Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Be interesting to see the reaction if it was an american investor coming in but saying he wanted his own people on the board. Would there be a different reaction now to what there was back then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did we’d probably be the only club in the world that lets others know our transfer kitty. We need every advantage going forward I agree we don't need an exact figure, but too much vagueness allows for backpedalling later. We do have to know very significant investment is forthcoming. The retaliation from fans who renewed only to find they'd been diddled with the same old, same old, would not be pretty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy 1,308 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 While we are in this mickey mouse league, nobody is going to come in with big money. I watched Ian Wright saying rumors of Arsenal putting in £50M was chicken feed. LOL, if we get near £10M it'll be a King's ransom, pardon the pun.

On the other hand, we’re making the quantum leap of directors’ loans & 2nd tier finance houses to bridge our funding gap, to being able to reassure SG that he’ll have a decent pot to spend. It’s not unreasonable to expect some sort of confirmation as to how this is going to happen. In house yes - I am sure that detail will be shared. Externally at a media conference- not a chance. Hopefully Words like “significant” and “substantial” and perhaps a new funding partnership maybe touted but non of the specifics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe Mini would throw his toys out the pram like that. Not over a few comments about his hair. The man is a perpetual Klingon who sold his soul to get on that board and I reckon he'd be virtually impossible to shift, especially with the Gerrard situation. He hasn't run to the papers either, which makes it doubly strange. A decision has been taken that has made his position untenable. Whether that involves Minty or Ashley or someone else remains to be seen, but we don't have all the bits of the jigsaw to put it together yet.

born a blue nose 90,861 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 If it's true we're looking at getting torres I'd be trying to get the ex man u winger memphis Depay.

gruggs 221 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Can't win no matter what they do (if there is actually investment at all). On one hand people will demand to know the number and be totally sceptical (rightly so) of words ole substantial etc with no transparency. On the other hand people will shout that we have just driven prices up on ourselves by announcing an investment figure etc. I would settle for the first option even if it leaves us all unsure as to the exact investment in the playing squad (which will differ to overall investment). Makes the summer exciting hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooblue 1,973 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 There's no need for King to provide specific details of incoming investment today, but he could cover the key bases by indicating that the outstanding loans and debts are going to be cleared, and the new manager will be given a significant budget to improve the playing squad. He chould also clarify the situation regarding his current breach of the court order. If he does all that, it will be a positive outcome. Do I expect him to? No, don't think so. I think it will all be a bit more vague and woolly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will all be a bit more vague and woolly. I too would hope that he will clarify that all loans etc will be cleared via upcoming share issue. I would like him to clarify on the breach and I'm hoping it's "well I'm selling my stake to X and they will obtain more than 30% of the shareholding and therefore they will be required to make the offer to the shareholder base, therefore making my offer redundant" Bit too much to hope for though lol.
