TETRA Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Interesting to note Burnley's published yearly accounts for last season in the Prem. Well over £30 Million profit made, which doesn't include the money they will receive for Danny Ings as their awaiting the result of a tribunal with regards to his transfer fee with Liverpool. So your probably talking about another £10-£12 Million there. Over £40 Million profit in just one season. Just goes to prove what can been done especially considering where they are again this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 When you look at their signings last summer it's not really surprising, no chance of staying up, wouldn't mind a little ambition to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be in a bit better position to stay up if they manage promotion again this season though. Just shows what's possible with an excellent manager who oddly enough irritates me greatly.

ClaretMatt Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm not expecting any more than £6 million for Ings. We've already spent £20 million of that £30 million on stadium & training ground developments and eliminating all debts. We should have pushed the boat out a bit more last season, given how close we came to staying up. Hopefully if we go up this season (by no means even close to a foregone conclusion) we'll be in a position to invest much more in the playing squad and stand a better chance of staying up, though being a yo-yo club isn't the worst fate in the world.

Inglorius Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Quite impressive figures given the average home attendance figure of 19,000 though tempered by the total lack of any significant spending and ambition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that clearing debts and improving stadium/training ground is showing much more ambition than focusing on staying up in 14/15 at all costs. Go up this time and you've only got one thing to spend money on. The team. Prudence isn't always the same thing as a lack of ambition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 20 million on Turf Moor? Can't have cost that much to get it looking like the 60's throwback it is currently surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaretMatt said the £20m covered 3 things...stadium, training ground and eliminating debt. we've no idea of the balance between the 3. perhaps the stadium bit was a lick of creosote to cover the planking stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCArmy Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Can only have respect for them But that stadium is something that would have looked out of place in the 50s, I went there about 10 years ago so it might look better now they've done it up a bit. I think their going up now and good luck to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaretsRick Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 My only real embarrassment about being a Burnley fan is the stadium. It is obviously old fashion. The only thing being done in/around the stadium is the creation of a brand new store/ticket office. We are spending about 10.5 million to gain Academy 2 status at our training facilities in Gawthorpe. The debts, whilst "manageable" were paid off to the directors and I think there's been some money paid to those who set up the UCFB college/uni thing that has now swanned off to Etihad/Wembley/Nou Camp? (I think). Our signings in 14/15 were poor, Juke, Sordell et al were never going to keep us up, but then, when our points tally wasn't wildly away from staying up, it probably makes sense now in hindsight.
