Considering the "wealthy" new owners used some small unknown asset finance broker from the North East as their "advisors", it does look as if their idea was always to borrow money on the ground, the stadium, the plant/equipment, etc via mortgages/re-leasing, rather than put money in themselves. I was surprised at the time, any genuinely wealthy buyers would be using the large respectable solicitors/accountants as their advisors, not what appears to be some small-time brokers. I hope that they havn't actually done any loans/lease back deals and just pocketed the money leaving the club worse off than before

seems only to apply to british people. how many other foreign owners are going to be allowed to interfere with our game. no good seems to come out of their involvment just loads of hassle for the fans. cardiff and blackburn are good examples and the glazers spawned a breakaway club. the whole thing about foreign ownership needs looking at quickly by the sweet f.a.

Against assets aswell so if it does go tits up they've not a got a stand to stand on to paraphrase
Nothing recent there though so nothing sinister in light of recent events. Most recent is PFA from April
hartlepools could be next. getting loans, unpaid income tax, unhappy fans that can,t seem to get to the bottom of whats going on. worrying times for my townsfolk.
Hope not small clubs are really struggling more than ever it seems these days.
While the big clubs get richer and richer, without a care for the poorer clubs. Some players earn in a week enough money to allow a small club to survive for a year.

It would be a nice idea if the over paid 'elite' players of the Premier League each adopted a club from the lower divisions and non league in order to put some of their earnings back into grass roots football! They could then turn up to watch 'their adopted team' occasionally which might help increase the gate and give the smaller clubs a bit of publicity too.

Maybe, but it would severely reduced the profits at the tattoo parlours.
And the knocking shops.

I venture to suggest RR that when the Financial Directors of the BIG Clubs get into their pecuniary mode and rub their grubby hands together, the farthest thought in their collective minds will be for the plight, or even the survival of the Morecambe and Hartlepool of this world !.
Unfortunately, this status quo is unlikely to change very little if at all whilst those who control our game also reap personal and corporate fortunes from their involvement in this fiscal merry-go-round.
The love of money, whilst being evil, as a reliable source would decree, is as prevalent in our game as in every other profit making organisation, and the inherent weakness of man in respect to feathering his own nest at the expense of his poorer neighbour will always direct his behaviour.
Now there's a philosophical thought to end my year on !...
Thought he was already 47, trying to emulate the great Sir Stanley Matthews!
No, Sir Stanley didn't mind playing in puddles
But ?..and I say this in all sincerity Diane !..somewhere in your mind's eye can you not see Kevin making a contribution to the search for the missing ingredients in t'Stanley's current non-striking strike force ?.
Just ignoring his apparent dislike of standing water on the playing area, if you were buying some January dead-legs or maybe a wide-eyed and fresh-faced ex-academy babe, would you not think "Hey !...Kevin Ellison just might be the one ! ".
Trusting you are well .
