Quick scan of the articles shows fairly common private equity terms, which will certainly be supplemented by a private shareholders agreement. Interesting to see that Probert, Rolls, and of course Ashton all got issued Growth Shares, which they can sell to club in certain circumstances - most likely a full sale - for a whack of cash.

ExiledAjax Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Yeh Ipswich have one of, if not the, toughest final 6 games in the division, starting today. Huddersfield on the last day is their only cushy game left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 (edited) 51 from 21... 36 from 20. I went too early on Easter Monday when they turned it around vs Southampton but are they being found out a bit. They haven't still hadΒ thatΒ many injuries to the spine, which rather goes against the law of averages in a League like this.

GrahamC Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Knew Norwich would be right up for it, like a City Rovers game & they will absolutely love it if thatβs what stops them getting automatic promotion. Think top six is sorted now, Norwich are on a great run, West Brom very consistent & everyone above too far ahead 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 4 Parachute club and one long term but no longer Parachure club in the top 6 atm. Ipswich are either spending somewhat more than we can imagine or have put a once in a generation season on middling or top 10 resources...by which I mean competing with a) 3 First year Parachute clubs and b) 3 of the larger clubs to drop at once to this level in modern times.

I just reckon the idea that playing teams down the bottom towards the end of the season is notably hard is a bit of a myth.Β Same as the "new manager bounce", or the idea that you'd rather play relegated PL teams in August over promoted L1 teams, or that signing a striker in January is a good idea. I've not looked at it in detail but the very fact that "great escapes" are so rare suggests to me that shit teams are shit, and they stay shit right to the end of the season. So yeh my hypothesis is that Huddersfield are shit, were shit in December, and will be shit on the last day as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
