From the Vale thread: Only what’s been tabled in football circles. Not going to speculate other than it was mentioned, my take is simply to wait and see what comes to light. Clearly not going to mention the “P” word but if this was the case then the dynamics would surely change. Money is coming into the club, thus any reasons to reduce the budget would certainly not be acceptable from myself and no doubt others. Will just have to wait and see Mate, but the Club is exceeding break even figures.
I guess the golden question is do the “Board, those owning it” actually have more than a pot to piss in?
I think it's fair enough to speculate on these matters. Unfortunately due to historic circumstances ourselves (and I dare say quite a few football clubs) have some quite murky financial histories that Agatha Christie, Miss Marple and Columbo would struggle to get to the bottom of. I certainly think fans discussion and speculation is healthy in these matters, I am definitely very positive about the club and the future under Clem etc but of course there are lingering doubts that remain.
Is Clem actually the 'money man?' It will be interesting given the state of the world how his businesses are doing at the moment. He's never said that he's absolutely loaded so money potentially is coming from elsewhere until we become sustainable. Fair play that we have reduced debts from 4.5 down to 1.5 ish million quid and if we win the play-offs that will get down to around 1 million and then the Twine money if Franchise sell could potentially see us debt free for the first time in yonks!

If that's in relation to the "rent" thing duke, the maths of the alleged debt don't add up.
Very much a wait and see.
I think with Xavi and Standing (presumably) still in the background the future is a bit opaque. Just a personal opinion.

On the debt free thing, when was the last time we were actually debt free? Can anyone even tell me?
Can't say when the club was handed over to the charlatans and not the indie band, because we still had a 'soft debt' to Andrew Black that Power purchased from him.
When was the last time we genuinely didn't have a sizable debt hanging over us? I'm not sure its in my lifetime and i'm 34 soon.

I'm very much with BO in that I wouldn't be surprised at all in any debt creeping out the closet with how things were ran previously. Also wouldn't be surprised if LP is claiming X amount is owed in loans/debentures, which the club are contesting. If that contesting fails, then that'll potentially be 'new' debt - although any good forecaster shouldn't be disregarding that anyway.

The new owners have got their absolute dream 1st season. Record crowds, high season ticket sales, premier league team in cup run, additional playoff fixtures and potential high sell on fees (twine). At our level it genuinely can not get any better than that. We haven't had the above go our way for many years and lets hope we can get the true benefit of it

Spot on - Not much better than this. Therefore expecting some positive intent with next seasons budget.

There was a kind of 'we've got our club back thanks to these guys' tweet done by the official site that then had a picture of Austin and Clem, which I found kind of odd? Nothing at all about Angus.

Think Austin would have a very different title if it wasn’t for his ‘interesting’ past.
