Squad10 Aug 2037

A knee injury of the worst kind for Max Weiß

99 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Burnley lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market10 Aug 2037

Michael Davis hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Burnley can pretend not to have heard.

Squad10 Aug 2037

Tempers go at Burnley

Zian Flemming was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Max Weiß

108 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Burnley lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Tempers go at Burnley

Stefanos Tzimas was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Andréas Hountondji raises the bar for Burnley

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Burnley heard it as anything else.

Zian Flemming: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Burnley have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Jacob Bruun Larsen falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad8 Jun 2037

Lucas Pires has been here 11 seasons

280 appearances across 11 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad8 Jun 2037

Mark Roberts says Burnley went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad8 Jun 2037

Jacob Bruun Larsen signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jacob Bruun Larsen commits to Burnley for another 2 years.

Boardroom8 Jun 2037

The Burnley board want somebody sold

The instruction has come from upstairs rather than from the dugout, which is the version of this conversation no manager enjoys. Somebody in that squad is now available whether the man who picks the team thinks so or not.

Squad8 Jun 2037

Zian Flemming in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Burnley this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom8 Jun 2037

Christopher Russell signs for Blackburn Rovers while still at Burnley

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Christopher Russell has agreed terms with Blackburn Rovers for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Market8 Jun 2037

Robert Henderson attracts admirers

The name of Robert Henderson has come up in conversations Burnley were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Boardroom8 Jun 2037

Burnley beat the market to Joel Akpobi from Brentford

Brentford will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Joel Akpobi has pre-agreed a move to Burnley, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Boardroom8 Jun 2037

97% of the income goes out in wages at Burnley

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.
