Right now that’s done, come on Luton

Burnley have been on the wrong end of loads of decisions this season. They think it’s all a conspiracy against them and the smaller teams. That’ll be us next season after all this legal action against the Premier League.
 
I've lost track a little bit...but I'm not sure we've taken legal action against the Premier League, only the Football League.
 
I thought it was both of them but you’re right it’s complex and it’s easy to lose track of what’s going on.

I thought we’d taken legal action against the Premier League to take one for the team and ask for full transparency for all teams, including Man City and Chelsea and to fight for the smaller team pushing for Europe.
 
I was looking at the Ipswich forum and they and others have properly got it in for us
Cheating bastard's an all that apparently.
Deluded fools, they don't realise the bigger picture that it's not Leicester, Forest and Everton who are the enemy, it's the BCC's and lawmakers who are prohibiting the rest of us.
Ipswich will soon realise that when you are in the Prem you are there to make up the numbers.
Ipswich will take their team up with a few additions, but they'll soon find what worked well in the championship will be inadequate for the Premier League.
Then they will try and recruit better players ( more expensive and on fatter contracts ) to stay up.
It's at that point they will realise that a £35M loss doesn't get you very far when you want to strengthen.
The Premier League is a conveyor belt for average clubs trying to stay in it, thanks to the stitch up to protect the BCC's.
There is no chance of growing and challenging the elite and when you run out of star assets to sell and balance the books you are fucked.
One day these bitter and twisted fans might twig it.
 
Even if we wanted to be compliant this season we couldn’t have been. Nobody wanted to sign our players given the high contracts we have with them even if we were to give them away.

What are we to do, sack them and face law suits for unfair dismissal?

Make them redundant? Well then we cannot sign another football player for a period of time, 2 years I think.

Remember for a good few years we’ve been pushing for and playing in Europe. Winning trophies. Leeds only had a couple of seasons in the Premier League before going down again and hardly set the world alight. Ipswich have been down in the third tier for how many seasons? They’ll soon learn.

I’m not condoning us breaking the rules, whatever punishment we get we will take and get on with. But they are flawed.

Absolutely, if we broke the rules then we broke the rules, I'm sure nobody will deny that.
It's these dimwits though that channel their anger in the wrong direction.
It's not just Leicester, it's about 90% of all the Professional clubs in England who are being suppressed by the constricting rules.
Said it many times that the monopolies commission should investigate the unfairness of it all.
 
Ironically these whingers on the Ipswich site should know that their owners are 3 x wealthier than Top.
Ipswich have been in League 1 and the Championship where it doesn't matter so much because the finances are on a much smaller scale.
In the Prem it's just a slippery pole and that no matter how ambitious their money allows them to be, they won't be able to use the vast majority of it because of the constraints.
Perhaps when they realise that they can't utilise their owners wealth and they themselves are in the same battle as Leicester and other clubs, then maybe they will realise that they are picking the wrong fight.
