Alan Pace passed the Premier League's owners and directors' testNew 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. Given the measures imposed by the government to combat the coronavirus pandemic, Pace says the only places he actually knows around Burnley are Turf Moor and the local supermarket. Pace, who is a former president of MLS club Real Salt Lake, will take over as Clarets chairman from Mike Garlick. "You have one billion people interacting with you in the Premier League," he said.
