Mr Popodopolous Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Can't be for investment direct in the team, be it fees or wages, owing to FFP. Maybe it's for club infrastructure...or something else entirely, with nothing to do with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably just widening his investments - most of his net worth is in HL, so a big concentration risk, that is a concern. It's inevitable with entrepreneurs but as he has retired he probably just has a strategy to reduce his percentage holding. Obviously that cant be done all at once as it would suggest a problem to the market, so he may have an agreement to control any reduction in his holding over time. Or perhaps we're buying Neymar.

wendyredredrobin Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Build a training ground, in a couple of years add floodlights, then a car park. In a few years more, add a stand, then another one. In ten years ir is a fully fledged football ground. Isn't that what's happening at Stoke Gifford, where the girlies are currenyly playing? Or am I just an old cynic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst this is enough to buy Neymar, I doubt whether this money is destined for BCFC or Bristol Sport, more likely an investment into another financial firm/fund manager. Any chance of some of it coming the way of BCFC do you think?

I don;t think we own the site. We also need to push for cat 1 at some point. Most of the stuff can get moved into new purpose built buildings.

Not his job. We apparently have people dedicated to overseeing education and health services who have access to massive pots of money. It's how they spend it that holds some of these services back. If in doubt. Add another layer of middle management seems to be the school of thought. Forget frontline services, what we need is more six figure salaries in roles with no clear KPIs.
