@watchedToffee saying a new loan has been taken out secured on 2016/17 TV revenue
Not surprised. Groundhog day again. And so the vicious cycle of gambling on the Board maintaining what they think is the status quo starts for another year.

@watchedToffee saying a new loan has been taken out secured on 2016/17 TV revenue
Do you think Bobby spoke out against the company line last night with that fantastic quote? Or is the board on the same page? You're 100% correct, this next week is going to be very interesting!
Indeed sir, we are now borrowing two seasons ahead. JG Funding and some have already traced this back to a well know figure.

The renewal of that loan also shows that they're likely to spend the proceeds in the transfer market, as otherwise the incremental TV revenue and the current level of net spend would mean that they could have cleared the Vibrac loan without the need to renew it.The reliance on debt to fund their working capital requirements tells you all you need to know about (i) how limited their investment plans are for the next year and (ii) they're reluctance to invest or seek investment capital via equity.
Plus ça change!

Irrespective of the funder, the mere fact they've borrowed another chunk of cash at this juncture means that they're intending spending the capital in the forthcoming days, as otherwise there'd have been no financial need to renew. So a mixed bag really, debt level continues on a par (assuming the borrowed amount was the same) but we should see some in comings with the proceeds.The Vibrac loan will have been cleared when they received the final instalment of the 2014/15 broadcasting revenues. I haven't checked to see if it is marked as satisfied or if a new facility with Vibrac has been arranged.

Just posted in another thread about this - but shows how rubbish we are really, if we are using this for transfers or other costs, the fact we are relying on these loans, from what i can read, season in season out is mental.
It shows how poor our balance sheet and how under-capitalised as a business we are.
Re-capitalise through new investors or new owners and all these issues disappear.
