    It's not going to happen is it, this takeover, file it in the box with Pope to Chelsea, Tarko to West Ham, Tarko to Leicester, McNeill to wherever. We can all relax, Mr Garlick's tenure is not coming to an end any time soon, Billy Shakespeare had it weighed up in Macbeth, 'it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing'.

    Hope you are right sinkov.
    The Times spoke of us being a Moneyball project and said a takeover was not imminent.

    “It is a model that Brentford have employed in recent seasons and one that was immortalised in the book Moneyball by Michael Lewis, in 2003, which charts the Oakland Athletics’ rise in baseball where they profited from spotting talent that other clubs failed to identify.

    The Times understands no takeover of the Lancashire club is imminent but talks are taking place with the Burnley chairman, Mike Garlick, who owns a 49.24 per cent interest in the club.

    Sources claim that representatives of ALK have visited Burnley’s new training ground”

    It must be difficult for the Club owners to undertake due diligence on such a new company with no accounts or trading and a lack of knowledge of where the money is coming from. The US parent seems to have only been set up in 2019.
