Burnley partnership

[BCram]

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.

Islay, speculation that they might sign our best players for a pittance doesn't seem likely. Why would we do that? I don't believe for a minute that this Burnley tie up is designed to give them cheap players.

The new owners of Burnley Football Club are not doing this tie up out of the goodness of their heart and they will be looking for a financial benefit in return.
They could have sent players on loan to us if they wanted to without an official tie up.
They sent Marcel Lewis on loan to us for the first half of this season and we all know how well that loan turned out.
