Burnley could easily be relegated this season in fact it is much more than likely. The Championship is cutthroat down there and there is no guarantee that they would bounce back up again as they did last time. It could well be that they could end up with an extended spell in Tier 2 and not impossible to slip further, there being ample examples of such over the past 30 years.

I would have been happier with a tie up to a more established Premiership team. The top ones would be out of our 'league' but maybe Palace, Everton or West Ham might have been better although none of these are guaranteed to remain top flight. A tie up with Spurs now that would be the dream scenario for me!
