If our gearing is at a low rate, then they would be mad to pay it down during a period of high inflation - it's a bit like your mortgage, in that it will be inflated away as a percentage of income.
Give it a rest!
You are correct. It isn’t fair and hopefully it will be readjusted in the future. I don’t just think this is a Danny decision. It’s a whole financial team that is trying to maximize revenue for potential investors.why? There is zero need to increase the prices, remove the senior concessions and the carers admission. It should be called out at every given opportunity. That money has huge consequences and matters a lot less to the club. Find it odd that people are so keen to quieten criticism of something affects so many who pay every year following this club.

I agree it's worth calling out though I had responded to a post about Levy
Is there not an ENIC out thread for this ?
Ultimately though it is what it is!
Not if there is better use of that Capital elsewhere........as long as the rates are secure, then it would be daft to pay it down at the moment, at least until inflation settles (all about the NPV/NPC).isn't a mixture sensible? paying it down a bit so our financial position continues to be healthy?

I'm guessing it's pretty much a done deal so they are now preparing the fans for the news maybe?Is there any reason (legal or otherwise) why they have announced they are looking for investors? They normally keep such things quite close to their chest so it seems a bit unusual to make a point of it in the accounts?
Perhaps to drum up interest and encourage other investors?Is there any reason (legal or otherwise) why they have announced they are looking for investors? They normally keep such things quite close to their chest so it seems a bit unusual to make a point of it in the accounts?
If I had to take a punt I would think our summer transfer window will be dependent on solid business decisions with about 0.0001% chance of a splurgeSo what will all this mean for our summer transfer window?
A bit of a splurge to compete.
Or a more conservative approach.
Knowing a bit about this stuff, it's a classic Rothschild tactic - they get the Company to announce they've been appointed to consider a sale, with a view to drum up interest and make sure they're the point of contact for any incoming.Is there any reason (legal or otherwise) why they have announced they are looking for investors?

"The absolute priority for our Club is to deliver on-pitch success." . I think it's likely we are looking to spend a bit this summer to compete. Levy knows he can't mess it up with Ange after it happened to Poch. I'm sure he senses he has something special brewing and we need to push that bit extra to compete for titles.So what will all this mean for our summer transfer window?

It not a splurge we want. Just some good purchases, value for money. In the results published today we actually spent 300m on players in the financial year up to last June 2023. This included paying for Romero as he was prev on loan. In this current financial year we have Kanes 100m to offset Johnson and VDV so should be able to shell out a bit. Will help if we can do something with Lo Celso, Pierre, Rodon. These are eminently sellable players, just depends what we will take for them. Given up with Ndombele, can we find someone thick enough to take him on for his last year. Reggie and Spence we will have to take a hit.If I had to take a punt I would think our summer transfer window will be dependent on solid business decisions with about 0.0001% chance of a splurge
