Premier League owners' net worth: How Burnley's Alan Pace compares to Man Utd, Liverpool & Co
We've taken a look at the net worth of Burnley owner Alan Pace compared to the rest of the Premier League.
The January transfer window is now open and Burnley will be eyeing up much-needed reinforcements as they desperately battle against relegation.
Scott Parker’s men have taken just two points from their last 11 matches and are without a win since late October; a run that’s seen them sink to 19th in the table. However, the Clarets are still only six points from safety and with 18 games to go, there’s plenty to play for. But if Burnley are to stand any chance of avoiding the drop, they must invest heavily in their squad this January.
Goalscorers, creators and defensive reinforcements are all required, but what sort of financial firepower will be available to them? To answer that question, a good place to start would be the net worth of Alan Pace compared to the rest of Premier League club owners.

What has Scott Parker said about transfers?
Parker is understandably looking to bring some fresh faces into the group for the second half of the season. However, Burnley must also navigate squad size and getting players out of the door to create space and raise funds. “Yeah, I think there's an opportunity for us,” Parker said ahead of the Brighton defeat on Saturday.
“But at the same time, there's a lot of dynamics. You can only name a 25-man squad and it's not as easy as just: ‘let's go and bring in five players’ when the squad is full of 25 men. "So who's going to go out the squad? These are all things that you need to navigate and you need to have an understanding of.
“So of course it is something that we have an eye on, and we'd like to try and strengthen in certain areas, especially now with someone like a Josh Cullen, who's obviously gone out with a long-term injury and we'll try and be reactive to that. "But like I said, it's not just as easy as plucking or bringing four players in because there's another four that we're going to have to tell are not in the squad for the next four months, so these are all things we'll have to manage and things that may pop up, players may be leaving, but we'll work through that in this winter.”
