We have the player assets sinkov to float the boat, just as long as we don't repeat the Tarkowski debacle.

Yes we can keep the boat afloat mon ami by selling players, but when they've all jumped ship there'll be no bloody crew left to sail the boat. Never mind, there are plenty of Navy Cadets on the dockside, waiting to come on board and learn how to sail. Whether they'll be able to sail the boat at all, or whether they'll sink it, is open to debate. I think we should keep some sea-sick pills handy, it could be rough out in the Channel.

We will probably have Hennessey, Roberts Collins, Long, Mee (?), Taylor (?), Westwood, Lowton, Cork, Rodriguez, Barnes (?), Gudmundsson, Vydra (?), Weghorst (?), Gomez Mancini, Costelloe, Helm, Richardson, Thompson is what's left.

(?) are obviously added because the players concerned may either not sign new contracts or will be sold to balance the books.

Brownhill, Cornet, McNeil and Pope will be used as the sacrificial lambs to pay off the massive debt that the EPL should never allowed us to be lumbered with.

What a f*cking $hitfest!

I think you can add Collins and Taylor to that list of sales BT.I fear the financial situation of the club is even more serious than the powers that be are admitting.We will need loanee`s.Has SD been paid up yet?

[barrie_burn]

Don't pay him up.Bring him back

Strangely, I have heard that he wanted to go. It seems that his involvement in certain aspects of the club had been curtailed and that there was a lot happening in the background.
We never really know what is happening at a club, however, when you look at all the changes of personnel in certain areas with long serving staff leaving you begin to wonder -----just why?

Roberts, Collins, added to that list

Don't forget we will become a poor championship side... even our non PL standard players may jump ship to better prospects, Stability, better project, hell a team with a manager and staff (didnt Pace sack off 20 staff, pre Dyche sacking)even a team with players, in the championship. We are thinking we are elite... we have nothing literally nothing!!

Btw how do we push for a Dyche statue?

Wait until Garlick comes back as Chairman ---I'm sure that he will oblige.

what are the missed payment details, are they obliged to sell back to Garlick?
Would ALK not be tempted to sell players cash in and then default on the repayment to force a exit.. I would image a exit looks more appealing than the challege ahead.

I tend to agree FTD-ALK only wanted a PL club.All their calculations were based on BFC being in the PL and therefore if the situation is as bad as is being written about then they know there is very little chance of an immediate return to the PL.

From the Training Ground Guru in June 2021 about THE man who had been responsible for achieving the status for the Academy. A man very experienced in these matters and who was given the push by the current owners, much to the surprise of many within the club.
The intention being to take the Academy in a different direction ----a bit like the lirst team really!



Written by Simon Austin — June 9, 2021

BURNLEY Academy Manager Jon Pepper, who led the Clarets from Category Three to One, is leaving the club after five years.

An email was sent to staff informing them of the news at the end of last week, stating that Pepper was leaving for a new challenge.

However, TGG understands that owners ALK Capital, who took over on December 31st last year, were the instigators, as they want to take the Academy in a new direction and install their own Academy boss.
