So "my" club is no longer owned by local Burnley fans. I tell you what, it feels strange! Fingers crossed it's the start of something positive. Time will tell I suppose #UTC #twitterclarets

Whatever negatives anyone wishes the throw at Garlick, he steered the club into continuous Premier League status. Whatever the investment, unless it is Abramovich level (unlikely) it is never going to make us much more than Top 10. Get used to it. Thanks Mike. #twitterclarets

On a real, let’s build a statue of Mike Garlick. Burnley fan who threw everything he could at Burnley to make us successful. What a man. #TwitterClarets #ALKTakeover #BurnleyFC
