Pace & Co.-The Five Year Plan

[army88]

With our 'Burnley fan' owners we went through a period under Sean's management which saw us do very well for a club with our financial resources, however, lots of fans moaned that we should have been spending more and playing better football and were wanting the hierarchy to stand down.
Eventually, the inevitable happened and we sold out to the current incumbents with their 5 year plan. A plan which seems to have taken us from having 56 million pounds in hand to owing over 110 million at the last count and increasing.

The nitty gritty of the transfer market is alway difficult to ascertain, however, according to the figures which I have been able to obtain we had a net spend of 71.11 million pounds during the 10 years that SD was manager.
In the last 4 years since he departed we have a net spend of 114.39 million which is quite worrying when you consider just how much we are struggling.

I really think that, as a club, we have lost our identity, however, it is what many fans wanted and was always on the cards when we moved away from owners who appreciated what the club was.
Fans were so pleased when the Garlick et al era ended because they considered that the club would progress. Sadly...................

All true Sub - but you haven’t mentioned that the premier league standards and money have increased ten fold in the space of times you state.

No one ever forgets what Sean did for the club I don’t think , and as for the new owners well if they didn’t spend the money and support the managers they’d also be *******ised for not trying to do the right thing.

It’s a tough ask isn’t in truth as if Dyche was still here we couldn’t afford a team of British footballers to compete in the premier league also would youth have got a chance.

So there are more than one way to look at the situation - also watched Sean Dyche teams many times without us creating a chance at goal - so the manager has changed the league has improved the moneys gone up and we’re still where we were before.
