Peter Reid for Burnley?

This particular newspaper, who seem to love sticking a spoke in our wheel, are suggesting that the former Manchester City, Sunderland, Leeds and Coventry boss is heading a consortium that is looking to takeover our club.

I'm sure there have been times over recent years when any such suggestion might have been considered possible, particularly during the dark days after the crash of ITV Digital, but our club is now in the best position it has been in for many years.

We've taken new directors on board, we've had further investment, and we've got a plan to take the club forward with those plans expected to be revealed within the next two weeks. There appears to be no possibility of us being sold under any circumstances and certainly not by a consortium that looks to be getting an unemployed manager back into work.

As some have said - it is Floodmania now at Turf Moor and there's no vacancy for a man with a monkey's heid.
