Nixon click bait- SAFC loan

Makes zero sense for KLD to buy Sartori's shares when he can get additional financial power into the club. He can't lose the controlling share, so owning 100% means nothing unless he himself wanted to sell for a larger profit.

 

Think he has a lot more than that, I thought he had 35/40 % ish

 

This

 

Iirc 36%
But don't quote me on that

 

36%

 

I’m not really for or against him buying out Sartori but it defo makes sense if he’s serious about us being promoted because that 36% will double in value easily. The money his family have got you’d think it would be in their best interests to buy Sartori out because it’s a win-win situation.

 

Anyone with anything for sale knows that advertising the fact, even discretely, is the best way to start the bidding and achieve the best price. Word would get out, it always does.

The 'KLD wants out' story is 100% wishful thinking imo

Why did Ipswich just give away all their profits?

 

No idea what this means mate? What profits would they have they’re operating at a loss?

 

No bother, not worth explaining tbh.

 

I am not clear on the Ipswich ownership situation, or the recent investment. I think 90% of the club are owned by some pension fund? The rest by three US businessmen. My guess is the investment is part of some capital investment into the overall facility of the football club. A goof pal of mine is an Ipswich man and he says the ground, training ground etc are some years behind. McKenna is supposed to have given a list of things that need sorting to make players more comfortable. So my guess this is some sort of investment against infrastructure. Just guessing out loud though.

One easy way to make money in football is to produce young players in your academy and sell them on. Ipswich have a big advantage here, over most clubs, and that is their location. As a kid you have to live within 60 mins of the club ground to sign for them. That leaves them and Norwich pulling in a lot of talent. Norwich as relatively poor in money terms, so Ipswich get this investment right, and their push for the premier league. They could quite easily be sitting on some really strong revenue streams. It is a calculated set of gambles I suspect on their behalf, but from the outside looking in they are doing it in a measured way with an eye on the long term.

 

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'd be beside myself if I thought my pension funds were invested in a Championship football club.
