As I said mate, I read it and have no idea what it meant, there was lots of words about borrowing money and that's about it.

I haven't given the LD family finances a thought to be honest

Edit. And I don't even know what they make money from. All I know is his dad owned marseille and had connections with Adidas

Rich people never spend their own money - they don't have to because they can borrow using their own wealth as collateral. It's standard practice, but you then get some who go too far like the Glazers (put the debt from the purchase of Man Utd into the club's accounts) or Madrox (buy the club with it's own income)

I swear Hefty used to be a normal poster?!? He's entitled to the underlying opinion in his post even if I think most disagree with it. But the over-the-topness of his comments recently almost feels like he's been hacked :D

That's a class phrase, I would have just used a rude word!

Interesting story as I know 2 lads who's dad's are billionaires (co-owners of a top 100 construction company in the world)
Both lads work in the business and both started out as labourers, then progressed up the ranks (admittedly quickly).

One of the dads told me that it was important that his son learnt what work was like for 99% of the world and he would never have just given his boy a job and huge salary without him starting at the bottom.

Completely agree with this approach....but i would suggest those two pads are in the minority of billionaires kids

I used to work for a company whereby you couldnt progress until you spent 6 months in the field experiencing hands on how it all worked in reality....its the right way in my opinion & ensures you respect every role

To highlight a very very similar situation we fond ourselves in, obviously on a completely different level

Spurs started with no out & out striker today due to the ongoing (no complete) saga of their top striker having 1 year left on his deal, they wanted him to stay, im sure tried all they could to get him to stay within means they thought were realistic.... gone all summer, play 1 up top, cant really bring his replacement in as what happens if the convince Kane to stay, who would come to be second choice.....i dont believe for one second Spurs have sat around & gone oh **** Kanes gone wtf are we going to do & a quality replacement will be sorted before end of window....with talks for his replacement gone on for months

Apart from our lad being injured... complicating is worse....its the same....Spurs are one of the top sides in PL & issue has gone on all summer...KLDs team are building this club back up...a hell of a lot harder

Also notice Liverpool playing without a real striker....im sure many clubs are in same boat....were further down food chain currently....until window closes before season starts...which it wont...its always going to be like this....maybe next season we already have had kids here for a year to hit ground running during that period....until then we are where we are & waiting for things to play out....clubs still in huge transition & being sorted out....as the saying goes Rome wasnt built in a day....all we can do is KTF

The Pom Pom squad needs to stand down. I've grown weary of references to Graham and Grigg, the Model, the data, valuation, and KLD's resources and connections.

After dropping out of college and washing out of a football academy, a 21-year-old kid asks his mommy if he can buy Sunderland AFC. Margarita thinks that's a great idea because her son needs a hobby since he has acquired no employable job skills. But do it quickly, she warns, because I am about to mortgage the company to borrow $1 billion from Credit Suisse to buy out minority family shareholders.

Credit Suisse collapsed in March of this year.

I suspect Elaine from Seinfeld is the only member of the Lewis Dreyfus family with significant liquidity.

It is no coincidence we have an underqualified director of football whose only prior experience in football was involvement at varying levels of some other clubs' youth academy.

Mobray had the squad playing like a band of brothers last season, overachieving despite the model.

The over-adulation from the deluded segment of the fan base has stoked Kristjaan Mediocre's ego to the point that he has unsettled and unbalanced the club.
