Noxville posted:I was reading today that apparently between July 2008 and July 2009 Hicksgillett had injected £86m into Liverpool via their Cayman Islands based holding company - with an interest rate of 10%. This plus other funds that had been put into the club earlier has amassed £8.1m worth of interest that the club owes to them. Nice way to make money if you can afford it. Shame they'd only ever get like 20% of it back when the club goes tits up.

No idea how legit this is but I actually read on Kotaku of all places making my morning rounds. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/chinese-gaming-tycoon-holds-takeover-talks-with-liverpool-1970586.html Seeing as how he owns the9 he's definitely loaded as gently caress although I'm not sure how loaded he is. The article actually says Barclay Capital has basically been out contacting anyone whose had previous interest trying to purchase the club. To make it even better, whoever buys the club apparently has to agree to be in on building a new stadium for the club as well.

I posted this in the EPL thread, but I don't see this guy actually being in the running. I don't think he has the money in reality and like most sane people, he feels that H&G's asking price is at least double a realistic valuation. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/chinese-gaming-tycoon-holds-takeover-talks-with-liverpool-1970586.html Check the comments, for what they are worth. Selling your best players every year and falling behind on paying player wages? That sounds like Portsmouth to me.

I would assume they have little need for financing over the next 4-5 years. Staying up will probably help increase their turnover and they have ownership that can slightly nudge them in the right direction if any unforeseen issues come up.

Apparently the Chelsea board is upset at the Guardian article about Chelsea's debt.Chelsea's Official Website posted:'Contrary to media reports today, other than a small residual balance Chelsea Football Club and our parent company Chelsea FC plc are debt free and do not owe any money to our shareholder (Fordstam Ltd). Neither do we owe any money to Roman Abramovich.' Take what you will.

To be fair those figures are from when Wolves were just a Championship club, I imagine their turnover has increased drastically this year. Which they then spunked on Kevin Doyle. We'll have to wait a year to see how healthy Wolves' Premier League business model has been.
