Match Day Thread 2015/16 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

maybe,

spurs will finish top 4 and strengthen, utd have the funds to throw at it if they dont finish top 4, chelsea wont be as ****e as they was this season, same as us, so they will do well to improve and either of arsenal and city will stregthen as well, esp if a certian manager coming can atarct some proper talent for them.

be tough to improve on where they are at to be honest, and i havent factored leicester, who if they win the prem can go places as well.also west ham getting the stadium and doing well currently.

 

Yep, we could have about 9 or 10 clubs with a realistic chance of top 4 next season

WBA two up

 

to think we lost at home to palace

 

unlucky @Tobes

I don't think Moshiri's mate is going to be throwing his millions into part of a 49.9% share

Best case scenario you get a 0% loan for stadium development

Kenwright still holding you back

 

Yeah but Palace were strong in the first half of the season, different story now

 

how so? same manager, same players

 

You're clueless in these matters pal.

There'll be a reason for the 49.9% stake - most likely a clause in the securitised loan that prohibits the sale of the club until it's either underwritten by the new man or settled. A full equity buyout is almost certain to happen over time.

However - even in the interim - thereality is - even with 49.9% he's in full control, as the board (whoever remains) can't out vote him, as collectively they only owned 67% to start with.

Sorry to be the bearer of this news, your bitterness was exposed here btw.

 

Yeah right there's definitely a #legit reason why it's only 49.9%

I'm sure he'll be happy to throw hundreds of millions of pounds at the club knowing 50.1% of all of it goes straight into someone else's pocket

 

Well, he isn't is he. Irrelevant of who owns what, they're is still 50.1% of shares he doesn't have and therefore he doesn't have full control.

 

Good job rich people famously don't care about power and are happy to give 50.1% of their money away which is why they gladly pay their taxes too isn't it?

 

He is.

As the board only owned 67% they've sold (initially) 49.9%. The remaining 33% is owned by Grantchester - 8% - with the remainder being owned by small shareholders - a handful each. Collectively they have no power of veto, as they're not in a position to have an influence on the decision making of the club.

So any board decisions will be made by the new effective owner.

As previously explained I fully expect a full equity buyout over time. Kenwright only owned 24% and effectively did the same for 15 years.

 

I think Puncheon (sp?) was out for a while, not sure where Bolassie is.

 

What a bizarre world you live in

You do realise that many "rich people" buy 10, 15 or 20% of company's don't you, there is a very rich dude at Arsenal who owns less than 49.9%, I wonder why he was happy to give 50.1% of his money away ?

 

Clown.

Way to ignore the simple point made

Stay bitter

 

Yeah and Arsenal are famous for owner investment and reasonable prices for fans

 

You're completely missing the point Tobes. If the new guy has a 49.9% stake, how can he possibly have full control?

If he had 50.1% then yes, he'd have full control. But 49.9% doesn't no matter who owns what.

He may well buy more to take full control but 49.9% means he could (theoretically) be out voted

 

Wrong forum

 

Yep they have to do it very gradually to avoid Moshiri's accounts being investigated too closely

Sneak him in quietly past the PL approval process

In the meantime how much do you expect he will put into the club while 50.1% of all his investments are charitable donations to the other shareholders?

 

You really haven't got a clue mate.

The 50.1% don't get to have a collective vote on any decision making - as they don't have a collective voice on the board.

Therefore the new owner can do as he likes.

No-one in the history of the club has ever held this level of equity.
