Mike Garlick: Premier League’s Success Story

5:41 AM

Mike Garlick shares the miracle of Burnley's Premier League’s success story

Welcome to the Mike Garlick blog. Frenchman, a Spaniard and two Belgians walk into a pub in Burnley. There is no punchline. The four are drinking in the Royal Dyche before Burnley’s win over Everton and their presence gives a little demonstration of the impact close to four years of Premier League football and seven years of Sean Dyche have had on a club that takes neither for granted. Whether others outside Turf Moor recognise the scale of achievement is open to question.

“A number of years ago I used to think: ‘Does anyone recognise the enormity of where this club was to where it is now?’ says Dyche, who will mark seven years as the Burnley manager on Wednesday. “But I’m really not that precious about it now. The staff, the players, the board and chief exec know what we do and I think the fans do too. They are the important parties. We work authentically and honestly.” Qualities that may appear unfashionable amid the glitz of the Premier League have made Burnley something of a role model.

Stéphane Blach, Camilo Guerra, Bernard Brasseur and Laurent Titeux are the overseas visitors for the Everton game. Work colleagues in Luxembourg, the four take in two Premier League matches over one weekend every year and have chosen Burnley for the second season running because, they insist, the atmosphere at Turf Moor is superior to most other stadiums visited. And because they love the Royal Dyche, renamed last year after a joke about celebrating the Burnley manager if he took the club into Europe became a promise. There can be no greater honour for the man whose face adorns the claret-and-sky-blue walls, the Henry VIII-style sign above the door and has even been carved into a tree stump in the beer garden.

“I don’t think we would have heard of Burnley if it wasn’t for the club being in the Premier League,” Guerra says. “We went to London for a few years, then Manchester and from there we discovered Burnley. It is amazing here. The people are super friendly.”

The four were staying in Manchester, where they watch City’s defeat by Wolves the day after Jeff Hendrick’s winner against Everton lifted Burnley briefly into fourth place in the richest league on the planet. Burnley cannot compete with Manchester or Liverpool as a draw for football tourists, nor does it measure itself that way, and the town centre is relatively quiet – numerous empty shops on St James’s Street reflecting problems nationwide – considering a Premier League game is an hour from kicking off nearby. Yet its football club continues to thrive, not merely survive.

Burnley’s Barnfield training ground, its pitches once prone to flooding, has been rebuilt and brought into the 21st century at a cost of more than £10m. The club’s last published accounts, for 2017-18, showed a record profit of £45m and no outstanding bank or directors’ loans. A turnover of £139m was the joint 13th highest in the Premier League and only two clubs had a smaller wage bill than Burnley’s £82m. Wages have since increased but to progress in a league where Manchester United’s turnover and wage bills were £590m and £296m respectively that same season, and to do so for four seasons (one season more than Jimmy Adamson’s team enjoyed in the top flight in the 1970s), is testament to the meticulous planning and decision-making of Dyche and the Burnley board.

“The main thing you have to get right as a chairman is to pick the right manager,” says Mike Garlick, the Burnley chairman. “If you do that you are halfway there at least. Sean has been key. We had Eddie Howe before that but location-wise it just didn’t suit Eddie and his family, so it didn’t quite work out. Another great manager.”

Mike Garlick is speaking in the London office of Michael Bailey Associates, the workforce project management and consulting company he founded in 1989 and now heads as its chief executive officer. His roots are unmistakably Burnley, however, and most of his fellow directors are from the area. The club’s success has been homegrown.

“I was born in the town, about 400 yards from the club,” the chairman Mike Garlick says. “I went to school there, then went to uni and came to London to seek my fortune. When I was 18 I told my dad I wanted to be chairman of Burnley one day. He said: ‘You must be bloody crackers son.’ It was a lifelong ambition to do this. I think one of the reasons we do so well is that myself and the other directors are all fairly local and we all really care. We are not there to pick up a wage. No director gets paid. You get a night in a hotel paid for but that’s it.

“I proudly state that I am the Premier League’s poorest owner. Everyone else is a billionaire, virtually. But I am proud of that and what we have achieved because we have had to sweat every asset both on and off the pitch to get the best from it.

“That means working really cleverly in the transfer market, looking for value – and if we don’t see that value we don’t buy. Sometimes that drives the fans up the wall but we have to have value in everything we do.

“It could be a young player that we think could do well for us and we could sell on for a profit or an older player we think could add value to the squad now. All we can do is live within our means. We don’t have the lowest budget in the Premier League any more – other clubs who have come up have a lower budget this season – but it is certainly not top half. I can’t go into real detail but we probably have the most aggressive bonus scheme in the league in terms of staying up and finishing higher up the Premier League. We stretch our players as much as we can on the pitch to achieve the best and if they do that they get the rewards.”

Garlick recoils at the suggestion that Burnley have established themselves in the Premier League. “No such thing,” he says but chairman and manager are clearly aligned on what Dyche described as the “incremental improvements” that must be made in a fiercely competitive field.

“Priority number one was the training ground,” the chairman Mike Garlick says. “Priority number two is probably to expand the corporate facilities because there is a long waiting list. One of the plans in the medium term is to build more executive boxes because we just haven’t got enough to meet demand. We are selling out every game … maybe refurb or rebuild some of the stands because some of them are quite ageing now but we will do it slowly. It has to be when the time is right for us but things will happen slowly but surely.”

One of the criticisms levelled at the Burnley board by supporters is their spending in the transfer market – or indeed, lack of – with Chris Wood and Ben Gibson the club’s joint record signings at £15m apiece.

“There are still challenges because we have to look at flexing the financial model because the game is outrunning us financially,” Dyche admits. “It is an ongoing challenge but if you looked at it on a piece of paper, about how to plan out a possible successful period, then I think we are a good model for how to build something.”

Mike Garlick says: “We have seen so many clubs locally who have fallen on hard times – Bolton, Bury, even Blackburn to a degree. The fans don’t want that to happen to our club, so I think they appreciate the sensible approach. But ultimately fans want to win things. I’m a fan, too. Managers always want to spend too because they are ambitious for themselves and for the club. We just have to be realistic, that’s all.

“We are a solid club now. We are profitable, financially healthy.

“Why can’t anyone else do it? I think it’s just sticking to your core principles and not wavering from them and getting all the key decisions, such as the manager, right. Getting the right players to fit in with the team. Sheffield United, I think, have done very well over the last few years. Norwich, they haven’t spent a lot of money. Huddersfield did it as well. It is possible.”

Back at the Royal Dyche, Justine Lorriman, the owner responsible for the pub’s transformation from the Princess Royal, is preparing for her regular 2.55pm sprint to Turf Moor for the Everton game. Lorriman, a lifelong Clarets fan who travelled to all three away Europa League qualifiers in 2018, will be back behind the bar before 5pm but measures the impact of four years in the Premier League on a much wider scale.

“If Burnley are winning and doing well it has a big impact on the morale of the town,” she says. “Little Burnley are doing well in the Premier League and people recognise that now when you go away. I wore my Burnley shirt in the Philippines and several people recognised it. Beating big teams like Chelsea [who they host on Saturday evening] helps you get recognised abroad.

“We had a few Norwich fans in here recently who loved what we have done. They were saying that we are role models to them, that we are the club they are looking to be like and it’s really nice. We get the cliche of ‘you’re just a long-ball team’, or they don’t like Sean Dyche, but the point is we are still here four years later. We are definitely doing something right. We are an example for small-town clubs.”

Mike Garlick: Nick Pope to Maintain a Mean Streak at Turf Moor

6:44 AM

The Clarets followed up their opening-day 3-0 win over Southampton with another comprehensive victory over the Canaries and Pope hopes that becomes a blueprint for the season after Norwich had no answer to the Clarets’ high-pressure game which produced both goals in a comfortable 2-0 victory.

“Everyone would say home form is massive in the Premier League,” said the Clarets’ keeper. “We’ve had a good start. That’s two out of three now and we’ll look to build on that and really make this place a place people don’t want to come.

“Norwich were on a high after their result last week, so it was a great result for us and a performance we put in that was at a great level. Like a few teams in this league, they like to play from the back. We are a team that likes to press high at times and get on the front foot. That’s what we like to do and cause them problems even when we haven’t got the ball. It’s something we looked to do and had worked on during the week, to try and win the ball high up the pitch and make that first pass forward and we created opportunities from that.”

Chris Wood was the beneficiary as he grabbed his first goals of the season with a quick-fire double to over-power a Norwich side which had beaten champions Manchester City a week earlier. And while Sean Dyche’s side – up to ninth in the Premier League table – could have won more emphatically, Pope still had an important part to play with a vital save from in-form striker Teemu Pukki when the scores were level.

“We’re delighted for Woody because he works so hard for the team,” added the England international. “As striker goals are what you look for and as a goalie, you look for clean sheets, so we were both happy. Early on in the game where we had started really well, it would have been a bit of a blow to us (to concede), so I was delighted to chip in and make a save and keep it at 0-0 and we scored within the next five or 10 minutes so it was a good start to the game.”

Mike Garlick interview: Burnley chairman on Clarets spending power, wage structure and outside investment

Burnley will have money to spend in the January transfer window while Clarets chairman Mike Garlick has also opened up on the potential for new investment in the club and revealed the club's wage structure strategy. Burnley have opened the new Premier League campaign with four points from four matches after a start which has included games against three of last season's top seven.

Boss Sean Dyche has a settled squad at Turf Moor with Erik Pieters the only one of the four senior summer signings to have started a league game with Jay Rodriguez a regular off the bench while Danny Drinkwater and Bailey Peacock-Farrell have yet to feature in the Premier League. With the top flight pausing for international football we took the opportunity to catch up with Clarets chairman Garlick.

In a revealing interview he speaks of his pride in Burnley's achievements over the past decade, praises the job Dyche has done and discusses the record breaking deal that didn't quite come off in the summer.

Money available. The Clarets will have money to spend in January, but they will only splash the cash if deals are right for the club. It is a mantra the club have followed in recent seasons and Garlick believes it is even more applicable in the winter window, when panic can set in. We try and progress every summer and come out of it stronger than we go into it," he said.

"January is always a bit tricky and can be a bit crazy but we go in with an open mind and if the opportunities are there then we will take them and if not we will leave it." He added: "Going into any particular one window we don't have any set amount that we have to spend so we keep a flexible model and when opportunities present themselves we try and grab them. “I think we’ll maintain the pattern. When we go into a window, we don’t have a pot of money and say ‘we must spend this’. “We have a pot of money and might spend it if the right opportunities arise. “We’re looking for value on players, and if we can find that, we spend it, if we don’t, we leave it."

The record breaker. It is no secret that Burnley were looking to, and did, add to their squad over the summer. The £10million spent on Jay Rodriguez was the biggest outlay but there were other targets that the Clarets missed out on.And Garlick believes the club are able to compete with a large proportion of the Premier League clubs on transfer fees and wages. On a potential club record deal which didn't quite come off, he said: "We went in for a player with a straight offer of £20million including add-ons.

"They didn't want to sell but there were a lot of clubs in for him but I think we put the highest offer in so it is not like we are not competing at that level for the top young talent, but it is still a lot of money. It (the market) changes in its shape and its challenge, this summer younger players, everyone was chasing them."

Burnley's wage budget, it's limits and where it's the best in the Premier League. Speaking of salaries, the Clarets chairman feels that Burnley are no longer being blown out of the water on wages. While the club will never be market leaders in a division dominated by the top six, Garlick revealed that Burnley have increased their wage budget, even if they won't be continuing to do so every year.

"We are at the low end but we are not the lowest," he said. There is a gap between us and some of the bigger clubs but the gap is not as big as it used to be. We’re near the bottom in terms of the wages we pay but we do have a very aggressive bonus structure, probably the most aggressive in the division. That incentivises the players and the management team to keep the team in the Premier League. We think that works very well for us, but there’s a lot of mid-table clubs who have a lot more money than us. When you combine the bonus structure with our wages we’re probably operating around where we should be. Wages have gone up from where we were one, two, three years ago, but there’s probably not much scope to push it any further overall. Obviously, you always have individual cases, but overall, it’s probably going to stay where it is now."

The Burnley model and the Clarets' surprising net spend of Premier League era. The financial problems down the road at Bury and Bolton Wanderers have brought home the vulnerability of football clubs. Garlick is steadfast in his approach that the future of the club must come first, and it is a welcome one when you see the troubles of others.

“We have to be sustainable in our actions financially, so something like that never happens to Burnley. We do make a profit. Profits will be slightly lower from where they were in previous years because we have had higher net spends on players. We’ve always spent a little bit more than we’ve brought in, whereas the last declared profits had the Andre Gray and Michael Keane sales, last year we didn’t have as much of that, sold Vokesy in the end, and finished lower. Since we got promoted to the Premier League, under Sean, in 2014, we’ve had a net spend of £87.5m. I don’t know if people realise that, some people might think we’ve broken even, we haven’t. When you add it up, it’s a lot of money."

The potential for outside investment. One way for the Clarets to jump forward in terms of wages and spending power is to bring in outside investment. Garlick is open to the possibility of new investors getting involved with the club, but only in the right manner. He said: "I think if someone came in and they wanted to invest and they did it in a sustainable way so if they did lose interest we wouldn't be in trouble then you would always consider it but we have never had that knock on the door and there is nothing imminent."

The off field success and what's next. Burnley have constructed a training ground that is up there with the best in the Premier League while the new disabled facilities are up and running at Turf Moor. Next on the agenda could be redeveloping the Cricket Field Stand, half a century old, as the Clarets continue to seek to improve the infrastructure."It never stand still, there is always money that needs to be spent every year," said Garlick.

"Just to maintain what we have got costs millions, not just a few hundred grand. Barnfield plus the disabled fac ilities plus the general upgrades have been well over £20million.The Cricket Field Stand is 50 years old this year so something is going to have to be done at some point but it is picking our moment really and maybe combining it with some sort of sponsorship so that we can mitigate some of the cost. When we developed the other two stands it was the time to do it because we got grants and things, they stood us, I think, at about £4million net and they would be £20million now."

The Dyche factor and Premier League aims. Sean Dyche has brought a level of success to Burnley not seen in generations. He took charge of a mid table Championship club almost seven years ago and within 18 months had them in the top flight. Relegation followed but then came a league title, Premier League safety and a European campaign. It is a fine record and one that Garlick is proud of, and staying in the division remains the main ambition - at least from the boardroom.

"We budget to finish fourth bottom every year, to be around the bottom end, but to survive," said Garlick who said the club had not received a single enquiry for Dyche's services during his Turf tenure.That’s what we do our plan on. Anything above survival is a fantastic bonus for us, from a financial perspective. Looking back, when we first got promoted in 2009, I think we were just glad to be there, just making it there was the real celebration.If someone had said then ‘you’re going to be there for five years out of the next six’ or whatever, I’m not saying I wouldn’t believe them, but that would be really amazing. And it is."

“Great thanks to Sean and his team, everyone at the club has put in a great deal of effort, we’ve managed to keep sensible but keep pushing it forward every year, and that’s why we are where we are. The Clarets are now entering their fourth successive season in the top flight and fifth in six years, but despite that consistency, Garlick is wary of believing Burnley are established in the Premier League.

He added: “In my mind, the real established clubs are the big six, once you strip that out any of the other 14, if they’re having a bad run, could go down. So we don’t want to get too carried away and think we’re established, we’ve got to be competitive every year to stay in this division. Every year is a challenge and brings new challenges, new players arrive, old ones go, you throw that in the mix and we get out on the pitch and do the best we can.We managed to marginally strengthen over the summer with the players we brought in, so I think we’ve got a decent squad, and after a good start we can push on and keep going."

Clarets still keen to strengthen ahead of deadline day

Twenty four little hours - it is all that remains of the summer transfer window. It could be a busy day for Burnley, who begin the Premier League season at home to Southampton on Saturday. The Clarets added Jay Rodriguez and Erik Pieters earlier in the window and completed a move for goalkeeper Bailey-Peacock Farrell having allowed Tom Heaton to join Aston Villa for around £8million.

Sean Dyche would still like to further strengthen if the right player at the right price becomes available while he has insisted all summer that any departures will be done on the club's terms and the future of James Tarkowski has been the main talking point in recent days while there has also been speculation regarding the futures of Kevin Long and Matej Vydra. We take a look at the issues that might crop up before the window closes.

Tarkowski. The Burnley center-back has been linked with a move to Leicester City and is highly thought of by Brendan Rodgers. But, the Foxes are not prepared to go above £30million for the 26-year-old despite selling Harry Maguire to Manchester United for £80million earlier this week. The Clarets value Tarkowski higher than that and Leicester is unlikely to return with a new offer so it seems as though, as things stand, he will be staying at Turf Moor.

The defense. The Tarkowski situation has led to Burnley being linked with a host of defenders in recent days. The club is long-term admirers of Dael Fry at Middlesbrough and offered £8million for the center-back earlier this week. The Championship club wants around double that before entertaining a deal and at this stage, it looks as though the Clarets will take a step back.

Kevin Long has attracted interest from the Championship but the Clarets would be unwilling to allow him to leave without having a fourth center-back option. Given that there is only 24 hours left it seems increasingly likely that the four center-halves will remain unchanged at Turf Moor.

Midfield additions. The centre of the park has been Burnley's main priority this summer but as of yet, they have not managed to secure a signing. The Clarets haven't given up on bolstering the midfield and are interested in Chelsea's Danny Drinkwater on loan.

Deals for Kalvin Phillips at Leeds and Victor Camarasa at Real Betis are unlikely with the latter close to joining Crystal Palace. And with the Clarets having Jack Cork, Ashley Westwood, and Jeff Hendrick as senior central options in the absence of the injured Steven Defour, Burnley will continue to search for the right deal to supplement the squad.

Any other business. Joe Hart has been linked with a move away from all summer and with Nick Pope entrenched as No.1, there is a chance the former England star will leave Turf Moor with Bailey Peacock-Farrell having arrived from Leeds United to further swell the keeper ranks. But, with the Clarets able to sell players to European clubs past the deadline a deal for the 32-year-old could be done after tomorrow.

Burnley could be set to make a move for Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell

The Lancashire side have reportedly told goalkeeper Tom Heaton that he will be allowed to leave if their newly promoted Aston Villa make an improved offer for the stopper, while Joe Hart is also set to depart Turf Moor in the current transfer window.That would leave Nick Pope as the club’s first choice ‘keeper, with the club expected to move for Peacock-Farrell as their new second choice between the posts for Sean Dyche’s side.

Peacock-Farrell, who graduated through Leeds’ youth system, has made a total of 41 appearances in all competitions for the Elland Road side. The 22-year-old Northern Ireland international has just 12 months remaining on his contract with the Yorkshire side, something which could put Leeds under pressure should an offer come in for him.

If Leeds do lose Peacock-Farrell to Burnley, that would leave Kiko Casilla – who usurped the 22-year-old as the club’s number one following his arrival from Real Madrid in January – as the club’s only senipr goalkeeping option.

The Verdict

This will be a big concern for Leeds. With Pontus Jansson having already left the club and rumours around both Kalvin Phillips and Kemar Roofe continuing to circulate, the news of interest in another player who could be key to their plans for next season.

Given the comparative performances of Peacock-Farrel and Casilla for Leeds last season, you would have made a strong case for the young Northern Irishman reclaiming the number one spot between the posts heading into the new campaign, prior to these latest rumours emerging.

It would be hard to begrudge Peacock-Farrell the chance of a move to the Premier League, and the Leeds may know be ruing the fact that he has yet to be tied to a new contract at Elland Road, which could force them sell in order to avoid losing him for nothing this time next year.

Burnley's Dwight McNeil bids to shine for England Under-20s

12:04 AM

Dwight McNeil is looking to finish a memorable campaign by shining in his first international tournament.

The Burnley winger has been called up for the England Under-20s as the Three Lions look to win the Maurice Revello Toulon Tournament which starts on Saturday. The 19-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season at Turf Moor, scoring three goals in 25 appearances.

Having trained with Gareth Southgate's senior squad and played for the Under-20s in March, McNeil will be hoping to help England to success in Provence over the next couple of weeks. “Again, it’s a new experience for me," said the teenager, part of Paul Simpson's 21-man squad. "It’s something to look forward to and hopefully I’ll take it in my stride. Playing tournament football against different types of teams will be something completely different. I think we have one or two new faces in the squad, and it will be good to be involved again."

“You want to keep pushing yourself and you never know what can happen in the future.I know England have won the tournament for the last two or three years. People might say that creates pressure, but I don’t think so.It just gives you an incentive to try and win it again.”

England open up against Japan this Saturday, June 1 then face Portugal on June 4 and Chile on June 8 in their group as they look to reach the knockout stages.

“This is the perfect end," McNeil told the Clarets' website. It’s been an amazing season – life-changing really. Looking back at it, I was playing regularly for the Under-23s and then after playing at Sheffield United just before Christmas I didn’t play again. I got the chance in the first team and I think I took it. It was a great second half of the season. But it’s only a start. I’ve got to build on it again next season.

“Playing over the summer will be another experience and it should also help me come back fitter when I come back to Burnley. It’s win-win.The prestigious Toulon tournament, now in its 47th year, also includes Brazil, France, Guatemala, Qatar, Bahrain, China, Mexico and the Republic of Ireland and concludes on June 15.
