  Pardon me if I am wrong but isn't this the same Paul Fletcher who said before the start of last season and before the football club "pulled the rug from under Eddie's feet by selling our top players as he was preparing for the forth-coming season with them" that "Burnley would finish in the Top Six of the Championship." Well may I remind Mr Paul Fletcher along with Barry Kilby and the rest of the Burnley board where the club actually finished as if they need reminding.- 13th. That's at least seven places below where he predicted we would finish providing that we finished 6th. We lost more games than we won last season and finished more than 12 points off the play-off places and now he is expecting us to believe him when he says that : " The Bolton game will be a sell-out ! " For starters if he had done his homework he would know that when we played Judas's team in the Carling Cup it was nowhere near a "sell-out" and it won't be on the 18th. August.2012 either. NOT at those ridiculous prices of £31 for a "Gold" match. The only thing that he is right on is that Judas will need his " tin hat on. " Not much news coming out of Turf Moor regarding the Football University these days. Perhaps it is costing the club more than they antisipated and part of the money that they received for Jay Rodreguiz is going to fund that as well as balancing the books. I wait with baited breath to see who is going to be our next big summer signing from the Blue Square Premier League.

  More Tetley anti-Kilby and the borad drivel.
  
  Bore off

  Anti Kilby and Board drivel ????
  Your obviously not clued up and are taken in by everything the club tells you.Blackpool 20 mill in profit,Burnley 4 mill in debt after one season in prem.Bpool make 7 changes near end of season and beat leaders Southampton 3-0.We are that short we put kids on bench.Our backroom staff has been decimated.Kilby said at the time,the money from the prem will keep the club going for the next ten years,2 year on we are 4 mill in debt and Kilby said we may have to sell our stars to survive.Bpool tried their utmost to keep their prize assett Charlie Adam,Kilby tried his hardest to sell ours,Jay,who turned Southampton down despite Kilby agreeing a fee.Hows about we take a leaf out of Blackpool's book on how to run a football club.As for the new chairmen-Have we heard them saying they are pumping any cash into the club with their own cash as die-hard Burnley fans ? No,Businessmen dont make their cash by spending it,hence why they are rich.

  Please - you talk rubbish man - Both us and Blackpool were forced to sell players that wanted away - have you any proof that Jay rejected a move to Saints in December? has Jay ever come out and said this, did Southampton, did BFC? No thought not.
  We had to pay off Laws (whose contract length was admittedly an error) and also pay off Bournrmouth for Howe.
  Also if memory serves wasn't it Paul Fletcher not Kilby that said the money from the PL will keep us going 10 years?
  Take a leaf out of Blackpool's book? Really? I think you will find that they will be kicking off in the same league as us next season and that Holloway has been told he must seriously trim his squad, so they will likely suffer 'second season syndrome'.
  When all said and done, the only thing I will blame the board for is giving Brian Laws such a long contract, as ultimately this cost us financially, and also probably cost us the chance of a good season after our drop from the PL.
  Would you prefer a takeover by a clueless foreign owner as has happened down the M65? No? Well unless you have several millions to invest then, like me, you should be content with what we have - stability and a board full of BFC fans who have the best interests of the club at heart.

  I think you will find your the one talking drivel-Yes Jay turned Southampton down and yes Kilby accepted bid-do some research-Remco Van der schaff 1 game-wages over a million pound,who's faults that then ????

  Remco VDS was signed by OWEN COYLE so therefore it was his fault, are you seriously blaming Kilby for backing his manager's judgement?
  Ok - show me your research that PROVES Jay turned down Southampton, do you have any kind of statement from either a) Jay b) BFC or c) Southampton? If the answer is no then bore off with your conspiracy theories.

  You really are chomping at the bit,i used to live next door to Jay,so therein lies your answer.Eckersley,Eas
  
  ton there's another 2 for you.

  Ha ha ha ha ha ha - of course you did Fantasy boy, did he used to invite you in for cosy chats about his professional career, and did you get invited to the Rodriguez family barbeques?
  
  I will type this slowly as I know you can't read very fast - WHO SIGNED EASTON AND ECKERSLEY - when you work it out, you will have your answer of who is to blame.
  Kilby merely backed the judgement of his manager, as he should do - if the players then turn out to be garbage then the fault lies at the manager's door, not the chairman (Unless you have an ulterior motive of course).
  Must go, I live next door to Jimmy Anderson and he wants to have a bowl at me - cheerio."
