Any chance this could be us? Doubt it but thought I'd put it out there.

I do hope not

I feel I should point out that last night's game has got nothing to do with this thread.

Today we go through the round window and after that, telling right from left, tying shoelaces and learning nursery rhymes. But right now, go line up in front of the milk monitor.

Darren Lewis thinks we are the mystery club and yes, pinch of salt because we know how it works, his odds on Sky went down from 25/1 to 8/1.

Apologies off-topic but he doesnt have a thread and not sure how reliable Darren Lewis is?

I really don't think this Maquarie loan is anything interesting at all. Seems like an entirely normal means of sorting cash flow to me.

There is a tendency amongst football fans to see debt as "bad". It really isn't necessarily.

Is this on sky or in the mirror?

Exactly this! Fed up of hearing people on here banging on about how Paratici built Juventus up and appointed Conte and Allegri etc… He really didn’t! That was Marotta. Paratici was just his assistant until 2018. The decline in Juventus can actually be traced back to when Paratici took over the job. It’s pretty much his signings at the club now and look how they have been doing for the past 2 seasons….

The jury is definitely out on him and so far he really hasn’t impressed since joining us.
Would Conte count as a Paratici signing ?

When I worked at barclays I used to provide invoice discounting for 14 prem clubs on EU TV money.

This worked by the bank providing 80% of the 4 year deal to the club in one hit. And the bank collecting the full amount over the time period.

This was never an indication of financial health. Everyone does it.

Although a loan would be different. Not quite the same from an accounting pov I think

Can't see us getting involved at £30m for a player of that age.
