Yes it is. And I don't want Burnley FC to be run like a business. I want Burnley FC run by someone whose ambition is for Burnley FC to continue in existence for ever, while playing football as well as we can. I don't want it to be run by someone whose ambition is to make money. I will respond to yo...

Great summary, thanks. However, would the alleged events in the quoted paragraph not be fraudulent?

I’m pretty certain they would be, albeit difficult to prove if what was said or inferred between parties I imagine.

I think City need Doku on here. It’s too one-dimensional at the minute.

He’s definitely changed the game.

this is what he said "I don't mean to be over-dramatic on it because I can't explain it, but if you knew you would be 'oh my goodness, this is incredible'.” Alan Pace, January 5 2021, introductory press conference – a response to a question about the financial structure of the takeover I think he h...

What do you honestly think motivates them to spend their days in rainy Lancashire rather than sipping cocktails on Palm Beach?

They’re obviously not going to state that their primary objective is to profit from BFC are they. As for thousands of ways to make money easier than owning a football club… do I remember correctly Chester Perry saying he believes ALK have already made a return on their initial investment? If so thi...

I’d classify the Venkys in the same boat. I have no idea why them lot are throwing tennis balls on the pitch when they’ve ploughed £300m in to keep them afloat. Let me help you out with that 1.

I'd be interested to know how much the exposure Leicester get in Thailand has lead to an increase in revenue from the Asian markets. If they've not managed to turn it into anything tangible then it's probably a waste of time us trying. I’d like to know as well. I’m not sure your assessment is entir...

I wonder if our goalkeeping coach will ask them to cut it out. Muric is skilful enough to trap the ball with the inside of his foot in a split second and then pass it. I’d hope he doesn’t have to. If that’s how he feels comfortable controlling the ball, I’m fine with it, I must’ve watched him in 50...

NewClaret

I certainly agree that Forest and Leicester are bad ownership models, not least because they have ploughed large amounts into their clubs and blown it. Their points deductions are in large part because their owners have stuffed too much money down their gills. From post-Lord up to and including Kil...

NewClaret

To be fair they were funded significantly by Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and by his family but their King Power company was very badly hit by the pandemic which has meant they've not had the funds to continue at the level they had previously. Yes, I think they’re an example of one club that was funded...

Saudi Arabia and Qatar, to add a couple more. Whoever it is that owns Bournemouth, too. And Leicester and Forest, and for that matter Andy Holt at Accrington Stanley. The blokes at Wrexham, and Salford. It's not uncommon. So on Saudi and Qatar, they bought the asset themselves but I don’t think the...

NewClaret

It doesn't. Garlick took tens of millions of pounds out of the club, and the new people have done the same, and in both cases it isn't doing the club any good. These owners are financial investors and they want profit. This puts us at a disadvantage as against other PL club owners who are willing t...

it depends on who you are trying to influence - these guys are well connected in their business communities and know plenty of others of similar wealth.

Okay, I see your point. I thought you were talking about influencing fan base growth.

NewClaret

There is indeed a large amount of 'influencer' element that we are seeing at the moment - and there will be a wide range of views about that. It seems the club are still very much in the 'brand awareness' phase of it's strategy. This guys though are a few thousand followers on social media, some no...

Hi Paul, why do you think it's better for the club to have a multinational mix in the ownership?

Not answering for Paul but I definitely think having Asian investors is a positive in terms of giving insight and ideas in how we might be able to grow in that region.

NewClaret

Just to clarify, if people are destitute it’s because of energy and food price rises, travel & accommodation costs and not being able to find an NHS dentist. If you want chat to Alan he is usually in the Royal Dyche pre match or in the Fanzone. Don’t disagree with any of that, my point was really m...

He is, his father 'Chye' Kuok Khoon Ho is the nephew of Robert Kuok the founder of the family's business Empire Justin is part of the third generation of the family and his interest in the club is some distance from the core family wealth and enterprise which is spread all over Asia. some informati...

NewClaret

For now and the foreseeable I think it is being marketed as an asset investment based on capital growth rather than an income producing investment - the development of the multi-club format we are expecting does not change that I agree and I think that is what it was also for Garlick & JB. My point...

NewClaret

I don’t know if Justin is related but the Kuok family are one of the wealthiest in Malaysia. Good spot. Seems he could be linked given he is given he previously worked at Shangri-La which is owned by the Kuok family. Robert Kuok being worth $17.7BN and the 97th richest man in the world according to...

And with a share in ownership, no doubt they expect a share in the profits.

True. I’m not sure how this differs from our previous investors who also wanted to, and did, benefit from massive profits.

NewClaret

ALK and VSP isn't about "billionaires," New. It's about Burnley giving a lot of wealthy millionaires the opportunity to have a share in ownership of Burnley football club. It's the very opposite of an individual billionaire or two. It's great to see the multinational mix amongst the club's ownershi...

NewClaret

Big rises at Forest, adult prices up a lot and concessions tightened like at many clubs. We still seem at the low end but football is pricing out ordinary fans more and more.

Starting both in the PL? Based on what? Sentiment?

Cork and Jay Rod’s best seasons were in the last decade.

I love Cork and think we’d have stayed up in the season we went down if Dyche had played him every game. But I find it hard to believe anyone would play him over Cullen and Berge now.

NewClaret

He's got over 6 offers from CURRENT championship clubs, most notably the one reported - Stoke (there is a lot of legs in this) Given his ties with his agent and Stoke He's also got offers from abroad, but i can't say where. it's 2 different countries though Knowing Jay, he probably hasnt a clue wha...

Great research CP. Other names for you:

Souley Wague

Can't fault the club taking the lower allocation. We will have had to inform them in advance and up until a week ago we would have got nowhere near selling 3000. Can't expect the club to take full allocations when people don't want to go to away games when things aren't going well. Couldn’t agree m...

Agree Vegas. Pretty sure that’ll be one of Kompany’s key learnings from this season in the Prem.

Even Brighton, known for their technical ability, all stood out as massive units on Saturday.

Me either. Someone will pay something for him with that record this season but I’d bet it’ll go more the Armstrong way.

No they didn’t. It was this season we used them to source players. Where’s this information from? Someone on here itk said we’d been using them since Kompany arrived. And maybe even that Lee Moony was in MtB (if I remember correctly). It’d be very odd for Kompany to just start using his trusted rec...

Attacking midfielders who can score lots of goals are worth their weight in gold. Pity that MUD analytics couldn’t have found one for Burnley.

MUD analytics found a team that won the league with 101pts last time around at Sammie Szmodics level, scoring 87 goals in the process.

NewClaret

No nay never. He’s having a great season and well done to him. He’s single handedly carried a poor rovers side to survival this year. But his goal spree has been a one off and I’m not sure he possesses the qualities that’d be required of an attacking midfielder in VK’s system where we had the majori...

For some reason did not expect that.

Could’ve been a far bigger defeat as well.

It’s only really if they go in to admin they’ll lose more points this season. I’d say that’s unlikely, but they’re in incredible trouble whatever happens this year. They need this 777 deal to fall through and an immediate knight in shining armour to emerge.

I’m not entirely sure where Man City stand in regards to PSR, but selling Palmer was more financially beneficial than selling an equivalently valuable player who wasn’t an academy product.

This could’ve been a cricket score with decent finishing. That Mudryk effort was dreadful.

Was he not sold because he’s a home grown player so therefore his entire transfer fee counts as a profit as far as the financial regulations go? I’m sure Pep will sleep easy. As an aside, Palmer made his professional debut against Burnley back in 2020. Not sure City have any issues with PSR though?...
