What a basket case You’d have to admit there’s a fair amount of tribalism on the board. People are quick to align themselves with others of a likeminded orientation and dismiss all others. 70% of the board is the blind leading the blind. Then there’s the swing vote, their input is determined by the...

I think the last paragraph is quite telling (considering some of the above comments). I think that statement is designed to offset the impending fan action(s). It’s a precursor to paving a settled path for either bud being successful. It’s a smart move by the board, and it proves to alienate/call o...

Whilst I'd generally agree with you, I'd quite honestly be absolutely shocked if Barry Kilby saw it that was where BFC are involved, but I do accept that his influence is very limited these days re the direction of the club. I think the board are in open rebellion with each other at the moment. Eac...

The board is full of Burnley fans I’m sure they are all aware of the damage currently being created and will look to bring the takeover to a speedy completion. Otherwise if they aren’t going to sell I’m sure there will be a plan in place to back the manager in the notoriously difficult January wind...

The only conspiracy theory we haven't had yet is that your been paid by Farnell and pals to spread good news about them

That’s a brilliant rumour.

I am not on the payroll, it’s not my deal.

Danieljwaterhouse

Where have we got to with the craziness then?

Danieljwaterhouse

We didn't need to sell him or anybody according to Sean. If any club had met our valuation then I suspect we would have seen a departure or two. Players come and go, some will leave on better terms with fans than others. As I have said previously, there was a value attached, it was met, the manager...

Danieljwaterhouse

You are seriously suggesting that Southgate is not picking him for England just because he plays for Burnley ? Unbelievable :roll: Absolutely the case. Quality defender, playing in a system that is alien to the national setup. He doesn’t need to worry about players running in behind in our setup fo...

Can someone please explain to me, why, just because a billionaire is ‘local’ or because they’re from the North West fans feel they should be investing into BFC?

Danieljwaterhouse

I believe both have merits and both have concerns for BFC and the wider communities. I believe there are viable conclusions for both parties and a possible third party bid that I understand has been dismissed out of hand. If I was casting a vote, and not knowing the intricacies of both deals, I woul...

Danieljwaterhouse

Neither bid would asset strip the club... To suggest that they would is absolutely ludicrous. They’re both bidding for a seat at the top table and all the spoils and voting rights that go with that. In a very simple and understated manner: One is a state funded acquisition that is an extension of th...

I got absolutely ripped for suggesting this was a deal that was about to be done in the summer window (injury or not).

Loan with an option to buy

Danieljwaterhouse

Psst....the supporters stake in my proposal would be provided for by the outgoing shateholders who professed to be custodians of the Club. They would provide a legacy for supporters rather than trousering 100% of the huge unexpected profits from their initially noble cause. I recognise the difficul...

Danieljwaterhouse

I think we have very different ideas on what it is to support a football club CP. I want to watch us play rather than consider the negative leverage on future viewing rights. I would prefer to see the opportunitues from having a supporters voice on the Board, rather than worry about the impact on t...

I got given equity in a business when I was just a salaried employee.

I’m surprised you’re surprised at this. It’s very, very common.

I’m not surprised, at all. Yet, I thought the context to this conversation and the premise of this message board is football.

Danieljwaterhouse

As far as conspiracies go that is ridiculous.

Why would I as a company owner give any equity in my business, to an employee, who is paid a remuneration for their work?

Danieljwaterhouse

Where is the evidence they are asset strippers? If they are paying £200m, what margin do You think there is in asset stripping the club? Do asset strippers often take over a healthy business to strip it down? Not often but yes it happens. In a falling market with a recession almost guaranteed, noth...

I would be more concerned with how they plan to raise revenues to maintain a sustainable business model for the club, given that it has been commonly held to be very well run, yet has struggled to grow them to meet the demands of the manager.

This is a concern I share.

Danieljwaterhouse

You can’t refute an accurate report.

Danieljwaterhouse

It has been my line of greatest hope since it became evident that this bid was a front for some other MENA (Middle East/North Africa) entity. I have posted mountains of information on the proxy wars being fought in football by states in this region on the MMT thread over the years including specula...

Danieljwaterhouse

Daniel That’s nonsense! If the Egyptian State are behind the deal which ministry or state bank or investment fund is behind it. ? Doesn’t have to be cloak and dagger. Who does Me Kashashy work for. If it’s someone trying to invest the states money illegally then deal will fail as Chester says under...

Danieljwaterhouse

There’s been threads throughout the last year, this one has a lot of information on, there’s some in the transfer thread, Chesters, and so on.

Agreed, Clansman.
No need for any cloak and dagger tactics from either party.
The ones being most transparent and honest for me, please.

You’ve obviously never bought, sold or brokered any sort of sale/purchase.

Business is ALL cloak and dagger

Danieljwaterhouse

At the risk of repetition Mr El Kashashy appears to be let’s say economical with the truth about his background and business interests. His linked-in page says he is managing partner of Beta-Infra based in USE and Uk. No such company exists either in UK Egypt or UAE I found a website page for a law...

Danieljwaterhouse

I mentioned it a long while back, you’ve got to consider any investment from Egypt as state backed. There’s a power struggle in the Middle East.

This is no surprise and has been covered in the pages before, at length. This deal came in when the ALK deal hit the headlines.

As I stated a few pages ago! This isn’t over and ALK are still very much in this process.

As I stated a few pages before that, ALK had stalled and another deal had come to the table via a board member.

Danieljwaterhouse

That list is horrific. But in what capacity was he acting in for each of those clubs? Again, I’m not defending the bloke, I’d just like to know actual facts. Because why would our board even consider dealing with someone as ‘dangerous’ as he’s been painted on here? He’s a sports lawyer who has been...

So do you have reservations on the prospective owners ?

Nope, I think there has been enough due diligence done to ensure it’s a good deal.

The premier league is stringent, as are the other owners in the league about prospective owners. They’ve certainly learnt their lessons from past incidents.

Danieljwaterhouse

Few people who are now showing their true colours, now there's more in the media. This party came to jump ALK, hence why it came out in the media at that particular time. They’ve been championed by one particular board room member. If you think that anything we do as fans will derail this deal, you’...

Scouse claret to apologise

Danieljwaterhouse

I will also apologise for my part. I initially felt I had to highlight the hypocrisy of posters who are quick to shout, belittle and bully others but then don’t take responsibility for their actions.

Danieljwaterhouse

No, not what you said at all. You said posts, not post and you referred to last night. Absolutely nothing has been removed from last night. Just about everything you said was incorrect and has served to do no more than trying to disrupt the board. Wow. As much as I value this board and the role you...

The only post removed was this morning when someone removed their own post which they are able to do for a limited time. Despite your suggestions, no posts from last night have been removed.

So a post was removed, and it wasn’t the moderators, it was someone regretting a post.

As I said....

You could've quite easily just typed "I’ve heard a rumour that Dwight is leaving. I don't know whether it's true or not". Instead, you chose to state it as fact.

You’re a tiresome individual.

Problem is people posting nonsense such as the Tarky at Leicester. Then others actually believe it but others call it out because it is nonsense. Then we have people who do know things who sensibly don’t go rushing to a message board to tell people. And then we have people who are just as well info...

Danieljwaterhouse

This alludes to the info I got a hammering for.

I said that I had been told that bids had been accepted without Dyche knowing, to the point one was at someone else’s training ground, and that they’re was a point when he was walking if they were sold.

A polarising issue has descended into shuthousery of the highest order.

What annoys people is when they pretend to know something, when they are clearly making it up. I ask Tony to ban them, as it's a pain in the backside. But, if you genuinely believe that something has happened, then post it. I've no problem with that. Exactly. We’d all be surprised how many transfer...

It’s fair game to rip someone when they insinuate that they’re in the know, when they’re clearly not. No point getting worked up about it. I’m sure those that do this expect comeback. Absolutely!

What did he actually tell us except what was already in the public domain? Most of what he posted was just speculation about what the potential acquirer’s motivations might be, which I for one don’t buy at all.

The club is obviously either for sale or looking for investment. You don’t post books like those year in year out for ego, you post them because the club needs to be in its most attractive state to go to market! I’d say we will be gone in summer 2020 to a new owner. I’d suggest it’ll be an American...
