the debt rises

[Despair]

I'm with you guys - well in the past.
I suppose in many ways our clubs could have been construed as a community asset, albeit not actually owned by it. But none the less run as one ie purely for the entertainment of the local populace.
Need it be said that even in the 'changing days' ours was rightly seen as very much one courtesy of Mr Walker (who invited all along for the ride).
Again on this subject - pubs, who also are under financial threat ( Blackburn has to be the starkest example of their demise. There is absolutely no doubt as to there community benefit ie the 'local' , the village pub.
In these days a new feature is to elect them to 'assets of community value' (in fact my most local one is one such) and being run by an ex regular.
I don't know the 'inns and outs' of this, but I am assuming whoever takes one on gets some kind of allowances/assists.
Wonder if BWD council can find the wherewithal to assist with BRFC.
Maybe that's a step too far sadly.

Been announced that Burnley have posted a profit of £30.1m for their recent premier league season. Currently sitting pretty at the top of the Championship with 8 games to go. As a business model their approach has to be admired.

When you appointed dyche you were on the verge of going under financially after overspending on shyte like Leon cort etc. Well run my arse, you got lucky, Very lucky.

and we didn't get lucky with JW???

The depth of your bitterness is truly breathtaking Saxo. Only beaten by your profound stupidity. Surely even you can see that, part of running the club well, was appointing a manager who actually could do the job. No luck there, just sound management. If an employer wants to appoint someone for a position, they don't just take pot luck and hope that the appointee will by some stroke of fortune do the job well. They do their homework and make the appointment on the basis of what that homework tells them about the candidates.
Similarly if a business is run well it will survive in the market place. No luck there either. The same applies to football clubs. The Burnley board are playing the long game, taking a holistic approach to management, looking after the whole body, not just parts of it. That is why Burnley are doing well and other clubs are not.

Oh I see! So the board took you to the brink of financial ruin under laws and howe just because they wanted a challenge.. Dyche saving your asses against all the odds was all part of the well thought out plan all along..

Your right, brilliant.

As a Burnley Supporter, i honestly believe that Venkys dont know which way to go, i dont think they realised too run a Football Club consisted of laying money out,as they stated when they came, they wanted publicity overseas, i would ask do they regret what they took on with your Club, also as a non Rovers fan, i am not happy with this situation as it is, and also feel that they have removed all loyalty away from your Club, they could give Lambert more Millions and he could up sticks anytime, what then, why did he come, it must be well known in Football Circles Blackburns reputation, as it has been since these people arrived, because i have seen this at my Club over the years, Loyalty in Football, very very rare, (we are very lucky, with these People at the moment at Burnley) but we have to hope we can replace people sensibly when the time arrives, i do hope that your situation improves, but i cannot see Venkys throwing money at Football !! As it is Blackburn Rovers has been turned int

Thankfully nobody cares about the club enough anymore for it to be splashed all over the national media.
