Another loan agreed

I agree the problem is getting someone to pay those amount and pick up the wages. 

 

Rudkin’s inability to sell players has gaslighted our fanbase into thinking we just can’t ever sell players on big wages.

 

Turkey, Saudi, other English clubs have the funds it’s just we don’t proactively shop them about. Rudkin barely talks to our own managers and players so he isn’t getting on the phone to the media, clubs and agents.

 

Even if we had to pay a small percentage of their wages for a year - it’s better than paying all of them and having the player leave on a free, foregoing a small fee

The facility isn’t short term . It’s not a overdraft, it’s yet another line of costly credit that will need to be serviced on top of the monies already flowing out to service older lines of credit.

Never said it was..........

Woohoo a loan with loads of cash 

 

Buy, buy, buy, buy!!!! Shopping spree engaged.

I'm joking of course

[brookfox]

Disappointing.

 

Was hoping we’d sent Rudkin out on loan to get some experience at the Office for Budget Responsibility.

Following the Glazer model I see. Wasn't happy with these loans when we were performing well with decent revenue, but understood the rationale given Top's cash flow issues post family bereavement and management of Vishai's estate. 

 

To now be taking out loans when our revenue is non-existent and future revenue is far from guaranteed seems reckless. Hope these loans eventually prove to be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

You could be right, I have no way of knowing if that the case or not.

Subscribe to the The Transfer Flow newsletter - you see how clubs and agents shop players about with friendly media outlets. Our players always seemed to be linked away via rumours from the buying club.

 

We're also never the beneficiaries of the our relationship with agencies, we buy other club's dross but don't use them to out advantage because we're the idiots.

Another payday loan fantastic work from the clueless muppets, doing the same and expecting different results is the definition of madness. I think they are risking entire bankruptcy of the club running this way. 

 

The way to make cash flow better isnt a payday loan, its to trim your spending accordingly

I realise now that the only way out of this is to let Dumb and Dumber keep doing what they are doing. It’s Painful & frustrating watching our club going through such self harm but it’s repeated season after season after season so I think eventually the money will run out and hopefully he’ll look to sell up and we can all move on from this disastrous regime.

Don't they do this every season? Why get knickers in a twist just to have another pop at the club? Plenty of other things worse than this. 

[sylofox]

Was hoping this was a player loan.

But no just an expansion of the shit show.

Because its not really a sustainable way to operate, its the equivalent of you using a pay day loan month after month to fund a drug habit

The only difference is that spending your money on drugs is far more enjoyable than what we've squandered ours on

We'll  always need bailing  out for at least  another 2 seasons,till these crazy unaffordable  contracts  end .All self inflicted and avoidable  with competent people  in charge ,the fact the same people  are still here doesn't  really fill you with any hope .In the meantime we're getting further in debt.

From the thread title I thought that we had gotten rid of someone. 

 

How disappointing. 

I thought we had bought Odsonne Eduoard back in on loan.

You just cannot beat borrowing more money to help sustain payment from older unserviceable debts 

[Long Eaton Fox]

Has anyone got any idea about what the interest rates are that we pay?
