Banks have a profile and investors will often buy shares that reflect their risk appetite, interests and beliefs (for example, a lot of funds are ethical and wouldn't invest in companies that produce weapons, even if the returns are strong). Given that the football club loses money every year and are able to continue trading because of owner investment, the bank they hold shares in might not want that type of loan on their books.

TwoSheds Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Weren't we told many years ago they were the 4th or 5th riches club in the football league. Why then do they need to borrow money to build a stadium. Can't Wallys bank sort out an interest free loan. Or am I missing something here.

Midlands Robin Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Is there a less transparent football club in business right now? How many times have we seen an announcement from their boardroom that contains the words "Can't talk about it", "Confidential" "Work going on behind the scenes", "Not in a position to announce" etc, etc, etc? If you turn to google there are clubs up and down the country talking about stadium improvements and their web pages or at the very least the local press, can explain time lines, costings and the facilities that they are looking to create. There are 86 Days, 4 Hours and 30 Minutes (give a take a minute or two) until the first EFL Game of the season kicks off at 15:00 on Saturday 5th August 2023. In that time the sags have to: Submit planning permission for their new stand. Obtain Planning permission for their new stand. Take down the temporary structure that is their two current stands Relocate their big screen. Clear the ground for the new structure. Build the new structure Build any associated facilities and services (catering, lighting etc) Hold a test event to obtain a safety certificate. When they talk about tight timelines they're not wrong. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredd Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 I saw Liverpool have requested to start the season away from home to finish off their (very impressive non sheet metal, no pillared) new Anfield road end stand.

There has to be a planning application to object ! At the very least the club should be in dialogue with their neighbours (maybe they are). They don't need planning permission to start demolition and build, but they'll have to get retrospective permission at some stage. I'm guessing that permission is in the bag anyway... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 You'd think so. I can't see why anyone would be dumb enough to take out a huge loan to build a stand without all of the paperwork in place first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
