Nah it's a little low at times because he plays forward, progressive passes that can carve chances, not constant safety first sideways passes like most midfielders.

So Preston in a similar loss making situation... Just the Hemmings family covering it like Venkys did (pre overdraft) for us. I did a bit of research just now and while on a smaller scale Preston are very similar to us in model with owners supplying cash to make them viable. Basically in the Championship it seems pretty universally you need an owner to put £10M+ a year to keep the club solvent (unless you have player sales or parachute payments), theres not a single club in the Championship in recent years (maybe except Brentford 10 years back) who have managed to get by over a 5 year period without massive cash support. Really want to get rid of Venkys but how do we find owners who will write off tens of millions? Is there any club we could look to as an example on how to cut the dependency on (potentially crazy) owners? It looks pretty bleak. Personally Id take relegation to have a go without Venkys, but its very troubling to see losing £10M per season is the norm in the Championship, and i wonder how we can get stability in that environment.

Fans haven't been as harsh on anybody sine though. -
I remember they got in a little huff when I pointed that out to them last year. It was pretty funny.

Intent doesn’t come into it. If a player is tripped it’s a foul

His passing accuracy needs to improve

I was hoping our long time Burnley contributors would come on at some point and give us the lowdown on this seasons going on at Turf Moor. They were on here more than I was last season, almost on a daily basis. What can possibly have gone wrong ? -

My first impression on seeing the highlights was it wasn’t worth a red card. He was too far out from goal and the cover was coming across. Having said that there will an incident exactly like that somewhere this weekend at it will be a red card. - Today

Slot's tactics are slower than Klopp. He doesn't want to press high from minute 1. They are playing less long balls than last season and want to the ball more at the back. Missing Trent at right back cos Frimpony hasn't been fit enough. Maybe he needs to play Isak and Etketie together up front. Writz just off them.

Questions from the public 😂 I think it will be Rudy interviewing him about his playing days, the project and how important it is to look for value in transfers… Possibly round off by pulling out a list of his favourite cheeses before singing ”can’t touch this” when GM removes his disguise and asks if he is worried about being unpopular having taken us into the bottom 3… -

If he pays £35 they won’t care VI will refuse to answer questions he doesn’t have the pre written venkys script for -
From an account called 'Peter of Preston'. Go figure. Almost certainly a WUM account and a supporter of the most boring club in England. A club more famous for a spud van sponsorship than actual football. As much as there are Venky sympathisers in our fanbase, I'm yet to see or hear any of them suggest they should have a statue outside Ewood. That's too far, even for them. The rest of that quote is along the lines of what the lost and the bots come out with quite often, though.

Could be a touch of the dad's army sketch here with the German officer puts any ones name in the book for future reference who asks a difficult question. You may have to submit all your details before you get to ask a question. Black listed supporters refused entry. Any of the above is possible these days. -

A goal scoring opportunity is a bit of a grey area, technically anywhere on the pitch is a goalscoring opportunity. he never had the ball under control , when he went down it was bouncing above his head. an argument that as he was so far out and ball still had to be controlled it gave Davies more than enough time to get back plus the Ipswich player has in no way deliberately tripped him, it was a tangle of legs, I for one would be annoyed if it were the other way around, otherwise the suggestion is if you don’t want sent off you stop trying to get back, not a situation I want to see in the game. it’s at best a 50/50, either way the ref called it there is an argument for, it’s annoying me that some folk are so adamant that it’s a certain red. It most certainly is not -
Their wages were 22 million and it just says other expenses 6.4 million. They lost 14.3 million. Bolton's for 23/24 were interesting. They don't detail the revenue the same so i couldn't see their matchday ticket revenue but their food and beverage revenue alone was 2.84 million. Their revenue in total was 21.9 million but they wouldn't have got nearly as much tv money. Think it is or was about 2 million.

The club was losing money before the Walker family sold the club, and was the main reason for selling. The Venkys should have a statue outside the ground. The supporters have now benefited by £212 million pounds. And the club is still losing money. This endless harping about Venkys ruining the club is ridiculous. Look at Sheffield Wednesday if you want to look at the ruinious ownership of a club. Blackburn Rovers, with gates as they are, is unsaleable at any price. No one would be daft enough to take it on. And there are more, that was just one of the more demented posts
