Fellow Clarets.
When Garlick was chairman the club shares were worth X. I remember them being sold for £100 a few years ago. When ALK bought Garlicks and John Bs shares, they probably got more than £100 per share. I know that ALK bought with loaned money, how does that actually affect the clubs economy? (Apart from the obvious with a loan and montly payments). In terms of funds available, I understand that e.g. matchday-income, player-sales, sponsor-deals etc. can be made available as transfer-kitty, but does the "new" value of the club affect that in any way?

When it comes to new signings, we're linked with half of the Championship and 1/8 of Europe. Is it realistic to expect big money-signins having in mind that the corrupt donkeys at FFP and PL/FA made rules where clubs can't spend more than X% of the yearly revenue/turnover? City did well in going around that part with the sale of the stadium-name and sponsor-deals. Looking at the transfers the recent years, the club was most active when Gray and Keane were sold.
