Keegans Export Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Villa are in a similar position to us - rich owners (I think?) but no clear path to just loading money into the business. I wonder whether the PL are also starting to scrutinise things like owner loans to the business? Would explain why two clubs with fairly wealthy owners are turning to the banks.

Even those who have tons of cash know its wiser to use the bank credit facilities to finance your business, its quite common practice and at least it shows intent to actually invest properly.

Fantail Breeze Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 May be wrong as I know fuck all about this, but I assumed we had moved from Barclays to HSBC due to Staveley’s conflict with them and the ‘lending’ is just an overdraft secured against our known future income?

STM Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I'm sure this will amount to nothing but isn't it nice that the people who own/run our club are networking with other European clubs. Hopefully this is happening at every home and away game. Who knows, next time we need to arrange a friendly or buy a player, we might have decent relations with other clubs. It might not seem alot but it matters having personable people around the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After last season's PR frenzy, I wonder if they've collectively decided to engage less. Busy bees, and all that. Maybe that'll be one of Eales' roles. Aye, it's noticeable. But like you say this club was a clip and there is probably a hell of a lot of work to be done in the background. I'm holding my counsel until the ownership fully plays their cards. They've done immeasurably good things since they've came in, but really these were just the normal things club owners do. Mike Ashley has warped things a lot in 15 years or whatever for the fans.

TBG Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) If you ignore all of the off the field appointments and ongoing appointments, the investment into the stadium, the search for a new training ground, the search for new commercial deals and the money already spent on signings, then it's clear the new owners have lost interest.

I might come across as negative, but more cautious after being burned really. I'm happy with my lot so far and feel they've delivered on their early promises so all good.
