Great that we have someone on board who can help rearrange the deckchairs.

There is a shit ton of small America investors plus two of the original CPFC 2010 still own 5% each I believe.

I think it's been said on here before that the assumption that the % of the financial stake = % control of the club is mistaken in this instance

As some of the investment has already been used on purchases ahead of today's announcement I'm sure SP and the other board members are much more savvy than to be bent over by Sainsbury's.

There are other minority shareholders. Calm down.

Agreed, talking about % of shares owned not voting rights.

Once again, thank you, Americans.

[SOUTHGATE EAGLE]

After the attempted EFL bullshit, not sure I want to see more Yanks anywhere near football, let alone our club. We know how they think. Hopefully, this is the one American investor willing to put in more than the minimum to protect his investment. It also makes Harris and Blizter's contributions look far less generous to this window than we may have thought.

But I guess we can't turn up our nose at a time like this. Hope we don't regret it later.

Maybe his company can make a hologram of the new stand... would look good on TV without actually building it!

Without the Americans, you wouldn't have had to worry much about the EPL, let alone the EFL

Ok yeah as before makes sense, but sure essentially UK based investment is 50% and US is 50% that’s what I’m trying to work out.

Yes can’t say I’m comfortable with this, needs must but I really hope that there are protections in place to maintain SPs overarching control

We could have had different investors who contributed more. And we will never be sure that our continued presence in the PL is only down to the Americans, unless you are just making a debater's point.
