    Wrote this to make Burnley fans more aware. It has some of history, some of the hurt he caused and some emotional condemnation from myself.
    Just went to read it and the link doesn't appear to work
    Had to delete due to them being threatened with defamation which they understandably don't want to deal with.

    And apologise officially. Had to bite my tongue
    Apologise to flannel farnel ? Haha don't worry, even better if you've pissed off the slimy toad. Why didn't he issue an injunction ? Oh of course he isn't very clever is he  :D:D:D

    EFL probably only passed Farnell, so they could pass the problem onto the Premier League and hope he never tries it again with an EFL club
    Big hope that is by the EFL, as he will certainly be back again and again
    should ( as we expect) the EPL tell them all to sod off ;)
    The way round that is for Burnley to intentionally get relegated and then bought under the auspices of The EFL....simples.🙄

    £9billion? He isn’t worth 9 bob let alone £9billion. Why did he have to hide behind Elliott if he had that kind of money? Load of nonsense. 
  • 9 billion Ugandan dollars.

    £9bn?

    He could buy the whole of Burnley for that.

    'The Mirror' today is stating that El Kashashy is work £9 Billion. He's done some job going from junior roles at Coca-Cola and P&G 10 years ago to being worth £9 Billion... 

    It definitely wouldn't be Farnell leaking lies to the press though, of that i'm 100% sure. 
    Lazy journalism

    Some Burnley fans are happy to believe what's in the papers.

    Obviously but this thread is about Burnley not the world in general.

    They've just chucked that detail out there as if it's a well known fact, no supporting evidence. Absolute joke of a story.

    And they've spelt his name wrong...
  • So only 4 PL clubs are under British ownership or 5 under European if you include Abramovich.

    He was born in Russia but of Israeli extraction. That said Israel was in Asia when I was at school too!

    That mirror article also has Roman Abramovich's wealth listed at £9.65 billion, so either there's a cute little coincidence there, or the mirror have made a huge balls up in their writing

    I don’t think it’s a balls up. The headline is battle of the Billionaires.

    The basic lack of any due diligence is a consistent theme in sports writers.

    Maybe not a spelling mistake, are we sure it is the same guy?
