I apologise then, it's just to me you seemed to suggest that the £100m sale price was intended to be ploughed into the club and were saying that directors would take half of it? It is theirs to sell, they bought it, they can now sell it. They will pocket it all, the whole £100m.

They had to sell sooner or later Pembroke. We have all been saying for years that they cannot continue to compete at that level without investment. They needed to expand that stadium and couldn't finance it as well as spend what they need on players each season to stay up there. This way they can. It is just a question of what the future holds and how the new owners run it. Huw Jenkins is remaining in his position which is a positive for them, although from what I can gather he is not Mr Popular down there at the moment due to the way he has handled this takeover business.

Jenkins and co are cashing out at the right time in my opinion, they can't take the Jacks any further than they have. I'd line my pockets too if I was them. If I had a pound for every time I have read someone predict the downfall of the Jacks on here i'd have enough money to buy the Jerks four times over.


If you say so! :thumbup: :notworthy: :wave:

I think the £50 million investment is on top of what they normally have available through club funds, as a sort of condition of sale. Otherwise it is not investment but just spending club funds as per usual and wouldn't be news worthy. They usually spend £30 million a season or there abouts don't they.

The training ground is finished so it is the purchase and expansion of the Liberty left to complete, which Google tells us will cost £50 million, which is obviously what the Yanks are bringing to the table in terms of their investment and ties in with the reported £50 million investment.

They will then have the usual £30 million to improve playing staff PLUS whatever extra revenue they get for SKY this year, which I think is another £25 million... which will probably go on the wage structure.

The jacks had to have a loan last year and that's a fact they had major cash flow problems around Christmas time and had to get a 13m loan to solve it

I did, couldn't find anything. Stick a link up here.

If it is just to cover a cash flow issue, im not sure that constitutes financial problems. All football clubs encounter cashflow problems due to the timings of certain payments and amortised transfers. But saying that... £13m sounds hefty.
