Weren't we refering to a loan from the end of August?Levy has been eliminated from any say in how we go about raising funds or outside investment.
Yes agreed. If there are people looking to buy. Levy could be conducting a private auction Amanda vs Lewis family for example, trying to get the best valuation. As a minority shareholder commonly your shares will be discounted. Far more valuable if Spurs were sold as one.So he has two choices, he accepts the dilution as he thinks he comes out better in the long run because of the incoming investment (much like the club does) or he cashes in all of his holding or part of.
On the other part. There well maybe some justification for taking a loan, but borrowing from the future is always a bit brick, it's all a bit Klarna, chasing your tail.
Look at the clubs Macquarie already have on their loan book and it's the Leicester, Southamptons Sheff Utd etc...plus the interest rates ain't pretty. (The 6-7% quoted was from 5 years ago)

That article is 5 years old. It lays out what Macquarie do. I think it's been reported but also safe to assume, the reason we've used Macquarie is that is the loan type they offer (ie secured against future earnings')That’s not in that article unless I missed it

What happened to the Geordies btw?Because we have lots of headroom for owners to invest, I don't think it makes too much difference in our case. Just the added cost of interest.
What happened to the Geordies btw?
I thought Ashley had left them in a good position PSR wise?. Is it because they just don't have the revenues to support regular big spending (as a percentage) after an initial splurge?

May have been in a good position with regards to PSR, but a very difficult situation squad wise along with a very short term focus on fixing those squad issues. And revenue, for sure.What happened to the Geordies btw?

Think Munn was saying just the same.
