    Summer Transfer Window '22. Incomings will audition The Voice style, deadwood will battle it out The Survivor style. Absolute TV gold, we'll be floated on the stock exchange before the year's out.

    If he’s going to spend this ridiculous amount then why didn’t he splash the cash on some good proven players in the January window??

    Either he is ITK or knows someone who is. Unless Acun has met him to give him an exclusive rundown of his proposed plans of course.

    I guess because the January market has inflated fees, and we weren't in any real danger of going down, no need to be silly. I'll still treat all the promises with a healthy dose of skepticism until we see signings through the door in the summer.

    Even Allahyar ended up being a loan which was a far cry from the initially reported 7m we were spending on him.

    If its true his worth is £100m then he'd be Crackers using it to buy a football club without substantial backing.

    True. Pearson's backer never appeared on any documents. So why should his, if there are any, appear on them when it is his company that has bought the club? Surprised some people are surprised.

    Because the takeover went through later than expected. Had it gone through before Xmas as planned, it would have been a different window.

    Aye, you don't give up a third of your wealth to buy a club and then another large portion to buy players, he would be worth nothing in a few years given the black hole that some football clubs can be.

    The EFL rules have changed since then, all investors need to be submitted to the EFL for scrutiny - part of the fit & proper test.
    You cannot have secret backers / silent investors any more

    Only as far as City go. Who the backers may or may not be in his other companies, I would suggest they have no right to know?

    For the other companies, though the 100% owned suggests there are no other shareholders, that does not mean he has not borrowed from friends etc as opposed to the banking system.

    The plan is we can assemble a squad that will go up next season. There's going to be some decent sized changes in the Summer.
