    Cardy Parker

    Looked absolutely Plssed off today and I don't blame him as he watches the squad being decimated every day.. I wouldn't be surprised and I wouldn't blame him if he resigned after the way things have gone this last couple of weeks.. Surely he didn't sign up to all this..I wonder what Pace and ALK'S
    agenda is.. ?

    One things for sure,we won't be going anywhere this season unless things and attitudes change. Even though i dont attend games nowadays I still love my beloved Burnley and I hate to see the club I've supported and loved for nearly 70yrs being pulled to bits by a bunch of phookin Yanks.

    Sort it Pace or phook off out of Burnley. 🤨🤨

    One thing I can guarantee is that whatever ALK do is that they don't have the interest of BFC at heart, only the investors.

    They might be now thinking that this business venture is turning sour and they want out, and are now looking to get their money back at the deterement to the future of BFC

    Something is seriously amiss I think.

    Last week the Clarets media team claimed Berge could not play because of an injury, he’s now at Craven Cottage.

    This week the same media team claim Koleosho and Cullen were missing from the Sunderland game because of “small knocks”, then it was revealed Wolves want Koleosho. It now begs the question, “Who wants Cullen”?

    Berge gone. O'Shea gone. Odobert gone. Zaroury gone. Twine gone. Weghorst, Benson & now Koleosho rumoured to be exiting through the front door this week.

    Selling players on this scale is clearly unstainable in regard to keeping any promotion aspirations alive for this season. After yesterday's insipid performance, morale in the dressing room is obviously at an all-time low and judging by Cardy Parker's post-match reaction he is not very impressed either.

    I cannot believe we will sell Koleosho and/or Cullen given the current mass exodus of top-quality players from Turf Moor.

    I am usually amongst the most positive guys on Planet Earth and please forgive the most “Unlike me pessimism,” but I can really see us doing a Leeds and a Sunderland here this season. Both of those clubs demonstrated it is impossible to rip a team and squad apart and just hope for a miracle.

    At this moment relegation this season looks like a distinct possibility to me. Parker will have to stand up and lead from the front to sort out this mess.

    Completely get that BT thing is with what turned out yesterday the best will in the world you won’t make a team out of that - we offered nothing

    I felt for Foster - Egan Riley - roberts after that I’m not sure what to say - no creativity- no confidence- no tactic - no football - no plan d never mind A BC.

    I couldn’t watch the after chat from manager but they tell me he wasn’t happy

    My thing is in the above paragraph- what did he actually do or try to do to make it better - the u21 and or reserves must have watched that and thought I should be playing

    Regardless if Parker shows his emotions pitch side it doesn’t stop him picking the team and putting out what I can only describe as dross bar an odd one or two.

    He put Mcnally on as a striker in the last 10 mins FFS.

    The best spin I can put on that, is that he was sending a clear message to Mr Pace and his chums.

    Last summer left everyone perplexed. The owners backed VK to the tune of £100 million if reports are to be believed. How that was funded is not clear until the Financial Statements are available.

    One the comments on here was that VK had left a bloated, unbalanced squad.

    Comment has also been made that the club is facing financial ruin.

    So what are the owners meant to do? Borrow more money? Magic investors out of thin air?

    It is unsettling to know that Burnley is a “selling club” as evidenced by the recent sale of players. Estève mentioned in his post match interview that everyone is unsettled and wants to get through this next week. SP said, more or less, the same thing.

    With loss of income. The salaries of a bloated squad, the loan interest, what exactly are the owners supposed to do - take the club into administration? In my opinion, they are being realistic, as uncomfortable as that may be.

    We all want success. But are we really a Premier League club? Last season many, including me, preferred that we were winning matches in the Championship rather than defeats week in and week out, together with the VAR effect.

    Now we are in the Championship and owners are dealing with the financial implications, people are not happy.

    I agree Swiss.We are where we belong-the Championship.The fantasy of making unfashionable Burnley a “global club” was never going to happen.We are not Leeds,Southampton or Leicester who can just keep most of their best players and pump more money into the playing squad.ALK bought the club by borrowing against it.
    By my calculations we were betting everything on staying in the PL last season and therefore the £100m spent on players needed to be recouped.We have now done this and more so hopefully we should get some faces i to steady the ship and not face another relegation.That is the reality of where we are.

    Wolves may want Koleosho but if they can’t even find 15 million for O’Shea htf are they planning to buy Koleosho. I hope we don’t keep selling essential players because the effect on team morale and fans is simply disastrous. The Board are going to face a real sh*t storm so I trust Mr Pace is prepared for it.

    The fans are not happy because we haven’t got a team that can compete.
