Premier League season 21/22

[Tom]

Could backfire though, Cornet has been a great addition, potentially gives Dyche another chance to bring a game changer in

An interesting signing. 

Newcastle get a 1 goal in 3 game top flight striker who can lead the line and cause a bit of of bother. 

Or they paid £20m in an attempt to secure Burnley's relegation. 

I don't know if the signing will make Newcastle better, or even make Burnley worse. It's hard to tell.

Awesome news Wood leaving the Dungles 😂👍 bye bye Premier league hello chumpionship, smart move by Howe.

Wood has been a big part of Dyche's plan in PL. 

Not sure how much he will get of the money. Or they plan signings for the Championship 

[AllRoverAsia]

The only way we will not play Burnley next season is if we get promoted.

Dingles are doomed.

They could buy Wood  to play in the reserves just to get him away from Burnley. I reckon the Dingles did well to get their money back, to get a bit more is a good result.

[islander200]

Its now being reported that the fee is £25 million.£20 million clause doesnt come into play until the summer and the fella on sky reckons its £25 million.

Would be lovely to see both Burnley and Newcastle go down

He's done well for them in the past but most managers have a shelf life and there has to be a limit surely? 

One win by January doesn't cut it. There seems to be a suggestion in that thread  that Dyche has allowed the squad to become old and past it and that his tactics are now outdated by PL standards.

Looking in from the outside it would seem to be at least equally the fault of the previous owners for failing to give Dyche sensible financial backing. 

I'd be interested to know what my old mate Chris (Longsiders) thinks.

Feel sorry for Dyche, excellent manager who's done a fine job at Burnley and who I'd welcome at Ewood if he gets fed up at the Turf. 

Expand  

I've no issue with Dyche at all and wouldn't want him to go, even if we go down. He needs board backing now - only then if he fails can his position be in question for me. But even that is too little to late, he hasn't been backed properly in 3/4 years and we are reaping our "rewards" for this.

Key players coming out of contract in summer. Plunged into £90m of debt overnight with their healthy £55m in the bank completely wiped out. Owned by a set of owners who stumped up just £15m of their own money to buy the club, making up the rest with borrowed money and a leverage, with a side of utter corporate bullshit talk to keep the supporters onside (time will call Pace out on the latter and, in fact, the former). Relegation looking increasingly likely. Take your pick, and that's not even taking into consideration any on-the-pitch matters.

Don't think Dyche would walk away from three years' worth of Premier League management wages unless he had another lucrative contract to walk into.

Expand  

Debt is only a problem if you can't afford it - and right now we can, easily. Relegated and it undountedly becomes a problem. Agree its been a mistake of the previous owners to allow the squad to age and contracts run out but Mee and Tarky aside none of them are that great - but it makes for a big rebuild regardless of relegation. Actually it might clear out a few big contracts if we do go do. Not sure if your mate goes on the games much but most people I know are behind the team, manager and new board SO FAR!

Made me laugh that - everyone a "Burnley reject" 

(to be clear, I'm say reject for comedic impact, I rate Trippier highly and Wood still has a lot to offer)

I will be sorry when she does.

Selling your main striker mid season never ends well. 

A Rovers fan of my years knows that to their cost and we may just do that madness again quite soon.

Did Kane ever sign a new deal? Or can he walk for free at the end of the season? (Maybe I imagined that?)

Ah, cheers. For some reason I thought he was in his last year. 

Dunno why.

Everton's fans voiced their opinions on Benitez and his future. They want him. 

I think they need someone who will ignite the fans passion and belief, in my opinion that man is Wayne Rooney. Doing very well at Derby despite all the trouble there 

[roversfan99]

Appointments shouldn't be made for sentimental reasons.

If Rooney was to be appointed, it should be purely on merit based on his management at Derby, which is impressive but perhaps not enough evidence, not because of who he is.

Everton fans and players need a spark from someone. 

They have spent loads of money under this owners but no better off IMO. I do wonder what his plan is and would he make another change

[speeeeeeedie]

Spurs-Arsenal called off tomorrow due to injuries, more injuries, Covid, and AFCON absentees affecting Arsenal

Apparently they can do it as Covid is one of the reasons.

The best spark is the best manager possible getting the best results possible because winning football matches provides the biggest and longest lasting "spark."

a good appointment and someone who the fans can get behind can create that spark from day 1. Benitez hasn't and can't cos of his Liverpool connects there

The main reason consciously or otherwise is because their results this season have been dismal. Had they done really well they wouldnt care about the Liverpool connections.
