You do not want Chris Farnell and Mohamed El Kashashy anywhere near your football club at all.
Not today, not tomorrow.
Go to bed and sleep on it, research as much as you like, hope against hope if you want, equivocate some, convince yourself, search out the good bits and then say NO.
Leave it a week, leave it a month, leave it a season, leave it a year, weigh up the cons and cons and then say NO.
Fecking no: not now, not ever.
This is not a bitter Charlton fan talking, this is somebody with no axe to grind against a decent club such is Burnley FC, this is a football fan.
The answer to all and any questions you may have is now and forever NO.
If you sign up as a member, there's a thread that goes into extensive detail on their "bonkers shenanigans". Not sure what the current policy is on admitting new members (because of what Farnell, Matt Southall, Paul Elliott, and all the other parties were getting up to on social media!), but there you go.

Edit. Just seen the other thread.
However, I don't doubt that their supporters trust will get everything which is relevant from our trust..
Not an unreasonable position, especially when you want resolution and a tempting prospect is waved around.
However one feature of the chancers modus operandi is distraction and obfuscation. Things become 'not the full story', 'confidentiality agreements', 'mere administration errors', names of people and companies are subtly shifted, layers created that need digging through, associations masked...in short all kinds of obfuscation.
We know because we have spent months uncovering things layer by layer.
All the time the hope and temptation dilutes the desire to do fans due diligence. The chancers are good at being chancers, they don't exploit our greed but our hopes, and all the time they squat over the mess hoping to make considerable sums from squeeze and fall out whilst our clubs disintegrate.
As one of their (the chancers) employees famously said 'we all have mortgages to pay' and they don't give a damn if that is at the expense of Bury, or Charlton or Burnley.
Chase down the concrete facts Burnley fans.
Get your 200 million for purchase in a rock solid escrow account, get another 100 million in another escrow account only accessed by Sean Dyche!
You want facts, do you count somebody simply saying they're rich as a fact?
If so, I am rich, have access to a billion pounds and am serious about taking over and can I know about the famous Burnley singing ringing tree so that proves I am genuine.
Fact.
If Burnley fans have divide, created and fuelled by chancers (why should we believe bitter Charlton fans?) then it plays into the hands of those who want to suck the very marrow out of the bones of Burnley football club.
Guys, get your act together and fight this, take nothing as obvious, and nothing as proof until it is rock solid.
You're convincing yourselves that something involving Farnell and Kashashy won't be too bad.
Please guys. If they have funds, proof of funds, proof of source of funds, and proof of ongoing funding, you need to actually see it in a way that there can be absolutely no doubt whatsoever.
Farnell and Kashashy have seen the proof of funds at Burnley Football Club. They have seen your player assets, sell on promises, season ticket goodwill, TV money, parachute payments if relegated, physical infrastructure and more. They know what they can get out of you, are you sure you know what you can get out of them?
Don't fantasise, don't be in denial, don't believe words, ensure beyond any doubt they're kosher.
They are not.
before you feel you are bashing your head against the proverbial wall,
if someone doesn't want too listen to well meaning fans, the same fans
who have suffered at their hands for so long, then what can be done.
We can only hope that some of them actually listens, and maybe they can
take up arms when the inevitable happens
WE can only wish them the best of luck, because they are sure to need it
at some point in time
