I'm a sort of a half full glass type of Burnley fan.

However, I just cannot see a way we won't be back in the Championship again by this time next year.

We have about 15 players currently on the books who are highly adaptable to life in the lower leagues; first job I reckon is to move this lot on, save some wages and bring some money in.

Sambo, Delcroix, Massengo, Obafemi, Hountondji, Dodgson, Costelloe, Mellon for starters and then Foster, Benson, Tresor and Koleosho need sorting one way or the other.

I do not envy Parker's job in the next 6 or 7 weeks.
