Good luck lads Yup, likely still pushing the bollox that the stadium is in the Freeport zone so everything's tax free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I've looked at too much LinkedIn for one day & now have to go outside & touch grass to remember that most of the world isn't like that. With the combination of all those buzzwords of the day like Blockchain & AI/ML & Crypto, if that didn't set off alarm bells on the Caley board then they either aren't paying attention or don't particularly care anymore. Our board had the alarm bells disconnected a long, long time ago... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Manhattan Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 58 minutes ago, ICTChris said: It must be pretty simple for them to prove they've got funds to buy newly issued shares. ALthough, given our idiots crew of a board, it wouldn't surprise me if we accepted an IOU. We can lend you @Vietnam91 for a bit, if you like? He has extensive recent experience dissecting batshit-crazy bids with no financial foundations whatsoever. Mind you, in our case, at least we had an alternative. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not overly clued up on this kind of stuff What does this mean and what on earth could this guy actually be getting out of trying to do this deal for himself personally? Eta - I obviously know what assets are and what asset stripping is but how or why would he go about that Edited July 26 by 1320Lichtie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MacLean Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 If ever there was an argument for a move to fan ownership model then this is it. There are, of course, challenges with that, but it does massively reduce the chances of a beleaguered, weary, Board of Directors selling up at the first glimpse of an exit. Changes can be desirable. Change can be a necessity. But this doesn't even have a whiff of being a viable alternative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego and a craving for attention. Nobody knows who a small time businessman is. Everyone knows who the owner of the local football club is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 If they're acting as a conduit for other investors why not just say so, even if they want to remain anonymous? 3 minutes ago, CS_Dumbarton said: I presume him/his company now owns the land the stadium is built on?

TheScarf Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 It looks like either this guy had immense personal wealth , or his company is a conduit/broker for the actual investors. Seventy7 clearly aren’t the investors going by their books. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
