Burnley are not in a good position financially even with the parachute money and they will probably have to sell players just to keep their heads above water. They won’t be running away with the league this year.

It does when you realise that the sole reason for the existence of the Prem is money. It makes perfect sense.

They will also have to repay a substantial chunk of a £65 million loan to the former owners
What happened to them? I read not so long ago that they were one of the most solvent clubs in Europe. I also think they were one of the richest clubs in Europe and without debt. This new lot of owners seem to be the opposite of the former owners, it makes you wonder how they and bods like Abramovich get around the fit and proper owners tests that the premier league set out
Not so sure Burnley players were on anything near what other clubs pay their mediocre squads.

True, but they have had several hundred million float into the club and they cant spend a few quid on there grass route kids
Abramovich- big fat brown envelopes full of £50 notes. Easy.What happened to them? I read not so long ago that they were one of the most solvent clubs in Europe.

I know. The amount of dough he must of laundered through that club is ridiculous. Obviously people in high places also benefitted from him being here. It's fucking sickening when the likes of Bury and Scarborough no longer exist because of a few thousand pounds of debt.
The Nigels were the fouth highest net spenders last season. 77 million spent and finished 12th, two places higher than the season before! Still don't get what is so great about being in the prem.

Burnley are not in a great state https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.th...nless-right-calls-are-made-in-critical-summer
Apparently, Vincent Kompany is about to take over as manager. He recently left Anderlecht "by mutual consent". He was there for 4 years and won nothing. To be fair, Anderlecht were in decline when he took over but he leaves with them a long way behind Club Brugge and Union.

I think Dyche got binned for something that happened outside of football. I reckon they were relegation fodder regardless, the football they played plus the quality of player they had wasn';t going to maintain premier status. Up and at them and hope for the best is a league one mentallity and style of football. When you look at how Brighton and Brentford play compared to Burnley it's clear to see that they're miles apart.

I never really paid it much attention , just looked at the headlines and just thought it looked like a panic sacking , and i dont understand a handful of ours saying we should bin rowett for dyche , especially after last season for whatever faults rowett may have i'd take him over dyche every time
