ALK CAPITAL COMPLETES INVESTMENT IN BURNLEY F.C.
• Velocity Sports Partners (VSP), the sports investment arm of US management firm ALK Capital, acquires majority shareholding in Burnley F.C.
• VSP now holds a controlling 84% stake in the club, with the investment signalling a new era for the Clarets, building on the club’s history and recent successes
• Former shareholders Mike Garlick and John Banaszkiewicz to remain at Turf Moor as directors, working in partnership with new chairman Alan Pace.
BURNLEY, ENGLAND: ALK Capital – the leading US management firm specialising in investments in the sports and media sectors - today completed its investment in Burnley F.C.
The deal, approved and ratified by the Premier League, sees ALK Capital’s sports investment arm, Velocity Sports Partners, acquire an 84% shareholding in the club, which was English champions in 1921 and 1960. The firm’s Managing Partner Alan Pace will take over from Mike Garlick as club chairman.
Garlick, alongside former shareholder John Banaszkiewicz, will remain on ALK Capital’s new board of directors at Burnley, ensuring a smooth transition to new ownership and providing valuable knowledge from his eight-year tenure as club chairman. This successful period has seen two promotions to the Premier League, development of the Barnfield Training Centre, and European football at Turf Moor for the first time in more than half a century.
Mike Garlick, outgoing chairman and director of Burnley F.C., said:
“This investment represents a natural progression for Burnley Football Club. In Alan Pace and his team, we are welcoming committed investors to Turf Moor who will be living here in the local community and investing in the club, both on and off the football pitch, for many years to come. My tenure as chairman has always been about ensuring Burnley is a sustainable football club, and this investment provides a long-term plan to maintain that philosophy, whilst driving evolution and innovation.”
Alan Pace, incoming chairman and Managing Partner of ALK Capital, said:
“Today marks a new era for Burnley as we become stewards of this historic football club and build on the impressive work that Mike Garlick, Sean Dyche and everyone at Burnley has done to make it a financially stable, established Premier League club that is a cornerstone of the local community. With a rich heritage, a brilliant academy, and a passionate fan base, this club has solid foundations to build upon. This is the start of an exciting journey for the entire Clarets family.”
ALK Capital’s investment aims to secure the long-term future of Premier League football in Burnley, with a new management team providing a wealth of operational and technological expertise along with a sustainable growth plan centred on advancing the club, its academy and Burnley’s commercial footprint, whilst upholding the club’s core values and identity.
Pace, aged 53, brings 20 years in the financial services industry and over a decade of sports management experience to Burnley. A dual British American national, he was formally a Managing Director and Global Head of Sales for Securities Services at Citi, responsible for overseeing a multibillion-dollar division. Alan is a former partner at SCP Worldwide LLC – owner of sports, entertainment and media properties – and a previous CEO of Major League Soccer franchise Real Salt Lake, where he oversaw the transformation of a consistently last-place team to winning the 2009 MLS Cup.
The acquisition of a majority stake in Burnley builds on ALK Capital’s recent entry into the European sports market with two strategic investments in London-based football technology businesses AiScout and Player LENS.

Re: The wait is over - ALK Capital buy Burnley FC
Well Hi y’all. At last I will be able to type on my US phone without having to retype words such as color and check ( as in used in a bank ). Never thought I would see this day but in the words of Bob Dylan .... The times they are a changing ..... so gather round people and let’s score a goal .... cos the times they are a changing
Mr Pace. You have just bought yourself a very tough and not easy to please crowd if supporters. My advice to you is don’t try no American bs because if you do it will surely end in tears. We love our team and maybe one day we will love you. But if you screw us over ... It will get ugly. Good luck and UTC

Re: The wait is over - ALK Capital buy Burnley FC
Cautiously optimistic about this.
I hope for 3 things:
Dyche to stay and show what he can do
Good investment in young talent
We don't lose our identity as a local club rooted in the community (this shouldn't prevent us having a bigger foothold globally, if anything I'd hope our unique position would make us attractive)

I'm fairly sure both MG and JB will have arranged the payments for their shares in a tax-efficient manner, perhaps spread over two or more tax years ...Colburn_Claret wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 11:25 pmI too am glad to see MG and JB staying on the board. It will help keep the ship on an even keel, and their knowledge of Burnley and the Prem, will invaluable.
Good luck Mr. Pace, and remember , the Clarets come second only to family.

Re: The wait is over - ALK Capital buy Burnley FC
If they've signed a contract to sell the shares, the date of payment is irrelevant. Tax avoidance is never that simple.Clarets4me wrote: ↑Thu Dec 31, 2020 1:35 amI'm fairly sure both MG and JB will have arranged the payments for their shares in a tax-efficient manner, perhaps spread over two or more tax years ...

Re: The wait is over - ALK Capital buy Burnley FC
So who has the remaining 16%?
Re: The wait is over - ALK Capital buy Burnley FC
Either this is going to be really positive for the club and we about to become more competitive in the league and cups
Or
It’s going to be a disaster and we will end up by in the lower leagues
Either way it’s going to be an entertaining journey which is what football is all about
