Another one of those regular £20 million share issues yesterday.

Another one of those regular £20 million share issues yesterday.

I assume this is the usual debt for equity swap to keep us the right side of P&S rules.

Where is the limit with this sort of money injection, I wonder?

How do we do it so often (and I am glad they did, and I trust they know what they'd doing in terms of the rules) but remain the right side of FFP?

[sid1964]

I suppose the limit is when they decide not to chuck another £20 million + at the club every few months

We are so lucky to have them as owners, hopefully they will remain our owners for a long time.

[pauliewalnuts]

Well, that is how it seems yes, but I am not talking about their willingness to spend the money. That's great.

I just don't get how we manage to swerve FFP problems.

This isn't anything to do with FFP.  That's just about profit and loss really.  There's no reason an owner can't put money into the club, but it won't count as income on the P&L for FFP purposes.  (I think)

[Risso]

Sticking money into the club doesn't directly affect FFP, but you need to look at the reasons why it's needed. If the club is continually making losses, then obviously it's going to need injections of cash from the owners to pay its way. If those losses are higher than the amount that the Premier League says you're allowed, then you could be in bother. On the other hand, you can be making a profit and still need cash at different times. If you sell a player like Jack Grealish for £100m, but the payments are staggered over 3 years, then you might need cash to tide you over if your outgoings are higher than your incoming money at a certain period of time.

I guess they have to start putting in the money for the redevelopment of the North Stand soon ?

The inner city training centre as well.

I thought we were in a reasonably sustainable position from a FFP perspective since joe left, no?

Thats right FFP is a P&L measurement a cap on accumulated losses.
Investment is a Balance Sheet transaction.
