First Wazzock 902 Posted June 25, 2022 This to me just demonstrates that when you appoint a new manager now days, their contacts and ability to be able to pull in talent on loan, is every bit as important as to how 'good' a manager they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,287 Posted July 1, 2022 Seems Kompany's Burnley no longer has a category one academy: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/webcontent/expert-burnley-now-have-huge-financial-burden-as-legal-appeal-on-the-cards/wc-FB28043BE19C9B6C2EFCDEAE54B63DEB?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=17ab8451185c417ab3ca4f347b3f3228 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,389 Posted July 1, 2022 Hmmm, meanwhile lil' ole Norwich carry on managing their academy without an issue. Burnley can go **** themselves as far as I am concerned, no sympathy given all the cash they have had from EPL over the years, yet another sign of over-indulgence in the running of football teams thinking of the here and now rather than the long term. If they win their appeal though, rather like with Carrie Symonds, one starts to wonder what sort of favours they are giving that we aren't? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not if you have a sporting director. I doubt Farke was well connected when he joined but we got good loanees from Man City, Spurs and Southampton over the years.

I think that’s a bit unfair on Burnley-it was widely acknowledged that they have been a very well run club for years, no external debt and plenty of money in the bank. The football may not have been to everyone’s liking but they have ploughed their own furrow, much like we have tried to do. It’s only gone wrong since the takeover.
