I'm trying hard not to create a lawsuit and stating the article is entirely my own opinion. At present the piece is a bit too long so I am in full edit mode.

There has to be a fair bit of guesswork because as with almost all football clubs, deals are shrouded in secrecy, but I don't think we are all that far off from being way beyond the threat of administration.

It appears to me Alan Pace knows exactly what he is doing. Revenues this season are in the region of £115 million and that amount of money gives Burnley Football Club loads of "wiggle room".
I look forward to reading it mon ami. I assume you have made full use of the club's last Annual Financial Statement ? You can't get into trouble for factually reporting what the club has already put into the public domain.

I'm intrigued by your prediction of £115m revenues this season, without giving too much away from your coming masterpiece, could you give us some idea on how you've come up with that figure ? It's only about £25 million below our peak revenues from the PL era when we had TV money coming out of our ears. Maybe the Parachute payments are far higher than I was expecting, that might explain it, but if our revenue only drops £25 million, we reduce the wage bill, and sell most of our saleable players, then indeed we are in a far better place than anyone could have anticipated. It all sounds too good to be true to me.
