The one financial downside I can see which I have previously posted is that Burnley FC have first refusal on our good players which might mean that can sign them for a pittance instead of their full transfer fee. If that is the case then there is little point in having this tie up.
Burnley player Marcel Lewis was not much use to us during the first half of this season whilst on loan and he was rightly sent back to Burnley at the start of the current transfer window.
