Takeover

[CaptainFantastico]

Someone on twitter said we were two weeks away from running out of cash.

China mentioned that on here.   I find that personally hard to believe, as if that were the case, we’d have been selling players in the Jan window which closed only 2 weeks ago. 

The club had previously said on the run-up to the window that we’d only sell players for a figure over and above the club’s valuation of players.  This to me was a sign we had sufficient cash to see us through to the Summer window, having taken out a further loan from MSD. 

When the accounts (to 30th June 2023) are made available at companies house in just over one month’s time, we will be able to see how much cash we had left in the bank from the £20m MSD loan taken out in December 2022, and therefore the rate at which it was being spent.  We should also see the amount of the further loan taken out late 2023 mentioned as a post balance sheet event.   Then we will be able to get a better understanding of how much cash we currently have.

Well at least Lai will walk away with £20m (less the payment to Hearn, if he makes it).  That’s a 90% loss on the reported £200m paid for the club, although I seem to recall reading a figure of £175m

That’s a hefty loss rate.  At least Lai should look on the bright side in that he did slightly better than that bookie tiT who came on here (punters advice) with all his tips of games to bet on and lost all of his £100 stake.

 That was an all time classic thread. 

In the end he threw his staking system out the window and had the lot on Liverpool to win the league at about 1/3, the week before the Gerrard slip game.

  Yep.  He broke his own betting rules by breaking his pre-set limits.  He also cheated by not deducting one of his stakes from his pool. 


I initially thought he was someone off the bored.  But he was posting identical posts on other football forums. 

Having lost the lot, he then disappeared never to be seen again.

Superb that was. Pissed a bank of 1000 points up the wall IIRC, whilst trying to build a customer base. Immense
