Correct.
The only good thing was he lent the money interest free.

Under the new APT rules, shareholder loans have to be charged at a market rate of interest.
This is no longer relevant to us but means that clubs like Brighton have to restructure their funding.

True mate. We had up to 11th of Jan to clear shareholder loans, we’re grand now.
 

Let's hope our Toyota-selling new owners have us terrorising the Premier League soon!

Today’s companies house filing confirms that all new funding is via shares and the only remaining debt in the club is a small secured metro bank loan.
The total interest savings is close to £50m per annum.
Watts: "The transaction has seen most of Everton’s debt either converted to equity, repaid or refinanced on terms more favourable to the stability of the Club."

From what I've read, the albatross of poor finance has been removed from our collective neck.

Last week we were visited by the chicken of depression, but today we find the bluebird of happiness has moved in.

I have no idea why I went for bird references.
 

Hmmm not sure about that. Friendkin will do everything to protect his shiny new asset and that surely involves immediate strengthening of the team.
He will AT but I think acquisitions will be modest. Perhaps £20 million on a couple of full backs? I dunno, I'm just guessing.

I can see quite a few bob being spent in the summer especially if PSR constraints are lessened with new rules and / or Branthwaite's sale.
