It's a Youtube channel, I was wondering if it's official club stuff or someone else's work.

That's what I thought. Seems like a load of crap to me.
However, if there's any truth in the stuff about Alan Pace and Espanyol then I would have reason for concern.

I’d have concerns without that crap

I’ve just watched one episode. Did you really think for a second that could be an official club stuff?

Might depend which episode, but nothing would surprise me with the way football clubs conduct themselves these days.

I think you’re being very harsh there

On who?

I know we’ve had criticism of the media team at the club, but when the first word you hear/read on the first video you click is “Clarence” then I think that’s a good indication of how official it is

Then the club really should act to try to get this stuff stopped.
What do we think about the reported player's assertions regarding AP buying Espanyol and moving to Barcelona?

The club. The media content we produce is very good. That was, being polite, not good at all.

It didn’t say that. It said he’d spoken to a player, who spoke highly of him, then said Pace is expected to live in Barcelona (not that the player said he would).

You seem determined to engage in an argument.
I didn't say anything specifically about Burnley FC's media output, but I did comment on the conduct of football clubs in general, conduct which I personally find distasteful at times.

And I guess you think it's Ok to buy a business for £200m when the business you already own is deep in debt.

You say I am looking for an argument and then raise something completely off topic? Loads of threads discussing Espanyol takeover, Finances, etc.

Not at all. I am just surprised you could ever think BFC would be behind a 500 follower account publishing AI generated guff, hence my comment you were being a very harsh on them.

It's not off topic. And if it's true that AP is relocating to Barcelona (the actual quote being "word got out" that he intended to relocate) and spending £200m to buy Espanyol whilst having spent £0 of his own money on Burnley FC and running up substantial debt, then any fan should have some concern.
Now all of this could be BS, and if the club didn't release this info then they'd do well to get this kind of stuff stpped (if that's possible).

I’d expect if he’s spent £200m on a club he’ll want to be around to meet everyone and get to know the club. I think that’s to be expected. It shouldn’t matter if he has a good team that he trusts in Burnley (and a phone).

Worth noting that his daughter has married a local guy, had a baby recently and his family is settled in the UK, so I’d expect if he spends a lot of time in Barcelona initially, the ultimate plan will be to divide his time between the UK and Spain.

I don’t think the club can stop external YouTube content from being published or speculation online generally. When the regulatory hurdles are passed, I expect he’ll set the record straight on his plans.
