It is worthwhile adding to this thread the three new members of the ownership group discussed on the From The Bee Hole End Podcast thread over the weekend Eugene Kan https://hk.linkedin.com/in/eugenekan who had this to say about his involvement https://www.linkedin.com/posts/eugenekan_utc-activity-7...

Part of me thinks MSP have taken this action because, their assuming control would require them to make a significant lump sum repayment to Rights and Media Funding together with the possibility of having to pay 777 Partners what they have loaned the club, which is a significant refinancing act whe...

So if MSP insist on full payment today and 777 can't pay without another loan, MSP get the stadium ( and club) ? Would they have to pass the relevant tests re fit ownership ? If they were to become directors certainly, but the two Evertonians Andy Bell and George Downing, who were scheduled to join...

Interesting CP… post mentions the new talents and a certain Burnley-born fashion designer Aitor Throup. Could be in for very some interesting new merch if Aitor is involved.

On a bit of a segway from Merch, I have had a feeling that fan and the local community has been targeted to make up for the lack of commercial growth at the club since the takeover - so I have been looking at the sources of non tv income at BFC, and put together this table - it will be much more int...

We had a previous owner who sold Turf Moor and the training ground to a company based in a tax haven and kept it secret for months until I stumbled across it on a company database.

I doubt many fans knew what a horrendous financial position we were in before the play off final in 2009, yet we were on the verge of administration.

4m in the last accounts then nearly 7m Feb to Feb.

Yeah they certainly spent a lot. The initial video which they put out was orchestrated by Saatchi and Saatchi and wasn't cheap (for what was a simple interview video).

More importantly, being aware of that ignorance, and as such not proffering opinions about subjects you do not have a grasp on.

I think a big factor in that mindset that sometimes goes unnoticed is the strength of the US dollar in recent years, especially against the £.
