Could this be a case of VT paying the Sala fee and associated costs, and him covering it with additional shares?
Or maybe something else?

I'd be interested to know, too, if as fans, we can buy these shares. If so, how, and is there a minimum purchase?

Each year if a club makes a loss , financial rules say you have to prove the owners have the money to cover the losses otherwise under financial rules we would of been penalised big time . This does not mean it’s Tan who has put the money as the document will not say, it’s confidential. It could be Tan, Dalman or a third party , we won’t find out till next year , about the same time as the Sala court case.

As I understand it, he's basically added 'new shares' that brings an additional £17m+ into play. What that money means or us used for remains to be seen but it may be as simple as 'operating costs' to cover the season...
I'd be very interested to hear what someone like Keith Morgan has to say on the matter...

Most companies do this when they venture into a new project that is meant to be for the good of the company. The extra shares are created to raise the funds for the project. This does at first bring down the present price of the shares but usually they make a quick recovery if the funds are raised so the project can go ahead. This sort of thing usually attracts investment firms and Hedge funds.

Thanks, Annis![]()
That now makes some sense and if it keeps the EFL Wolf from the door for another season then it's a good thing
Interesting to read that it's not possible to know exactly who put the money in or whether there is more to it but it will all out in the end (next accounts)

It can only have come about in one of three ways
1 -an outside party has invested £17.5 million into the company by buying shares- very unlikely as you would have to be mad to buy a minority interest in a club heavily in debt, with very few assets and run by someone who knows nothing about football. 2
2- Tan or Dalman have put 17.5 million cash in themselves in exchange for shares
3 -Tan or Dalman have bought 17.5 million shares for cash and the club has then repaid £17.5 million of their loan with that cash. This is a round about way of a debt for equity swap, but in the end leaves the club with debts of £17.5 million less than it had.
If 1 or 2 its great news because the club has some cash and indicates we may be in the market for decent players. If 3 at least our debt is going down.

Wez,
I am not going to go into anything on this with you, because everything I have said is direct from a professional and a good source in the club![]()
