– For the second year in a row, an American company is trying to buy a Premier League soccer team, reports Reuters. This time it’s Capital LLC, which is led by Alan Pace, who once ran Major League Soccer’s Real Salt Lake and now works as a Wall Street exec. The bid for Burnley is at an “advanced stage” and Pace is expected to play a major role in running the club, sources say. The move follows similar attempts by American investors to buy two other Premier League teams.
