I did not see that. But this one is a much more complete discussion of the issues and their details, including Levy's outrageous salary and bonuses!

Season ticket price hike brings club extra 3 million

Business man and all round despicable human levy gets 3 million bonus


Hhhhhmmmmmmmm

Levy out.

Can someone with a bit more nous on this subject explain to me why we're looking for investors? If the ultimate goal is to remain sustainable then what on earth is new investment being sought for? How much of it can actually be used? I find it really odd.

Rothchilds you say

christ, here come the conspiracy theorists.

If ENIC are deciding to sell some of their shares in the short term, you would hope the new investor will be allowed to pump in funds to help with the first team recruitment, funds to service our debt, which would release more funds for the first team and probably from Levy's POV, provide loans to build the other real estate around the ground. And of course give ENIC a return on their initial investment. Levy annoucing Roshchilds yday could be a way of starting an auction, similar to Utd with the Sheikh and Sir Jim. I was thinking yday he might have someone lined up but he would want max value so an auction would make more sense.

In longer term, it would give the new investor an opportinity to buy a majority shareholding IF ENIC ever decided to sell.

That's my hunch anyway

News just in that Premier League clubs are considering abolishing the points deduction thing claiming that PSR isn't working. This is so feckin typical. The big boys don't like it so they'll scrap it. What a joke. They can't be trusted to make their own rules. It's completely absurd.

Introducing a luxury tax will do nothing to stop the likes of City and Newcastle dominating. They don't care about the money. Feck me. This is such a feckin joke.

Depends our much tax they have pay. The taxed money would be distrubuted between the clubs who play within the rules.

We've been linked with investors for a while.

Why though? What difference does a cash injection make in an age where you have to be self-sustainable. I don't know why ENIC would need to sell to investors if that investment can't be legally used.

As I understand it, owners can offset spending by buying owner's shares. That's what the article's saying init?

But yeah, they can't just come in and chuck money at transfers

So this is more about ENIC getting money back for spending last summer or this coming summer. Still find it baffling if it's investor money.

Sir Jim has made £300m available for united as part of his deal over the course of two years. In theory this can be used to sign players, write off losses for PSR or used for capital to build a new stadium.

Sorry $300m*

Yeah that's right. He bought $300m in additional shares

The main beneficiary of any investment will always be ENIC.

Not sure if the $300m for liquidity is addional to the $1.3b paid to the Glazers.

That's how it reads to me

Sir Jim will provide a $300 million fund intended to enable future investment into the Club’s infrastructure at Old Trafford, comprising $200 million paid upon the closing of the transaction and a further $100 million by the end of 2024. Trawlers Limited will be issued additional Class A and Class B shares at $33.00 in respect of such investment.
