Comment | Morsy: To Get a Club to the Premier League Would Be Amazing
at 19:59:54
Sounds like they appreciate the welcome and use it as motivation, but very clear that it does not guarantee anything except hard work on the pitch and trying to be the best they can be. I think that is all we can ask. Doesn't stop us dreaming tho'.

Not often I hop for a Norwich win, but that would take the wind out of Hull - COYBBBs |

Comment | McKenna: We Have Big Confidence in Ourselves

I understand your comment Maltster, but if we are a struggling club in the PL, even if we are a yo-yo club for a few years at least the money would add to the investments to build the team even more. Also, let's not forget the surprise that GB pulled off last time. |

Comment | Town Announce New £105m Investment From Bright Path Sports Partners
at 18:37:27
There is a difference in accounting terms between capital and operating funds. The FFP rules apply to operating funds so whilst the additional investment possibly could be used for on-field improvement, as stated by Mark Ashton, the club still have to operate within the operating funds FFP rules. I believe that is why some of the investment is being directed towards getting a Cat 1 academy to help raise future funds for new players (selling on players developed by the club) and be in a better position to stop other clubs raiding our young players. |

WashbrookBlue, according to the interview ORG have not sold any of their stake in the club. However, because of the additional investment, their holding has been diluted from 90% to 50% meaning they are still the majority shareholder and are still very much looking at continuing a long term investment. Note that on their books ORG will be showing an increased book value even if the % of shares is 50. |

I went to my first town match in September 1962 and in all that time there have been a lot of ups and downs. I just finished watching the interview with Ed Schwartz and Mark Ashton and given that football is now, like it or not, a big money game then I see this as a huge positive. It appears that we have investors who will let Ed O'Leary and Mark Ashton get on with the job of managing to a plan. It doesn't sound like they are going to be arbitrarily buying players that KmK doesn't want or bringing in a manager that Mark A doesn't want. I like the comment that they see themselves as caretakers of a club run for the supporters.
COYBs into the PL. |

Just watching the highlights after watching the game live. That clearance by Wolfie was very good defending, before the shot you can see him running into the space not covered by GK, yes he was lucky the ball deflected away but was good defending to make sure he was in that position, he didn't just happen to be there. |
