@hibbo'sclass have you checked to see if the charges have been removed as Moshiri said on Sunday?

Bristol City's owner is probably worth more than Ashley, and Moshiri. Makes no odds.

It's not how much you've got it's how much you are willing to spend.
Ashley bought an already built up club, big stadium, good income streams. So even if he spends it's not going to increase the value much, (altho the tv money will probably see him right) Moshiri can invest and gain at the same time.
Checked earlier today. Both JG charges and both Barclays are still there. Pru and EIL ones went weeks ago as previously discussed mate.
All charges re options still on IoM registry as of yesterday, but they are about 2 weeks behind (25 Oct to be exact)
NB existence of charge is irrelevant to a certain degree - JG could be owed nothing but charges exist and Barclays ones are standard bank o/d facility ones..

So is that effectively debt free as the man said?

So some debts have definitely been cleared. The others you mention are they large? I suspect as Moshiri took over months ago these two have not been settled for some reason or other.
Probably not. Although JG may not be owed money, they may be. Just pointing out that a charge doesn't necessarily mean a debt.
The Pru debt deffo cleared but this was known and discussed weeks ago. See previous response to @TommyDavo re JG
Edit Don't know how much, if anything, is owed to JG

Just as an aside, if BHHL have repaid the debts, then in the absence of a share issue the money they put in is a loan, so there is still debt, just that it is owed to the owners rather than externally.

Nice that it seems that we actually did offer something mental for a player, but does kind of go with the idea that we set our sights a bit too high in the summer and it did indeed come back and bite us. Why would Witsel or this Koulibaly chap kick up a fuss to leave their decent clubs to join us with no Europe to offer? It's not all money it seems which is actually kind of nice.
Hopefully we've learned from this going forward.
Its madness spending 60mill on a centre half, i dont care how good they are Williams im sure is prob a better signing for 10 mill.
Couldn't agree more Ij. Btw I quoted Dymak as he won't budge on his opinion that money is everything.
While it does stand true much of the time, sometimes it clearly isn't the case.

There was in the early part of the summer the feeling that one marquee signing would open the door for others, and as has been well discussed we came close, very close on several occasions. Once it became apparent it was more difficult that previously thought targets and strategy changed.

It's good to have some evidence that we had the cash and we're prepared to spend it, but as i thought, either the club's didn't want to sell or the player didn't fancy us.
I was having doubts that we did for a bit and @davek was right all along and that is why Koeman blurted out, so perhaps he is just frustrated that we didn't land any big fish then. If we are a club that are prepared to spend 60 million on a defender then it proves that we can compete, we just need one or two top players to come in first to make it an easier sell to the rest. We need to mop up players like Hart, Rooney and Fabregas if they are available, whether or not they are 100% what we need.
