Dyche

[Vintage Claret]

Although I personally have never spoken with Flood, he does appear to be a loose canon and as such is a liability we could well do without. If there is definitely a rift between the manager and the board, his comments will only have stoked the fire.
As chairman and major shareholder Garlick must take the lead in sorting this mess out. I can see where the chairman may be concerned with recent transfer dealing such as Gibson, Hart and Wells not to mention loans such as Drinkwater / Bamford but to reduce the playing staff is a grave mistake.
While I have no problem with losing both Hart and Lennon, we should by now have replacements in place. I would have liked Hendrick to stay, but if he and club could not agree a new contract for whatever reason we should have lined up a replacement ready for the new season. It looks like we are going to gamble on using a threadbare squad and with Barnes, Cork and Mee already doubtful for our first premier league game that gamble is looking more than reckless.
At the end of the day the buck stops with Garlick.

"At the end of the day the buck stops with Garlick".

Indeed it does Vintage, but right now his return on investment in Burnley Football Club must be worth £100 million at least; I would have thought even a moderately successful businessman would be moving heaven and earth to keep it safe.

I don't know if he thinks all is good or not. We will soon see!

It is certainly speculative jounalism because none of us, including the press, know exactly what really goes on at the club.
The biggest laugh for me is saying that Ryan Fraser was a target. He literally downed tools at Bournemouth because he did not get a move in the January window and is now on a reported 100 grand per week at Newcastle. Telegraph reporting he was a missed target ---I don't think that anyone at the club would think so!

This is true enough Sub, Dyche runs a tight ship, Garlick says nowt, no outsider knows exactly what's going on on the inside at Turf Moor.

Nevertheless, the recent press statements from Dyche clearly indicate that he's not at all happy with the current situation. We have no idea exactly what's going on, but it's not just idle speculation to say that he is not a happy bunny and something's not right at the club.

Ex-grammar school pupils are renowned for making 2+2 = 5 sinkov.

Sadly a lot of them ended up as journos; Dyche is going nowhere, he's just about to receive his annual £2 million bonus for keeping us up last time round.

Another £2million in May plus his £1.5 million basic annual salary. Someone is having a laugh if they think Dyche is unhappy at Turf Moor.

I often make 2+2=5 BT, but I never worry, there's another ex-grammar school pupil on here, who's always on hand to put me back on the straight and narrow when I stray. You might get lucky and catch one AGS Old Boy out occasionally, but you've no chance against two of us.

Correct!! As usual.

Question

The agreement with Suning being cancelled for broadcasting rights in China,no spectators,all games with no spectators now televised.

How does all this affect our revenue?

Garlick may well be right in being very cautious at the moment,we weren't exactly making a fortune before the current problems.

I think that is pertinent barrie, Garlick is cautious by nature I assume, but look at Spurs - just agreed to take Bale on loan and pay him £250k a week!
