Not a lot he can do if they won’t sell. I’m hoping the rumbling about changes means they may be about to let some more shares go to him/someone else.

I hope whatever he invests gets turned into more shares so he owns more of a % of the club as he spends more. I think that’s how a lot of other businesses work. Otherwise if the rumours are true he doesn’t want to spend anything while Donald and co isn’t putting anything in

Wigan didn't, Sheff Wed may have done but no-one knows how much Berahino cost. The only certainties are Ipswich and MK Dons and neither are in the playoffs

Wigan paid 600k for Jason kerr, with undisclosed fees for Jordan Jones and James McLean. They also took on wyke at 10k a week.

45% Kyril needs to start making some adult decisions. Heard he wasn’t happy at not being able to announce the full share percentage of the three clownshoes and himself.

45% is not a controlling stake, nor does it confer the unfettered right to appoint or dismiss directors, both of which KLD has said he has.

Yes, but a legally binding agreement signed between all shareholders saying he has day to day control of the business trumps this?
Or a meringue?.

Btw, KLD is unhappy this has got out and he can do bugger all about it.

It could, but it's far from desirable as anything other than a short term measure, Long term it's just asking for trouble.

We spent fuck all in the summer. Frees and loans.

Cirkin was permanent around 600k+
Some of the loans will have cost.

Potentially we're tied to Hoffmann and maybe also Dajaku - his club only.made his move permanent from Bayern when they knew we wanted him, so he's not come here for nowt.

Huggins was unlikely to be free.

Only Cirkin I think? Maybe fees for the Germans? Anyway it wasn’t a lot for a team needing to replace about ten players

We see season on season it doesn't need to be a lot at this level and we've seen personally spending a lot guarantees little.

You still have to invest at this level to get young players in from Leeds, Bayern, Spurs and to get Prichard here, even Evans and retain one or two. Then even some of the loans may have cost and then you have to have the balls to put them altogether and play them.

Investing isn't just about the transfer fee.

Man who likes football goes to watch a football team he actually owns part of. Not sure why people get so wound up about this.

Alternatively - man who continually insulted fans, presided over the club’s worst period in its history and stole money from the club attends match despite fans being told he’s no longer involved.

You don’t have to get wound up by it, but it’s condescending to say you don’t know why people get wound up by his presence.
