Burnley Thread - 2021/22

I won’t miss them, apart from the guaranteed six points a season.

I‘ve never had the misfortune to visit Burnley, but I imagine it’s probably run down, shit and populated by fat racists. Does it have any positives?

They are in proper shit

Will have to deal their best players and even that won't be enough to cover the £65M debt.

Sunderland MKII

This correct. Will be interesting to see how they cope financially. Why did the prem not introduce a rule outlawing leveraged buy outs?

Just highlights all these new rules and regulations arent to protect football, theyre to protect the cartel. The rest of the fodder can get fucked.
dirty oil money cant pump investment in to a club but white owner can mortgage the club to the hilt to get a payday.

The US owners love leveraged buyouts. They would never risk their own money or think about investing in the local community. This is the business model which the PL apparently loves. Apparently investing in your product and your local community with your own money is a bad idea. In every other business this is called inward investment and is seen as something to encourage.
But in the strange and corrupt world of football regulation it's perfectly fine to be based in a tax haven like the Cayman Islands so no one can scrutinise your accounts properly. It's even better if you can avoid paying any local taxes and it's great if you run up huge debts without risking any of your own money. This is how Manchester United have operated with impunity for years. They claim their money is "organic growth" not like "dirty oil money." In fact it's the total opposite of organic growth because their whole operation is underpinned by a mountain of debt owed to overseas banks which will never be paid off.

The Premier and Football League big wigs are a disgrace to the game they run. To allow this kind of yank takeover is wrong, but what do they care

Very few positives. Some quirks though:
95% of all Benedictine produced is drunk in Burnley. The local habit is to buy a pint and a “bene“ chaser. The habit was brought back by soldiers posted near that drink’s place of manufacture in WW1.
It had a run down, not to say dilapidated shopping centre built by our old friend Ken Bates, who pissed off before it was finished leaving associated debts behind.
The club used to boast the highest attendances per capita of its population. Many of them came from the Craven area of Yorkshire: Keighley, Skipton and a host of smaller settlements. Burnley was the nearest 1st Div club to Craven as nothing in Yorks fitted the bill and a single bus took people through the Pennine gap to Burnley.
