Well obviously (!) the investor could spread equity purchases over five years. What do you do in Year Six?

Big players reportedly out of contract at the end of the season. Who would you offer a new one to and who would you release to spend on other players: Stevens, Sasu, Browne, Hippolyte, Smith, Seddon and Johnson.

Would want to keep Smith, Seddon and Hippolyte. Stevens and Browne injured too much
If Google AI is not lying to me then you can split that £2.5 million for a £500k/year increase for five years due to way you list the income. Or a £1.25 increase over two years.

Should I know better than to trust an AI?
Do you mean Championship (old Div 1) or Lge 1? Your terminolocgy mixing old and bew structures is confusing !

In that wxample Silk, the £2.5m would be a "one-off", and as we all must know, you don't invest one off income into ongoing operations

Are we not in division one?

If we take our club as being worth £25 and they buy 20% then that would be £5 million which would only add £2.5 million to the budget. Unfortunately the £5 million would probably have to be used to pay off the bonds. Especially those due so that lowers the potential amount they can add to the budget. Not enough to make any real difference. Unless we are selling more than the 50+1. Even then it may be better spent on the stadium rather than the team.

I do not know if the sales of shares means the bonds have to be paid off first - do not know the legal side of that.
Silk, we're allowed to spend 50% on players including managemenr & coaching so, on basis the our turnover is about £11m, we can spend £5.5m, so a little increase but probably a lot smaller than some imagine

Any investor will obviously want to maintain our division one status.

For an equity investment they can add 50% of it to the playing budget. Whether they will or should is another matter.

You can't up spending with loans though.
Not sure about Stevens any more, Browne is so in and out too.

Tactic 1: Boot it to Sasu.
Tactic 2.......

I think I will be leaving early. Shambles.
Even if we do get taken over there is little the new owners can do to improve the squad as I think we are near our cap for football spending. They can only add to the budget with spending on non-football items. They cannot just add to the budget.
17th Oct 2026 15:48:45
[82.lo.gg.ed]
Also we are missing Browne, Tilley and Stevens all who will add to the quality of the squad.
Can't keep up with score. Papers will comment on our relegation this season for sure
