I think he gets most things right. Always good to have a fan looking after the clubs interests in the press.

I've no idea how long things take to be honest but I don't think they will be using Farnell for legal matters. Then any potential change of ownership which brings new directors will be required to pass the Owners & Directors test.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
Well I suppose we will see who knows what today. DJW reckoning short of last minute wrangling today is the day, CT’s info says we are some way off that stage with ODT still to be completed which can take some time.

Cork, Bardsley and Brady will all be back fit in 4 weeks time, they'll be like 3 new signings.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
My speculation derives from what has happened in the past to other smaller clubs that have been sold. Some fans bemoan the lack of investment in the squad by the current board, who are clearly struggling to balance the books in the current climate. The only way to improve our situation on the field, is to improve the squad, which takes money. A lot of it. My view is there are two types of investor. Those that want to make money and those, such as Man City's owners, who want trophies at what seems any cost. If it is the former, then I believe we could be in trouble. Our present board at least have an emotional link to the club. Whoever comes into the club, more than likely, will not.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 2:27 pmWithout knowing anything about their intentions, like the rest of us, why would you suggest they are potentially on an ego trip, why would you suggest we are in the sh1t?

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
Have a look at what city’s owners paid for them, and have a look at their worth now. If they were to sell they’d more than make their money back. Success increases the club profile and in turn increases the clubs worth and that’s not taking inflation into account. You’d very easily be able to increase Burnley’s worth.ten bellies wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 2:48 pmMy speculation derives from what has happened in the past to other smaller clubs that have been sold.

Sheikh Mansour bought the club in 2008 for £210 million in a much publicised deal and has since accumulated annual losses of £535 million, excluding approximately £200 million on facility upgrades.
According to wiki
Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
For the last decade at least, we have been told by clubs, chairman, pundits and many more 'experts' that earnings from matchday and fans were nominal and a tiny part of the overall picture for a Premier League club...
Now, all of a sudden, because we have no fans at stadiums, it is a make or break part of a football club financially...
Something doesn't add up!

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
That can still be true. If matchday income accounts for 3% of your turnover (which could be classed as nominal) but your profit is 2% of turnover then you’ve got a problem when the matchday income disappearsBigChaCha wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 3:45 pmFor the last decade at least, we have been told by clubs, chairman, pundits and many more 'experts' that earnings from matchday and fans were nominal and a tiny part of the overall picture for a Premier League club...

It’s nearly 30% of total income for Arsenal and Spurs and more than £100m per club.BigChaCha wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 3:45 pmFor the last decade at least, we have been told by clubs, chairman, pundits and many more 'experts' that earnings from matchday and fans were nominal and a tiny part of the overall picture for a Premier League club...

Manchester United have 15,000 corporate hospitality every single home game.
Loss of fans has a knock on effect to other revenue sources like sponsorship and advertising etc
For some clubs it is a massive part of their financial model - for Burnley less so but it’s still key for us because we operate within the margins and between £5m and £10m a year losses is still a pretty big number for us.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
When a takeover approach is made, the acquirer will usually go to the Board. The only time they will go directly to the shareholders is if it is a hostile takeover, which in this case is pointless as the Board own most of the shares. When an agreement is reached, the Board will make a recommendation to shareholders to accept the offer, but until that time there is no requirement for the acquirer to communicate directly with shareholders.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 11:35 amYou are making assumptions.
1. If they are buying all the shares to own 100% of the club, I know a lot of shareholders who have not been contacted.
2. Are they buying the club or are they buying shares from two directors?
3. Not sure but I think the £200m value might have been touted by Farnell's people.
4. Contacted Garlick? No, should I be doing?
In the case of PLCs, it is compulsory to offer all shareholders the same terms. I think similar rules apply to private companies - they may even have the right to compulsorily buy your shares (somebody mentioned "drag & tag" rules) but I'm not comletely sure what the rules are.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
Thanks for that info. In terms of private companies, I've had my shares for not far short of 40 years now but thinking about it, although we've changed ownership, there has never been a takeover as such in that time. I've seen mention of drag & tag.scouseclaret wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 5:20 pmWhen a takeover approach is made, the acquirer will usually go to the Board.

All dependant on the last minute haggling as each tries to manoeuvre the other on signing day. Hence why a lot of sales/transfers don’t come through or are delayed. You wouldn’t believe the audacity of some people when your pens hovering above a signature line!

He used to always be first and bob on with the insider info so its a shame he's still not about as I bet he knows exactly what is going down much better than all those speculating and acting like they are in the know

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
Only if it was being funded by a public quoted company as I mentioned earlier in the thread. It’s usual to meet overseas business partners in London particularly if flying into London airports. Too many on here suggesting they are in the know and they are not.
