Makes you proud to be a Clarets when you look at the utterly shambolic state of affairs at the likes of Blackburn Rovers and Bolton. Both smaller clubs on a clear downward trajectory who will struggle for many years given the precarious state of their finances. Blackburn more so I feel given the clueless nature of their owners and the potential for them to pull out at any moment. It's going to be a nervous season for these clubs and failure to achieve promotion will be nothing less than catastrophic.

What a shame.

I wish we were as small as Bolton or Rovers with maybe a ground like Boltons. As to have one as good as Rovers would not be possible unless we spent all 120 million on just the ground improvements.Then of course we would only be able to fill two sides at best and only be able to sign freebies with no money left for wages"
