He's recently stepped down as chairman so guessing he had some. The filing at Companies House relates to new shares. Any movement of shares from Keith Dawes to the Lansdown family/Pula will be recorded in the next confirmation statement (due January 2020).

Exactly that..... most owners inject about 6million into the club every year just to meet wages etc this with sales might just give us some breathing space for 1 or 2 quality signings. He's a clever man so let's let him do his thing we are in very safe hands now and in the future his dream is ours and we will get there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. How many clubs in England dont run at a loss Mr P ? I assume not many. SL's desire to see the club as self sufficient may not be wholly realistic unfortunately with ever increasing wages and transfer fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL's desire to see the club as self sufficient may not be wholly realistic unfortunately with ever increasing wages and transfer fees. Yeah, agreed- it seems to be getting less and less the case each season. Obviously big profits on transfers can bring it about but that's usually a once off exceptional income, operationally not many at all I reckon. Think the Championship has the worst of all worlds though in this respect, it has lots and lots of aspiring clubs- but a TV deal of £7m in a League where Neves cost £15m- cheap due to Mendes of course- but that alone shows the direction of travel IMO. Best chance in PL, or as a big fish yoyo/club in League One with occasional Championship stints say 1 in 2, 1 in 3, 2 in 5 years- and setting the cost base accordingly. At this level, in any meaningful or sustained sense? No chance. Leeds who had an income of £40-45m season just gone so I've read varied estimates online, lost £15m (before allowable deductions granted) but we won't know until accounts out next year. If even a club with such a revenue base post 8 figure losses...has a sense of chasing our own tail if self sustainability at this level a genuine aim! I think the best case scenario for when we're at this level is simply sustainability within FFP- as opposed to any sort of genuine breakeven over a period of time. PL it can be done but a surprising number even posted losses 2017/18! Oh yeah, the other problem with this League- Parachute Payments. Stabilisation is one thing, or even using it to pay players you cannot shift but who cannot be registered- that is one compromise solution- pay their wages but have them loaned to another club or in the reserves unable to be in 1st team squad. Certainly should be ring fenced from being used to buy costly new players, loan costly new players etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or actually his decision driving the market. In any case, HL has been such a strong performaner in the past 5 years perhaps SL is cashing out and reinvesting elsewhere? I can't see the HL bull run contuing indefinitely. They have benefited so much from Tory liberalisation and QE. Not to mention low rates and this remarkable equities bull run since March 2009.

Well yes because you can't be an investigatory body and not have anyone to investigate at the same time they wouldn't want to find something and have to do a shakedown on UK based companies.
