Premier League

Welcome to the Clarets fan blog. For all Clarets supporters out there and football fans alike. Get involved by showing love on my channel and following my posts about Burnley FC. Goalkeeper Nick Pope is ready to keep seizing the moment as the Clarets target a memorable end to the season. Nick Pope also believes that Burnley can improve more their impressive clean sheet record further as they push for Europe in the final four games of the Premier League season.

The 28-year-old's closest rival for the accolade, Liverpool's Alisson, who he'll meet at Anfield on Saturday, is now one behind after Leandro Trossard found the net for Brighton at the Amex Stadium.

Pope was given plenty to do on his way to earning his latest blank. He kept out efforts from Tomas Soucek, Michail Antonio and Andriy Yarmolenko in the first half and then made an exceptional stop to deny substitiute Sebastien Haller in the second.

Clarets have also put 10 points on the board since resuming after lockdown and with just one defeat in 12 league games stretching back to January are one of the form teams of the division.

With four games to go, Burnley are five points shy of their highest tally as a Premier League club.
Despite injuries, departures and speculations, the Turf Moor men continue to defy the odds to ensure an interesting end to the season ison the cards.

Welcome to the Clarets fan blog. For all Clarets supporters out there and football fans alike. Get involved by showing love on my channel and following my posts about Burnley FC. After more than a week of non-contact training built around fitness work in small ‘pods’ of players on separate pitches, clubs have now been given the all-clear to adopt stage two of the league’s ‘Return To Training Protocol’.

The implementation of the policy, following talks with government officials, players, management and representative bodies, means squads will now be able to train as a group and engage in tackling.
And with the Premier League moving towards setting a date for a resumption of the fixture list, Taylor sees the latest development as a key phase towards playing again.

The Clarets returned to their Barnfield training ground on 19 May following a first round of testing for the Covid-19 virus and have since had two further sets of test results in line with the rest of the Premier League.

The players were restricted to working in the same groups during phase one of the protocol with Taylor in a ‘pod’ alongside Ashley Westwood, Jeff Hendrick, Robbie Brady and skipper Ben Mee.
And Taylor believes the regime they have been following will have them ready to hit the ground running when a resumption of the league programme is given the go-ahead.

Details on how the rest of the season – which will involve a total of 92 matches – will be structured are expected to be announced soon, with a start and finish date and how many mid-week games will be played. For the first time, English football will take place through the summer months but Taylor is not complaining as the Clarets try and chase a top-10 finish in the Premier League for only the second time.

“Things are different but everyone has really knuckled down where we are and everyone has got their mind on it, focused on what we need to do and just making the best situation of what’s currently happening in the world.

“We are desperate to play and hopefully it will be a huge boost to everyone.

“We’ve got nine games left and we’re just desperate to crack on and get the season finished and see how far we can get and how high up the league we can go.

“Before the lockdown we were on a great run and there’s no reason why we can’t carry that on.”

Welcome to the Clarets fan blog. For all Clarets supporters out there and football fans alike. Get involved by showing love on my channel and following my posts about Burnley FC. Burnley Football Club recorded a net profit for a third successive season during the financial year ending June 2019.

The figure was down on the record profit of £36.6m (£45m pre-tax) recorded for the previous 12 months, due largely to a higher net spend on new players of approximately £20m compared to the previous year where the sales of Andre Gray and Michael Keane boosted profitability considerably.

Chairman Mike Garlick said: “In the second half of the season we also invested heavily in our recruitment and scouting set-up, more than tripling the number of full-time staff. We are confident that this increased investment will slowly but surely develop our ability to identify and sign players that can improve our first-team squad, whilst at the same time helping to maintain our financial sustainability as a club for generations to come.”

Mike Garlick: “Following our spectacular seventh-place finish in the 2017/18 season, we embarked on our first season in Europe in over 50 years - something, which I’m sure most of us, a few years ago, though we would never see again. Combining our European adventure with the weekly fixture programme of the Premier League proved highly challenging.

“But following a highly successful second half of the season, we managed to slowly but steadily climb up the table to a respectable finish and secure our fourth consecutive season of top-flight football for the first time in 50 years.

“I would like to thank all our staff for their continued hard work and commitment and all our fans for their unwavering support and passion. You all help to make a difference. The future is extremely bright for all of us, although in the short term we know we all face unique challenges brought about by the coronavirus pandemic."

"Issuing the club accounts is a legal requirement but our immediate thoughts are with those dealing with the effects of the current on-going situation. We are working closely with the Premier League and the relevant authorities regarding footballing matters, while off the field making sure the club continues to operate effectively and all staff, family, and fans stay as safe and healthy and well supported as possible.

“We also urge you to follow all Government guidelines in trying to restrict the spread of the virus and by doing so look forward to the day when we can all meet again at Turf Moor and celebrate playing football in a safe environment.”

Welcome to Mike Garlick's blog. Mike Garlick is the Chairman of Burnley FC. The Football Association has confirmed that from Tier 3 of the Women’s Football Pyramid downwards the 2019/20 season will end with immediate effect – meaning an end to Burnley FC Women’s hopes of a third successive promotion. The announcement came as the FA has been working collaboratively with the National League System (NLS), the women’s football pyramid and the wider grassroots game since the outbreak of COVID-19 to decide on how to conclude the 2019-20 season in the most appropriate way possible.

From this, The FA, FA Women’s Board members, and the Women’s Football Conference consulted and reached a consensus to bring the season to an immediate end and all results will be expunged. This will mean no promotion or relegation of clubs between tiers three to seven.  Learn more about Mike Garlick the Chairman of Burnley FC here.
