Does anyone have any sympathy for Burnley? Small club did well for years with an ageing squad and questionable tactics - reminds me of Palace under Roy! Now they have 9 players out of contract - 8 of which are over 30. The only decent one is James Tarkowski who will clearly go to a West Ham or Newcastle on a free. The 2 decent players they have a Comet (who supposedly has a release clause) and McNeil who's had a poor season. Supposedly they also have to pay back a massive loan. Not looking good. In terms of Everton in addition to FFS, what happened to a ban for Richarlison after throwing the flare into the crowd? Surely based on previous ones for Carragher etc that's a definite suspension?? Not especially...but....the way the finances were structured that enabled their recent takeover is going to leave that club in dire straights. And here I call the EPL's compliance in respect of club ownership into question yet again. I have no confidence in the footballing authorities - that's the FA, EPL and EFL. The argument for an Independent Regulator, with no conflicts of interest, is becoming more compelling. Those aforementioned authorities cannot be trusted as often the issues - such as the administration of FFP - are of their own making. Which in turn leads to nothing tangible being done. Man City still under investigation that is now in its third year. Chelsea being able to ' borrow ' £1.5b, Everton surely in breach of the FFP rules. Do you trust the EPL to do the right thing ?

Nick Pope, Weghorst and Brownhill would also likely command decent fees, but that really is about it. They certainly don't have a £40/50m player in their squad they can sell to balance the books. I think of those three Pope will go. He's a very good keeper and Everton and Newcastle might have a look at him. Cornet has been good in patches, but he has not been consistent. McNeil is a great player in the wrong team and I'd be surprised if someone doesn't try and strike a deal. The rest of the squad looks like an average Championship one.
