Alan Pace Nears Finalization of Espanyol Takeover, Reassures Fans of His Enthusiasm

Regulatory approvals are in motion ahead of a September close, when an extraordinary general meeting will install a new board and president

Overview

Velocity Sports Limited, led by Alan Pace, is set to acquire Rastar Group’s 99.66% stake in RCD Espanyol pending final procedural steps.
Rastar Group retains a 16% share in both Espanyol and the holding company controlling Burnley FC under the new arrangement.
Pace’s recent social media post clarified that his silence during the sale process was a sign of respect for the club and not a lack of excitement.
His team has reached out to club insiders and foreign correspondents to build confidence among supporters throughout the transition.
Espanyol and Burnley FC will remain independently managed despite being part of Velocity Sports’s multi-club portfolio.
