Scores the goal that takes Burnley back to the Prem. Well done lad!

 

[jack_lord]

When he comes back I hope it isn't because he is done and also that he takes a wage that doesnt flush our cashflow

Should never have been “Given away” for a paltry £2.5m in the first place by our pathetic shyster owners

A Full Welsh International, with a Rolls Royce engine, the epitome of a modern wing back, who also can score a few goals.

Absolute scandalous asset stripping, just to keep their own investors happy.

And by the way, wait for exactly the same thing to happen with Piroe in the summer.

I can only hope that we have a significant sell on clause in his contract for the pitiful amount we sold him for.

It was also pretty scandalous that he was poorly utilised in the last few months here and was effectively used as a spare man. Including in the play off final

Not going to waste too much energy defending our owners, but if you have a player going into the last year of their contract, who isn't going to sign a new contract on terms you can afford, then you have to take what you can get.

Otherwise you lose a valuable asset for nothing, like we'll see with Manning this summer.

Obvious really.

Why wasn’t he given an extended contract earlier then? Any normal owner that knew anything about football, would have seen an appreciating asset with a terrific sell on value.

Whose agent was advising him not to sign because he could get him much more money by hanging out.

You can't make a player sign an extension if he doesn't want to.

Exactly. Connor and his agent would have also been fully aware he was 'an appreciating asset with terrific sell on value' and pitched their contract demands appropriately.
