Criggers Posted 30 July 2023 Share Posted 30 July 2023 17 minutes ago, Jimbo said: I guess it's just equivalent to us buying a new pair of trainers and paying for them through Klarna The reason for using finance companies is to keep the asset register value lower and puts the cost straight in to the profit and loss account. This is done to improve cash flow, keeps you looking cash rich and therefore more appealing to buyers, because obviously King Power are about to sell up. Or, we’re just skint. Or I have no idea but I was fun to make up. I’m going back to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 30 July 2023 Share Posted 30 July 2023 If the club have been difficult and bargained hard then it will be worthwhile missing a pre-season trip in the long run. We have paid over the odds many times in the past and have been stung. The Italian/Turkey model can work, as we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be pretty standard, i seem to remember the fofana money coming to us in instalments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this, we are probably waiting till the lads are back in England to announce it so it doesn’t distract from their PR tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopharage Posted 30 July 2023 Share Posted 30 July 2023 Calling it now. Announcement video will be Mavididi standing in the arrivals lounge, with a sign saying ‘Welcome Home Foxes’ .
