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.

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.

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
