Charlie on his bike ?

[WillPark]

Yes it is strange about Cornet. He came to play against the best, and did well. Must be clubs that want to sign him. Does he belive we will bounce right back? Or does he love Mr. Pace so much he does'nt want to part with him just yet?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Strange one is Cornet, I'd have thought he'd be like Weghorst and be off at the first opportunity, but as BT has said, he's telling the media he's not seeking a move, he's quite happy to stay at Burnley.

I'm assuming his release clause only means we are obliged to let him leave should a club put a bid in at the required level. I'm assuming it doesn't place any obligation on the player to move. So if he wants to stay at Burnley, he can, even if the bid triggers the release clause. Is this the case ?

Yes it is mon ami. Wood left because the release clause was triggered, he doubled his wages and got a signing on fee, Maxwell obviously likes it here at Turf Moor.

He lives in Manchester and we keep signing people from Man City.He gets a lift back & fore to training.What's not to like

Cornet will go, clubs are playing the long game... many weeks left. would expect Cornet, McNeal, Taylor Brownhil all to go by the end of the window..
- Buying youth is good for a long term rebuild, not a fan of loaning tbh
- I would like to buy a few more established Championship players age 23 -26

Charlie is being linked with a move to West Spam.

It all fits, you can see this happening, and a few others yet as well as FTD says. We haven't raked in anything like enough yet to make much impact on our eye-watering debt.

Hennessey just left.
So has:
- Collins
- Weghorst
- Pieters
- Pope
- Dale
- Mee
- Tarky
- Bardsley
- Lennon
if Taylor, Cornet, McNeil and Brownhill also leave we are left with 6 players if I'm not wrong. That is not enough to hold on to a club culture. They'll have to start from scratch. Not a good idea in my opinion.

It certainly appear to be that our American owners are "Asset Stripping".

It may be that we could be in for another relegation dog fight, but I do hope not. I was rather hoping that we may be challenging for promotion,

Appointing Vincent Kompany as our manager made me think we were starting to show some ambition but unless these sales have been at Vincent's instigation it would appear he is already having the rug pulled from under him.

I find myself in the unusual position here of defending ALK and Mr Pace. He stated quite clearly in the last Annual Statement that, in the event of relegation, we would have to address our reduced turnover by selling players and reducing the wage bill. Which is what's happening, he's doing exactly what needs to be done, as he said he would.

There's a long list of players who have left, but we've also brought half a dozen or so replacements in haven't we ? I cannot see Vinni being particularly unhappy at this stage, I would think it's proceeding exactly as he thought it would.

Those ten players were hemorrhaging around £500,000 per week in wages and NI contributions and that was unsustainable. I'm glad Pace understands how a balance sheet works.
