But he specifically wants that ?20m to go towards transfers...

He seems to think he can get the club for free, which is simply not the case.

Now, if he offered to pay off the club's debt (which would demonstrate tangible betterment for the shareholders), in return for a certain amount of shares, that would be more like it.

        Finally we agree (NCFC) - hod80, Jul 5, 15:27:29
        
        I doubt it, it would be seen as friendly arm wreslting in the press (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 15:50:13

        I'm still confused what you saying (NCFC) - hod80, Jul 5, 16:07:13
        
        so you are saying rely on luck, you sound like an NCFC Board member. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 16:43:09

        well, we will see (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 17:04:31
        
        Actually we are in the situation where we get a 1 million bid for shackell (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 17:06:09
        
        Can't believe we could get a million pound offer for Shackell (NCFC) - hod80, Jul 5, 17:26:11

        He's being naive then... (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 5, 14:50:31
        
        creation of new shares? do you need this explaining yet again.... (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 14:53:25
        
        oh yeah, but the problem is if he buys 30% shares he has to offer for every other share (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 14:57:46
        
        So are the rules different about buying unallocated shares, to buying shares already owned (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 5, 15:00:30
        
        That is where my limited knowledge ends im afraid :( (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 15:01:36
        
        Oh... (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 5, 14:57:25
        
        well it not as clear cut as that... (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 14:59:33
        
        Re: The same thing happens on a smaller scale every time there is a share issue. (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Jul 5, 16:24:43
        
        well, the values are made up in that fashion (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 16:44:28
        
        You would have thought the loan would have been converted to new shares (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 14:26:01
        
        *if this is actually true. But there are tax issues around 'giving money' (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 14:26:49
        
        In virtually everything nothing is just black or white (NCFC) - hod80, Jul 5, 14:33:34
        
        like all the loans the club has from its directors (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 14:41:03
        
        Turners loan is interest free (NCFC) - hod80, Jul 5, 14:43:49

  - Maybe the Turners are offering 56 million to buy the club? (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 13:30:00
    - If the 56m includes their loan, surely they only need 54m ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Jul 5, 13:47:49
      - absolutely, 54 million it is. less the cost of their shares too! (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 13:50:36
        
        And ?20m of it is a theoretical transfer fund. (n/m) (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 5, 13:53:49
        
        maybe they are buiying out Delia and loaning the club another couple of million quid (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 13:55:51
