To me, the refinancing of the bonds by another bond is a good idea in principle (and pretty normal commercial practice) - I am slightly sceptical, though, as to who is going to invest in a bond at this stage - given our current finances it looks much more like a potential donation and much less like a good investment than did the PLB 1 and PLB 2 offerings, but if we can find willing buyers who are made aware of the risks involved then that will be really helpful.

Cope discredited the rumour about out of contract players.
Woodroof seemed really happy and has certainly not left š
There was talk of a Ā£1m loan on offer but had not been taken

Weāre certainly not in a great place, but plan A looks ok to me. Good to see Laurence putting more money in. Hopefully when my company gets growth equity in April I can contribute more. What are others doing ?
Who is saying things are going so well - bleak picture painted at gbe beginning of the meeting - including MB saying relying on player sales is not sustainable - followed up with what is happening to confront that - key message to me was we need to vote 50.01 in to enable 1 or more of the 8 investment interests to move forward - the other key fir me is raising the 15% threshold - if that doesnāt happen then it becomes tough tough

I like the refinancing of the bond debt idea - and whoever heard of a Ponzi scheme that offered lower interest rates - assuming they actually understand what a Ponzi scheme isn
I do agree with $6M man that the "rumours" were certainly not proved false. The most important one (that we are experiencing liquidity issues) was substantially confirmed at the meeting (the difference between "we have taken a short term loan because we ran out of cash" and "we will have to take a short term loan in June, because we will run out of cash then" is so small as to be insignificant in this context)

Bolton & Pāboro ST are already on sale - it was mentioned at the meeting last week that it isnāt unusual for clubs to start selling ST in Feb

6M - my comment about older and younger, relates to the area I sit in, and the discussion that was had in the group before the match and at half time. Have zero idea whether more supporters/others feel that way.

Big red flag that ST are going on sell at the end of Feb. But im glad things are going so well in some eyes š

Cope claims he is happy as does JJ and Woodroof (but then they would, wouldn't they) and the players haven't been told that they won't be offered new contracts. That doesn't mean they will of course. There haven't been two loans of a million.

My only agenda is to see the club I love progress and reach its potential. It was great to welcome Reading to PL yesterday and if we stay as we are we will be welcoming Reading Town in a few years to PL.

Donāt confuse Agenda with realism and understanding that its hard for us owners to make this club sustainable.
So what rumours have been proven to be false and what is this agenda about? We're still making losses, we're still going to run out of cash (an additional loan is just that - a loan, which needs to be repaid with cash we don't have). It seems like PLB3 (which we were previously told was a non-starter) and finding some mug to fund losses without any control is the only shows in town.

Blaming younger supporters or the WHAD podcast is poor. If the club try to shut things down rather than deal with them then people will find ways to highlight issues. If this offends older supporters then, frankly, I don't care because I don't see why as they should know better.
Well VAR certainly knows how to ruin a football match thatās for sure š¤Ŗš¤·š»āāļøšš¤¦š»āāļø (Liverpool vs City)

Crazy end to the Scouse/Shitty match.
Lewis must be pretty sure of a full recovery if he is turning down a contract extension.

To say the rumours were engineered is poor from Mr L. Rumours are rumours, itās what happens at football clubs. I donāt any harm those rumours have done other than piss off some of the āmaturer supportersā (being people youāve spoken to).

mark L-Lewis was on the pitch pre match apparently but limped off, since he has been injured on and off most of the season the sensible thing to do would be to rest him till Marc and bring him back when fit, heāll be off in the summer anyway
