I believe the context of the post was in the vein of be careful of what you wish for with new owners. Wasn't quite the death knell for Burnley that some expected it to be.

Wasn't quite the death knell for Burnley that some expected it to be. Well, it got them relegated!* Burnley had a net transfer income of £50 million over the summer, whilst we spent £12 million net. Shows that they had to sell to balance the books, whilst we were "ambitious." So given our relative positions, I suppose that we'd have to agree that we are suffering because the board were too ambitious! 😏 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-burnley/transfers/verein/1132 * If we are working on the dubious assumption that it is owners that are the sole determinant of a club's success.

Must be a new record. 😂🤣 How’s that record coming along ? 14 pts clear of third place ? Edited January 3, 2023 by Graham Paddons Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a stupid post - the point I was making - and it's totally obvious - is that NO TEAM is ever promoted after 16 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
