Yeah, just like Southampton were when they sorted out the financing for their new stadium.

Hmm. Isn't an investment, as the headline calls it, something which won't be withdrawn. A £93m loan, debt free or otherwise, should still be treated with caution as jonny says.

And embarking upon a £93m stadium building project at the moment seems a little carefree.

Still, probably better than renting a £15m 3 sided ground from some cunt.

Jeez is it that much?  Still you seem to be buying up every single half decent conference player at the mo, so you must have something down the back of the sofa!

Is what that much?

The new chairman has done the business and secured investment (thats the true meaning of "investment" - non-repayable lump sums) for transfer funds. I think he's been schmoozing with the rich folk in the boxes and pursuaded them to stump up some free cash.

We've offloaded about 6/7 players who signed on very favourable terms, ridiculous sums of money, so have plenty of budget freed up which can go towards wages.

Thats going to take quite a few years to pay off.

Maybe even a decade or two. But to be fair, they do need it more than anyone.

Presumably London is North then? So bigger than gillingham, southampton, plymouth and portsmouth? I think one of those is achievable.

Having read up on it some more, why is it being referred to Tony Bloom providing a loan or financing?

What Tony Bloom is actually doing is pissing away £93m. He will never see that money again.

Plus the capacity is only going to be 22k, is that all you get for £93m nowadays?
