Squad14 Jan 2036

A knee injury of the worst kind for James Hill

34 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.

Match12 Jan 2036

No end in sight to Burnley's wait for a win

10 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Burnley has to find a result from somewhere.

Transfer targets14 Jan 2036

Brooke Norton-Cuffy turns down Burnley

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Arsenal keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad14 Jan 2036

A one-man rearguard from Romain Jean-Baptiste

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market14 Jan 2036

Hugo Fagerberg 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.

Market14 Jan 2036

Magnus Bjørnstad is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Burnley is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The dugout14 Jan 2036

Sebastian Jensen: 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.

Squad14 Jan 2036

Michael Parker 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.

Transfer targets14 Jan 2036

Burnley rebuffed over Yeremy Pino

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

Squad28 May 2035

Sean Neave breaks a bone — 103 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 103 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market28 May 2035

Oliver Irow is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Burnley is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom28 May 2035

Marko Mladenović has agreed to leave Burnley for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad28 May 2035

Words exchanged at Burnley

Nikolay Kamaev and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad28 May 2035

Words at Burnley training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marko Mladenović is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad28 May 2035

Peter Clark signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Peter Clark and Burnley agree another 4 years.

The dugout28 May 2035

Ruslan Chobanov knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Burnley, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout28 May 2035

Federico Tonti gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market28 May 2035

Burnley put Jakob Gunnar Sigurðsson up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Jakob Gunnar Sigurðsson may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Squad14 May 2035

117 days out for Sean Neave after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Burnley will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout14 May 2035

Maxime Bastian 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.

Squad14 May 2035

Words exchanged at Burnley

Gustavo Sá and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market14 May 2035

Federico Tonti has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Burnley they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad14 May 2035

Words at Burnley training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nikolay Kamaev is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad14 May 2035

Nikolay Kamaev is a square peg at Burnley

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Boardroom14 May 2035

Wages swallow 92% of the Burnley income

Every club 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 it has been tried.

Market14 May 2035

Burnley buy the years ahead of Peter Clark

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market14 May 2035

The Gustavo Sá question follows Burnley around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Gustavo Sá’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

In brief
