I know he is a big man, but 5 seats???

I agree with your loyalty scheme - it's a great idea that works in airline business. In addition to a discount, a loyalty program could include a yearly sitin with the brass in the executives box (only has a value if the 'new local management' actaully attend the matches), a discounted price...

How much do you think prices should be dropped?

But does it really matter? I think what upsets most people is the word 'hedge fund' and think 'Gordon Gekko' and 'it's the essence of pure evil'. When in fact most capital in hedge funds comes from ordinary peoples pension funds. The pension funds knows that 'hedge fund' in the public mind is...

In your post just before the one I quote you refer to the FFP regulation. With that in mind owning the income stream from the stadium is a massive advantage - even if there is no profit (cost equals income) - as the stadium revenue will count towards allowed spending on wages.

The first quote is taken directly from Tim Fisher and is correct. The second is a journalists poor attempt of stiputating points at the end of the article ... showing he did not understand the very essence of what Tim Fisher explained. As it has been stated on this forum many times: Sisu are...

Maybe the fans insisted that their owners kept 'investing' in the team and a better future. Maybe the owners ran out of money and couldn't find buyers who would pick up the bill for the huge running costs. Maybe they are just like us, only our owners decided to sell players to pay the...

Tommy, One thing is what anyone (in this case sisu) hope and work for, but it's not always you get what you want. Sisu have been actively looking for co-investors the last year (maybe longer), but haven't succeded. As long as they don't get co-investment - or better yet, a complete buyout -...

They said last summer that they had secured funding for this season. At that time there were lots of rumors that the club was on the brink of entering administration, and we should see their statement in that light. I don't see evidence that sisu are pumping more money into the club. It looks...

Actually they said they had SECURED funding for the season. I think you have mis-quoted them on this a few times. If a full takeover results in all or parts of the loans remaining at the club, then I think it won't be at the same rate as now. Sisu will surely start charging interrests and...

Thinking that 'it's only tax money' ... paying the HMRC is not important ... is not only morally wrong it's also unfair to the other clubs who pay their dues. This is why Financial Fair Play is so important.

So they owe £1.6m in tax - yet they reject an offer for Joel Ward and Jason Pierce for that exact amount. http://www.clubcall.com/portsmouth/rivals-double-bid-snubbed-1371884.html

Let's hope both parties have learned their lessons now and will conduct their talks in a constructive tone and keep anything said away from the media. If anything comes out of this, then I think it will be some sort of corporation where Hoffmans group will become co-investor. As I have said...

Hope you can sleep now ...

Well I can't find any evidence to support that Sisu is involved with Malmö. Wiki report Malmö FF to be the richest club in Sweden: The club are an open member association, and the annual general meeting is the highest policy-making body where each member has one vote, therefore no shares are...

So this is simply more 'heresay' and not real evidence. The problem with borrowing against future income is obvious - future income is very fluffy and hard to determine with any sort of precision. No offense Otis, but it makes no financial or logical sense to me.

Do you have a source? Is it a written confirmation ... then please copy/paste the content.

Venture Capitalists are the good guys!

Do you know what Venture capitalists are? Wiki is your friend: Venture capital (VC) is financial capital provided to early-stage, high-potential, high risk, growth startup companies. The venture capital fund makes money by owning equity in the companies it invests in, which usually have a...
