Simply buy a season ticket for the ladies side and relegate the Fewers to the 4th most supported side in the region. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 If Taylor ( £10Million ) cost £350,000 , how does that relate to £4m ? "Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton has declared that the £4million plus fee Burnley paid MK Dons for Scott Twine last summer is the “starting point” for any clubs willing to discuss the prospect of signing top scorer Aaron Collins." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'll start the negotiations by saying we want £100,000,000 for Collins" "No" "Ok, we will accept £250,000" "Yes" There you go, the starting point was £100m. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have got planning for a stand that faces away from the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, their fans really do think they’re in a position to turn down something like £2m for him. Not that I think a champ club will take a punt of him tbh. But they’re in dreamland if they think they’ll get more than 2-2.5m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 They used that famous Bristol landmark as a backdrop to sell their season tickets a few seasons ago. That's the same landmark with Ashton Gate in the background. Genius or should I say Gaslogic or better still, tinpot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS30 City Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Appears to be a new charge against the mem from Nationwide Finance, Wael obviously doesn’t fancy funding the proposed new stand. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04501223/filing-history 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s interesting here is that the lender is Nationwide Finance, not affiliated with Nationwide Building Society. Not familiar with their work but they appear to be very small scale - latest accounts suggest c£30m of debtors which isn’t much at all, and also look at secured loan terms of up to six years. We’re talking fairly short term finance here on a secured basis which is unusual - could be argued that there is intent there if the fruit market is on the horizon, but equally there’ll be a premium for such a transaction and the fact Wallys gone down this route wouldn’t imbue me with confidence!

I thought the same. I’d imagine the expectation is that the increased footfall will cover the repayments at a minimum- which is a dangerous game to play.

The scale of the lender suggests this isn’t going to be a huge loan so to give them FLC (particularly on a short term commitment and when Wallys active in a ****ing bank) seems odd to say the least. He should be able to fund the temporary stand himself from watch sales, and with them now having to have a rebuild season I’d wager attendances will actually go down YOY (no post promotion bump). The lender really would trouble me. They’re definitely not lender of first resort here. It’s also noticeable the independent witness to Wallys signature is a member of the lender, and gives his address as their office. That’d definitely make things challengeable if things went tits and suggests this isn’t a firm with great compliance functions! There are two options here: - All the money is tied up in the fruit market (although that would seem odd as the stage it’s at isn’t one which needs mass finance, particularly as it’s Conygar doing things) - They’re in the shit and needed money quick. I know where I’m erring… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 I am not a finance person but I wonder what the developers of the FM site make of this? If Rovers are serious potential business partners, can they bring financial credibility to the table, to be on even terms in negotiations? As an analogy, it could be a bit like me going into a Ferrari showroom, kicking the tyres whilst my old Astra is parked outside. Surely at some point the owner will need to put some of his own money into these schemes? It seems everything in their world is based around the land value of the Mem and that could vary wildly depending how the economy feels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
