Lets be 'aving you... What makes you better than Flav & Bernie?

[Mellowhoop]

Giving an average of 30 players on say 10k a week (of course some are on more), I'd say thats at least bankrolling the club a million plus a a month.

Thats just the players

I thought those was common knowledge they did that?

As majority shareholder, Bernie's had no choice but to 'lend' the club money, and therefore a moot point.

As minority shareholders, for that VERY reason it is not an accusation that can be thrown at the Mittals.

Would also add we had the same hyseteria in wanting Chris Wright in, look what happened. Some will tell you thats different, reality was we all wanted him

We have too many people wanted to own the club themselves.

Most important thing for me is the team perform well on the pitch and if we don't get relegated next season, it will be a great achievement. The players win football matches, not the board

Team does well in the Premiership, owners will be left alone.

Struggle and be in the bottom 3 next season, even if it was fully owned by Mittal we would have some calling for his head. He would be called clueless, show us the money, he can afford it blah blah.

Many lose sight we have a small ground (one of the smallest ever for the premiership) and no given right to be with the big boys.

As minority shareholders they could not possibly have made all the decisions last season.

They had the minority vote and with Bernie/Flavio being water tight, if they didn't want to do anything, it would never have gone through

doubt it to be honest.

I have been putting money for 35 years, some have been putting money in longer than me and others a shorter amount if time.

We don't look to make a profit from our investment, example I couldn't make the last game of the season so sold my ticket at face value.

Try adding up the amount we have put in since 1882.

Get real mate! Course we would!!

Agree, and therefore there was zero onus on the Mittals to help bankroll the club.

The point being the argument that Bernie has 'bankrolled/loaned' the club (and we therefore owe a huge debt of gratitude) is a moot one, because the same would be expected of any majority holder.

Well said that man!

[bbedford]

Bernie and Flavio have done more good for our club than anybody since Jim Gregory.

Amit has been proved to be weak - you don't quit just because you cant get your own way you stay and fight your corner.

Having quit he now has no voice and no influence.

LSA having a meeting in a pub whilst Bernie and Flavio are in Monaco - I know where I would rather be. It's a joke. Can anybody give me anything that LSA has achieved in recent years.

Bankrolling.....as in loaning.....as in not intrest free........as in will want a whopping profit from loans........as in given nothing to the club.......as in please dont make it sound as if they are giving money to the club, as one or two other deluded posters think.

See the bigger picture....Amit quitting is only Part 1...Its called strategy.

Maybe season tickets prices are paying them back.

So what exactly does 'bankrolling' mean?

Technically, it appears to be a sort of 'hypa savings account'. BE lends money to the club, earning interest on the debt (I heard 8.5%, but could be wrong). He gets all this debt back when and if he decides to sell his share.

Plus the share price has increased from 1p a share when he origonally came in with only 1m, to now holding 62% and 100m value. Very nice position indeed.

With the PL money coming in, most or all of the debt could be satisfied, and if it does, will BE lose interest in the club due to losing interest from his loan, so to speak?

I think it's fair to say BE is here for the money, not the passion for our club.
