ALK - takeover expected next week.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Vibes I see are a deal is imminent, job closes Jan 4th so maybe it will be before then.
Won’t be any use for the next window though.
However more money should be available for it.

I am receiving emails telling me changes are happening...

Seems so.
Some Q@A s on here

Right midfield, right-back and centre-back remain the three key positions to add. ALK want to support Dyche in the market but it is likely to be one or two signings rather than a flurry of deals.

What is the likeliness of the takeover happening out of 10

"Very high, I would probably say eight or nine. Loathe to say 10 as things can still change but there is growing confidence now that this will get done."

This may be our future as Midtylland owners are American with similar Moneyball ideas for a small club that made Europe this year. Brentford owner is major shareholder and developing them too.

With all due respect, our defensive unit is performing well, we are not shedding lots of goals and we are keeping some clean sheets. It is in creating good chances and taking advantage of the chances we create that is our current problem.

I would suggest that our main targets should be a pacey winger, a creative midfielder with some flair and a striker who can take some of the few chances we create.

Preferably we also need to ensure the players we bring in are not at the end of their playing careers. Signing Crouch was not good business as described by our head of recruitment.

While I agree we need other positions filling, but at the moment we are not scoring enough goals and it is goals that win games.

In all fairness Vintage, we've picked up 15 points from 9 games, despite being robbed of at least 1 point at Leeds.

I thought we played well against Leeds, but still lost albeit down to poor refereeing. However we could still have won if we had taken the chances we created in the second half. Tonight I thought we under performed but won although it was more nail biting as we chose to defend a one goal lead. We need to start creating clear cut chances and have someone to turn those chances into goals.

We have one, he's called Matej Vydra.

I totally agree BT, but Dyche does not he prefers an out of form Wood.

Part of the problem is that our dysfunctional recruitment team has landed our manager with an understrength squad, that last night forced him to play a wide man who has no assists in 23 games on one side, and a young lad barely good enough to play midfield in the Dev Squad on the other. It doesn't help, maybe ALK can.

I will be glad to see ALK take over and I hope that Alan Pace can see what needs to be done. For me the first thing would be to get rid of Rigg, who I think is stealing a wage have done nothing to improve the first team. Although due to the secrecy surrounding BFC it could be that Rigg is making suitable recommendations but being overruled by the present board of directors.
