A question on the recent share issue - Rather than another interest bearing loan, my thinking was that given Tripp had bought in, they dilute his holding by a further share issue and therefore increase their return when the club is sold?

No, it was a rights issue, so new shares issued in the same ratio as existing shares, so shareholdings not diluted.

One minority share owner did not take up their rights, so Sullivan bought their shares, marginally increasing his shareholding.

Our numbers, how ever the graphic appears, is entirely correct, as pointed out previously

Ashley put in £200m when he bought Newcastle and cleared an otherwise impending demise, he has charged zero interest

A question on the recent share issue - Rather than another interest bearing loan, my thinking was that given Tripp had bought in, they dilute his holding by a further share issue and therefore increase their return when the club is sold? Caused me a minor moment of excitement

Everyone on twitter is just some bloke on Twitter. Anyone that reads too much into shit they read on twitter is a foooool.

No wonder this country is in such a mess.

On the plus side, Villa and Liverpool have decent Yank owners, in Liverpool's case not the first ones, who apparently were proper cunts

Got to say, bit worried about American ownership after looking at Arsenal and Man UTD. Guess it can't be much worse though

He's not just "some bloke from twitter" he's well respected in sports journalism, hence why he's followed by a lot of famous names in the industry

Some bloke on Twitter. Highly reputable. You're basing your entire whinge on this. Get a grip.

Any source on this terrible chart yet?

Re: Premier league interest payments to club owners last 5 years
What the above also tells us is that there is interest on £45m still owed to them for 5+ years.which must be around another £15m...


With interest rates of 4.25%, it's closer to £9.5 million, for 5 more years.

Only it's 3 and a bit years, with the loans being due to be repaid on 1 January 2024

Re: Premier league interest payments to club owners last 5 years
"West Ham have paid the sixth-highest bank interest payments in the past five years within the Premier League according to research published by football finance expert SwissRamble.

West Ham have paid out an additional £19.7m interest to owners David Sullivan and David Gold in respect of shareholder loans made between 2011 and 2014 with £45m loans outstanding."

That's from C&H and it says that after GSB said they wouldn't draw interest payments they did in fact take almost £20m for themselves.

What the above also tells us is that there is interest on £45m still owed to them for 5+ years.which must be around another £15m...

All from owners that kept telling us they would not take their interest payments!

Re: Premier league interest payments to club owners last 5 years
They are LIARS! Made a big fanfare in the first couple of years about how they were reducing the debt. 10 years on we're still in debt and penniless, this after selling our home and reducing overheads by renting a stadium for peanuts.

Why would they clear the debt when they are skimming off millions in interest.

Try getting onto to 5Live or Talkshite to point this out and you'll have no chance, whilst they get the thickest callers possible to rant on about the lack of "PASSION" in the players and how GSB "saved us"

What about interest payments to non-owners?
How does that add up?

Re: Premier league interest payments to club owners last 5 years
( they will spin it as clearing 3rd party debt no doubt?)

Every year, we seem to have a "payday" loan, in anticipation of receipt of Sky monies. So that hasn't been cleared.

And £39 million was to be repaid in July this year, for the latest payday loan. Maybe why player sale monies, haven't been spent?

This is the sort of stuff that Five live callers in need to have in their hands so they don't get manipulated and look clueless and fickle.

Re: Premier league interest payments to club owners last 5 years
By the look of it - Even Mike Ashley isn't charging interest. And the bloke doesnt even like his club. Bonkers.

Re: Premier league interest payments to club owners last 5 years
They are not fans. We know that. The thing that "grinds my gears" is the promise of clearing debts Brady made in the first few years of ownership ( they will spin it as clearing 3rd party debt no doubt?). Lies. They are liars which apparently Sullivan resents more than any other name he is called. So that is how we will refer to him from now on without exception :-)

Re: Premier league interest payments to club owners last 5 years
Surf - I think we are in agreement.

Bottom line for me is that if they were 'real fans' they would just write of the debt and discussions about interest rates would be academic.
But they aren't and they don't.
