I don't think it's loans that he made to the club, I believe it's loans that were taken out to fund the purchase of the club. The money was borrowed from the good people at MSD, which is where a chunk of the Derby County money was also owed. Part of the agreement was that if Burnley were relegated then the balance would have to be paid immediately rather than interest payments only being required for the first few years. Burnley apparently have £50m in cash reserves so they aren't struggling for money, they will inevitably sell some players I guess as well. Unfortunately, you have a club in Burnley who have actually operated their business in the right way, and have been comfortable in terms of FFP, but they have issues because the person who purchased the club was able to do so with loans made against the business they were buying. It shouldn't be allowed in football. 8 Link to post Share on other sites

Foogle 2,078 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Any word on a new deal for Howson? Would definitely be good for 20-25 starts and we know he works well in the system. Link to post Share on other sites

Not convinced we would bring anyone in to do a better job than him with our recruitment record. Link to post Share on other sites

It shouldn't be allowed in football. They also had £102m of debt apparently. When that needs repaying, I don’t know. They have already received the transfer fee for Chris Wood, by borrowing from the bank, so Newcastle owe the bank the second instalment of £12.5m and not Burnley. Don’t think they are in dire straits, but they are certainly not rolling in cash. They could sell Pope, Cornet and O’Neill, as their major assets, but they will definitely need a lot of new players over the summer. We had better get used to stories linking both us and Burnley to the same players. Link to post Share on other sites
