In my opinion there is Absolutely no chance of a takeover at a Burnley.. Business or no business as usual will continue..lol

Business or no business

"For years, Burnley have been one of the country’s best run clubs"

No they haven't, if they had been a well run club for years they would not be in the dire state described above. What they have been is a poorly run club, living off the back of one of the best young managers in the game. What we are seeing is chickens coming home to roost, as they do.

We have lost four of our, already threadbare, first team squad. Yet the new season officially started last Saturday and we have no replacements.
If I was the team manager, I would be somewhat more than dissatisfied with the club’s recruitment policy. If you are being asked to do a job with your hands tied behind your back, as I believe Sean Dyche is in that position, you need to consider whether it is worth continuing to do the job.
While the club has stayed financially stable during our Premier League membership our first team recruitment as been very poor and nearly always done at the latter end of transfer windows, being cynical is this to save one month’s wages. The club is rapidly becoming a known for making exceptionally low bids for players, which has led to losing out on some very talented players as other clubs have jumped in to pay nearer the asking price.
We certainly do not need the likes of Flood making press statements regarding the manager leaving, what we need is someone to give the recruitment team a good kick up the backside and told to get on with getting the team manage what he needs to stay in the Premier League.
If Garlick can’t do that then it is time for him to give way to someone who can. If this means a takeover of the club then it may be that is the way forward. Some people will say be careful what you wish for, we could end up like Blackburn, but there are others who have prospered under new owners.

It’s true re the takeover it could go bad , but I’d like to see what Dyche potentially could achieve with access to funds for players, reality is football moves on every year prices go up prorata, we’ve stood still as you say making derisory offers and missing out , im all for prudency and players worth being tested to get a deal as anyone would be , the problem is all we do is waste time that Dyche could have with the player.

After thought on this if we are serious about staying in this league and competing then outside investors - owners seems to Be the only solution for us as a small club in the mighty league.

If you all take stock for a moment and put yourself in Garlick's shoes, and look at some of the money he has been persuaded to chuck at dodgy deals, no wonder he wants to be certain before wafting the cheque book.

Hart was a grossly overpaid and mind-blowingly daft signing and proved to be as much use to us as a chocolate teapot. We have replaced him with someone who can sit on the same bench, do exactly the same job at a quarter of the cost.

Lennon was OK without breaking any pots, JBG and Brady are both fit so the squad is no worse off in reality.

Fif**** million pounds was spunked and wasted on Gibson and if I was Garlick I would be thinking "not again" on my ticket.

Are Garlick and Dyche really "disconnected" on a personal level? Are two US consortiums really battling to buy Burnley? Rumours are not facts.

We have two non-playing, highly paid senior staff who are clearly not doing their jobs. Our new CEO is noticeable by his absence and what the phuck Rigg actually does is anybody's guess.

Since Dave Baldwin departed we are a bit rudderless IMHO, and again if I was Garlick I would be having a F2F meeting with the trio of Rigg, Dyche and Hart all in attendance and be telling them in no uncertain terms to sort their sh-it out out and start pulling together in one direction - and fast!

Slightly dangle it out there for a bite BT.

Firstly everything comes back to Garlick flood and the board

They appointed Dyche , in the main he has far exceeded expectations with a club like Burnley on a very tight budget - proven in results.
Hence if the manager says he needs funds - players they need to support him , if they’re having a panic attack at players that didn’t quite do it or cost us money , they’re in the wrong business( as you rightly say there is an odd player or two that flopped but in the scheme of things across 8 Years of Dyche tenure in football terms I don’t call it a bad result.

Rigg was appointed by them , they hired him to find players - let me re phrase that they hired him to find targets who are ultimately competitive acquisitions that fit Dyche s model - if they didn’t hire him for that they failed as we don’t have a massive cheque book for players and we never did have.

So from my perspective whilst I accept they’ve kept the club run professionally we are at the point where its make or break, You mention players that simply make up numbers , Brady ( crocked has been for 2 years now and be honest doesn’t look like even getting back to where he was a reasonable player.
JBG - crocked most of the time in and out of the team can’t seem to sort himself out - I’d take Hendrick back knowing he’ll play more than not .

So I get your post to a point , but as I say the board are really walking on egg shells imo anyway , the clubs success - demise is at risk and members of the board are giving interviews to the press , undermining the manager in my view anyway - I can’t imagine Dyche was overly impressed with those comments.

I’d like to support the board as well but I think on this occasion they’re letting Dyche and the fans down - the saying is put up or shut up, hence why I say they are not supporting the man and if they don’t want to do it lets someone who does have a go.

In reply army88, Flood's recent comments are redolent of the man and are not at all helpful.

Garlick needs to address the fans and media and disclaim or indeed prove the Dyche disconnect and/or takeover rumours to be true, but PR is not his forte.

I have never really grasped whether he is bad at Public Relations or simply does not give a flying phuck about what we Clarets fans think; sadly, I believe it is the latter.
