Burnley launch bid to buy Tan's club

Burnley are said to be in "pole position" to buy Vincent Tan's Belgian club KV Kortrijk, which is currently in chaos ,according to reports on the continent



Due to the huge uncertainty enveloping Kortrijk, the club, like their Welsh counterparts, have been unable to appoint a new manager after it was announced Bernd Storck would leave at the end of last season.



We have kept a close eye on things in Kortrijk in recent months, with local news outlets claiming Tan is keen to sell the Jupiler Pro League side and Burnley, Bournemouth, Newcastle United and an American investment group have all been credited with interest.

Well, Belgian outlet HLN report that Burnley have made a takeover bid of €15m (£13m) for KV Kortrijk.

American investment consortium the Kaminski Group have also offered the same amount, according to the news outlet, but talks are said to be progression in the "right direction" with the Premier League-bound Clarets.

The report adds that it could all be coming to a head by the end of next week.

KVK chairman Ronny Verhelst and general manager Matthias Leterme left the club last month, citing friction with the owner. The report adds that Burnley, should they take over, want Leterme to reconsider staying.

What is player materials? That does make it sound like we are getting something out of this deal. Or have I read it wrong?

I mentioned in a similar post that Tan already has the setup that Burnley are trying to attain.

If Tan is getting rid of the Belgian club, is it the beginning of the end for his venture in football?

I do not know but Player Materials sounds like we have a part ownership on a few players?

Why sell if players could be bought through the Belgian club and they loaned to us to get round the transfer ban surely if this could be done it would make sense to keep this club until the ban is up

It could be the case that Burnley sell us 4 free transfers and then loan is 4 players via kortrijk??
