“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Farnell subsequently appealed against the decision and the ban was withdrawn, although he did serve a a five-week disqualification period which ended on 14 September.”
This guy is an absolute disgrace and a five week ban is nowhere near enough punishment for what he did to us. He’ll be feeling cocky again now that he’s got away with yet another disgusting situation.
It is remarkable that Farnell even has the temerity to even put his name in the frame for this. More proof that football is a joke. In any other business someone with anything like his reputation wouldn't get near even discussing the possibility of buying a business
another nice traditional club potentially falling into the hands of a dodgy foreigner backed by an even dodgier Brit .. what are the 'football authorities;' thinking' .. all I can think is that owner Mike Garlick is keen to cut his losses and come away with a few quid .. excuse the pun but this stinks more than the (previous?) owner's name .. Bob Lord will be turning in his grave
Strange they have proved the funds with the EFL Wonder how long it will be before Elliott and Mouthall are mentioned to complete the consortium Obviously CAFC was intended to be a stepping stone to this latest shameful fiasco with Burnley, and to be used as a fundraiser, disgusting and sickening for Burnley
Headline is misleading as they don't appear to have agreed a deal.
They have history of going public and saying they have done deals when they have not.
Whether this is true or an attempt to make them look like big players i don't know but I suspect there is an element of "look at me, look at me".
When the Burnley "deal" doesn't happen, they will be hoping to lure in a few other clubs like Wigan or Southend or whoever is struggling. Fans and owners will think "We'll they are loaded, Burnley's loss is our gain, get them in"
Speculation on my part. Let's see what happens but even if it turns out to be true El K has £200m (which I doubt) I'm still glad we got Sandgaard instead,

He just couldn't provide the source or legitimacy of those funds other than a letter from a dodgy Egyptian Bank.
Never in a million years has El Kashashy £200m readily available to purchase a football club along with several extra millions to run that club successfully over the next few years.
Just waiting for @MuttleyCAFC with some doctored takeaway photos now.

That makes sense
a) I'd be staggered if they had £200m to buy a club, and unlike with Roland there would be no "pay £1, pay the rest later" deals. Garlick will want the money now
b) I don't see how they could make a financial return on £200m. Burnley have a small fanbase, and the land where the ground is would be worth peanuts. The playing squad isn't worth £200m, especially in a fire sale. And without fans in they'll be making a loss as well
I remember our fans and Burnley on the pitch together at the Valley. This can't be allowed to happen. Alistair Campbell is a big Burnely fan. Surely he'd want to get involved in this fight.

So is James Anderson, I'd pay money to see him bowl a few cricket balls at full pace at those couple of c***s

"Forewarned is forearmed" and even if Burnley are a smokescreen for their real target, it's not as if they haven't left and won't continue to leave an audit trail longer than the miles recorded on Mo Farrah's fitbit!

Get the dossier to Alistair Campbell but don’t sex it up. Make sure it can be delivered in 45 minutes
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.
This.
Are we living in some kind of alternative universe? I'm having trouble believing that this might actually happen.

I guess Farnell got rejected because he'd was acting both as Lawyer for Charlton and a Director of ESI so the conflict meant he couldnt be approved
His argument for the appeal was probably based on the fact that he removed himself from the COI with the ban a ticking off telling him he should have known better
I tried to contact Alastair Campbell about this via Twitter but as I am clueless about how to use it it might go nowhere. Whatever we think we must put a spike in Farnell’s wheel.

Good luck, Burnley. You'll need it.
Ah yeah... I imagine Farnell's new mate the PR guru and ex Mirror journo James Fletcher put them on to it.
His argument for the appeal was probably based on the fact that he removed himself from the COI with the ban a ticking off telling him he should have known better

Spoiled my pre-match drink that day. Naughty.
Especially for a non Big 6 (and perhaps Everton) Premier League club, where there's always the risk of relegation
Feel sorry for them if this is true
