Making a one off bid doesnt mean much. Going back in again suggests being given encouragement to do so

I can't see a premier league team taking a punt on Hughes yetCould be agents also using others to get Premiership bids in… same for Hughes
For the right price he is. Every player is.I get that but on the same token Southampton have just bid for Jack Rudoni and I don’t believe he is for sale

I reckon we’ve had some/are having some investment right? From someone/people other than Doug.Matt Grimes wasn’t exactly making ‘come and get me’ shouts at Swansea in the days before he signed. I have no idea where this money is coming from if we’re actually putting these bids in, given we’re not raising huge amounts for MVE.
Christian Horner has a bit of time and money on his hands these days...I reckon we’ve had some/are having some investment right? From someone/people other than Doug.
If we are then fair enough, but that's not been confirmed anywhere.I reckon we’ve had some/are having some investment right? From someone/people other than Doug.
JH is on the scene:
Been a bit quiet recently after posting some exclusives 2-3 days straight, Janice must of had a relapse back on the crack so it's understandable he went quiet! Good to see me old mucca back with a bangJH is on the scene:
To be fair to him if hull are one of the favourites for relegation then I wouldn't like to be there and if they sell now at least they get 10 mil not 4/5 in a years time.JH is on the scene:
Also find it hilarious that people tweet these. It's not like the manager is going to go 'oh yeah we are interested and we have put a bid in'. It's just attracting attention and that tweet adds no context what so ever.His old manager is on the case!

TIL Hull City have a bar chart for an owner. Must be good with numbers.

sounds like the head is turned… very similar to our pursuit of Grimes
We definitely tried a cheap silly bid with 4m - if we’ve jumped to 7 million straight away we can’t be far away.We may be trying our luck that they need the money and sell him cheap
If they resist again we will probably give up
Glad the club giving it a try though
Hughes agent would have given us the nod to make a bid if his client was interested. You don’t just make a bid for the sake of it these days.
Agreed but often because the player becomes aware of an even better offer from another club …. It happened to us last summer with the guy who chose Forest over us when we thought it was a done deal that he was joining us.Middlesbrough agreed a fee with Ipswich for Hayden and he said no. So it does happen.
Who knows but outsiders are not allowed to own players anymore e.g. Robbie Keane, any investment must be through the club proper, then it's all transparent.I reckon we’ve had some/are having some investment right? From someone/people other than Doug.
Looks like an external investor has invested £15m and now owns 10% of the club.
The calculation is 11,000,000 original shares + 1,222,222 newly issued shares =12,222,222 total shares. 1,222,222 shares therefore equates to 10%.
The £15m looks like it has gone into the company (rather than out to a seller) as these are new shares. This therefore implies Doug valued the club at £135m before the money came in and £150m post money (hence £15m for 10% stake).
It will be very interesting to know who now owns that 10%. Unlikely to be Doug or related party as he could just continue to fund the business by way of the 0% unsecured loans he
maybe @Pitch87 was spot on all along ….
It’s possible but equally it could be that Doug has just capitalised some of his loans to strengthen the balance sheet.
Little to no merit in “strengthening the balance sheet” given the circumstances. The funds were lent interest-free so there is no interest deduction on the P&L to account for (thereby meaning no impact on PSR) and we’re nowhere near flying close enough to the sun for any debt management plan being handed down to us. Add to the fact that by capitalising the loan, Doug would essentially be foregoing his right to claw back when it’s seemingly bringing no tangible benefit to either him or the club by doing so. I am 100% confident it’s external investment.
