Blackburn Rovers and Burnley Premier League podcast week 37 Blackburn Rovers and Burnley Premier League podcast week 37

So why did Burnley go down? Was it Owen Coyle's fault? Should the board have spent more money to improve the squad? Were the players to blame? Or was it the Brian Laws factor?

In this week's podcast, our sports team tackle all those questions, as well as looking at Rovers summer transfer kitty and how important finishing 9th or 10th will be.

Sports Editor Paul Plunkett is joined by Andy Cryer, Suzanne Geldard and Chris Flanagan.

I'm of the belief, that the Burnley board did NOT have the aspiration, nor the absolute will to remain in the premier league. Any team that has been promoted to the premier league, has to invest in premiership experienced players, to stand a decent chance of survival. but the Burnley board were NOT prepared to take the risk of investing millons of pounds so early in the campaign, only to see the team being relegated, resulting in footballers wanting out, and a club in freefall. The board has lacked backbone, by not taking the risk in releasing funds. Risks are taken everyday in business. you win some, you lose some. Owen Coyle left, because of disillutionment. All his hard work, in steering the clarets to the dizzying heights of the football world, only to
realise, that funds are NOT going to be forthcoming, to help keep them there. Coyle had plans for Burnley, whereas the same can't be said for the board. My conclusion is, Coyle cannot be blamed for Burnley's demise. the blame lies with messrs. Kilby and Flood.......

Because the players are totally c**p and nowhere near Premier League standard. Its as simple and straight forward as that, really seriously.

The writing was on the wall when Owen Coyle realised there was no new money was available to spend on players. Bolton came knocking and whilst they are not overburdened with money, they are prepared to spend.I am not a big fan of the transfer window as it artificially inflates tranfer fees, but, your season (burnley) ended in January.
