Too late. Who is going to fund the billions required to buy back the 51% from private ownership for the fans to take on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gate receipts, EFL money and potential debt presumably (though i don’t know that the debt matters too much seeing as it will be unsecured, unlike Bury/Bolton). There you go, easy.

It is not going to show anything different to the above is it? How could it? But you are deflecting again... AL being poor at info doesn’t mean FLG should be the same. We need more info, including crucial financial plans, from FLG...then perhaps everyone could get behind them more. Right now it’s difficult to get too excited about them.

Hands on Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I accept that the football club is not for sale but I'm sure it would be sold if someone offered Marco enough money so that he could truthfully say that the venture had made a profit. So we have to find someone who supports our club and has money to burn. The FLG has to go forward and buy the stadium because that keeps it as a football ground and out of the hands of Marco & Mo.

underdog Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 The landlords want out and in under 2 years if possible. Ideally want to sell to someone/organisation/consortium who want to keep it for football purposes. However there are no guarantees until, signed, sealed and delivered. There is a window of opportunity and the Trust will be discussing with the FSA about fan funding/community owned initiatives at our meeting in September. To exhaust the possibilities and all.

I may have totally misread the FLG but I was under impression that a purchase price had been agreed, FLG had the funds and the purchase was just a matter of time. Am I wrong or has this changed?

Apologies maybe I was not as clear as I should have been Yes FLG have agreed the price, but there is nothing wrong in seeking advice/exhausting all funding stream possibilities the Trust could tap into. Whether with the FLG to acquire the assets (Our home) or any other projections too. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was questioning who the anonymous funders are and why they have to to keep their masks on? Transparency from those who just want to build houses all around the ground. At least the amigos were up front about doing that when they tried it and were not trying to stay anonymous? Who’s behind it (not fronting it) this time?
