They'll probably force them to replay the game and West Brom will win the replay. Should be a points deduction for both teams if the Premier League finds that the rules have been broken. If what SA has said is correct, West Ham agreed to transfer RS with an agreement that he be left out of the game...

The Times report: ‘We could only do deal with this agreement’ – Robert Snodgrass deal under scrutiny Gary Jacob, Matt Lawton Wednesday January 20 2021, 12.01am, The Times The Premier League last night launched an investigation after Sam Allardyce said he did not include Robert Snodgrass in his West ...

I guess that depends on the portfolio size. I've seen various figures ranging from $10bn to $34bn so it could be a pretty small element. Hi aggi, even if we take the $34bn number, placing over £100 million with English football clubs is a "big position." As I say, even MSD guys have got the knowled...

My free 30 day trial was due to end yesterday and was hoping to maybe get another trial with my wife`s email address for the West Ham game today. Went into the Prime Video app on my TV and I`m still able to watch programmes on there despite expecting the free 30 day trial to have ended yesterday. S...

This is what our friend The Esk had to say about them http://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20891&start=6053 as for CDO's, I suspect that banks that "factor" such as MacQuarie and Barclay's may do it, but it will be more difficult for non mainstream lenders (which tend to be ...

the suspicion is that the MSD loan is all money from Michael Dell's family office, he rarely goes to market to raise funds but uses them to spread his funds around the world often via tax efficient locations such as the Guernsey Stock Exchange. from his perspective a 9%+ interest rate is a great re...

Your time, effort and commitment to his thread and your own in depth is much appreciated Paul. Can I just pick up on these two points. As always, I hope I'm wrong, but I feel MSD/P couldn't give two hoots whether any of their footie investments fail, as of course, their loan is secured on high valu...

The article is awkward in this specific area - it says it has used £55m of Burnley's own cash reserves yet that doesn't add up (even using the lower parameters of the figures offer by the media for borrowings and up front stake) £102m initial payment less £10m upfront and approx £60m from MSD sugge...

I think Pace being an experienced football man is somewhat over-egged. In a long career he's spent 18 months over a dozen years ago at a nascent MLS team with a turnover of £5m, that's a world away from a premier league team. For what it's worth I don't disagree with exciting times. Whether it is g...

This is a point of view and I actually think it's helpful in understanding where you're coming from - illuminating even. However, it's not a point of view that I share. Football clubs are not simply assets. They are not cars, teapots, widgets, they are not even equivalent to standard businesses whe...

But don't you think that it's easier to spend money when you have got some to spend? We went into this transfer window, or should have, with a large bank balance and no debt. Now we have no money and a lot of debt. How are we going to spend money? The excitement so far is that Burnley FC appear to ...

Sorry Paul, but “we” have lifetimes of emotional and cultural investment in this Club which isn’t shared by a bunch of financiers who arrived a couple of weeks ago. I think “we” have the right to be concerned that the new owners have taken control of our club using very little of their own money an...

Southampton posted their results last night and announced it as a post balance sheet event http://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20891&start=6059 Thanks, CP.

I have a suspicion that if someone emptied your bank account and took out a mortgage on your behalf, you wouldn't be quite so appreciative. Hmm, we do all know that ALK owns Burnley Football Club and that it's ALK who have taken out a loan and ALK who are using the club's cash? It would be shocking...

Paul Waine

I see that Southampton’s loan with MSD Holdings is ~ £80m with interest at 9.14% giving an annual interest charge of £7.2 million. Probably gives a flavour of what we may be looking at if the reported figures are correct. Hi aggi, where are you seeing these details on Soton's loan? Is there any dat...

Brownhill was disclosed in the last accounts as they weren't signed off until February. A takeover would have to be disclosed as a post balance sheet event but, as others have said, I'd be amazed if they weren't signed off before the takeover happened. Thanks, aggi. It was too late last night for m...

What this paragraph is saying is that before the takeover, the business had cash in hand to pay the workers; after the takeover, that cash has all gone, the business has a mortgage, and will need to take out more mortgages to carry on paying the workers. Exciting times indeed. As the Arab curse use...

Major post balance sheet events have to be reported even though they didn't happen during the year. So if the accounts for the period ending last summer were not yet finalised, they would have to include an outline of what has just happened. If the accounts have already been signed, they won't have...

I think the mistake that many are making, in part prompted by some of the posters on this board, is that American private equity buys a football club for any reason other than to make a profit. I said somewhere way back when that Burnley FC and American private equity make strange bedfellows but I ...

Paul the 200% article also doesn't say that none of the original £500m + borrowed has ever been repaid, or that the Glazers never intend to repay the loan, similarly there is no mention of the dilapidated state Old Trafford is in now in or how the £1billion + taken out to service loans, lenders, di...

A nice update, but isn't this a case of days and nothing to do with being hopeful? I thought it was a matter of fact - they isolate for 10 days and that's end of chat? Which means they have to miss the game, regardless? Sean Dyche says the 4 isolators are available, so their periods of self-isolati...

Essential reading for every single Burnley fan. We are Burnley not Manchester United. Very, very apprehensive. Hi Royboy, I don't think we need to be too concerned at what 200% write, their article is full of inconsistencies. Taking the ManU stuff first: they talk of all the money leaving the club ...

Which to me was an indicator that MG was looking to sell and cash in his investment. Post profits, cash in the bank, minimise headcount, all things you would do when positioning a business for sale. I was told that a prudently run business looks similar to one that is being set up for sale, clearly...

Man U. have arguably the world's biggest fan base so there is no shortage of income to repay the owners.

If they have put more than £10 in as equity shares, they havent informed Companies House yet. Mind you, it looks like they haven't told them about the changes in directorships either :shock: Agree.

I suppose the biggest question is how those additional instalments are being funded. I hope MG/JB have put some clauses in the deal on how much of the future instalments can be funded through debt. That then puts the focus on ALK raising funds through investors. Hi New, I'd be very surprised if MG/...

The £10/15m is unlikely to have been put in as equity, it'll be a directors' loan with a nominal amount of equity. Hi, Tall Paul, I'm raising an eyebrow at the idea that Velocity Sports can borrow £60m while it has only £10 of equity. (Yes, £10, not £10 million). However good the club's assets are ...

I have edited my post about the use of cash in the business to make it clearer that if true it is likely (temporarily) reducing the debt (or equity required) rather than helping to "purchase the business".

Paul. If I read correctly your hypothesising a scenario that ALK will only fully own the club after 3 more years of prem football have been secured.
