Clarets striker eyed by Olympiacos
11:00am Saturday 23rd March 2013 in Sport
MARTIN Paterson is believed to be a summer transfer target for Greek Superleague leaders Olympiacos.
The Burnley striker is out of contract at the end of this season, and has not yet had new terms tabled.
Olympiacos, whose goalkeeper is Paterson’s Northern Ireland team-mate Roy Carroll, have been alerted to the 25-year-old's potential availability and could be ready to offer Paterson Champions League football next season.
A number of Championship clubs have also made tentative enquiries about the former Stoke and Scunthorpe forward, who in his first season with the Clarets helped fire the club to the League Cup semi-finals and promotion to the Premier League by top scoring with 19 league and cup goals.
Following relegation after just one season in the top flight, the blow of losing Steven Fletcher in a record sale to Wolves was softened by Paterson agreeing a contract extension to the summer of 2013.
But the striker has been plagued by injuries since helping to fire Burnley to promotion, and has subsequently struggled to replicate that form.
This season the Northern Ireland international has overcome an early hamstring problem to enjoy his best run in the squad.
He has targeted ending the campaign on double figures for goals, and remains halfway there with eight games to go after being denied a certain strike in the East Lancashire derby by goalkeeper Jake Kean's superb save.
Paterson put his international career on hold earlier this season in order to avoid any setbacks after his last injury.
And the time-out has paid off, with the striker returning to the Clarets first team line-up and earning a recall for last night’s World Cup qualifier with Russia.
Paterson, a one-time club record £1.3m signing, would be allowed to leave Turf Moor on a free transfer.
Long-serving midfielder Chris McCann is in a similar situation, with no concerted effort from the club, at this stage, to tie the youth team product to a new deal as they look to again scale down the wage bill.
On the subject of contract negotiations in general, Burnley manager Sean Dyche stressed it would be an ongoing process.
“With a club transitioning out of the heady days of the Premier League financially then there are players who were deemed good players and they are on contracts that were among those years of trying to immediately go back into the Premier League.
“That doesn’t mean we aren’t trying to do that (win promotion) but those contracts now have to come down because the cost base has to come down.
“So the negotiation process becomes obviously more difficult.
“We aren’t market leaders financially so we can’t just give them what they want and they just re-sign.
“It’s not perfect, but it is what it is. That cost base has to be considered.”
Ross Wallace was the first out-of-contract Claret to agree new, reduced terms this season.
Kevin Long has also extended his deal after recently breaking into the first team side under Dyche.

It was embarrassing when Rovers were for sale for three years and no-one bought us, can't imagine how embarrasing it is to be for sale for 10 years and have no takers. Still merseysiders are the scum of the earth. Okay so we throw a few insults and a few snowballs. On merseyside they shoot and kidnap children and when the parents of said scumsters find out about their childrens scummy behaviour they wash the evidence off with petrol instead of turning them in.
So don't try taking the moral high ground you cross dressing scumster nobody. Go away and support your scummy club, built on a scummy city that was built on slavery and thievery. Its we lancs folks who pity you.

You really are a bit dim aren't you. Lance armstrong achieved a great deal and should have been put down for good. Another steroid monkey in the persuit of glory. So you are saying we were wrong to out this cheating back stabbing monkey retard, because he rides a bike like you when the real enemy was the cycling governing bodies?
Okay then pork boy apart from really smooth legs and once sniffing bradley wiggins saddle, what have you achieved?
I find you like the capatain of the titanic who danced on the deck saying there is no way this ship is going down it was designed by the clever people like me, so I'll just stay here dancing and watch all those jumpimg overboard for nothing. And so the monkey danced and the band played on. The rest is history, which you ignore anyway and just invent your own.

Get as far away from Burnley as is physically possible.
They are a death wish to a footballer's career.
Even Mr Dyche is looking for an escape route.
The club is an embarassment.
It was embarrassing when Rovers were for sale for three years and no-one bought us, can't imagine how embarrasing it is to be for sale for 10 years and have no takers. Still merseysiders are the scum of the earth. Okay so we throw a few insults and a few snowballs. On merseyside they shoot and kidnap children and when the parents of said scumsters find out about their childrens scummy behaviour they wash the evidence off with petrol instead of turning them in.
So don't try taking the moral high ground you cross dressing scumster nobody. Go away and support your scummy club, built on a scummy city that was built on slavery and thievery. Its we lancs folks who pity you.
You're never alone with schizophrenia, eh, mad lad?
Don't come on here deriding my team if you spit your dummy out when someone has a dig at yours, you scum sucking slavery peddlar.
Just because its snowed and your bike has no snow shoes you come on here that confused and bewildered you start stabbing people in the front.
Why suck up to Burnley fans and pretend you are one of them, when really you are an everton fan who's ancesters were born of thievery, slavery. and child kidnapping murder?
You really are an odd dude
You shave your legs and then pretend its normal behaviour, and you call me a shcizo, blinding.
Owned
Oddball
And you provide ample evidence of your schizophrenic state by your constant need to change your name. It's obvious to anyone with the most rudimentary knowledge of psychology that you are in need of assistance. Get some. Please. I fear for the damage you are doing to yourself.
You shave your legs because why? tell me and the rest, why do you shave your kegs. The questin is simple. Tell everyone on here why you feel the need to go against nature, WHY
Also, If I am barking up the wrong tree regarding your allegiance, be a man and tell us all who you follow. I nail my colours to the mast and say I support Rovers, yet you are that shallow, you won't admit you are an everton fan. WHY are you embarrassed about their grave robbing past?
And the only embarrassment I'd feel on here is to give you anything other than what you need and what you need is some help. Get some.

Burnley 2-1 Orient, Fourth Division, 1986-87
I was there ~ When Burnley escaped relegation on the last day of the 1986-87 season, Peter Bateman thought he had witnessed one of football's romantic occasions. On reflection, he saw an awful game that nearly took a club out of existence
For 20 years I lived with the comforting illusion that I had seen what, in the circumstances, had been an excellent game of football at Turf Moor on May 9, 1987, with Burnley securing their League status with a well-deserved, if narrow, win. Then I saw the video.
Following Tranmere's win the night before, one of Burnley, Torquay or Lincoln would be the first club automatically relegated from the Football League. Burnley were odds-on favourites to go down. A First Division club only 11 years earlier, the Clarets were broke, the team was a demoralised rabble and the supporters were disillusioned to the extent that crowds had dropped below 2,000 at times that season. Burnley had to win and hope that one of the two other teams lost.
The night before the game, a group of friends and I decided in a Birmingham pub that we would go along to support the Clarets. A 10am the following morning we set off up the M6 in my battered Metro. There was a proverbial sea of claret and blue on the M6 but only, as it turned out, because relegated Aston Villa were bowing out of Division One at Old Trafford. Only after the M62 did we see significant numbers of Burnley supporters.
The supporters turned out in force that day. The pubs were crowded before the match, but the raucous singing barely masked the anxiety. People were buying programmes by the armful outside the ground. One particularly enterprising individual was making a killing selling T-shirts emblazoned with the words "John Bond is a ****", as if his single season as manager had brought the club so low.
A crowd of 10,000 had been expected, but nearly twice as many turned up, causing a 20-minute delay to kick-off. They brought old scarves from happier days as lucky charms and carried table-top radios on shoulders to keep abreast of the scores elsewhere.
The news that the refereeing appointment had been changed at the last minute heightened the anxiety. Eddie Guy had been replaced by George Courtney, the country's top referee at the time. Clearly the League wanted to reduce to a minimum the possibility of Burnley being relegated because of a refereeing error. The implication was they had written the Clarets off.
The game kicked off at 3.20pm and Orient, who needed a win for a play-off place, poured forward. They had a header cleared off the line and rattled the crossbar with a shot before Burnley settled. A minute before half time, Neil Grewcock received the ball on the right wing. The defenders showed him inside and he hit a left-foot shot into the far corner.
With Torquay and Lincoln both losing, the mood began to brighten. Just after half time Ian Britton headed in a quickly taken free-kick and the party started. The celebrations were brief, as Alan Comfort, who had been a thorn in Burnley's side all afternoon, soon pulled a goal back. There followed half an hour of slow torture, which became all the worse when we discovered the other games had finished and results had gone Burnley's way.
Burnley had chances to make the game safe but somehow it wasn't in the script. The tension was raised a notch each time they failed to score. Towards the end of the game, someone turned up their radio and I heard the mellifluous voice of Peter Jones – this was Radio Two's live commentary game. I looked across to the moors and saw them dappled in the sunlight that was breaking through the cloud. If this was a sign from on high, it escaped most people in the ground.
It was after 5pm by the time Courtney ended our torment. The crowds streamed onto the pitch, where several players had collapsed in nervous exhaustion. Many supporters were in tears. "Not a bad game considering," we agreed. "Burnley played some decent stuff." Back in the King's Head pub on the outskirts of Birmingham my companions reckoned we had chosen a good day out, experienced history and seen a decent game.
That was my view for 20 years. Then I watched the video. The game was awful. Burnley's players seemed paralysed by fear, incapable of stringing two passes together. I could now see what I missed from my position behind a stanchion on the Long Side in 1987 – just how close Orient came to putting Burnley out of the League and, almost certainly, out of existence.
How Burnley managed to win is a mystery. Games like this are best replayed in the head. Even in football you can only bear so much reality. Peter Bateman

Comment by ale 2012-02-29 18:01:46
Burnley lost a lot of sympathy for their pre-match whinging about possibly losing their Football League place and made noises about challenging any relegation if it came about.
Comment by rockford 2012-02-29 23:59:05
Frank Clark, the O's manager at the time, has subsequently suggested that the local police advised that the safety of the team and their fans could not be assured were Orient to win that game. Those I know many that attended were bloody relieved we lost that day.
I escaped from the Kassam Stadium unscathed, having won promotion and relegated Oxford a few years back. It would seem the 80's were much darker times to be a football supporter
Comment by Roger Titford 2012-03-01 17:41:43
I went to this (from London!)- my 2nd and currently latest visit to Turf Moor. It was possibly the most emotional crowd I've ever been in. It was the very first year that a team could be relegated from the League and hard to believe it might be the Champions of 1960.
I didn't go expecting a great game but the atmosphere was unbelievable. Did Orient hit the post towards the end? Sadly I missed out on the T shirt but I've still got photos of fans high in the rafters of the Long Side.
Comment by MinkaBeaver 2012-03-01 22:01:59
This was the day the Torquay game was delayed in stoppage time by an alarmed police dog chasing one of the Torquay players and biting him on the thigh.
@ Roger Titford - are there any plans for WSC articles in the near future? Missed seeing your name...
Comment by grippersi 2012-03-02 09:34:01
I was at Plainmoor that day. It remains the only day I have cried at a football match. Running on the pitch when Paul Dobson scored our equaliser, telling as many players as I could that Lincoln had lost. I am not sure they heard, believed nor understood me.
Torquay had lost in stoppage-time at Orient on the Bank Holiday Monday before that final Saturday, and that journey back to Devon was horrible.
I loved that season.
Comment by Peter_Bateman 2012-03-02 10:08:57
It was an extraordinary day all round. Wasn't an overexcited police dog Torqiay's saviour, biting a player and causing the umpteen minutes of injury time in which the Gulls equalised?
It was the uncertainty of the first season of automatic relegation that was the main factor. The Blue Square Premier is now effectively a Fifth Division with all but a couple of clubs fulltime professionals and there is a well charted route back (as the Gulls can tesify!). Back then no-one knew what would happen to the relegated club.
A final comment. No footballer in the land would have swapped places with the 11 Burnley players that day. It must have been a horrible game to have to play. They were Burnley's worst ever team, and most of them surely knew that they had no future at the club even if Burnley stayed up. But they didn't lack courage and commitment when it really mattered. And for that all Burnley fans remember them with gratitude. The line up was:
Neenan, Leebrook, Hampton, Rodaway, Gallagher, Deakin, Grewcock, Malley, James, Devaney, Britton.
The substitute was local lad Ashley HJoskin who wasn't used

The Blue Square Premier is now effectively a Fifth Division with all but a couple of clubs fulltime professionals and there is a well charted route back (as the Gulls can tesify!). Back then no-one knew what would happen to the relegated club.'
True in a way, though the fact that there are so many full-time ex-league outfits in the Conference actually makes coming back quickly that much more difficult. The struggles of the current Lincoln side are evidence enough of that.
I remember the 87/88 Lincoln side well ; I saw them win 1-0 away in early season to what was a very decent (for that level) Telford Utd team. Lincoln were strong and organised and you wouldn't have needed prior knowledge to see that they were a full-time side up against part-timers. It was clear they were going straight back up, hard as Barnet tried to contest the issue.
Good article anyway, brings back memories.

Fast-forwarding to today, March 23rd 2013, Blackburn Rovers are managerless, have sacked three managers this season, owe several millions on the altar of their ineptitude, are facing the real prospect of relegation, are being increasingly deserted by fans not wanting to pay to see the current carcass of a behemoth out of control BUT YOU WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE OF SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED TO SOMONE ELSE IN THE LAST CENTURY! I'm amazed you didn't have an open-top-bus ride celebration planned for that one.
Your club is the laughing stock of the country and you only need to open ANY of the national newspapers to see evidence of that. And you don't need a question mark for that one, either.

BRFC were established in the top flight thanks to the generosity and sheer luck of having the beneficence of a true supporter of the club. Now that money and luck have ran out, Blackburn are finding their equilibrium. The 11 years are in the past. You should stop attempting to live there, it reflects poorly on you.

Does a more infantile human being exist than Donfartin? His optimism strikes me like junk mail addressed to the dead.
It would move things forward in his therapy if he admitted which football club he supported but as he has trouble with experiences in the past, he refuses to answer two simple questions
1 Why did you or why do you shave your legs and then deny doing so and
2 What football team do you support
Couldn't be simpler, ask him yourself and you usually get a JR Tolkiens length of waffle followed by a dissappearing act that Houdini would have been proud of.
