Personally I very much doubt it. For a lot of the reasons listed above I would however be worried if Newcastle or a club of their stature got taken over as they have the fan base, stadium, history ect would be a less risky project with potentially a greater award and are also up for sale. The problem for new owners is that most clubs in the division have money to spend.

Well, Burnley have history and their trophies are more recent than Newcastle’s. None of the things you mention actually matter anymore. Not compared to cash. If they did then Leeds would have half a chance.

Is that how football clubs are being gauged now?

The money on the PL comes from TV rights - unless you are one of the top six (brand wise) there is relatively little difference among clubs.
I wouldn't be so sure - Burnley and Dyche know how to scrap and they are set-up for a relegation dog-fight. If they were to win their game in hand they would be out of the relegation zone (and 2 points behind Brighton)
You can be sure the Yanks know exactly what is going on
Could happen - but in the last 3 seasons Burnley have finished comfortably above Brighton.

I don't think the idea of Burnley becoming a real threat can be ruled out if they get mega rich owners.
It's all about the TV fans these days and the potential global TV fanbase that those type of investors are interested in.
In fact the less local fans the better,then they can do what they want with less protest.

I would live around Hebden Bridge, no problem. Lovely area
Leeds do have half a chance though, they've only been back in the top flight a few months and have already secured global partnership deals, signing top European players and picking up good results. Newcastle are just a far bigger club than Burnley and dare I say an easier project for potential billionaire investors. Burnley are a great club with a lot of history but they're comfortably the least appealing team in the division to foreign investors due to their catchment area, relegation threat, current playing squad ect..
