Burnley - along with Hull & Celtic - being linked with £1.5 million move for Oliver Norwood. Norwood actually supports Burnley for his sins.:) Edit: Oops! sorry posted before I saw earlier posting.

Andre Gray £6 million (possibly rising to a maximum of £9 million with add-ons for appearances, goals, promotion, PL survival and full England honours). We might go close to breaking this record, but would not put money on it - probably 3/4 signings of about £4/5 million each this window.

I don't blame Colin in the slightest for turning you down - it was a miracle he kept you up. Maybe he wanted more money than the chairman was offering?

Newcastle champions but Di Matteo/Clarke combo gives Villa a decent chance of challenging Norwich for the second automatic spot.:)

Coyle is a two-faced charlatan....somebody said he has "more faces than a town hall clock".:) Could have been worse for Blackburn....at least Brian Laws did not get the job.

Rotherham should have kept Warnock.....think Stubbs will struggle.

I'd be amazed if Rowett left Birmingham for Reading....if he stays at Birmingham, he will get head-hunted for a bigger job (ie....top 10 Championship team or even maybe Burnley when Dyche leaves). I'd love it if Coyle goes to Blackburn....he threw away his chance at Burnley because Bolton were...

Sounds like Pearson was hoping for the Villa job until he learned that it was almost certain to go to Di Matteo. Villa & Derby could well be battling for 2nd spot behind Newcastle next season.

Burnley will probably have a few cut-price bargains after getting promoted - for starters, I cannot see striker Lukas Jutkiewicz, winger Michael Kightly, central defender Kevin Long or left-back Danny Lafferty getting much (if ANY) game time. Although a Dyche favourite, Scott Arfield might also...

Hull are Premier League so it's no contest until they come back down again or another Yorkshire side gets promotion (unlikely in the near future).

Pearson has proved he can win the Championship but he will still be hard-pushed to get a top two place next season with Newcastle and Norwich my favourites for the automatics (maybe Villa will get their act together as well). I've read that because of FFP, Mel Morris will NOT be able to give...

Midweek "Game of the Week"......In-form Royals versus "star-studded Rams. 2-2.

Everyone said Burnley would fade 2 years ago because of their "wafer-thin squad lacking depth" and "shoestring budget" but they managed to avoid serious injuries until around 30 games had gone (both Ings and Vokes then got hurt) and managed to finish on 93 points for 2nd place. There is NO...

Burnley have 8 (EIGHT) strikers but NO central midfield to set up chances - so it will be Bristol something, Burnley NIL.

Surprised so many have Burnley to finish in top three..........I think somewhere between 5th and 12th is more realistic.

Whoever wins the Derby v Boro game will be top after 5 games. A draw will probably allow someone else be top. But it's a marathon not a sprint........two years ago QPR had 26 points from the first 10 matches but finished FOURTH.

Steve Davies was playing for Bradford at Turf Moor today - could that be the real reason why Shackell left Burnley?:sur:

Burnley 2 Bradford City 0......Jutkiewicz and Matt Taylor.

You must be a bit naive if you think Burnley's players live in the town centre itself. I used to live in Sutton Coldfield - 8 miles north of Brum - and played a lot of cricket against teams in the Wolverhampton area and Black Country - very grim and bleak areas apart from a couple of exceptions...

We'll probably start the season fairly slowly this time around before the new signings like Vossen and Chris Long settle in properly. We don't usually do well at Leeds or Ipswich who we face in the first 5 games while Birmingham have a an excellent recent record at Turf Moor. Given that 3 of our...
