Various: Mike Ashley in talks with Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan


Recommended Posts

It's in relation to the suggestion that fans should throw chocolate coins on the pitch.

 

Whoever posted obviously not very bright thinking that the club wouldn't see this, if they had thrown something on the pitch (obviously didn't happen), then they would have deserved to be banned.

 

Think the flyers are the best way forward tbh

Only if we fail to make payments isn't it? I imagine the club are using a loan to pay for Miguel Almiron upfront and are using TV revenue as collateral

 

Which would raise the question... why? When we were £20m+ in profit from the summer??!!

Didnt you hear? It's all been spent on lawyers as he's desperately trying to sell the club.

There was mention he repaid some of his loans in the summer so there wasn't actually all that cash available. Could be why.

 

how the hell does he value the cub at £300m then - because its a cash cow for the fat cunt.

Baffled me this like. Where the fuck has all the tv money gone? The 23 million profit from the summer?

If he’s took TV money out to repay his loans then a lot if not all of the money from last season will be gone. This season’s money hasn’t finished being payed yet, we are due some next month and of course at the end of the season. Assuming Ashley has taken money from last seasons money then you would assume that the money we have received this season has been put aside for wages and other costs. It would then mean that we would just be short of the money for transfers until we receive the rest of the money for this season and would need a short term loan or overdraft to see us through until then to cover the transfer fee’s.

Of course the wider question really is where has the money gone if he’s not payed back his loans, and why it took us until the 22nd of January to organise a loan for January transfer funds.

He's not borrowing against the tv money specifically. Any company that takes out a loan will need to grant security over an income stream to support it. Typically, any bank will ask for that loan to be secured against as many assets/income streams as possible. The TV money is naturally included in that.

 

It's not that the TV money is being paid to the bank, its just being used as security should the club default on the loan. It's pretty standard practice.

Surely a club making money means it's worth decent cash to an investor

Is this not just re-establishing the clubs revolving credit facility - overdraft.

 

It’s a cash flow thing nothing else

 

We've only previously had that when we've been relegated though haven't we ? And that's always been paid back on promotion.

One positive is that it indicates that Ashley has been 'paying himself back' a huge amount of money and, if we do stay up this season, we might no longer be in debt to him. That could make the sale of the club much more straightforward.

 

this sort of naievity really needs looking at. he is taking money out without reducing the debt.
