Cue Dave Jones appointed as assistant manager...good luck Burnley...,not right these cretins should be allowed anywhere near a football club...but here they go again...sad times for them I fear...😣
I have just checked my calendar to make sure it isn't April 1st. Totally dumbstruck by this. I hope Burnley fans are ready for the fight, otherwise it will most certainly end in tears.
I could not agree more with everything said so far. No supporter of a seemingly stable club thinks, when they look at all the distressed stories about other clubs, can think it could never happen to them. It can, we have learned the hard way for sure. There must be some sussed Burnley fans out there with the nous to see this for what it is,find out, and spread the word. They mustn't dismiss any misgiving seemingly 'addressed' as sorted. Everything needs rock solid granite like proof, which won't of course be forthcoming.
Burnley: Clarets subject of £200m takeover bid by Mohamed El Kashashy & Chris Farnell
Burnley are the subject of a £200m takeover bid from Egyptian businessman Mohamed El Kashashy and lawyer Chris Farnell.
It had been thought American sports investment firm ALK Capital were in pole position to buy the Clarets.
However, BBC Sport understands that Farnell and El Kashashy are in talks with major shareholders at the club.
Farnell recently had a ban from owning a club in England overturned by the Football League.
The Cheshire-based lawyer was handed a ban after issues arose during an attempt to buy Charlton earlier this year.
Farnell subsequently appealed against the decision and the ban was withdrawn, although he did serve a a five-week disqualification period which ended on 14 September.
He is now free to pursue his bid with El Kashashy, which it is believed will be about £200m.
Farnell was previously involved in talks over the future of Bury and was briefly a director at Wigan.
Burnley are regarded as one of the best-run clubs in the Premier League but chairman Mike Garlick's refusal to loosen the purse strings has led to a strained relationship with manager Sean Dyche, who has repeatedly called for his squad to be strengthened.
His only signing this summer was Brighton midfielder Dale Stephens, while Joe Hart, Aaron Lennon and Jeff Hendrick were all released when their contracts expired in June.

Their squad must be worth a few quid.

Few hundred properties on their ground

£ 201 million
Good business nous.
I trust we have people in place to approach them?
There is no way i can see them passing the fit and proper test although we are not talking the EFL this time.
It's about time Farnell got some high profile exposure for who and what he is and an attempt to take over a Premier League club might just do it.
If this actually happens , expect a fire sale at Burnley and relegation within 12 months.
