Cash flow problems?

 

 

The sale proceeds won't go to Ashley, they will stay in SD. It does show signs that SD's shopping spree is starting to weigh on their balance sheet. Hopefully they keep it up and MA disposes of NUFC to rescue his baby.

Also, my first thought this might be a nifty way for MA to put cash into the business for some better security than just equity, but if it was a related party transaction then it would have to be disclosed. The company they sold it to appears to have been formed so quickly it hasn't even appeared on Companies House yet (or perhaps is an offshore vehicle).

Is it another Ashley company that he has his fingers in?
