Can you explain the reasons behind the share issues ?




The news about James working towards setting up analytical program's for other football clubs is nothing short of alarming.


If I’d have known this about James before the Forum meeting then it would be something I’d have definitely asked about.

The Share Issues are there to fill the £8 million shortfall YN.

Rather than putting cash from their pockets straight into the club with nothing to show for it the route of buying shares means they have Share Certificates in their hands which can later be redeemed/ sold. The money that could be received may be a little less if the share price falls but at least money put in can be recovered if some shares or even the whole club is sold.

James has been at Zelus Analytics for two years YN.

Nearly all clubs spend the largest proportion of their expenditure on the player budget. It is not special to BFC.
