Pace is no stranger to the world of football, as his business group already owns Burnley, a team in the English Premier League. He emphasizes that the takeover is not about ownership, but about management, and that each club will retain its own identity and decision-making.

The new shareholder hopes to continue to foster a connection with the local public and environment. He believes that VSP's philosophy of responsible management aligns with Espanyol's history, loyal fan base, and deep connection to the local community.

The objective of the investment is to strengthen the sporting and institutional foundations of the club, with a focus on academies and infrastructure of international standard. Pace aims to achieve long-term success and foster an open and transparent relationship with the fans.

Pace assures that he arrives with honesty and transparency to a historic club like Espanyol, and is committed to working openly and respectfully to support the present and forge a future worthy of the club's pride and tradition.
