This ties in with 6 million spend What makes you think we'll only spend £6m? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they going to tell us their plan to challenge celtic? i dont think this is the end of the world but its just underwhelming like pretty much everything else this board has done I agree, the 6m is to be raised from a share issue but TAB blocked King from doing one until he complies to the ruling, so money needs to be factored in for that.

He's trying to protect his shareholding and get the price up before raising a shed load but he's taking an almighty gamble this way. I think SG is mad What do you d for a living? If you're capable of generating that sort of income for the club why don't you do something about it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought most contributors would have gone for the first one or am I missing something ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyBlue 17,113 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Surely there has to be more to this than DK is letting on, the idea of £6m is embarrassing, and SG surely to fuck wouldnt have been signing anything with those figures being banded about.

You would think King sat down in that conference today and said our new managers entire budget is the money from this share issue not a penny more. Some on here need to take a deep breath. Gerrard is not risking his managerial future with us, if he didn't have cast iron guarantees about his transfer budget. Let's see what we actually spend first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe SG would risk his brand without having something in writing. I also believe the board waited for res 11 to be passed for a reason,otherwise they would have already done a rights issue. Outside investment must be being looked at, unless King has found himself a sugar daddy to fund SG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,361 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Don’t understand why Guardian is taking stick. This is the same board that claimed finishing 2nd/3rd would be ‘ahead of the curve’ they aren’t putting big money in to compete with the scum, not a chance. You’re deluding yourself if you think otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
