Main Stand redevelopment thread

[Spiderman]

We've been for sale the entire time. The issues, whether we like it or not, are Parish and our ground.
If anyone buys they are going to want control. The ground is going to cost mega bucks for not much return.
Another issue here is price. We are worth maybe half of that in reality. No one is going to pay near a billion for us.

It would only be to get new investment. Not a takeover.

There seems to be smoke from the fire of “ we have started something we can’t afford “.

Yep. And Blaming player spend for using up the funds earmarked for building? Over the past 3 years we’ve had a net £nil spend on transfers

Bezos recently invested in Liverpool so assume Parish and Johnson are looking to cash in while the football price tag is high and get someone to buy a minority stake to help invest in the infrastructure (the new first team training ground and the new stand). Hopefully it will be someone who actually supports the team rather than a hedge fund. Farage knows quite a few people with spare cash?

Need to remember that to avoid tax complications, any new money needs to be by a new share issue.

All depends what the work is doesn't it? If someone charges you a grand to paint a normal 4 m2 internal wall with standard dulux paint, that would be taking the piss.

Work in the construction industry tendering projects and have done lots of work on own houses also and you get all sorts.

Anglian homes tried to charge me 16k for a 2m x 2.5m set of bifolds the other day which is ludicrous. Unfortunately I think there's people out there that do pay it though as dont know any better (and hence why their price point is at that level)

Of course there's tons of good people out there, I'm not saying there isn't. Just saying there's some people out there that effectively con people for the work they're doing / do

If you can piss you can paint as the saying goes.

TBF skimming is a learned skill, and most could learn and do it but wouldn't, hence Casuals healthy rates. Sparky's make less afaik.

Woody Johnson invested and bought Textors shares and he hasn't got control. Buying and investing are separate.
The problem is investors or buyers don't like using their own money. Three of our shareholders are billionaires, so they have the money, just don't want to spend it.
