It’s a private company and has been for some years. Some people kept shares but they don’t count for anything.As mentioned often, I'm sure the other shareholders (a few at least on here) would know or be informed well before something actually happens

What about everything coming in fours? Documentary,Store,Naming Rights,Takeover?Im thinking the Amazon thing has something to do with it. Things come in 3s. Documentary, Store on Amazon, naming rights?
Plus with bale we will make that up easily in commercial stuff.We haven't actually spent that much yet. Hart was free, PEH was 3m net, Doherty was 15m. Bale was/is a 15m deal apparently.
So we're only really talking 33m.
If we splash some serious wedge on a striker, ACM and a CB then there may be something afoot.
But if we end up with 50m to 60m net spend it won't be all that unusual, given the large amounts we're still getting from tv revenues.
Redknapp did that at the start of every season. Anyone remember a midfield of Krankjar and Corluka against United?

Do you not think that it will see a huge increase in shirt sales, interest across the world, when the ground opens again commercial activity with sponsors can only be helped.How does that work then?

He is a legitimate world superstar, same as mourinho. The latter has weird social media accounts who support him rather than a club.
Bale is invaluable to the club from a status and commercial point of view. Alex Morgan too is a brilliant buy in that respect.

I'm not buying into it tbh. It does feel like something is going on, however we have been here before with stories of "the club will open the wallet of the right player is there" and "activating funds" etc
Having said that the messages at the beginning of the window were very much 'only loans and frees' and 'sell before buy' yet we are signing Reguilon before we've sold and he isn't cheap. We're also getting respected journos state that next we will get a CF and CB.
It's hard to call.
The stuff about shirts is bollocks. A club gets about £10 from a £50 shirt. Nike pay us big bucks to supply the shirts so they will take the biggest percentage. If someone buys a shirt every season they won’t buy an extra one because Bale has joined. You cannot call Bale a world superstar having hardly played for 2 seasons.Yeah but I genuinely would like to know how it works, not being a dick.
For all I know the profit we gain from shirt sales isn't that much, unless I'm missing something? I always wondered how the club makes money off the back of players...unless the club have control of their image rights. For example when Utd game Rooney his fat contract it meant that he hand to hand over his image rights to the club so they can use his face and his image on club merchandise and advertise in the Far East.
Right...... a Quality CF, a leading CB and a combative/creative MF and we can't criticise.
We're the thick end of £150m into net spend since the stadium was finished now. I am not surprised by that in itself - I've always believed that the extra money we now generate would be spent on the team - but I am surprised that we seem to have quite a lot of money available right now, given the circumstances.
