Re: KV Kortrijk
Would this help (or dodge) any financial fair play rules? For example player owned by Belgium club, loaned to us on much lower wages with Belgium picking up the rest?
Tho if it’s a subsidiary or Group entity FFP may relate to the Group financials………
Just an early in the day thought!!!

If done correctly, this partnership or model will be beneficial for both sides.
If for example we sign a player who cannot gain a work permit yet to play in England, and said player is loaned out to our partner club, depending on the standard of the player , said club would strengthen their lineup for the season. The player will get a season of football at a half decent level, and the parent club , in this instance Burnley , would see the player gain a work permit and a years football.
There are other benefits obviously but this is just one aspect I see.

Re: KV Kortrijk
This model will allows us to sign foreign wunderkinds on the cheap that otherwise wouldn't have gotten work permits. Without this system we will continue to buy players when they have played 3 seasons and are worth 15 million. With it we get them when we first seem them for 1.5 million. I have three examples of this: One Bart Verbuggen, last season would have cost us about 5 million but fell through due to a failure in Work Permit. Two Jackson Muleka, A striker that we agreed a 2.5 million fee for who again fell through to work permit now would cost more due to a season in Turkey. Third Georges Mikautadze. Another Striker who is quality period who would have cost us 2 million last season now he is going to cost closer to 10 as has supposedly been bid by AC Milan (We are still interested in two of the above players). The examples above show why a feeder club that we directly control the policy, scouting and recruitment of its extremely beneficial to us and likely of them too as we will still want them to succeed. Furthermore it will save us more funds than it costs us in the long run. So to conclude if your against this your a mad man and in my opinion have a genuine agenda.

Re: KV Kortrijk
Are you asking if ALK will take money directly from the Burnley's coffers and transfer it to the accounts of Kortrijk or if ALK will withhold cash that it could give to Burnley and give to Kortrijk instead?
They're two different scenarios.
The likelihood is ALK have had this as part of their original plan when buying Burnley, they did try to buy the Italian club last season but missed out, they still may find a diff Italian club to buy to add to the collection.
The multi-club model is popular now, so it makes sense to do it if the clubs are available for the right price etc.

Re: KV Kortrijk
Correct
Re: KV Kortrijk
I also read somewhere that Belgium has some favourable rules when it comes to work permits for overseas players when compared with other countries, so getting players sent over there should be pretty easy no matter where they are from.
On a side note, they look to have a couple of good attacking players in their squad.

BFC 's regular income is paying for the day to day running of the club, that will eventually be shown in the accounts.
The money to buy this other club - unknown, assuming ALK have funds available that we're unaware of, maybe from investors, or even the money they've paid themselves from the club

Re: KV Kortrijk
The money to buy the club will come from club accounts as was reported when our initial interest was made clear. "Burnley have decided to back off instead choosing to allocate funds to investing in Kompany's playing staff" Not verbatem but meh club funds will pay for it and thats fine due to the long term benefits it gives the club. Like it or not its an investment in Burnley FC
Re: KV Kortrijk
So we are using £13m plus yearly running costs from our promotion gains to buy ALK a new club?

Re: KV Kortrijk
We don't know.
The money is probably already in a bank account somewhere waiting to be used to buy a club, they've already tried once and missed out.
We don't know when that money was put into said bank account.
It doesn't really matter, the owners are growing the club and they want to go down the multi-club route.
It has potential to be a good thing, seems to work elsewhere and other clubs are looking to do the same.

Re: KV Kortrijk
Yes, it is exactly the same. It's just that there isn't really an equivalent in English to this letter combination. It also sounds quite similar to the combination 'ei' (which on its own means 'egg' incidentally). And that one sounds a bit more like the a-i combination (but not quite). On its on, the 'IJ' also sounds somewhat like the word 'I' in English (when talking about yourself).

Re: KV Kortrijk
Most of the Kortrijk supporters are probably excited about the Burnley idea. Not to become a "feeder club" but the alternatives are worse. Tan has done very very little for the club and he want's to sell. It's, according to the press, between the kaminski group and Burnley. It sure worked for Union Saint Gilles when they got the premier league support to get better results. We don't expect miracles, we just want owners who care for the club and don't **** with the supporters.
about the club:
passionate supporters, youngest average crowd age in the Belgian first league. biggest rivalries are with Zulte Waregem (derby, next season in lower league) and club brugge.
the local beer is indeed bockor but in the stadium the beer is jupiler (or in some places stella artois). max capacity of the stadium is about 9300, average i guess around 6000. we need a new stadium but love the old, current one.

Re: KV Kortrijk
Thanks for your comments. I will say that our owners are a lot better than Tan, who hasn’t displayed any real ability to run a football club. On the other hand our owners have reshaped our club and you should particularly be excited about the recruitment model. The Belgian link (at least for now) with Kompany is interesting too, and I wonder if he’s playing a part in pushing for this move.kortrijk wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2023 10:18 amMost of the Kortrijk supporters are probably excited about the Burnley idea.

Re: KV Kortrijk
Great post Kortrijk, very useful information and glad that your fanbase would hopefully be ‘for’ this move as opposed to wary.
Hope there is a way of watching Kortrijk games somehow (when not playing the same time as Burnley). May have to buy a shirt if this goes through
