Burnley takeover: New owner Alan Pace promises 'unique' approach

New Burnley owner Alan Pace says he intends to adopt a unique approach to running the Premier League club.

Pace's ALK Capital Investment Group has spent around £170m to take an 84% controlling stake in Burnley.

Unlike most of the Premier League's overseas owners, American Pace has moved to the UK from New York to take a hands-on role in running the Clarets.

"I don't think you have ever seen anyone like me," said the 53-year-old former Wall Street banker.

"You certainly haven't seen someone like me come in to run a football club and interact and live with the community where they are going to operate.
