Imagine another premier league chairman saying nobody on the board has any money to put into the club, what a joke! 
Also lol
19.20: BK: "I've never taken a penny in wages out of the Club and that won't change."
Yes Bill, but you're looking for a 500% return on your investment you idiot.

They bought the club for 20 mil, and if you remember back in March I think the club was priced at 120 mil.

Quote from Prenno at meeting:
"1st class network of advisers, agents, bankers etc are all out there seeking investment. Reasons it hasn't come to fruition is not price."
The old adage "telling is not selling" applies. This statement oozes like a slippery eel addressing the mysterious years of no sale as "not the price guv!" but notably avoiding the phrase "for sale" - "investment" is a massively different game.
Playing fast and loose as usual ....
Is the place for sale? (probably not)
IF it is -how much?
The answers to these 2 questions are all that matters - if awaiting a mug to gift them cash while they remain in charge or pay a ludicrous profit on shares from over a decade ago it just isn't right - it hasn't happened and very likely isn't going to.
Meanwhile certain clubs leave us behind and others are catching us from afar - deserve the fate of the Sheffield's, Coventry's, Derby's etc if we sit back and clap.

...and how long ago was that, and what has inflation been like in the business of football since then ? I bought a bungalow in 1974 for £7000.....wouldnt take less than £180k for it now. I must be a REAL profiteer! Get real.
Just one example of 'football inflation' which generally runs at about 3 times 'normal' inflation....average transfer fee at the start of the Premier League was £500,000....last year it was FIVE MILLION.Thats a 20 times increase!!

In all fairness your Bungalow is probably better now than it was in 1974. As opposed to Everton which are currently operating at a loss and have no assets except our players pretty much. While those players are much better than the ones we had when Kenwright bought us, it still doesn't account for an asking price of 120 mil for me.

Leaves more stuff unanswered that! Going on about a "Piece of land " for new stadium, but no idea how they would fund a build.
No real positive stuff that would make you want to buy the club, other than, "havnt we done well despite no cash".
No directors have cash to inject. Really? I mean REALLY?
Our main source of overseas income seems to be a gameshow in China!! And these guys are meant to be serious businessmen?
Well at least they didnt make up the latest "serious foreign investment syndicate in the wings" BS this time.
I really want to believe that a lot of the anti board stuff on here is wrong, but I am a convert after following that. It sort of reminded me of a Jeremy Kyle show, when he is talking to a useless Dad, whose only response to his uselessness is "well, I do the best I can, but its not my fault."
