so how did it work?

club wanted to buy Hucks
club couldn't afford to buy Hucks
club went to local business man to ask for funding (possibly as a loan)
club bought Hucks
club lacking ambition for asking local businessman to help fund transfer

        I guess the local Businessman was out of cash when the opportunity (NCFC) - phrankin, May 22, 13:35:20
        
        yeah, and the lack of ambition the board has shown by not pushing the boat out (NCFC) - blindasabat, May 22, 13:39:20
        
        Eh? We could have bought Crouch if we'd raised £1m (NCFC) - Old Git, May 22, 13:45:48
        
        maybe, though in the end he didn't help keep Southampton up (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, May 22, 13:54:58
