You just can’t spend money in football that way anymore due to FFP and P and S rules. The guys involved have very deep pockets but you can only spend what the rules allow, id expect us to see a significant increase in our commercial revenues and some very creative ways to bring income in.
These guys are sharp, very sharp there are at least 2 billionaires involved and another couple who have are well on their way there but most importantly from where we have been, they are interested and motivated. |

Not really sure what it all means but it’s Silverstein’s company. Maybe he is selling up ? |

Both were from big clubs I agree, neither had the competition we faced off to get these guys though.
Neither were actually expected to come through at their clubs either, these current loans are in the Gallagher, Guehi, Brewster categories.
That takes money, relationship and strategy to pull off |

We did do some early business last year but we were then faced with the void between then and the closing of deadline where we got our business done in the last week of window.
Rushworth and Ashby both arrived before the season started and with a competitive pre season behind them - that in itself is a big upgrade. We are led to believe that Patino, Humphrey’s and Tjoe will all arrive in next few days.
The other key difference for me is that these are players the club has sought after and targeted. By everyone’s admission last year, Stevens, Cundle, OKO were last minute deals and not even really expected to play games.
That doesn’t put the investors on saviour mould but it looks and feel more joined up, there seems to be a plan and contingency against that plan. That shouldn’t surprise us too much as if we put finances aside, the likes of Cravatt and Morris are incredibly shrewd operators and have been behind the scenes for months. Watson is well regarded in this area and had the luxury of working anonymously for 6 weeks before his start date.
All this helps |

Absolutely there are no saviours here, it’s not our model. The point around the loan players is less about what they will do and more about the fact we have landed them. To land top level loan players you have to fight off competitors both financially and strategically - getting the ones we appear to have got is a big step from last 2 years. Let’s hope they perform to their reputation and indeed their potential.
As for the investment, I think we are making the same point, it is giving us space to breathe and think, as opposed to giving us a big war chest . |

I think there is a difference this year. Patino, Humphrey’s, Ashby and Rushworth are top end loans, a significant uplift on OKO-Flex, Stevens and Cundle and Sorrinola. They will have cost significantly more too.
We’ve outlaid £5.1m on Yates and Kuhlarehvic and I’d imagine around £500k for Key.
We’ve not really done that for a number of years without selling a key asset.
We’ve also done in well in advance if the window closing, which is rare for us. What the investment has done is give us some breathing space to make better, more strategic decisions . |

I’m assuming by what you are saying that there are more than one party investing ? The Morris group seems to be widely spoken of but haven’t heard much of others.
Not sure on who has brought them to the table but we need something to narrow the gulf between our budgets and others in the division |

Morgan is not involved day to day but he is at every club board meeting, so clearly still interested.
Nigel Morris wasn’t at the game last night, he was in Singapore |
