Literally a nothing piece (beyond the locked out bit at the start) just rehashing what limited bits that have been reported and the official bits the club have offered up....and of course a little conjecture thrown in.
Did someone slap vinnies head?

Heard someone mention the £100m the Lewis family into the club was just a loan and not just given to help the club as previously suggested

The haven’t put any money into the club as far as I can tell
That was a rumour
They have however taken out a short term, very expensive loan secured on this years revenue which means less money to spend next summer

It was a one-year bank loan, to be recouped with this season's TV revenue. A bit like an old Littlewoods catalogue purchase. I'm not sure I ever saw it framed as a gift from Tavistock.

doesn't seem like the actions of owners that say they have changed.
Bedfordspurs
Gary Lineker
Agreed
I think nothing has changed except they have sacked levy

That report says loads without saying anything at all. Did SkipratMcSillyPants write it?

How dare you!...they have changed!
They've started to borrow money from the future.
That's AMbiTiOn.

Tbf....you have to let some time pass before being able to assess that.

Gary Lineker
True
But it does concern me that there is a sudden reinvention almost as if the people who are now more visible weren’t already there
And that loan…. That loan is a bad bad sign IMO
It's still the same people as before with the power. Levy was working within the limits they gave him, those limits still seem to be the same.
If they really want us to push on they can sell a minority stake in the club and invest it in the team. All the noise coming from them is that is not going to happen.

I think fans need to remember that
So far it’s a better rebranding than Lucky Goldstar

The loan to me says probably zero net spend for the next two windows, other than maybe what's already been reserved for the options to make Palhinha and Munai permanent.
The only way I can see any significant spend is a good run in the CL and qualifying again next year.
Bedfordspurs
Gary Lineker
I agree
Not sure if we will have put money by
But I do think fans may well have to adjust their thoughts on what may happen in those windows

I know that
I'm just saying they're 1 month in.
I'm not defending them. Just factual
Edit. (And this is not defending them either) It was a distinct line from JL down to DL. It's not that now, so not the same people. Same family yes, not the same faces
The only change that was made was Peter Charrington taking over as non-Exec Chairman and Levy going. The other changes had already happened and had been ongoing for the last couple of years under Levy.
