Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover

I very much doubt that ALK will buy a club like Burnley to run it into the ground and with the relationship between Garlick and SD apparently not great then things can only get better. Only time will tell but I'm cautiously optimistic about this.

At the end of the day,a takeover might not change anything regardless of who stays in charge unless they are prepared to invest money in the club itself for transfers and a better squad. £200m going into the pockets of directors and shareholders will change nothing without further investment.
