Why?

What I thought came across loud and clear was how he wants the academy to be the best it can be. If he can stop all the local talent from going to Arsenal/Chelsea etc, then our future is extremely bright. The other thing I thought was interesting is that he reports directly to TB and not PB.

Thanks for this - have commented above.

Depends if the football league think that the 150,000,000 international TV deal is reasonable or not. So I would say no. Oh, and re Messi - only actual income counts, not perceived income.

What was your overall impression of Mr Burke?

Yup, I see that. Surely the FL must have sorted this out? Surely? He even mentioned something about the money possibly going to charity or something!? We will have to wait and see what happens I guess!

Yes, I did not understand that - the Football League website says that the fines will be split between those clubs still in the championship who did not flout the rules and this only applies to those clubs promoted, as it is only promoted teams who will get fined. Those that remain in the...

Indeed. Would like to hear what TLO thought of Mr Burke.

:thumbsup:. Conway will score a hattrick this pm anyway....

Yes, there is that. But we now have a dedicated scout in Scandanavia, 1 in France, 1 in Spain and 1 in Holland. Plus 8 in the UK and others looking specifically at kids. Our scouting network has expanded dramatically. But he also said in that interview that he did not want the club to be...

Of course if you put shit in you get shit out. Does not explain why not all "his" signings have been shit. We can only really judge that when the 3 you mention have been given a decent chance and in Agustien's case, is fit. Conway does not look up to much, I will give you that. But then neither...

The database contains everyone, not just those the scouts have watched - everyone. That is what he said. I dunno re the second bit - maybe they are unavailable, too expensive, don't want to come etc etc.

But according to that interview, Burke's list contains everyone! So by that, Oscar's "players" would be on the list. Well we will never know re the last sentence.

Ok, but you also have to give him credit for Ulloa, Ward, Upson do you not? The jury is out on the 3 players you mentioned, certainly, but then they have hardly played. It did sound like the setup at the club is first class, and has moved on considerably from what it was, don't you think?

Well..... That was excellent - extremely interesting. The one thing that screamed out of the speakers at me was just how professional David Burke appears to be. The set up at this club is first class. Any of you on here who doubt this guy's credentials or his ability to do the job, please...

This is VERY harsh. I listen and I have 4 dogs.

I have a few suggestions for questions. Not sure if he can answer them all though... FFP: 1. Has the Football League issued guidelines to the clubs as to what would be acceptable with regards to income received from sponsorship deals eg shirts, stadium etc? 2. Have details of the transfer...

That is how they hope they will beat FFP. It is up to the Football League to ensure that they do not get away with it.
