I don't blame Wood for leaving, but his comments (in the comfort zone) makes me think he isn't the only one with that attitude left at Turf Moor-guaranteed a place- so continue with diabolical performances and a lack of effort from a number of players!
I have never displayed much confidence in SD operating in both the transfer/loan markets, and remain of the opinion that Cornet wouldn't have been his choice either (15 million on 3 ageing journeymen perhaps)
Just before the season started we were reported in the press close to signing Harry Wilson from Liverpool.
SD stepped in and vetoed the move stating it would be wasting money as it wasn't an upgrade on what we had-Lennon and Gudjonsonn-REALLY!
Maybe someone else is now “pulling the strings” - see Lancs live post earlier in the season
.New owners ALK Capital, who completed their takeover on New Year's Eve, have made the change as they assess how they want to move the club forward.The owners see the Academy as ***** to the future of the Clarets and partnered with AI Scout to launch a search for prospective new players earlier this year.They have also drafted in PAUL JENKINS, a former Middlesboro coach, who has been advising ALK in recent weeks.
His official title is technical consultant for ALK/Burnley, with a focus on the Academy side.
JENKINS is a hugely respected figure in the game having spent two decades as part of the Boro coaching staff, the bulk of which was with the Academy but also included a spell working with the first team in the 2016/17 Premier League season.
ALK have also brought DAVE BALDWIN back to Turf Moor in an advisory capacity.
The former Burnley CEO is a vastly experienced football operator who will play a key part in assisting with the Clarets recruitment over the coming months.
He left his role at Turf Moor to join the EFL in 2020 but was in post a matter of months before stepping down and his return will be seen as a major positive by many given his experience
