Fletcher backs Burnley to reach top-flight before Blackburn
8:17am Tuesday 4th December 2012 in Sport
By Suzanne Geldard, Burnley FC reporter
EX-CLARET Paul Fletcher has backed Burnley to return to the Premier League before Blackburn Rovers.
The former striker believes the Turf Moor outfit are now on a more stable footing than their bitter rivals, who he feels have been rocked since the takeover of Indian poultry giants Venky’s two years ago and will find it hard to recover from relegation last season.
Although the long-standing run without a win against Rovers continues, after Sam Vokes’ late header cancelled out Jordan Rhodes’ opener and earned a 1-1 draw for the Clarets, Fletcher feels it is only a matter of time before his old club get the upper hand with results too.
And in the long-term Fletcher feels that history will be repeated.
Over the years the Clarets and Rovers have traded places and divisions, and the 61-year-old expects that pattern to continue, with Burnley coming out on top for the first time since the early 1980s.
“I would think Burnley can get back into the Premier League before Blackburn Rovers,” he said.
“I think we are a better club in terms of structure, both of the club itself and of the team, and the management structure I think is better than Blackburn.
“Of course, I would say that wouldn’t I? But I really do believe it, and I think sooner or later it will be reflected in results as well.
“Sunday’s derby was nail-bitingly close. We’ve just got to keep nibbling away because we’ll probably have more opportunities to play against Blackburn Rovers over the coming years than has happened in recent history.
“In my day, in the 1970s, we were the stronger side that went into the top division, then that changed (in the 80s).
“Maybe it’s time for change again.”
But Fletcher admitted it was a long-term project.
“My view of Burnley is that it has never been a ‘get rich quick’ overnight situation. We put in long-term plans and I can see something that would be delivered,” he said.
“Blackburn Rovers have been in absolute chaos over the last few years and it’s hard to come out of that. A lot depends on whether the owners are wealthy enough or prepared to finance getting back into the Premier League.
“There are two ways of winning promotion from the Championship – buy your way out of scheme your way out.
“We have to scheme our way through because the club has never been prepared to go out and over-spend, or to have owners who are not fans of the club.
“If an injection of cash comes in there’s a chance of Blackburn doing better.
“I don’t think they will scheme their way out of the Championship with that team.
“They will have to buy their way out and I don’t know if Blackburn Rovers come under the title of ‘investor club’ with massive investments from foreign shores, or whether that’s all gone.”
In Sean Dyche, Fletcher believes Burnley have the manager to lead their charge.
“There is a positive vibe at the club,” he said. “The only thing Sean Dyche can do is win games.
“Everyone says he is a tough task-master and that’s what is needed in present day football, and that attitude seems to be coming through in their play.
“You have to fight your way out of the Championship, and Sean has made a great start.
“We aren’t conceding the amount of goals we were before he arrived.”

Blackburn Rovers Football Club. Sold to Indian Chicken Farmers (honestly I still can't get over that one), Malaysian TV pundit doing the hiring and firing. Steve Kean. Drink driving conviction. Fans revolting. Best players bailing out. Relegated in disgrace with a chicken on the pitch. Large debts. Poor support. Widely regarded as the laughing stock of English football.
It's easy to see why someone would back Burnley to reach the Premier League first.

B*st*rds are are disaster that's happened and with their so-called backers ('We're going to give you European football and here's £5M to do it' - ha!), you can only see them going from bad to worse.
The future will be well run clubs whose finances are on a sound footing with realistic manager who works hand in hand with a supportive and realistic board.
The future's good. The future's Claret!
We're in a mess, you still can't beat us and I predcit there will be a division between us because you'll be in league 1 before us!

Burnley are screwed financially now that Barry Kilby has left and as a result will sell Charlie Austin in January. After that they will plummet down the table. They'll be in League One in two seasons.
You'll never beat the Rovers!

Every dog has its day and you being dogs (rovers), are struggling to come to terms with it.
Problem for you lot is that all your expenditure was not reflected on the pitch but your status as a small, mid-table championship club from a scruffy town in damp Lancashire with moronic fans was, and is a reflection of the decisions made by a poorly run laughing stock of a football coup.
The bloke is simply saying that if things carry on as they are, then we are more likely to ride higher in the league than you. I agree.
Going on about winning the league years ago only serves to prove your desperate attempts to deflect attention from your status now. It is unbecoming and in poor taste. Ever tried discussing the points made in each article rather than keep copying and pasting the same boring comments over and over regardless of the subject, or is it beyond you to hold your own in a public discussion forum? The lack of variety demonstrates the small boundary within which many of you post.

So if we're a scruffy town - admiittedly not smashed up by our 'moronic' fans in damp lancashire, what does that make Burnley - an even scruffier town in Yorkshire with more moronic fans.....oh but you obvisouly only post within 'large boudaries' wibble.

Yes, Burnleys training facilities beat the hell out of Brockhall. Obviously the word renoun BRFC University give them a massive boost to the levels of Man United. The stadium at turf is far superior to the premier league staudium Ewood Park. Last year, as per normal, Burnley finished bottom half of the table against Rovers who generally finished mid prem pre-venkys, but surely that just goes to show how Burnley are winding up to become a better, well structured club than BRFC.
I think Burnleys biggest expenditure last year was hiring a plane to fly over Ewood. Some people live in utter dreamland. I can say categorically, Burnley FC will NEVER be as big as BRFC and by winning the worthington cup and the premier league, Blackburn will ALWAYS have acheived more than Burnley, fact.

The total lack of any sort of IQ in the Burnley region does astound me. He even ended the post with a quirky one liner "cluck cluck bore", nice, wish i was that clever. Guess ill just have to rip off everyone elses one-liner>

Oh the poor desperate Rovers fan where can they turn for solace? Their once proud club is now a laughing stock and the name Blackburn Rovers is synonymous with everthing that is wrong with foriegn ownership. Oh the halcyon days of Premiership football are fading fast over the horizon.

34 years they keep bleating, the mantra that offers some comfort to their battered egos!

What only the most blinkered and bigotted Rovers fan ignores is that Rovers were systamatically outplayed for the vast portion of the match. Most had never seen a Burnley team able to compete and best them! Their goalkeeper was MOM closley followed by the two centre backs!!

The result is immaterial, the bleating 34 years is laughable and of no concern because in the here and now. you are one point above us and look a very average team.

Team to attack - know your football.
And what are you waffling about 11 v 11 we are superior, you didn't win and for the moment we are above you. I'd question your grasp of what a fact is.

Better run club ?? - BFC is as badly run club as Rovers (at least we're honest enough to face up to it). If they hadnt sold that £7 misfiring donkey, known as "Saints flop" Rodreguz they'd have lost £4m in the last financial year !!
BFC = NO AMBITION.
BFC = Thieving owners (where did all the parachute payments go??).
BFC = 1 man team who even the fans are trying to talk up so they can get another few hundred quid when they sell him in January.
BFC = Promotion ??? EVER ??? - how do you get promotion when you sell your best player EVERY season (& how is that "showing" ambition ??).
BFC = small squad, small fan base and currently probably slightly higher in league than most fans of other clubs would expect (bottom 5 or 6).
BFC = cr@pest ground in Championship apart from Peterborough ?? (certainly in worst 3 or 4).
BFC = so close to PL football their manager walked out on them to go t a team in a division below with an ave crowd of 6,000 !!!
BFC = EVERY Dingle predicted a Burnley win last Sunday by 3 or 4 goals - yet not one of them is man enough (certainly not that scummer Fletcher) to stand up and say they were WRONG !!

Better run club ?? - BFC is as badly run club as Rovers (at least we're honest enough to face up to it). If they hadnt sold that £7 misfiring donkey, known as "Saints flop" Rodreguz they'd have lost £4m in the last financial year !!
BFC = NO AMBITION.
BFC = Thieving owners (where did all the parachute payments go??).
BFC = 1 man team who even the fans are trying to talk up so they can get another few hundred quid when they sell him in January.
BFC = Promotion ??? EVER ??? - how do you get promotion when you sell your best player EVERY season (& how is that "showing" ambition ??).
BFC = small squad, small fan base and currently probably slightly higher in league than most fans of other clubs would expect (bottom 5 or 6).
BFC = cr@pest ground in Championship apart from Peterborough ?? (certainly in worst 3 or 4).
BFC = so close to PL football their manager walked out on them to go t a team in a division below with an ave crowd of 6,000 !!!
BFC = EVERY Dingle predicted a Burnley win last Sunday by 3 or 4 goals - yet not one of them is man enough (certainly not that scummer Fletcher) to stand up and say they were WRONG !!
Even You cant STILL be feeling a little hoarse !

LittleRonnieHilderslYes, spending £8m on a player just to score a goal in a championship derby really is outstanding business. I don't know why rovers fans are so interested in our parachute payments. The money has gone on an over inflated wage bill which is sadly a burden to most clubs nowadays. We are a selling club and most clarets fans realise this. Unfortunately you lot need a dose of smelling salts to understand that you are in the "chumpionship" as some of you have posted, and you aren't going up anytime soon. Still, you can take comfort from all this "my club's bigger than your club" nonsense. I seem to remember PNE fans doing this over the years and look where they are now

Blackburn however have spent big money (relatively in championship terms) and some of the wages are eye watering. The owners are blowing their brains or the club are now getting into big debt!! (has anyone seen the accounts yet -- mmm??) And the banking is now abroad - out of sight. Do the maths income v expenditure this season and then look at next year - murphy Etuhu robinson etc etc - the wage structure is in line with a 25k crowd each paying £30 a ticket plus receiving premiership tv money. IT DOES NOT ADD UP!!!! Mr Singh saod himself that this year its promotion or bust - Since Rovers occupy a mid table position and in all reality cannot challenge for promotion , then ask ypurself again - which club is being better run and in the years to come which club may prosper more in the coming years?? Rovers are heading for real problems under the current owners/management - I support all teams in East Lancashire and am not bitter towards any club. There are some facts that are just too obvious not to acknowledge such as your current owners, the shocking management /coaching structure and the incredible wages being paid to many has been's and never will be's. (remind me - what is murphy on a week?, and for how long?? and exactly how much is he now going to improve as a player?? - or with age might he get worse???) -

Blackburn Rovers Football Club. Sold to Indian Chicken Farmers (honestly I still can't get over that one), Malaysian TV pundit doing the hiring and firing. Steve Kean. Drink driving conviction. Fans revolting. Best players bailing out. Relegated in disgrace with a chicken on the pitch. Large debts. Poor support. Widely regarded as the laughing stock of English football.

I think you seem to forget about the money from your brief stint in the premiership, who's pockets did that go into? and also a comparison of the infrastructure at both clubs.
BFC's training facilities are probably a match for most secondary schools in Yorkshire and your ground.....so forgetting your unsustainable wage bill and squad which without Austin isn't worth thre'pence, have to wonder what your club's medium and long term prospects are?
You might laugh at the chaos at Rovers and we are in mess certainly and are where we belong at the moment, but you still can't beat us and you're in complete denial if you think BFC aren't in the sh*t too with few assets, very poor infrastructure and no investment. So by all means take comfort in your delusion of being a 'well run club' - you were robbed blind by Flood and Kilby. Think after I've had a sniff of the salts I'll pass them back to you ;)

I suppose our current set up is much funnier than BFC almost going out of the league a few seasons ago...and I think to be pedantic Venky's have actually closed the gap rather than anything Burnely have done becuase you're definitely more sh*t than you were a couple of seasons ago - bit like us but without the success on the way.
We might be another Porstmouth, there's no denying it. But I think you don't really have a lot to crow about and where do you think Burnley will be in the next couple of seasons?
It's astonishing to see how much glory Burnley fans manage to take from drawing a game at home......I believe that all the supermarkets in Burnley ran out of tissue supplies at the weekend. I can't deny it, we'll keep learning from you, how to play football, how to smash up our own town, how to get so excited about drawing a home game, how to be so bitter and deluded xx

A comedy Global Advisor was then appointed, and I believe there was a chicken on the pitch at some point. Having become a national laughing stock the Rovers were then relegated and had to accept that the glory days were well and truly over with the club heading for financial ruin.

Its not the draw, its the realisation that that your reputation preceedes you and in fact you were (are) a very average team! For the last 30 years you have always had a stronger team and whilst we always hoped for a win (or even a good performance) the gap was too big.

Lets be honest here. The sole objective of Burnley's Championship campaign this season is to try and beat Blackburn and Bolton. Nothing else matters to the powers that be at Turf Moor. Such is the level of resentment and bitterness towards their two near neighbours. It really is quite sad. They built up the Bolton game at the start of the season like it was the world cup final and celebrated beating Owen Coyle like winning the FA Cup. Then along comes the game with Blackburn and the Burnley numbskulls are bigging themselves up pre-match as usual, saying its their time to shine etc etc. and then even when an out of sorts Rovers team turns up and gives you the chance of ending THAT wait, you STILL can't do it. I bet that if you offered Burnley supporters 21st in the league and a double over Blackburn they would take it without a doubt.
That's the main difference between Burnley and Blackburn. Burnley are the 'dreamers'. The club that has spent the modern generation languishing in the lower divisions, watching on whilst their neighbours scale the heights of English football and indulge in success that Burnley fans could only dream of. Blackburn have lived the dream, and their supporters have trophies and memories that Burnley will never have. Burnley's zenith in the last 35 years has been scabbing a win against Man Utd in one doomed top flight season. I've lost count the number of times Rovers have beaten Man Utd in recent history.
Its almost a resignation on the part of the Burnley supporters that their tin-pot provincial club is never going to achieve anything more than second tier mediocrity. So the next best thing is to try and indulge in the failures of other clubs. As I said the other day, Burnley's current league position in comparison to Bolton/Blackburn has nothing to do with Burnley being successful over the last few years, its because the other clubs have gone backwards, Burnley aren't going forwards. Has it escaped people's attention that this was the same Burnley that were sitting in the top half of the Premier League in December 2009. And now they are a club going places? Eddie Howe obviously didn't share the Dingles optimism. He saw what a ramshackled little club he was at and couldnt resist the lure of a club in the bottom 4 of League One!
Burnley v Blackburn......the world's most one sided derby. Ever.

Agree that we might not be moving forward at any great rate, but we are certainly not moving backwards under the stewardship of clueless Indian Chicken farmers. A stable platform at Burnley these days.
If present momentum continues the Rovers could be sliding further down the league and that just wouldn't do would it. Hope your memories of 'living the dream' are some consolation for the approaching years in the wilderness.

In the dream Blackburn were then systematically dismantled from the inside out with players jumping ship and fans turning on each other. A comedy Global Advisor was then appointed, and I believe there was a chicken on the pitch at some point. Having become a national laughing stock the Rovers were then relegated and had to accept that the glory days were well and truly over with the club heading for financial ruin.

Oh dear me, some of you Blackburn fans are so deluded. It's quite amusing to read your petty squeals of desperation when deep down you know that after many long years the Clarets have finally closed the gap, and not only that shown you how to play football. You cannot deny it, it happened on Sunday. Maybe now is the time to pipe down a little and accept that you are simply returning to your rightful position in the grand scheme of things. Show some dignity. No more of Mr Walkers pocket money to play with combined with the most comical ownership/management structure known to football means that the slide will continue for some time yet. And you will have no choice but to curb your arrogance. How much of their own money have Venky's actually invested? How long will they fund a loss making business? What kind of a future does Blackburn have under the Venky's considering their performance to date? Another Portsmouth perhaps.
Considering the history of the derby, its probably the world's most one-sided derby.
And yet you still clutch at straws.

Then I woke up.. Imagine if all that happened.

Burnley Football Club. Better run both financially and commercially, stable management structure, loyal fan base. Working hard with a long term vision.
Blackburn Rovers Football Club. Sold to Indian Chicken Farmers (honestly I still can't get over that one), Malaysian TV pundit doing the hiring and firing. Steve Kean. Drink driving conviction. Fans revolting. Best players bailing out. Relegated in disgrace with a chicken on the pitch. Large debts. Poor support. Widely regarded as the laughing stock of English football.
It's easy to see why someone would back Burnley to reach the Premier League first.
