  1. would require a massive change of rules to allow it I'd say since I recall some rule against the same person/organisation owning 2 different clubs not to mention restrictions on the amount of loans a club can have. But certainly any big club in a locality should so as much as possible to help out the smaller ones around it as much as permissible

     

    Who actually owns the B&W's is it Ashley, Sports Direct ,  a holding company or NUFC with Llambias as the front man even though we  know Ashley pulls the strings, thinking out loud appears to me that Darlo could become a subsiduary of Sports Direct with a new chairman running things,plenty of companies out acting as subsiduarys such as Thomson Holidays, etc etc in which the mother ship is TUI but is allowed to operate independently,so I think these issue'scan be circumvented.

  2. I didn't understand what a leveraged buyout was but having found this below it all makes sense.

     

     

    A leveraged buyout is where an investor group acquires a business using mainly borrowed money. The amount of equity finance used in these deals is usually very small and 80% or more the finance for the deal takes the form of debt. Much of this debt is likely to take the form of 'junk bonds', which carry a high rate of interest, reflecting the risks of carrying such a high level of debt. This means there is a strong incentive for the investors to pay down the debt as quickly as possible. Investors aim to use the cashflows of the acquired business to repay the interest on the debt. Frequently, the bidder will also raise cash to pay down the debt by selling parts of the acquired business. As the debt is paid off, the value of the investors' equity rises. Their aim is ultimately to realise the value of their equity by selling the business or floating it on the stock market.LBOs became common in the US in the late 1980s but were slower to take off in the UK. During the 1990s, there was a sharp rise in the number of private equity groups looking for LBO deals. But LBOs are highly risky, particularly in an economic downturn when it becomes harder to repay debt or to find a suitable 'exit' - i.e. sell the business.

     

     

     

    It appears to me this is exactly what he (Ashley) is upto "Paying down the debt quickly to palm us of and him to make a buck, problem of course nobody wants us!!!

  3. Everyone blames everyone else when in reality all are to blame. Scousers for attempting to get in by any means possible,police lack of control. Ibrox had there issues when fans left the ground down the stairs only to attempt a return back up them when they (Rangers ) I believe got an equalizer, its all down to the herd instinct and all wanting something for nowt. Sorry but in my opinion ultimatley the biggest fault was with the fans no one else.

  4. yep Barton went to assist Gervinho to get off the ground, but!! Gervinho then turned on Barton as Barton helped him get up! which caused the fracas, watch iplayer and you can clearly see the offence happening, funny how the stamping has drifted into the background and all the emphisis is on Barton starting the bother.
