Burnley and their bitter little fans

[bushcelt1]

Leighton james...big lump,massive tash-hard as nails that boy.

[bushcelt1]

Still a legendary coiffure, a giant of the comb over....... Thing is it can go either way with an investor with good intentions but zero football knowledge and iffy advisors. The bottom line is that despite the dosh we aren't all that. There's going to have to be another massive turn around in personnel if we do go up, its always been a merry go round down the bush.

Massive waste of money so far in all honesty-two years on.

What ever happened to Billy O'Rourke?

[Lord Charles]

After Burnley, moved to Chester and Tranmere.

Sadly he passed away following a brain haemorrhage in January 2002

Hughes = Free
Doyle = Loan
Maiga = Loan
Ashley Barnes to Burnley from Brighton = Undisclosed fee

So they spent more than us in this transfer window.

burnley could have gone 2-4 up, we would have been sunk
they ferked it up...we level and went back 2nd....mugs.
did green have a save to make? good game, 6 goals and qpr 6 unbeaten and all our spending power come to the fore.....goals from the new boys doyle and maiga show that

Delatorre?

I don't care how much they spent in the window, we've been flinging dosh around since TF came in but have not progressed in terms of league position. Burnley during that same time have spent SFA by comparison.

Look at what Southampton have achieved during that same time period. But they invested in the academy, and planned long term instead of throwing wedge at dubious journeymen. Three English youngsters banged in their three goals today. I'd willingly stay at this level for a while if it meant actually building a football team.

Osvaldo cost them 15 mil this summer and he has already been shipped out on loan.

Plus Keane and Dellatore, and what about wages?

Agree, except that TF's trying to plan short, medium and long-term all at the same time, whereas you only seem to be talking long-term. And unlike Southampton, we didn't have a training ground and academy in place when he arrived so he's had a lot of juggling to do. Plus he's held his hands and admitted to have learnt from his mistakes and naivety. You have to allow for the Austin injury happening so close to the close of the window too which obviously had a big bearing on the type and amount of players signed.

[Yousef]

Ask everyone of them: "If you had the money, wouldn't you buy your way out"?

[Nick]

What a load of b0ll0cks, Its part of the game. That's why there's transfer windows, to move player's on and to bring player's in.

Horrible bitter little people.

[vanhoop]

Sad little club burnley, they will struggle to hold onto the good players they have at the moment.even if they did go up no top player would want to live near a carsey like burnley.doing it the right way,as they say in a jealous manner has to be done this season for them.without backing,and coming from a carsey there's only one outcome

[Ginger Ninja]

Hate Burnley. Muggy little fans, muggy little club.

[stainrodisalegend]

bit harsh. burnley lost their best player in austin and replaced him with someone just as good for no money. team built on a shoe-string and not many would bet against them gaining promotion. if im being honest they have been much better managed than us and - if you take off your blue-tinted spectacles - deserve it more than us.

On what basis do they deserve it? We've currently got more points than them, so we deserve it more!

That's how promotion works. You're promoted by your points tally, not because you're better managed.
