March 31, 201610 yr According to BBC Sport they are 102 million in debt Lambert asking questions of the board sounds familiar.oh and Burnley make a 30 Million profit.
March 31, 201610 yr Blackburn will be going down the same route as us soon enough, there's no doubt about that. Burnley making a £30M profit is incredibly impressive - especially as that was from a turnover of under £80M
March 31, 201610 yr Well done Burnley - unfortunately in football you can use up 30mill with another 6 months in the wrong league not a dog at them they'll go up and bank a shotload more credit just the farce that is football
March 31, 201610 yr Burnley might sort out that hovel of a ground with another 3 promotions. Shame it's happening to late at Blackburn to be dragging them down with us.
March 31, 201610 yr Shame it's happening to late at Blackburn to be dragging them down with us. Do the Blackburn fans still hate The Venkys, or are they OK with them now? - I've lost where they are with it all. I can see Villa being in the shit in a year or two if they don't go straight back up as well. I'm also hoping/expecting QPR to be massively in the shit shortly as well
March 31, 201610 yr I work with a few Blackburn fans and they've gone very easy on me these last few months Mainly cos they know they're not far behind us
March 31, 201610 yr The Blackburn fans at our place are the same. They hate the Venky's and reckon it's only a matter of time before they go tits up in some way.
March 31, 201610 yr Without venkys they'd probably have hit the rocks sooner, though Not read the article but I'm guessing the debt is mostly to venkys They'd better hope their owners are as big a set of cunts as Eddie
April 1, 201610 yr Blackburn will be going down the same route as us soon enough, there's no doubt about that. Burnley making a £30M profit is incredibly impressive - especially as that was from a turnover of under £80M Probably another £8-10 million due from Danny Ings when the tribunal sets a fee too, which makes it even more impressive..........the cunts
April 1, 201610 yr I've had Roverrrsss fans taking the piss - as long as we're not selling car parks to stay in business I'm happy etc. Well bollocks to them, they will be selling everything to keep afloat when venkys have had enough in the next year or 2. I also hope Boro stay down too because them going up could be worth another £2m in the Rhodes deal
April 1, 201610 yr let's say Barton is on 20k a week. Which is just over £1m a year basic. Which is 1/80 of the turnover. Gone on one single player. And they still made £30m profit? Heaton, Matty Taylor, Jones and vokes must be on some cheap wages then... Edited April 1, 201610 yr by Eavesy
April 1, 201610 yr Burnley might sort out that hovel of a ground with another 3 promotions.According to the lads at work they have no intention of tarting the ground up which I find hard to believe. Take the money and run, they are sorted for years.

Heaton, Matty Taylor, Jones and vokes must be on some cheap wages then... That's what I don't get How much did they pay for Gray - £6m We were saying "how are we supposed to compete if they buy a striker for that?" Yet then we laud them for running at a profit from a modest turnover They on big parachute payments? I can't remember However, it cannot be sustainable. It if it is, we fucked yo even more spectacularly than we thought Edited April 1, 201610 yr by jules_darby
April 1, 201610 yr They think their manager is going to walk.lambert wants them to spend big in the summer to have a crack at promotion, should be interesting when he meets the venkys to discuss that one. They have probably the cheapest tickets around but their crowds are shit don't be fooled by Saturdays attendance against Preston, the nob enders have sold 7000 tickets!!!
April 1, 201610 yr I would like Burnley's striker scout - they've sold on some good ones at a good profit over the years. Compare our transfer policy to theirs and it's no surprise they are in the black. With Blackburn, they are in a far worse position than we ever were. Their debt is to a bunch of Indians, ours to a fan that had always said it would be written off. When the venkys walk away, they will want their money back. I work in blackburn and the majority of rovers fans didn't want us to get relegated, never mind go bankrupt. They see the value of playing local teams and respect the tradition of football in the north west. Whilst I want to beat them every time we play, I wouldn't want to see them go bust. Same with Preston, burnley or Blackpool. Wigan on the other hand...

So much for local owners. Edited April 1, 201610 yr by Mounts Kipper
April 1, 201610 yr Burnley might sort out that hovel of a ground with another 3 promotions. Shame it's happening to late at Blackburn to be dragging them down with us. Training ground at Padiham being done up; just a collection of portacabins at the minute. They certainly seem to have the rosiest future of the Lancashire clubs, but we all know that can change.

It if it is, we fucked yo even more spectacularly than we thought It's from their Premier League season, so they had a full year of top flight income while spending the best part of fuck all on coming straight back down again. Gray's transfer fee and Barton's wages don't come into it. That said, you'd have to think the money for Ings and Trippier would more than cover both. Ings will have moved again before any money changes hands at this rate.
April 1, 201610 yr . Ings will have moved again before any money changes hands at this rate. I forgot he was at LIverpool, is he injured.....or just been bombed out because he's shit (like Boggers has been)
April 1, 201610 yr Training ground at Padiham being done up; just a collection of portacabins at the minute. They certainly seem to have the rosiest future of the Lancashire clubs, but we all know that can change. That training ground at gawthorpe is on national trust land and the cost to alter or improve is astronomical, that much so they have been looking at alternatives. When you compare it to lostock, it's tiny.
April 1, 201610 yr 4.6 million quid http://m.burnleyexpress.net/sport/burnley-fc/latest-news/clarets-training-ground-redevelopment-work-gets-underway-1-7600524
