Absolutely. I'm not absolving Burke from any blame. As has been said on another thread, signings under Oscar (barring Stephens and Ward) were pretty poor. In fairness though, we've lost Kuszczak, Upson, Ward/Bridge, Bridcutt, Hammond, Orlandi, Lopez, Vicente, Barnes and Ulloa and they're hard...

But last night we saw plenty of leadership. Players like Calderon, Holla, Ince, Dunk and Halford are all strong leaders and, when played, will battle for everything. I'm glad Burke has gone as I never agreed with the manager not buying players themselves. However, I never agreed with the...

I don't know the ins and outs so no idea. All I'm trying to say is Burke can't spend money that isn't in the budget. The frustration is we've lost/sold/released 11 players this summer (making £8 million) and only signed 4 (paying about £1.5 million) yet we still can't compete with clubs who...

I'm pretty sure it's the latter. Tony Bloom seems to be above criticism (and he has every right to be for what he's done) but he sets the budgets and wage caps. He also signs off the transfers. Also, as said elsewhere, if Burke wasn't doing what he wanted, he'd get rid of him. Burke seems to be...

I completely agree with this. Burke is given a budget and works within it. Who genuinely think players sign for a club because of their director of football? Sami will be the one who makes the difference, if we can compete with other clubs on wages. The issue seems to be that we can't or won't...
