Alan Pace has always refused to discuss the state of the club's finances. ALK statement says they're working to get this situation resolved.
Surely the only way to resolve it is to file the accounts for the parent company? Does Mr Pace have something to hide?

ALK Capital has issued a statement to the Burnley Express in response to the compulsory strike-off notice.

The Hand of Cod. Good save from Fleetwood keeper Jay Lynch. Hate those stuttering pens, though. Poor from Bruno Guimaraes. Contrast to the Fleetwood pens, calm, expert. Arsenal out. Congratulations to Fleetwood Town #CarabaoCup

Alan Pace’s other club Espanyol knocked out of the Copa Del Rey by Sestao of the *checks notes* FOURTH tier…

I’m saying nowt…
Ouch, Espanyol knocked out of the Copa del Rey by fourth tier side Sestao.
Already in La Liga's bottom three, you'd imagine Alan Pace will be sacking another manager pretty soon...

It feels genuinely more difficult to make these mistakes as regularly as the club do than it would be to actually proofread.
Mistakes happen, but when it's consistent it's sloppy, amateurish and symbolic of standards slipping across the club.
Couldn’t agree more with every word here from @henrywinter.
Pace has to take a long, hard look in the mirror and at those he chooses to surround himself with.
There’s a lot of people earning a lot of money at that football club who aren’t up to the job.
Burnley 22nd in the Championship, players not responding to coach Nicky Hayen, whacked 4-1 by Lincoln City, so no great surprise that Hayen sacked after 14 games (one win). But… even by football standards the club's curt 26-word dismissal statement is unnecessarily brutal (and naïve) for four reasons...
First, it’s classless towards a departing member of staff, however underachieving, so what does that say about the owners’ treatment of people? What message does it send to potential successors?
Second, Hayen was the board’s appointment. What does that say about their judgement? Nb: new technical director incoming who should understand football better than chairman Alan Pace.
Third, it highlights the mess, not least in recruitment, that Hayen stepped into. Did he have a chance? Relegated squad, sold best players (last two club POTYs Flemming & Esteve + Anthony), is there enough fight in the team?
Fourth, highlights the club’s financial problems. Burnley used to be well-run.
Board have to make the right appointment, remember Burnley are a football club as well as a business and engage better with increasingly disaffected fans. Burnley fans deserve better than what Pace and ALK Capital are giving them. #twitterclarets

🎪Roll up, Roll up! The Circus is in town!
ALK said they’d build something grand,
Two clubs and a masterful plan.
Now both are in the drop,
With clowns at the top,
And the circus has got out of hand.

Any reason why the club hightlights don't show the Edwards missed penalty? Hmmm @BurnleyOfficial?
