CB Fry Posted 12 January, 2010 Share Posted 12 January, 2010 Seriously, if Burnley appoint Brian Laws I will eat my garage. Looks pretty much there by all accounts. Burnley refusing to pay compensation to Doncaster Rovers for their manager so have gone for the spectacularly cheap and staggering option, Laws. And this is supposed to be a Premier League club. Pathetic, but then there are too many non entity clubs in the League at the moment. Laws may prove us all wrong, but I can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWD Posted 12 January, 2010 Share Posted 12 January, 2010 Bizarre appointment really. Still at least it wont effect the stocky transfer so im pleased. Wouldnt be surprised if there is one hell of a backlash from Burnleh fans tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Lungs Posted 12 January, 2010 Share Posted 12 January, 2010 Laws will be fine, he'll probably do a 'Megson' type job at Burnley and will then be booted out a couple of years down the line. Personally I would have gone for O'Driscoll whatever the cost, but meh. Oh, and I almost forgot.... hurry up and sign, Stocky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 14 January, 2010 Share Posted 14 January, 2010 Laws was a strange choice for Burnley BUT it's good to see a Premier League team not splash out above their means. Granted, it could mean they go down this season, but at least they won't have spiralling financial debts that haunt them for years. I always though one of the reasons WBA manage to be a yoyo club between the top two divisions is because they don't spend beyond their means.

sotonjoe Posted 17 January, 2010 Share Posted 17 January, 2010 One thing that sticks in my mind was that when I communicated with Stock last week he said the move "looks likely". I don't think he would have said that unless the clubs had already had some discussion about fees and I would hope that Pards' bringing the discussion into the public is merely a deliberate tactic to try and get the finer parts of the negotiating done. One thing's for sure, Stock is not going to come cheap. I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be our most expensive signing under Pardew.

Donny Saint Posted 17 January, 2010 Share Posted 17 January, 2010 I expect it's just a rumour resulting from PArds' comments to Solent that "our valuations are somewhat different". My neighbour is a big Donny fan (has a season ticket) and he says that Donny are asking £1.75m + SG for Stock. Whether it's true or not, I don't know. Guess we'll wait and see.

Whether it's true or not, I don't know. Guess we'll wait and see. I guess that might not be too far off the mark but things get complicated if Stock really is out of contract at the end of the season. If he's saying that he wants to sign for Saints and that he will not sign a new contract with Doncaster, surely he has little value. We don't know if he is saying this, but his desire and his contractual status will have a significant effect upon the valuation each club puts on his head.

CB Fry Posted 17 January, 2010 Share Posted 17 January, 2010 It's going to be a deadline day deal then. Doncaster will have a choice - £1m (or whatever our final offer is) from us, or nothing in the summer. I think they need the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted something similar last night on another thread. This is the beginning of the process, not the end; Pardew has put it out there - Stock knows, Donny know, we know, all of football knows. Either they deal, or he goes for nothing in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
