wendyredredrobin Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 It appears that Mr Lansdown has sold another £129m worth of Hargreaves Lansdown shares and now owns shares in the firm worth £1 Billion. Perhaps we might be a bit more bold in the transfer market than we anticipated this summer. Not sure how much of this will be needed to fund stage 2 though. This happened on the 23rd May, so not sure why I only noticed this today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppello Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I reckon he went to Bargain Booze to pick up some tinnies before the Take That gig and realised he's gone overdrawn. Meanwhile, if this was Wael over in Horfield, he would have to stick his Ford Mondeo on AutoTrader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a whole wider debate- see Championship finances, it's just a nonsense in that sense this League...it is his choice though and we are all very grateful for his tenure in the main- but this division. Well. Putting aside that aspect, the only way we as a club will IMO gain true self-sufficiency is PL. Or very minimize losses League One- this is the worst League of the top 4 by far in the country to roll over with sustainability or breaking even year in and year out let alone profit.

With that sort of money tied up in HL would seem sensible to start de-risking and diversifing into other things. Would only be doing that in stages so as not to destabilise HL's share price.
