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). This was filmed a few weeks before the takeover was completed so there was clearly a bit of money available at that point. it makes...

Thanks CP! It's definitely our intention to do a few more 'deep dive' type episodes. We're working on getting some experts on different issues/subjects. I've not revisited his first presser for a while so definitely something to do. Interesting to note that ALK and Pace were being advised by Saatch...

More importantly, being aware of that ignorance, and as such not proffering opinions about subjects you do not have a grasp on. I ask potentially stupid questions professionally, at least as part of my job, and it doesn't half take some getting used to to get past the fear of looking like an idiot....

Another good one I will say, on reflection, that I concur with Woody and claretpete on here that there is a danger in people giving what I say to much credence in terms of being absolute truth - particularly when I am not able to produce supporting evidence, though even then others with knowledge an...

The money behind Everton's long time funding partner - Rights and Media Funding - has long been obscured though it was believed to have arrived in this country from offshore by Everton fan Paul Quinn, better known as The Esk, who I also mentioned the name of Michael Tabor, I believe.

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 £. US capital has been snapping up UK companies with that discount priced in so that might explain why ALK thought they were getting the club at a decent price...

Chester Perry

They think they bought Burnley at a cheap price. There has been a strange consensus among American investors in the game that English and European clubs are 'under-valued'. This seems to be because they compare PL club's values to those of the NFL franchises. But of course there are a ton of reason...

Assuming we are relegated,and we are top of the Championship walking through teams as we did last season,will it feel the same to you?

It's a while ago now - I think it's shocking. That's a title that has always been used as a special recognition.

I'm not sure we know (Chester might) but the problem is if they are giving away equity they are diluting their shareholding quite dramatically if you believe some of the rhetoric. Albeit I did get an explanation about the class of shares (not Chester), which left me pondering why anyone would inves...

Chester Perry

I've sometimes referred to the ALK model as being like a horse-racing syndicate - people invest for a share in the vehicle which ultimately owns the club. Am I far off the mark with that assumption CP? It is a reasonable analogy - though it is not as innovative as you may think - FSG is a similar m...

Maybe they’re worried about those points too?! Let’s be honest, Pace and his investors will be losing an astronomical amount of cash (to us mere mortals) if this all goes t!ts up. As I have posted elsewhere on this board this week, I am fairly certain that original takeover group are already in pro...

There’s only one owner who has actually come out and spoken freely about their recent accounts and that’s Paul barber at Brighton, easy to do when you have made 127m profit.

It does all seem a bit half assed.

Chester Perry references the "public lies about taking the Premier League warnings seriously" and this became abundantly clear when their Operating Loss for the last financial year was published at £89m. Never a chance that they would be within the PSR threshold of £105m. But it gets worse......I'v...

Absolutely makes a mockery of the whole system. They cheated ( there is no other word did it) the punishment should have been relegation, the same applies to Forest. By doing so it sends a strong and clear message. These points deductions are arbitrary and effectively in this case means you can che...

My head could explode at them now bringing the invasion of Ukraine in as a reason for a deduction. Plus if you are stone cold guilty why would you not cooperate? Totally corrupt w*nkers but we’ve known that for many years. IMG_4033.jpeg wasn't this part of the appeal the first time - if it was gran...

It seems that the speeded up process meant that an additional item of dispute that Everton will not admit they have got wrong - was not part of the judgement and will be heard separately after the legal teams make the appropriate preparations - likely to be next season no - it echoes Everton's argum...

Chester Perry

You do get the impression that by giving a soft penalty to Everton it means that Man City won't get punished unduly and they'll be able to easily absorb a few points without too many issues. it depends on how you see things - Everton believed they would get a zero points penalty for this hearing an...

Are Forest done and dusted with their own cheating ? or is there more to come ? They have the appeal and it will be interesting to see how their finances are this season It is also possible that Everton may have a third set of charges next season if the takeover does not go through - though there a...

I think if they let Ashworth lead, it could work out ok, but i'm unsure if they wont give in to their urge to interfere

that could be an issue, but they have recruited at higher levels than Ashworth too, so far it appears a sound plan, we will have to wait to see how it is executed

No idea, hate the fact ALK seemingly have no money of their own, everything is just borrowed using the club as leverage. Absolutely no idea how we sustain ourselves in the Championship for 2+ years.

Thought we bought him for around £11m to £12m and sold him for just under £21m. That’s the kind of numbers widely reported at the time.

I get your concern CP and share it too. But when you say “for operational and trading purposes” a more simplistic way of saying this is that they were using it to fund transfer spend…..let’s say it as it is. The fundamental issue is that the money we have spent on players has not worked out. If it ...
