NSWE Investment

[Toronto Villa]

Carlton Palmer and Benni McCarthy

Finally. Never too late. Can we also please sign Lineker, Juninho and Danny Blind?

Does anyone with decent financial knowledge know what "Statement of capital following an allotment of shares" means? I was looking at NSWE on companies house and seen the sum of GBP 609,138,715 under Statement of capital following an allotment of shares filled on December 19th 2023. That figure has doubled since 2020.

What does that mean from a business and footballing side of things?
