Met a guy tonight, he was in the same Restaurant as me.
Was on his laptop most of the night till i talked him off it.
Said he worked for both the bookies and the guy's making the bets (punters but being foreign never knew that word) and so i got interested as i could not work out how you work for both. Surely, somewhere along the line a conflict of interests.
Anyway, he explained why to me NOT and he can work both sides. Still don't understand it all.
Anyway, as he mentioned he worked for hedge funds i brought up SISU. (He had never heard of them), he works normally UK and American market. I said SISU owned us and lost the plot. Had money for us, but when we never first got promoted they seemed to loose it. Anyway, long story short he said they were not a hedge fund and were venture capitalists by the sound of things. Explained the difference to me (still lost) but the main bit i could work out ment SISU could stay here for along time taking 1 or 2 million each season, but he would not say anything else without knowing the figures. He asked why we as fans have not tried to buy them out, (deny them money for 3 or more years) i told him they won't sell, we moved grounds and NOPM so they lost loads (he said if we had held out for 3ish years we would have won) (3 years seems his cycle).
His comment was that these people work in 3 years cycles, if we had held on for one more year we would have had them. But again without the figures was all a guess.
He had never heard of us, i told him about us in hope he knew someone. I explained everything as far as i know it, all i got back was 3 years minimum project and need papers to know/advise more.
His only advise before he left was could he see the books. (Here for 2 months and his laptop is his best friend, otherwise family get no holiday). Works with bookies and rich people BUT no football club owners. The debt never made him blink, (all part of a 3 year minimum plan in his words).
Don't know if i will see him again but OSB can you send me the accounts for the last 3 years so i can print them off incase i see him again. (Nick, you might have them from OSB?)
P.S. only 2 drinks had whilst with him, NOT drunk!!!!
