    A disappointing 2025-26 Premier League season has come to an end for the Clarets.

    The next campaign will begin in the Championship with top-flight clubs keen to secure cut-price deals for relegated players.

    Which players do you think Burnley need to keep if they are to ensure their return to the second tier is a brief one? And who would be the ones to cash in on?

  20. 'I feel so very numb... 0/10' - season report card

    Season score out of 10 and overriding emotion?

    0/10. I just feel so very numb at the moment, and very disconnected from football. We seem to have lost our identity completely - even our shirts have turned into a shade of purple now, rather than Claret. I am struggling to see what we are trying to be. Our recruitment has been haphazard, our managerial decisions baffling, and each Premier League campaign has got steadily worse since ALK took over the club, both in terms of points and league positions. "Forever forward" is ALK's new motto for the club: perhaps that is the case in terms of commercial offering, but on the pitch we are going backwards.

    Best moment and why

    I take absolutely no pleasure in saying this, but Scott Parker leaving his role as head coach. It was becoming an impossible position for him to be in, and the club should have put him and us out of our misery much earlier than this. When that announcement was made, there seemed to be a collective sigh of relief. But what a waste of a season.

    Player of season and why

    A very close tie between Zian Flemming and Jaidon Anthony - the former for his goals, and the latter for being probably the only player in the squad to show real effort consistently. He seems like one of the few who wants to be here and cares.

    Unsung hero and why

    Ross Wallace, for stepping up to be caretaker manager of the women's team, and overseeing a title and promotion to WSL2. The only good news of this season.

    Biggest disappointment

    Pretty much everything about the entire season has been a disappointment, no more so than our pitiful displays in both cup competitions. But one that stung a little was the early injury to Josh Cullen. We missed his leadership skills and talent in the team and, while it may not have caused a disappointment to the overall results, his voice as club captain would have helped bridge that growing disconnection between club and fans.

    What needs to change this summer?

    The whole club needs to change because we are so very lost at the moment. We need to start again from scratch.

    Major hope for next season?

    We get our managerial appointment right.

  23. Fans 'deserve a lot more' - Unsworth

    Former Burnley centre-back David Unsworth on BBC Radio Lancashire: "Unfortunately, it is Championship football as we have known for some time now.

    "A massive rebuild is needed, not just in terms of trying to bounce back up next season, but by trying to build a team and squad that doesn't need major surgery if they do get promoted.

    "We need to decide on who is going to be the manager – how many weeks has it been and nothing has been done? Massive decisions on who is coming, staying or leaving.

    "I was thinking if I was a Burnley fan coming to the ground, what would I want? I read the owner's [Alan Pace] programme notes, and he touched on the manager.

    "I want something more. I want a clear plan. I want him to come out and demand success. It was all about hard work and desire. That is a given for any player, in any team. You shouldn't even have to ask that.

    "I want to see a clear vision, I want to see a strategy out in place, I want to see great recruitment. I want to see this team bounce back up and stay there.

    "I just want more – these fans have been brilliant all season. They have stuck by the team despite all the losses.

    "I think they deserve a lot more than what they're getting.

    "They have got to get somebody in and there are no guarantees, it doesn't matter who it is.

    "Someone who the fans can get right behind, someone with real stature that can come into this great football club and have an immediate reaction and also attract top players not only to get them up, but to keep them up when they get back into the Premier League."
