How on earth have they got to a stage where Tarkowski and Mee both leave on frees?
We thought we were bad under Evans. But a Premier League team losing two of it's better players for nothing!
On top of the new ownership, sacking of Dyche and so on, they just look like they'll be a certainty for absolute freefall.
They have a raft of players that might for for £25m, £15m, £5m all just leave at once! Scary to think how many millions in transfer fees they've lost when they should have been tied down last year or moved on.
Shame on many counts. Been such a well run club and we need as many clubs as possible to challenge that lot and keep them from bouncing back first time.

They turned down about £35million from West Ham the other year didn’t they? For Tarkowski that is. |  |

Their takeover was a leveraged buyout, essentially the club were mortgaged against future income. So, outside the Premier League they are struggling.
All or nothing on getting back up in Year 1 I suspect. |  |

Something like that. Just seems incredible that their two main centre halves (61 games between them this season) were both out of contract, neither renewed, neither moved on last summer or January and they've got nothing!
Even if they'd stayed up and both walked they'd have to find how many million to replace them with the same quality! | | | |

It should never have been allowed to happen. The story of the takeover is here.

It was written in Feb 21. And they’ve now been relegated. The club has gone from solvent with millions in the bank to bust in 15 months. It’s disgraceful that old historic football clubs like Burnley can be so easily bought by chancers from goodness knows where. |  | | |

Tbh I see Burnley as being in a similar position to us several years ago. We literally gave away two squads of decent players for next to nothing to balance the books . Holland went for something like £300k when his market value at that time was £4m, Stewart went to Sunderland at the 12th hour for £1m when he was worth double figures . Bowman told me the club were with hours of closure had we not done money in to pay the tax man . The rest is history . The sad thing is that was 20 years ago and clubs are still not learning that if they play the Pimp sky tune at some point it’ll end in a Derby County or worse . |  |

To be fair, Holland rejected a move to Villa in the summer, and Herman the same to West Brom. It's almost like suffolk is a nicer place to live than the West Midlands.
For Burnley their relegation means a large chunk of their debt is now payable, offset by parachute payments but at the detriment of not using that money to buy new players. |  |

It's why we need to get back in the Championship asap. It's much weaker financially, only a few teams have parachute payments so if we can get a bit of momentum there's every chance of sneaking into the top 6.
Luton, Huddersfield last season, Barnsley the year before Let's see how Sunderland do next year. | |

Sadly makes Nodges path back easier. I'm sure they will wave to Fulham as they change places again |  | | |

They will be in league 1 within 2 years. That takeover was probably one of, if not the worse, takeovers in football history. |  | | |

We’ve been purchased by investors from the US. Who knows what might happen in the future. | | | |

Yes, of course it could happen to us. But I don’t think our owners did it the same way as Burnley’s. Please correct me if I am wrong | | | |

They’ve got to pay back £65m this summer haven’t they? |  | | |

So I gather, yes. The deal done was great for the sellers, with relegation not so good for the buyers and catastrophic for Burnley. | | | |

Didn’t George Burley hint, after we had gone into Administration, that had he been aware how precarious the situation was he would have persuaded players to leave. Presumably he was referring to Marty and HH. |  |
