My money would be on the latter Edited August 31, 2021 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Yeah I probably posted it, £0 of owner financing (loans and share capital). Money out goes on the loan repayments. Money in tops up that loan. Loan is repayable upon demand which is probably part of the £300m for the club Edited August 31, 2021 by nbthree3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t you paid attention to anything that man has done Assuming he wants to put more cash in, which based on the lack of spending is debatable, to get that loan repaid he'd have to take the money back out of the club which reduces the value. Yes he could sell ASM or whoever, but that loses a valuable asset which reduces the price of the club. The difference to last time is that he actively wants to sell the club now. I'm not sure he'd have the desire to pump money in that he's not guaranteed to get back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Ashley has checked out, not a penny spent on transfers, St James or basic infrastructure maintenance, he's after a payout from the EPL and then he will sell to one of these leverage takeover groups that will pay him over a few years and he keeps a stake until he's paid off.
