I predict venkys will allow Mowbray 5m total inc wages. That was their pledged financial commitment per season when they bought the club and I can't see them going beyond that without income from a player sale.

  But they've put in over £20.5m in the last 14 months .....

Took you long enough to get back to me on that one. Were you waiting for your turn on the Bumley municipal interweb computer down at the town hall? 

  No, my friend.....anyway, they're at the Central Library not the Town Hall !!

  I see you're not arguing with the figures though ?  An effective subsidy to cover operating losses of £ 400, 000 p.w. on conservative estimates...

Promotion will make our club even less able to wash its own face. Player increases, competitive transfer fees. Venkys already picking up £2m deficit as a L1 club. That’s just grown.

It now comes down to their ambition. Do they want to see the club succeed or are they just looking to minimise losses? If it’s the latter, it’s going to be a tough old season.

" Venky's already picking up £ 2m deficit as a L1 club.. "  

I think you mean £ 20, 772, 156 , which is what they've issued by way of further shares in the 14 months since January 2017 ...

You think you've got problems with Tim Farron.....we've got Alastair Campbell, Bliar's apologist Press Secretary...

The questions could've been rather more entertaining if he'd specified " Blackburn Rovers 2010-17 " as his subject, and would've brought the Venky's tenure into focus on prime-time Television....

'Champions league football with 5 Million Investment'....that statement alone should have had the alarm bells ringing from here to Timbuktu.

'Sympathetic Claret'?....nahhhh.... your laughing your @#/? off at our demise and literally can't believe your luck we ended up with these clowns,all your dreams fulfilled.

Be honest now 

Despite the dog's abuse I took from roughly 1986 - 2012 ( ish ), from my Blue's supporting mates, the grown-up in me would prefer to see you lot get your Club back from these Clowns, have Rovers back in local hands and fighting back !! Burnley are incredibly fortunate to have the Board that we have, and financially, our recent success on the field could not have been better timed...

I've actually chipped in a couple of times to your various " fighting funds " ....I can't believe I'm actually admitting that, especially to someone with your User-name SG194 ! 

Is " Bob " still around ?? That forecast is spookily accurate !!

For those suggesting we will get turned over easily, think Lincoln or Accrington Stanley. Lincoln on their own patch prevented them getting into the quarter final, for the first time in my lifetime and I am 52. They will bottle this I reckon and embarrass themselves, yet again. COYB

I must correct you, Burnley have reached the quarter final twice in your lifetime ( 1982-83 & 2002-03 ) and the semi final once ( 1973-74 ,when we actually finished 3rd in the Cup, as there was a 3/4th place play off game that season )..

To cheer you up, we are though the only top-flight Club to lose twice at home to non-league opposition in the FA Cup, Lincoln last season and Wimbledon in 1974-75 ....
