    For anyone that has access to Sky Documentaries this is the story of Burnley FC from 2021 to now
    From sacking Dyche to relegation from the Prem, American owners, and the path back
    Well worth a watch
    4 part series of an hour a time

    Bored of these, and the story of Burnley holds zero interest to me, but each to their own.

    I have no real interest in the place or in their team.

    But what I found interesting about the programme is how the owners and Manager worked very closely together to achieve a swift return to the top, and how a fairly small town like Burnley, with a population of just 90,000 is able to see regular Premiership football and enjoy success, while we, with a population of half a million or more, haven’t seen top flight football here in over 40 years.

    I’m watching Ted Lasso on Apple TV at the moment. On series 2.
    Lighthearted fun and very entertaining.
