Twitter admins in situations like this. People asking for photos of them at training. They ignore it and everyone starts saying 'HE's GONE!' and they post one of him training today and if he left tomorrow there'd be a baying mob saying 'BUT YOU TOLD US HE WAS STAYING YESTERDAY!' such is the life of the modern day social media user.

Doesn't everyone though? Football shouldn't be a business (and by that I don't mean run a club irresponsibly). It's never been a vehicle for anything but losing money, but a Sky TV deal and formation of the Premier League with less trickle down of cash has led to high risk high return chancers, crooks, nutters and mad(wo)men

Of course they've always existed, but not as default!

Not really. We've seen with Mel Morris how easily that could go pear-shaped.

An owner with an actual strategy and desire for us to succeed would be nice though.

I want a picture of him tied to a chair with a copy of today's Daily Mirror pinned to his chest before I believe that.

Is a super daddy an improvement on a leather daddy?

What I’m saying is people don’t want investment because “investment” implies getting a return at some point.

People want a sugar daddy who will bankroll the club indefinitely and take nothing back.

It is if spending the money for player sales then means they have to them bankroll the club and fund the losses…

When we first went down we signed Lee Hughes from the Baggies.

We would have been the equivalent of Burnley (just relegated and tipped to go back up) and them us (mid table Champ club) at the time.

Baggies went up , we didn’t and the least said about Hughes the better.

(Trying to find a slither of positivity if we lose Cal)

Burnley flying to Portugal today for a week. Playing Newcastle over there next Saturday. All a bit weird re: timing if it is happening, and you wouldn't have thought he'd be training with us today if it was practically a done deal, as nobody involved would want the risk of an injury.

Maybe there’s a caveat that we get a replacement before the sale happens? Maybe why we’ll linked with Anjorin

The more recent example is McSheffrey to Birmingham - they had just come down. We replaced him with Kevin Kyle and Leon McKenzie.

He scored about 15 goals and Blues went back up

Women have it easy with all this Sugar Daddy talk. Sugar Mummy doesn't sound so good and might be a bit weird, can I call her by her real name or do we have to stick to the incest thing all the way through?
