Well I will be keeping a close eye on the crowd tonight to see if there are any new faces in BFC masks! The private jet arrival this morning has got me excited. :D
I wouldn't get too excited about the private jet

That is definitely correct. I posted must be a few pages back now that it had all been accepted and PL were awaiting only the final paper work.

The ALK bid for Sheffield United was with Kevin McCabe who was joint owner. Everything depended on who won the court case, McCabe lost so couldn't sell to ALK.

I had been wondering what had happened after they failed to land Sheffield United that had made this such good news

Sky Sports News: Burnley takeover agreed in principle and is set to be completed in next 48 hours

The protracted sale of Burnley to American investors ALK Capital has been agreed in principle and is set to be completed in the next 48 hours.

It had been hoped that more than six months of negotiations would have concluded in time to announce the deal before Tuesday's home match against Sheffield United.

However, several last-minute hitches have delayed the announcement.

It was hoped that ALK's managing director Alan Pace would attend Turf Moor on Tuesday to watch Burnley's crucial match against United, the club he came close to buying less than two years ago.

Instead, the takeover is set to be announced in the coming days, with Pace having reportedly passed the Premier League's Owners' and Directors' Test.

The imminent takeover, which is set to be announced before the January transfer window opens, is positive news for Burnley manager Sean Dyche, who has been without significant investment in his squad for several windows.

Well we've almost got there - no more than a couple of days to wait and then we will wait and see what our new owners have to say once they have settled in. I'd prefer that they speak to the manager first and get some team planning done, then they can come to us about the more important matters.

Regarding to speaking to manager, from what I have been told, it’s very likely that this had already happened. The new owners apparently see Dyche as a major asset.

Both manager and prospective new owners have confirmed they haven't spoken.
