My concern is that if ALK get weary of the protracted negotiations or look elsewhere it might open the door for Farnell or some other party.
I was seriously concerned when I first saw the name Farnell and became petrified of him getting involved the more I learned. I don't think he'll be back.

Tony, do you share GBP's view that " the deal will be sorted by next week with ALK." ?

You would think future bidders for other clubs would want to use another legal representative if their bid is to have credibility and a buy in from fans.

Totally agree and I said many (many! :) ) pages back El Kashashy may or may not be a credible chap with loads of cash to spend, but his judgement appeared totally suspect from the off if he thought letting Farnell front his bid was good idea and that didn't do him any favours or show him in a good light and surely MG would think so too. IMO anyone letting Farnell front their bid has serious credibility issues.

Can see both sides to this bickering. No question that a number of idiots are ruining the board. But the way it has been handled is straight from the "How not to deal with your problematic teenage child" textbook. Tell them not to do something and they will do it more. Hence 100 pages of messages with only 3 pages worth of genuine news.

Have real sympathy with those seeking to moderate the board but it's no good trying to reason with idiots. Close it down for a while and let the keyboard warriors drift off and find another forum.
I agree with this. The R rate for idiots is something like 3 at the moment, so it'll only get worse. We need a messageboard lockdown to drive it back under 1. We could even go outside on a Thursday to clap the moderators!

When The Athletic reported that day of the bid from Elkashashy/Farnell being close I remember seeing the name Farnell and alarm bells going off in my head. I immediately googled his name and up popped Charlton. Within minutes, I'd contacted their supporters groups and had received a reply. The more I heard, the more worried I got and not just from Charlton either. On the subject of Charlton, their new owner, given what he found, has all but made it a mission to keep Farnell out of football.

Why is childish comedy inflating the page count not ok, but amateur-hour deal structure complexity speculation is? The latter still inflates the page count with spam content.

Agreed. Would be perfect!!

I was offered a job by THG once when they were really small. Didn’t take it because I was worried about their size and it was in Northwich, so quite a commute. Just read that and realised what a terrible decision it was :(

Let's keep this in reserve - possible next owner bar one, after we've had a few European adventures with ALK.

Wow. He’s actually a Burnley fan.
Could certainly do with a seat on the board.
But it sounds like he has other priorities and quite right too.

There were suggestions initially that he was part of the ALK bid but I think that was because the ALK bid was revealed by Reuters in the same week as the Hut Group was floated.

When I went searching a bit I didn’t get the impression he had any interest.

Perhaps Mathew has glanced on here and thought 'Why would I," or maybe I'll pick up the bits after it all goes pear shaped.

Noel Gallagher was asked about Buying Peter Swales out at City when they had just made the big time and he replied 'Why would I? I would just have some scally bricking my windows if it starts going wrong'.

You only have to look at how much stick Garlick got online and it hasn't even gone wrong here yet.

It's not for the feint hearted.

I was uppity, not directly at you, because some think that because a ‘local’ makes billions they MUST want to invest in the local football club.

That we have some direct claim on the money he has made, that it’s a duty to reinvest into a club, and sport, that in all intents and purposes he potentially has no interest in.

Him reportedly being being a Burnley fan and his company having sponsored the club in some capacity back in the the noughties.
Other than that, I see where you're coming from.

I think in the articles announcing sponsorship he says he is a Burnley fan. Not aware of anything other than that.

If there is a delay, does anybody know what it is?

I'm not familiar with takeovers of football clubs but it seems to be quite a long delay without any news.

Who knows! I’ve been told it’s done, I’ve been told lots of things are done in regards to the club, media and transfers, it’s all set behind the scenes.

Obviously, not everyone can be right. So let’s see how it all falls.

I’m confident

They are saving the announcement until closer to Christmas and the club will package it as a big present to the supporters..along with an announcement that we have agreed terms with a player to sign straight away at the start of January.
The club video will show santa arriving at the Turf with a big sack...he will lower his hood..take off his beard and it will be Alan Pace :D ...oh and the player will be in the sack :lol:

They are saving the announcement until closer to Christmas and the club will package it as a big present to the supporters..along with an announcement that we have agreed terms with a player to sign straight away at the start of January.
The club video will show santa arriving at the Turf with a big sack...he will lower his hood..take off his beard and it will be Alan Pace :D ...oh and the player will be in the sack :lol:
That's just like a Sainsbury's tv advertisment :D

I have no idea who is in the know or not, but firstly for djw if it is already signed as you say, what are we now waiting for. Secondly for CT if there is a delay is it a major problem or just a couple of small issues.

He’s hardly going to say different is he.
He would if he wasn't a fan, surely.

You don’t invest into something and not suggest, tease, promote yourself to the fan base. Otherwise what’s the point of the initial outlay?
