Friday, February 10, 2012 at 05:35 PMi feel sad that Barry Kilby ,One of the most respected Chairmen of the football league ,has to leave the club prematurely because of illness . As a distant Burnley supporter , I am aware the splendid work he did for Burnley to rise again among the most successful clubs . Burnley slumbered in lower divisions for 33 years , He was the man that push the club to promotion to Premier League . Had there not been a Judas among us , Burnley would have remained in the Premier League . We are all aware that Burnley are not a rich club . Inspite of it they have managed well financially and the credit goes to Barry Kilby .We have petals of praise to shower on him . We wish well .
