I’ve seen this Nixon guy mentioned quite a lot in the last couple of seasons and in my mind I had him has that ex Mag reporter that looked like worzel gummidge. A quick google image search suggests it’s not him.

Who am I thinking of? Who was the worzel like mag again?

Getting 60 odd million refinanced on what our income will be, will be a right challenge.

What finance you can attract depends on assets as much as income. The SoL alone has an investment property valuation pushing £100m. £66m would be a stretch, but knock of the £20m bond, and summer incoming transfers, which could realistically be £20-25m, and the remaining £25-30m ought to be able to be rolled over into a new 5-10 year loan.

I don't get it
  • They both took over PL clubs
  • They both relegated said PL clubs to League One, clubs that shouldn't really be there
  • None of them 'care' and none of them turn up
  • Neither of them currently spend bugger all on transfer funds, even when needed on the pitch
  • If anything, the Venky's have probably got Blackburn's financial situation more stable than Short has ours
Sometime I think the only difference between Short and the Venky's is the colour of their skin.

Venkys sacked Allardyce and replaced him with Steve Kean resulting in relegation. Short seen the FA poach Allardyce and replaced him with a reputedly competent premier league manager and the result was relegation.

I think the main difference is the Venkys inexplicably sacked a successful manager and replaced him with a novice.

They didn't make a bid, which indicates that the problem was getting the right investors on board from their end rather than a Short issue.

Basically a lot of deals work best with a 'lead' investor who has a substantial proportion (50%+) of the money involved. I can imagine this was a tough sell.

Or that the Club just isn't financially viable. Not bidding or offering less than asking price doesn't mean they don't have enough money.
