Prepare to be surprisedTop Claret wrote: ↑Sat Dec 05, 2020 7:44 amPlenty of talk on this thread but little noise or action coming from Burnley FC
It would not surprise me if we are no nearer a takeover come February, with the transfer window shut and no new signings

But there are threads with political debate still taking place, maybe they are just better hiddengandhisflipflop wrote: ↑Sat Dec 05, 2020 9:25 amI understand the ban on political discussion. It’s a football message board at the end of the day and while I have made one or two very small contributions personally to politics threads in the past, you get the same posters arguing with each other who despite what must be endless hours of in my opinion wasted hours, they’re fully entrenched in their camps and it does become boring because it’s the same on every thread. At one point in lockdown I must have counted 15 political threads on the first page alone and people who don’t have accounts but like to read this board must have been turned off by it.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
Fair enough, I was meaning more about an announcement officially, but good stuff. I'm sure they'll be happy with what the saw today. I certainly am.
Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
Looks imminent now. Just PL clearance and cheque in the post.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
Honest question because I haven't really followed this closely, but obviously a takeover is close. Who are the new prospective owners ALK or Farnell/Elkashashy?
If it's not apparent then at least it gets us closer to the magic 100.
It's better than a food count innit

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
Today's nixon update... Dyche has spoken to ALK... Contract, targets etc. But also guesses he could be interested in the Derby job.

Only if we go down, and he is promised quite a big war chest once appointed would that move appeal to him.
3 players needed in January regardless, then probably the same minimum come Summer depending what division we are in.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
I could well imagine that ALK will have spoken to Dyche if the other party are out of the running which has been suggested through speculation earlier in the thread. I can't imagine this being the case if both were still in the running.
That said, I thin SD's view of the world is that he won't be counting anything until the ink is dry and someone is in that can actually deliver on what may be promised.
Keeping his options open would be my guess around any other job.
You never know in the world of football and things change quickly as he has stated before so he probably would consider most jobs in the sense he wouldn't want to turn anything down at this stage whilst it is still 'theoretical'.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
I think there was suggestion that Farnell was using his media contacts to spin that they were out of the running.
There was then suggestion that there was an announcement due on Friday.
Nothing really other than speculation and bits of information which is causing 2+2 = 5 in my opinion. It sounds like the process in ongoing with confidence it will happen in good time but just impatience on here and these snippets which make people think its taking longer than it should be.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
Then why bother commenting on it? There's a very good reason for it and many football message board actually ban links to the rag's site.
Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
I only commented on it, because my original post was met with... Tell me what it says, but iam not buying that rag... Which you then replied to. I get the message, I won't be posting any news from the sun in future. Hopefully you and others won't post about any nixon stories, after all he gets paid by said rag.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Sun Dec 06, 2020 2:03 pmThen why bother commenting on it?

Looking that way sadly.
With the January transfer window looming we have a parallel deadline to Brexit !!

I can imagine Dyche going to Derby. It is only an hours drive away from his home, so he could commute to work and be permanently based with his family.
We know he has no interest in football outside the job and family comes first for him.
