Report on LancLive 9-Jun-2021
ALK have also brought Dave Baldwin back to Turf Moor in an advisory capacity.
The former Burnley CEO is a vastly experienced football operator who will play a key part in assisting with the Clarets recruitment over the coming months.
He left his role at Turf Moor to join the EFL in 2020 but was in post a matter of months before stepping down and his return will be seen as a major positive by many given his experience and expertise while his knowledge and knowhow is viewed as a crucial asset within football circles.
The Clarets are currently operating without a CEO after the departure of Neil Hart after just a year in post. He left In March with Pace taking on the role of Executive Chairman in the interim.
Meanwhile, speculation has surrounded the future of Burnley Technical Director Mike Rigg in recent days.
He is currently on a few weeks break from the club but Lancs Live understands he has not left his post at this time.
Rigg arrived in 2018 charged with improving player identification and recruitment. His arrival saw the Clarets invest in scouting to be able to identify players across the globe using a statistics-based model, albeit one that has yet translate into signings.
The previous Burnley board sanctioned just £1million on investment last summer, with Dale Stephens and Will Norris arriving, something that ALK have vowed to rectify moving forward with boss Sean Dyche keen to strengthen his squad having secured Premier League survival.
There is a growing confidence that Dyche will sign a new deal with the Clarets after talks with chairman Alan Pace with both in agreement on the best way forward for the club.
Burnley FC declined to comment on any staffing changes at Turf Moor.

I've added the bold re Mike Rigg.
As for LinkedIn - there are many people who leave a job but don't updated LinkedIn when this happens. A contact of mine left a job, voluntarily, in 2015. Their LinkedIn record still says they are in that job.
