    Another worry for us which is linked to the above comment is that we have no obvious assets to sell in this squad unlike the squad that went down under Kompany.We got a tidy sum from sales at the end of that season which I just cannot see happening with the current squad.None of them will be on the radar of PL clubs.

    Exactly mon ami, and if we can't afford to run a squad of 20 plus PL quality players, that's not the manager's fault.

    So what’s the point of getting to the Premier League ? We knew this was coming, and what we’d be up against , back in the summer. If we are going down, let’s go down fighting, not *****footing about. Will we win another game this season ? It doesn’t look like it. It looks to me as though Pace and his mates have learnt nothing from the past.

    No point at all, unless the owners are prepared to fund a PL quality squad, which they aren't. I suppose they could be hoping that we may turn up a gem who, with PL exposure, we could sell on for 60/80 million, but it hasn't happened yet and they've had five years playing at it. It's the poor buggers who buy STs in the hope of something better that I feel for.

    If you want to see something better you support a top 6 club, not the likes of Burnley, which has always been the case

    Not always been the case for me, the first ten years I was watching Burnley there was no team we couldn't beat on our day, and no team played better football. I've seen us put 7 past Spurs, 6 past Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and 5 past Arsenal at Highbury.

    It's not Parker nor is it the team that will probably see me ending my season ticket renewal for next season. It's Pace's contempt for me as a Clarets fan. The dude is a tw@t.

    That's a bit harsh BT and a change of heart.You have previously been very supportive of Pace.The results haven't been good recently
    but this Burnley FC you are talking about.A small town team in the big boys league where money dominates.In reality we will probably
    be in the Championship next season but that is a league where we can do well and,hopefully,prosper and play entertaining football.
    Keep the faith we don't want to lose you.

    Without consultation I get crammed post-match into a crowd crush of 6000 people. It's dangerous and it's bad practice. I hope Pace stays in Spain and sells us off ASAP.
