That article talks of the threat of Bankruptcy, and yesterday PCP changed its name on companies house? Linked?

Also, the loan seems to be from 2008 when she worked on the Barclays thing, that she then lost the damages case for. Maybe she intended to pay it off if she won that, but then, didn't.

But hopefully a storm in a teacup, and as said above, this can go away for her in one form or other.

For all the whinging I genuinely think that FFP has been good for us.
 

The way PIF are currently running the Saudi clubs gives a glimpse into what we could have expected had there been no limits on what we could spend. And I’m not sure it would’ve paid dividends.


I agree, this is more fun. Also if we were spending untold amounts on players funded entirely by PIF it could end in a moments notice. With the way the club is being built now even if PIF lose interest or want to cash in in a decade we will likely be an extremely strong club with significant revenues and spending capabilities.

Aye defo, they’ve saved it for now. 

Scary how much they’ve transformed us and it feels like we’ve seen nothing yet. 

Would be a great track pre match. “Ba, ba, ba, ba,baby, you just ain’t seen nothing yet!”

Which outlet has led you to believe that? Most if not all of the reporting I’ve read has been accurate in regards to our ownership structure.


Sure PIF has made the headlines but that is good reporting based on the fact they are the 80% majority owners and the fact they are the controversial element of the consortium.

PIF are apparently interested in Santos who are in financial trouble and looking to be bailed out.

Yes please. Huge and popular club. And play in B&W. Source?

“There’s a strategy in place,” the senior figure says. “It’s not random. We will go for big players but the price has to make sense and it’s all about what our needs are. At no point do we have the intention of making a statement signing. The intention is to get the right player, the right character, the right position, the right fit. Sandro is a marquee addition, yes, but what’s important is these guys believe in our story and what we’re offering them — the opportunity for greatness.”

 

A case in point: Declan Rice. While Howe and Newcastle are full of admiration for the England midfielder, who is joining Arsenal from West Ham United, they are not yet at the stage where they can pay £100million-plus and a weekly wage of more than £200,000 for a single player, who wants “all the bells and whistles”. Their approach from day one has been to develop and grow, develop and grow.

 

The hope is that Tonali can be “as good as Rice, maybe better, but “we’d rather do it this way. We want to be No 1, but in the right way; smart, sustainable, different to everyone else. We’re not spending Manchester United, Manchester City or Arsenal money. It’s smart for us and it’s good for him as well. These boys are coming to us to be part of history.”

 

 

Was thrilled to read this in The Athletic's write-up of the Tonali transfer. Particularly the bit in bold.
