I hope that Garlick and Banaszkiewicz, who have each made fortunes in this Yank sell out; (the club reportedly now £90M worse off and saddled with debt); looked up from counting their money to see the side and bench Dyche had to put out. When I saw it, I thought we would be lucky to get away with 0-5. Outclassed but never stopped.
PACE-”judge us by results and what we do” well I am waiting.
Garlick and Banaszkiewicz-Well I cannot comment on the financial aspects, as I am not qualified to-with my limited knowledge however it doesn't inspire me with confidence.
Bluntly, the team is too old,too slow,one dimensional and boring.
We need to begin casting a wider net and recruit some foreign talent.
Years of neglect,under investment; and some shockingly bad signings have brought us to this point.
Can anyone offer me a shred of optimism?
Brighton next, and at 5.00 PM this Saturday it's likely we will be back here again!

Welcome DownThePlughole66 (from where did that moniker originate?)
Sorry, we are all pretty much out of optimism on here.
I opened a "Relegation Thread" on here a couple of weeks ago, wins against Liverpool and Villa provided a brief flurry of hope, but now I think it's deep do-do time again.

Welcome Plughole.
You must have been reading my posts as I have been saying (nearly word for word) exactly the same for many many months.
Enjoy your time here if you decide to stick around

Welcome.
It's so downbeat on here that I think a lot of folk can't be bothered to post. The management at the very top has taken the enthusiasm away. 2 transfer windows and 1 signing, who is older and will not be a regular in any event. It's very dire and I do wonder where this club is going in the future. Life outside premier league financially is unthinkable and now we have a debt burden as well. Its just brilliant; how was this crap allowed to happen?!!!

Well first of all Dave, you have to look at the FA's fit and proper person test, having allowed this mugging of BFC to have been given the green light, but we all know The FA are NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE themselves.

I'm not nit picking here Alto, but it was the EPL who ran the rule over ALK and VSP.
I have no doubt whatsoever a bunch of Mormons would pass an individual "due diligence" test, but it's the levered buyout that is questionable.
ALK have effectively paid out Burnley Football Club's two major stakeholders with the club's own money. The South Sea Bubble of 1720 had nothing on this folly.

FA, EPL, FIFA, UEFA, IMF, TFL, BBC, PC, They are all corrupt and think more about their pockets and self esteem than bettering what they are charged to do, this world is one phucking mess and is only going to get worse.

When I understood the annual interest payments the club has to pay each year I was really deflated.
Fine if we stay in the Prem. But if this extra burden on our finances means that we can't invest enough in the team, then relegation isn't too far round the corner.
And how can we finance that debt in the Championship?
I am worried, but I hope that the ALK lot have a viable plan.
If it is based on assessing unknown players who send in a video of then training then we are doomed.
Like Mr Pace says, judge them by their actions. But up to now I can't say that I'm very impressed.
