Is that you Sir Jim Ratcliffe ? 😆

Only put money in if you get shares in return seems a reasonable trade off…

What do you think the real reason for the BBE closure is ? If funds expected from India haven’t arrived, the funding of working capital has to come from the UK businesses. If Waggott thinks it costs more to open & run the BBE than the marginal income (for that game) it would bring in, why isn’t that the reason ? 🤔 Not saying I agree with the proposition BTW, but the logic holds…doesn’t it ?

Not many mainstream banks will lend to football clubs outside the top six in the PL. There are some niche lenders like Dell & Macquarie that will but charge extortionate amounts. If you have a property asset and you want to raise funds against it when a bank isn’t interested, then a property development company is a logical alternative. The issue here is whether it’s short term or part of a genuine attempt to unlock value in Brockhall by re-developing. CROSSBARON seem to be property development. VC funding is typically for start ups…and usually involves share capital rather than loans…

Sorry to ruin a great post…😆

Given we know that Venky’s are struggling to send money to the UK then realistically, their options to raise working capital have to be based around UK assets. Mortgaging the training ground to raise funds is arguably therefore a sensible course of action…the only other plausible way to raise cash in the UK in a hurry is sell players. It might be short-term…it might not. Given that the company taking the charge is worth only £500k I doubt we are looking at massive fund raising at this juncture. Two things to watch out for:- 1. How much interest is now payable, when & presumably this must come from football operations ? 2. New applications for planning permission on the Brockhall estate which would suggest it’s a more substantive arrangement

The catering is outsourced isn’t it ? I suspect that’s so the club can distance themselves from the operational detail TBH.
