Our cash balance has increased to over £20m. Not sure we have cash flow issues. .... Not yet at least, but the accounts do mention Accruals and deferred income of £52.5m If we consider that cash position and that the accounts run to the end of July 2023 The club had been holding the receipts of rec...

Chester Perry

Yes but that's where we disagree. I think prudence also means spending enough money to ensure the viability of the playing assets. The protestations that the cost of Covid, around £50 million, could ruin the club looked somewhat hollow when he sold to ALK who immediately took £50 million out of the...

Chester Perry

He was signed late but not to the extent that you could say he was signed because the others were failures. I think Garlick ran the club very prudently until 2018/19 but PL broadcast revenue is well over a £100 million and PL clubs have to spend a lot of money, which we haven't until this summer. A...

What no one talks about is the time lost by the delay - we are told that the game is hot on the issue of time wasting but this can contribute as much time wasted as keepers splatting themselves on the ground with no one near them

the issue of injuries arising is probably a more serious one

Chester Perry

I think we all suffer from bias and the more you accept your own bias the less inclined you are to expect people or even want people to trust you. But yes, your contributions on the finances have made this forum an informed and reliable source of information. But do I trust you on Garlick? I guess ...

Chester Perry

With all due respect Chester, how much credence would you give someone on here making vague claims that seems to run counter to the evidence - if it wasn't you doing it? trust is earned and those who have been given it have to treat it with care, more so in an environment such as a message board - ...

I think most would be surprised Chester but that doesn't necessarily make it true .

I believe it to be so, I was quite surprised by it when I learned of it

I don’t like these owners, I couldn’t care less where they come from, but don’t be fooled by Garlick and John B either. They fattened the pig as best they could then filled their pockets. By the sound of it, Barry couldn’t stop it as his shares were tied into an arrangement with either Garlick or J...

Basically, “the group” will give them money if necessary. I think the group has more cash than we realise. Will it? It doesn't even say that, What is says is that they believe they have ways which they believe will enable them to deal with it, much like they did last time - which in short saw the c...

Chester Perry

This is the wording from the accounts. There's a risk, it's probably not that big a risk: These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have reasonable expectation that the group will continue in operation existence for the foreseeable future. The directors are awa...

Ah yes, looks like the document was prepared in advance and never updated which is a bit sloppy. I'd be very, very surprised if that isn't a standard disclosure on the shareholdings.

I'm not sure where the errors in the document are but I'm not that familiar with the biographies of the directors. You've misunderstood Section 4.

I got a mail about this last week. 122478 shares at 300 quid each is less than 37m, has the value of the club slumped that much? Are they trying to pick up shares on the cheap?

That article from the Liverpool Echo is frightening if you're an Everton fan.

Their losses have doubled. So if this current upcoming charge is to do with this can we then expect a bigger points deduction? Or is that too simplistic a view? there is nothing about how many of those losses do not count under PSR - there are stadium loan costs (interest) for instance that are not...

They are also winless in 12 games, Heard it all before. Leicester were going to be too good for Championship and would 'walk it' - they're now third.
