English Premier League 🦁

Burnley are a waste of time and space. Can't stand their recent yoyoing
 
like your reading their fan forums haha

Burnley fans

Andy: The word for our display was insipid. All season long, there has been no block, poor decisions and no - or little - desire to play and win. There is no fight - they are almost like mercenaries. We don't learn from our mistakes, nor does Scott Parker, and definitely not our useless owners. We are doomed and I think the yo-yo years are over - unless something drastic occurs, it's League One and beyond. After 67 years of support I'm so depressed, thanks to this pathetic display.

Transfer window verdict: how every Premier League club fared

Will Arsenal regret Nwaneri move? Have Sunderland traded brilliantly again? We run the rule over every team’s business

JS96 boggling to me talking Burnley that Hammers loaned Ward Prowse to them - I mean he was kicking goals at general play and set pieces for the Saints bigtime and got selected for the 3Lions - talk about backwards.
Spurs have picked up Conor Gallagher, should inspire their midfield, young Johnson been sold to Palace.

It bugs me how players move to a club like Burnley now when they're probably going down. Of course teams should battle to survive but the Burnley way makes them too good for The Championship but still too dumb for the EPL.

That's right and then there are players at Boro being enticed by those who could go down. Managers included!

Hackney would be wise to wait it out.

its all about $'s or game time - I agree some decisions you wonder, if I was on the pines and have a chance elsewhere to be in starting line up you'd go for eg.....

Re Black Kats, couple of big league games back to back, the arse away that I expect loss whereas following week host us that they would have a 50/50 chance :(.
Following 4 games they could rack those points up.

Burnley's problem is that they buy players to get promotion from the Championship, and give them 3-4 year contracts, and they loan players in with purchase clauses connected to promotion, meaning more 3-4 year contracts for Championship rather than Premiership players... Which means that every time they get promoted they are committed to spending most of their budget on retaining a top championship squad rather than buying a Premiership squad. They got 30 mill for Trafford, and spent the lot retaining Anthony, Edwards, Flemming and Humphreys. This is the curse of the yo-yo club, you have to be sharp (and lucky) to break it.

It's been very interesting this season to watch Southampton and Leicester both struggling to use their parachute money effectively, and to see Sheff Utd fall apart trying something different. The door is open to the likes of Coventry, Boro and Hull to give Ipswich a real battle. There will be fresh clubs in the Prem next season. Hopefully joining Leeds as well as my lads, a bit of change is what the Prem needed.

It'll be refreshing having some newish clubs go up again. Just got tired in Burnley, Leicester and Southampton grossly underperforming.
 
Ben - that rcycle and rinse been going on forever for those type of Clubs.
The owners (some) I suspect are happy as such - sideline passion investment of their portfolio - if they really wanted to invest they could but they don't - and how their model works.
I think the poor ol Fox's was destined after the surprising win - the passing of the Father/investor really changed I expect the boardroom mojo.

JS Burnely isn't admired much for its hardly played any decent attacking football - its park the bus and counter here and there - Dyche has a ordinary ol skool personality and their game was it - Parker just doesn't have a clue - playing survivor.

I liked the Burnley way under Dyche when they finished higher up the table. They were competitive at least. What I don't like now is how stifled their apparent good attackers are and their leaky defence.

I think, or more likely fear with our current squad, which is an ex exceptionally decent Championship level group of players that we'll be 'meat and drink' for most of the established Premier League clubs....

We're going to have to bring in at least 6 Premier League level or Premier League ready players and hope they gel quickly which is a big ask....

You're looking at a net spend of perhaps £120m which is a massive gamble.

It can be done of course. Look at Sunderland who's recruitment last off-season was brilliant.

Again though Dyche was winning from defense and rightly so with what you have.
He used what he had well.
As for Parker and give him credit what he had done but EPL is above his level.
