Apparently Celtic's Ryan Christie is the next player we're not going to sign.

Pace has talked about his transfer paradigm for the club and there is not one single word or mention of "big money signings".
Likely scenario: Pope sold, Heaton in on a free, Tarkowski gone to the highest bidder, Worrell in to replace him, McNeil gone to the highest bidder, promote one of the kids to replace him and make Stephens the new captain.
Sound about right chaps?
I love the fact that, in many fans' eyes, Mike Garlick and the Board could do no right and were always being criticised for being tight fisted etc., etc.
Obviously, they decide that they have had enough and decide to get out and leave it to others. They all take their money, which is fair enough, and the club is now under the countrol of new owners who have passed the 'fit and proper' test which the PL insists that they must.
Now all I am seeing is fans moaning about whether or not money will be made available, are this Board going to invest, is Sean Dyche still going to be manager etc., etc.
It's football, folks, and they make their own rules as they go along. One thing is sure and that is the fact that, at the top level, the fans are the last consideration in any decision making.
Nothing changes and quite a number of Burnley fans will continue to have a good moan, as they have done in the past 70 years, and it won't make a blind bit of difference. Life still goes on.
It’s true Sub what you say , I think the real issue is that Garlick said for years I’m a fan and I care about the club and we won’t just make rash moves for big money investors to come in and rape the club - when in effect that’s exactly what he did and used the clubs funds to pay him off ( business is business I know , but we’re honest folk at Burnley and one thing we don’t like is a snake - and in a lot of peoples eyes that’s what him and the others are).
Imo anyway he should have kept his mouth shut about how he loved the club if he didn’t want criticism when he sold it down the river.
I’ve a feeling them all going was the deal or no deal so to speak , the board will always get criticism at any club because you can’t please everyone, it’s a fine balance trying to keep Burnley competitive in the richest league in the world .
However they sold to Americans who seem to have less interest in new players than Garlick and co, the man that really cares.
Pace has just bought two absolutely brand new (and expensive) spiffing properties, one for his family and one for a bolthole for the US based executives when they are in attendance here in sunny Lancashire.
I'm fairly ambivalent in my opinions on this ALK crew, but they do appear to be setting the stall out for the long run. My question to them is, "Why bother?"
