The filing has now been published and is the right to allot £10,000 nominal within the next 15 months. Shares are 10p so this is 100,000 shares or 1.2% of the increased share capital.

wendyredredrobin Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) They can only dream of signing the likes of Kalas, DaSilva, Bentley and Szmodics.

They can only dream of beating Man U in the QF of the League Cup and giving Man C a good game in the semi final.

If someone (and I assume they are expecting 'someone' specific) snaps them all up at 10p each - giving them 1.2% ownership, then they will release more?

I'm assuming , as I said before this is a 'come and put yer money where your mouth is' offer @10p a share for 1.2% of the club only. That the entire offer.

The big unknown is the pricing. They are 10p nominal but could be sold for, say, £1.10 which would mean the club gets £110k which is split £10k Share Capital and £100k Share Premium Account. I think they're trying to bring someone on Board as Tony Fernandez did at QPR where he brought in the Mittal family with an initial small share and since then they have gone on to own it (I think, few years ago now).

Could be. Though 1.2% won't get him a seat on the Board. Would probably be enough during any sales negotiations to award him an honorary role in the club, life president or similar. Basically, promote him out of trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Net Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 So is this the same as Millwall are doing? I know that their owner usually converts his loans into shares, but £21m is more than the total of their debt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I initially thought it was but the number of shares is so small it seems pointless. Potentially it could be swapped for existing debt or preference shares rather than sold for cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waq and his family are trying to dilute their ownership, so there is less pressure on them to put in their own money, after all they couldn’t put on investment as they only own 92% of the club, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does diluting their ownership then reduce liability on debts, is it a slow tippy tappy exit strategy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their plan is for the football club to fold and then have a prime bit of land ready for development 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they think they are something special I’ll never know. Also have absolutely no idea why goal music would make them a franchise, they are more of a franchise than we’ll ever be, not that they understand the meaning of a franchise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are light years ahead of everyone in that department. Very unique indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all talk about moving back to Twerton if this mysterious stadium started to appear but am I right in saying it’s not up to FL standards? Oh how I’d love it for them to come begging to SL asking to use AG, and he gives them a very public 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
