Burnley sell Marcus Edwards for $24.9M
Marcus Edwards has left for Stoke City in a $24.9M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Burnley sell a favourite for $24.9M
The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Marcus Edwards was one of the reasons people came, and $24.9M does not replace that by itself.

Burnley turn down Cardiff City for Lyle Foster
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Burnley rebuffed over Ben Nelson
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Leicester City have kept their man, and Burnley go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Burnley promote Charles Howard from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Charles Howard has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Daniel Wilson steps up from the Burnley academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Wilson has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Burnley sign off a bigger ground
A capacity of 27701 on the plans. A decision judged twenty years from now, by people who were not in the room and will have opinions anyway.
In brief
- Squad Jorge Ortega remains an outsider
- Squad Competition arrives for Largie Ramazani
- Looking ahead Burnley host Newcastle United
