Takeover

[SW4Baggie]

If it’s true that we’ve blown through both MSD loans to the point where we are only solvent until the end of February, we must be about to announce some whacking losses… let’s hope the Patels have some cash left after building that Tampa Bay Palace!!!

Not a surprise - we’ve only generated £9m of player sales since last January when a figure at least twice that sum was required to see us through the season.  I don’t think the actual spending  was any different from what was anticipated, although we obviously didn’t offload the wages of the extra players that we didn’t sell. 

The plus-side of that is that we’ve kept the squad in place without decimating it.  There’s a price to doing that.

No as you say, it’s not a surprise that we’ve run through the money we have done given we’ve not only maintained the squad in Jan, but added some significant earners to it. I guess there must have been confidence and assurance from Patel that finance would soon become available.

Let’s wait with baited breath to see what and who exactly Patel has paid, and which debts are still owed in and out of the club.
