PMG have been buying shares up to recently and have put in around £2mill over the last two years but have now stopped buying so their percentage of the club gradually declines. They could, in theory, sit forever on their shares until the club is sold or wound up.
£3million has been taken from these Share Issues and is held ring fenced in BFC Club Accounts. The money is owed to the Crynes for the 2017 purchase of the club and still not paid because Jean Cryne is treating it as a "soft loan" to the club to avoid the Account going negative but she can withdraw all or part of it any time she wishes.
