bristol red Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Can anybody clarify what investment SL is looking for? Is it in Bristol Sport or BCFC? Is he looking to sell the whole BS project or just the football? All a bit confusing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) I was at the Q&A he did before the first Bears league game (I go to the occasional game. Don't @ me). I asked him a similar worded question & he confirmed it was all of Bristol Sport/Ashton Gate Stadium.

bristol red Posted October 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I guess that will include the sporting quarter if it goes ahead? Bit of a strange one… not gonna get a whole out sale on that.. too much uncertainty and will never run as a profitable or breakeven business. Uncertain times ahead. Realistically need to get BCFC into the premiership to stand a chance of a sale and based on recent decisions got no chance whatsoever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCT10 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 1 minute ago, Ian M said: All of BS for £200m. Whilst also currently available - Premier League (for now) Sheffield United 220m or Championship (for now) Sheffield Wednesday 170m (and likely several others of a similar stature) - without the money sponges of rugby, basketball and everything else. I don't know the ins and outs of those clubs (I suspect both need infrastructure investment) but whilst the BS stuff was meant to set us apart it now looks very much like it has inflated the asking price and made selling/outside investment much more difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristol red Posted October 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 £200m running at say £30m year loss… seems a good investment NOT. Unless they invest a whole lot more and get the football club competitive in the top half premiership 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Sheffield Wednesday £170m is absurdly overpriced. Sheffield United possibly are. We definitely are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I’m afraid that SL seems to want to recover a large percentage of the money he’s invested. Unfortunately things aren’t like that. No matter how much I spend on my house, if I decide to sell, the amount I get will be the market value of the house and no more. The market valuation of loss making Bristol Sport can’t be want SL is asking. (Assuming the figures quoted are accurate and, less be honest, nobody really knows for sure) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Sell…. But also actively discussing investment to strengthen in return for a % share as an alternative, some more advanced than others but discussions have been taking insanely long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Rich Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 5 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: FFP plays a part too, it does limit expenditure in certain areas but less so in others. Genuine question - if restructured so BCFC owned all the physical assets (Ashton Gate, training ground, etc), could they 'charge' a high rent to all the other clubs for use them? Could it be a loophole if you wanted to put money into the football club? Not saying I would want us to take that risk etc, but could we do that and count that as revenue?

There's nothing to update other than some director changes - obviously Phil Alexander is no longer on the board of BCFC Limited, and BCFC Women Limited has had a few changes as well. But the corporate structure is still as it is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
