    Had you done your research it could be the closest for 33 years.
    I have done my research because there was little between the sides when we played in the old second division in 1982/83, i'd say the gulf between the playing squads started in about 1984.

    I hope you were one of the regulars from that era as the finances coming into Ewood Park weren't even enough to pay the phone bill, you don't know how lucky you are that Jack Walker came along because otherwise you'd have been in a right mess."

Clarets agree record fee with Saints for striker Rodriguez

JAY Rodriguez could be on the verge of leaving Burnley, after the Clarets agreed a record breaking £7million fee with Southampton.

Saints have led the chase for the sought after striker since winning promotion back to the Premier League.

And they may have succeeded in fending off competition from a host of top flight teams, including Newcastle, Everton and Fulham, after getting the closest to Burnley's £8m asking price.

Personal terms have yet to be agreed, however.

Rodriguez is currently out of the country and has yet to meet with the south coast club's officials.

But Southampton will be hopeful of landing one of their prime targets, 12 months after having a £5m bid turned down.

Should the deal go ahead it would break the club's outgoing transfer fee record, set by Steven Fletcher two years ago.

The Scotland striker joined Wolves in a deal worth £6.5m.
