flippinghell fire. That's a decent striker. :ls:

[Mr Farrell]

Holy crap.

100k could have quite probably kept us up last season.

That is quite shocking.

I'm genuinely gutted at that bombshell !

[M Royds]

Seems like a major clanger dropped by :ls: or whoever.

[The Batman]

If the deal that £100k helped negotiate gets completed by one of the 6, then its worth every penny.

9 Carol Axe is now Chief Operating Officer

10 C9 lost credibility when most powerful investor dropped out ICS told club 2 weeks before the bid

11 Nigel has full breakdown of the other expenditure after question re £15m turnover £6m wages what is rest spent on

12 Culture changed forever the 3 non execs admit old way was wrong and LS to be built on

13 Rights issue not ruled out but would cost club money must be certain fans can raise at least £5m

14 other routes currently more attractive than 13 £20m structured deal with staged investment possible

[Mr Farrell]

flip me. Isn't the idea of getting investment, that money comes into the club ?

Not you get nothing, spend 100k on jack poo poo, while all along you have a squad that couldn't score in a Brannigans ?

Lee, Lee, Lee, what's that all about man ?

[M Royds]

If the deal that £100k helped negotiate gets completed by one of the 6, then its worth every penny.

Thats true. But if spent on the squad then we may still be in the Championship and a more attractive proporsition?

All a big IF, I.m afraid?

[rawowl]

So how much should you spend to try and bring in investment ?

[The Batman]

Thats true. But if spent on the squad then we may still be in the Championship and a more attractive proporsition?

True.

I recon we could go over the accounts and find many costs that could've funded a player. It's all ifs and buts.

9 Carol Axe is now Chief Operating Officer

Excellent news

A very suitable appointment

I know Carol well and know what she's capable of (as well as having a sensible head on her shoulders)

[Guest totemowl]

£100k to realise £20M of investment was a good bet, according to the above. But sometimes even good bets fail to come home.

[BobsMagicCalculator]

100k is chicken feed compared to whats been spent off the field upgrading stuff.

I feel we could have done it more gradual leaving funds back for plan B which was needed to fund the playing staff side in January. Big mistakes have been made by the last chairman imo.

maybe endemol sports wrecked the ls deal and subsequently ls tenure as chairman???

[daveyboy66]

This is the sum of Cloud 9 s involvement

£20m became £10m became £5m became £2m (became flip off)

end off

[Weshallovercome]

It all sounds good to me..........I suppose the £100k might seem excessive, but you have to speculate to accumulate sometimes..........and we are 'investor ready' now, that alone must be worth £99k.

p,s, cheers, john.

As Donny said, £100k isn't bad considering they have sorted and negotiated the deal that all the other p[otential bidders couldnt be arsed to do.

Club9 are my favoured bidders but i will support the club no matter what.
