Significant investment by FPP has been made

[hank williams]

I was hoping it meant a reduction in the amount of shit on the field. Doesn’t sound like that’s in the agenda.

Just because it not mentioned doesn't mean it's not ganna happen

Imagine if they came out & said Parky got £20 million for new players the new owners would get blasted for revealing our transfer budget

Plus hasn't Parky said he'll have cash in January

 

[Secret Visage]

It's the same people under a different name. It's how they did business with the Marlins and UFC. Probably covering themselves in case this venture goes wrong.

Nope, try again.

These People act on behalf of MSD on a day to day basis.

This is a separate venture with these three at the helm hence FPP, their initials is a bit of a clue, with potentially Dell himself involved at some point.

This feels anticlimactic for some reason

 

[Left For Dead]

I cant stand all this second f***ing guessing and dragging the club down even further.

It's not " debate " its f***ing bellendery at its finest.

Spot on
I

This feels anticlimactic for some reason

its the first brick of the dortmund model

 

[chuckyroll]

Yes. Such a shame we've cocked it up this season so far with regards scouting and recruitment as I do believe it was do able without spending bucket loads. It may mean now we haven't got time to be clever and need to invest a few quid come January to get some kind of momentum going.

Ye mismanagement throughout.
Players look like strangers together on the pitch a few look unfit and disinterested too.
Got to chalk up a few wins to keep in touch

Not reading all this. Who’s not happy and why?

 

[T_Bone]

Have both mate. Cocktail evening n all that. Someone willing to launch an eight figure sum our way has to be cause for a quiet celebration. They obviously see potential in the club that some don’t want to.

Hey Norman I’ll have one for you !

But we’re not signing Messi anymore aye?

Not one to speculate, but this sounds like some investment in Capital of the parent company which will undoubtedly be linked to share conversion at specific gateways / timescales. As the value of the club increases, following promotions and improved financial management, the “investment“ converts into staged ownership. Sounds like win / win with the current management focused on achieving the associated increased club value in order to achieve the ultimate return. Think of it as incentives to perform. I suspect that the shareholding will end up having some form “A” and “B” shares.

Donald needs to walk the walk here then not just talk the talk. My view is that he would be best appointing better people than himself to make decisions.

There's a few still not happy and its the same people who are never happy so you can probably guess.

ALS getting those t-shirts out of the boxes ahead of Saturday?

This. I think there's some feeling in some way conned because multi-billionaires have only begun to show their interest in us with millions, not the billions that they are worth.

 

[LostTheDressingRoom]

The reports say around the 8 figure mark, there or there abouts

They'd moan if we'd somehow won the European cup

Probably be the UEFA cup knowing us

Question for @Grumpy Old Man if he has time.... If this is a loan will it automatically appear on companies house with a list of what it's secured against?

 

[wigwams]

Fresh air! 8 figure sum reported so minimum 10 million, between three billionaires! Yes very exciting times.

Minimum. So why not loads more. Its clearly fantastic news

 

[Kermit]

Im relieved weve managed to hook them. Great news, but we really need them fully on board. Most of the club has descended into such a poor state, i dont trust SD to make the correct decisions with the investment. Imagine hill and coton being given free reign with 10m+. It sends a shiver down the spine. We need a new broom at the top of the football side of things. Clear these jokers out and get some good people in along with a scouting system that is fit for purpose.

Aye there will be - assuming it’s a loan secured against an asset of course.

 

[CornedBeef]

Well, this has improved my night. I was hoping for a chippy tea to cheer me up. Might get 2 corned beef slice instead of 1
