    Quite impressed with that for a number of reasons.

    1) He told us more in one presser than Garlick has told us in ten years, a lot more.

    2) He said they had thought about buying a Championship club, he didn't seem to think it was the end of the world, or their ambitions, should we be relegated.

    3) Without going into the numbers or anything, he said they knew Sean had been frustrated in the transfer market, but it was their intention that he would be frustrated no longer.

    Let's see what happens over the next couple of weeks, a good start for me, but then it wasn't a high bar I set him to hit, I was well pissed off with the way Garlick was running the club.

    I agree a good start, he sounds honest approachable and thoughtful with ideas for the future and some things he wants to change. A good advert for Tesco too. All we need to how is whether Sean likes it enough to stay or prefers Palace.
    It all depends on him now!

    .

    sounded like 30 odd mins of blather for me.....what we already know about Burnley, that he knows little about Football - and how he wants to use algorithms and techy things - (I'm not interested in interactive crap/ mobile app phones) - and he should get out more...looks like he's been sat behind a computer screen for fartoo long.




    I dunno....benefit of the doubt, maybe he's all spazzed out cos it's been a busy time.

    I'm sure he would if he could Norder, but like the rest of us he can't, the Mad Scientists of Sage won't let us. As for the rest of the blather, as long as he fronts up with the readies for Sean, he can blather all day long for me.

    ...Sure he wouldn't just jump on a Private Jet (city/street friends ?) there's plenty to be seen on the tracker....scoot stateside, see family, head to the mountains, or florida...hop over to the caribbean even...nah, he just sat in his London broom cupboard flat, watching flix and playing with interactive stimulants.... .






    as for those other modelers, Sage,,,and one in particular.

    Was Tosserologist extrodinaire - Neil Ferguson - W.h.o was behind the mass culling of eleven million sheep and cattle during the 2001 outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease....and also predicted that up to 150,000 people could die. There were fewer than 200 deaths. . . .then in 2002, Ferguson predicted that up to 50,000 people would likely die from exposure to BSE (mad cow disease) in beef. In the U.K. - there were 177 deaths from BSE.
    In 2005, he predicted that up to 150 million people could be killed from bird flu. In the end, only 282 people died worldwide from the disease between 2003 and 2009.
    In 2009, a government estimate, based on Ferguson’s advice, said there was a reasonable worst-case scenario that the swine flu would lead to 65,000 British deaths. In the end, swine flu killed 457 people in the U.K.

    Last March, Ferguson admitted that his Imperial College model of the COVID-19 disease was based on undocumented, 13-year-old computer code that was intended to be used for a feared influenza pandemic, rather than a coronavirus. Ferguson declined to release his original code so other scientists could check his results. He only released a heavily revised set of code after a six-week delay.

    So who's nuttier - them with their plan....or the people for believing it ?

    I think he is a great guy, love to have a beer or two ,well an orange juice. Alan has a religious belief,(I would not compare him with someone who has just stepped out of Wall street ). In this video, we can hear, he is very concerned about the club and community, he said ''people are suffering'' Just that sentence gave me the confidence we are in good hands, could you hear this from Venkys? So I am very happy with the owners. We are just going to be a different club with higher ambitions. Don't worry be happy!
