McNeil, Dunne and Benson whether you like it or not, have broken into the First Team Squad from the Development Squad, so something is working, is it not?

This obsession you share with Alto and a lot of other Burnley fans is the belief he is out of his depth. We finished in tenth position after 38 games in the EPL last season and the club ain't going broke.

If I had just landed in Burnley on a Starship from Mars and saw Barnfield, looked at the accounts, so no debt on the books, realised all major assets are paid for and looked at where we finished last season, I would quite reasonably think, "Phuck me, this lot have one bloody good custodian at the Chairman's table".

Incidentally do you think Messrs Holt, Flood, Nelson, Kilby, Crabb & Banaszkiewicz are all out of there depth too?

We also have a globally renowned University of Football Business which was instigated under the watch of our Chairman.

On quiet reflection he does not appear to be too far out of his depth to me.

Perhaps our Chairman needs to tell Dyche to stop whinging and get on with his phucking job and leave the rest to him?

But please don't let your anti-Garlick obsession get in the way of the facts eh bfcjon.
On the other hand the visitor from Mars could look at all the above and see a club whose chairman has allowed the number of senior players in the first team squad, despite the manager's pleas, to shrink to a level where the bench has to be filled with youth team players. He may then conclude that in such dire circumstances, as the club still managed to finish 10th in arguably the most competitive league in world football, that it must have a genius of a manager hamstrung by a chairman who is a bit of a clown.

And ET would be right.
