Islay, have a wee look at ALK Capital LLC. There's also an American company involved. Right up your street for some fact finding.

Ok , you can never be sure, but in my opinion, it can only be good. Can’t see any downside to this.
[QUOTE=BP33;40433980]Hope it's a roaring success.Quote:

And we probably never will
[QUOTE=BP33;40433980]The only downside I can see is that Burnley may have first refusal on any players they think might be a success playing for them and they might sign them for a reduced transfer fee or sign them for nothing.Quote:

I enclose the ALK Capital LLC website which reads a bit like the Keyes Capital website. https://alkcapital.com/about-alk/Quote:

Burnley income, season tickets £7m, TV income £100m. Looks like they are in a good place financially. Hoping that we can find a way to use this link up. If we can replicate the success of Beck's stay with us this might be a way to punch above our ability to pay top wages.
It feels a wee bit like the strategy we had when the Bonettis were managing the club. Cannigia, Ketsbaia, Nemzadze and Ravanelli were playing for us in the expectation that we would recoup their wages when we transferred them to a wealthy club. They got the platform and the profile. It didn't work out financially, but this time there seems to be little financial risk.
Maybe loans can work out for both the player and our team does get into the possible European places?
Feeling a lot more positive about DFC and this as a way forward for the football team
