Historically and today they are a bigger club

Well since WW2 they definitely aren't. Equal major honours since then but our historical crowds dwarf theirs.

You’ve got to think about potential injuries etc, who knows what’s round the corner. If it’s a life changing wage and we get a good price, begrudgingly he’ll go with my blessing (he’ll be pleased to hear I’m sure)
Fair point.

Back in the late 50s early 60s Burnley we’re conistantly in the top three battling with Man U. Wolves and Spurs at the top. as the 60s progressed and more finance came in the game they fell away to the big city clubs

And in the 80s they were averaging around 2-3000 for years in the bottom tier.

Weren’t they a couple of minutes of going out of the EFL, didn’t their goalkeeper score a last minute goal to save them from that dreaded drop, they have been a real roller coaster club over the years.

Since WW2 burnley won the top flight twice and had 30 consecutive seasons in the top flight - they’ve been in the top flight as much as we have since WW2

if it’s crowds that determine the definition Sunderland are twice as big as us

They haven't. They've won it once since WW2. Won nothing else. They were a mess in the 80s and spent years with crowds as small as our average away following last year.

We've both had exactly 34 years each in the top flight since WW2.
