With Weeds getting themselves out of the mire managerless Burnley get relegated I’m just musing what ‘may’ happen with our former manager who was linked with them? I guess it’s watch this space btw I’m not ITK
 



Burnley won’t have a pot to piss in with Mcabes american friends hoovering their tv money.

I was thinking Leeds would be as weak as Burnley next season, but Leeds would at least get a whacking great fee for Kalvin Phillips.

As enjoyable as it would’ve been to see Leeds drop today, we’re more likely to be promoted next season as a result of this.

I’d say the same for the play off final next week, it’d be lovely to watch it go tits up for forest but they’ll be a force next season if they don’t go up.
 
I have no truck with "plucky Burnley". They have consistently wasted time and bored their way to goals from free kicks, corners and long thows. For six years in the Premiership they have an ageing team, Cornet their new strike has a relegation release clause. They will have to use parachute payments to clear the debt their new owners put them in. Good chance they will sale down the Leagues
 
Tbh, I was genuinely worried when Newcastle looked like dropping, would’ve made a mockery of the league next season with everyone knowing there were only 2 spots up for grabs from day 1.
 
Don't Burnley have a loan of 65m to settle within the year and then the usual close to 40m to raise after relegation?

Good luck with that!

Short term pain seeing Leeds be slightly less shit but long term gain as Burnley are in trouble now. Tarkowski leaves, Pope will be off then whoever else to raise funds.

Not going to get a Shaun Dyche either as they just binned him!
 
We have a better chance with Leeds staying up. Sunderland coming up is a bit of a blow purely on the size of the club and knowing they’ll not settle for just staying up.

Problem for us is the team/squad we finished the season with will probably be nothing like the one we start next season with.

Sunderland? They shithoused their way past those jokers from across the city. Don’t let their big crowds blind you to the toilet football they played most of the tie.

An upcoming league one team of Duffys, flecks and JO’Cs they most certainly aren’t.
 
Burnley the new Blackburn and Wigan hopefully. If Dyche was still there theyd have had a decent chance of coming straight back up now I dont think they have any chance.
 
Watford: Unpredictable and inexperienced coach. Anything can happen there, expect a few to leave too

Norwich: No Buendia this time and sounds like fans have had enough with Webber, Pukki good enough to get them top 6 at least however if he stays. Can't see they dominating as they have done in past

Burnley: Looks like they gambled on staying up and it might backfire on them. Aging squad and expect the quality (Cornet, Tarkowski, Pope) they have to go. Loan situation doesn't look good too.

Will have to see what happens in the summer with us, as nobody knows what we will look like come August but this is the weakest three to come down for a while I think.

The loan is a different question, but one does not need to "raise" 40 million after relegation if you run your club competently
 
Burnley are screwed. The players EPL teams may want are all old. Might get a move, won't get a big fee. Can't justify keeping them because they've mostly been there for years.

Watford have quite a lot of saleable assets.

Norwich less so, but have quite a few young players around.

Hmm, not sure about that. I don't think we'll see, nor do we need, wholesale changes.

An unavoidable departure in MGW, difficult but necessary decisions to not extend some contracts, other loan deals ending and reducing the wage bill.

We aren't under pressure to sell on the cheap to balance the books. We're healthy in that regard and while we might see the odd departure of a player we would like to keep, that's life and at least we'll get good value if anyone goes.

Many other clubs have no choice to make difficult financial decisions having overspent and, as an example, Burnley's out of contract list is scary. They're losing most of their valuable players for nothing and don't have the funds to replace them with any quality.
