For a family that didn't have any cash and were watching their other businesses implode, they've done pretty.

We are a company listed on a stock exchange ffs. They can't just take all the money they want out of the club. Their end game is to sell the club for upwards of £2b. That's how they make money from this whole sordid affair - not buy taking out £10m every couple of years in management and consultancy fees.
Season tickets near enough doubled in price in the first 5 years of their ownership then there's the ACS. Still compulsory if you want a chance of away tickets.

The end game is selling the cash cow rather than milking it. They've burdened us with massive debt, taken huge financial risks and priced people out. They borrowed the money to buy the club, including most of the initial share purchases before the compulsory buy-out.

Oh and the £10m every couple of years? Get £#%&!ing real. New to share issues pol?

I just don't see any chance of them selling though, they'd want £3-4 billion by now probably, who wants to part with that kind of dough for anything? Apple could buy us with some loose change I suppose
The stock exchange.

Pretty sure they could re-float the club and get that kind of return. People are buying shares now that don't give them any sort of voting rights or dividend for £#%&!s sake

Yes, the CLUB makes money, but how do you think the gimps get the money out of the club? Our accounts a published regularly - show me examples of money leaving the club and going to the gimps account.

Anything that says management fees or consultancy fees.

You need to look at the overall picture.

Gimps buy club with money they've borrowed.
Gimps inflate worth of club.
Gimps float club and pocket cash.

Forget the management fees, etc., they've sold a heft wedge of shares without relinquishing control.

Very clever what they've done, I'll grant you.

Exactly. That's why I said they manage to squeeze around £10m every couple of seasons. Whilst that may seem a lot of money to you or I that's not the kind of profit that gets people excited when they own an asset worth over £2b. Shit. I could put £2b in a ISA and get better returns than that.

That's not called milking an asset mate.

They are waiting to sell. Simple. They can't get any REAL money out of the club now.

Arguably it is when you consider the fans are an asset of the club.
