LFC Debt

[dww]

um, can we think this through

monetary policy, ie interest rate policy is used when the economy is strong, over heating to avoid inflation. Hence currently, interest rates are fairly high in comparison to recent years

in an economic downturn, its far more likely that interest rates will fall, to encourage growth.

Could we not also refinance the deal in some way in the style Arsenal keep being reported to be doing when economic circumstances change?

yes.

but like mortgages etc, there could be costs involved of leaving a deal early

It should be possible, anything is.

The question is, are there competent enough people to make this happen ?

[CAD]

no its not.

a recession is just a fall in GDP for 2 consecutive quarters.

i can't be arsed to get techincal, its just not worth it.

Parry said originally that the stadium debt would be secured against the club as this was the most beneficial and practical way.
Man U have £750m of debt, when we build the new stadium we will have less debt, potentially a bigger stadium which should be making us more money than united's as we should have more corporate facilites along with the bigger/same sized stadium and also we will have naming rights bringing in £5-£10m a year. If you couple this with new merchandising opertunites and the increased tv revenue then we should be looking at being more profitable than the scum. The worst realistic scenario for football is that the tv revenue will drop, the numbers going to matches should not have a real drop unless more people watch on tv - meaning more tv revenue.
The club will grow and we will make enough money to cover LFC's and G&H's debt so I do not see a massiv reason to worry at the moment.

I'll wait for the count to tell us we're screwed before I get worried

I think it answers the point.

One week we are screwed because the yanks are skint and wont give Rafa the transfer funds he wants the next we are screwed because they are going to saddle us with loads of debt.

I'm sorry but so far G&H have been true to their word therefore I am not worried.

They know we will make them reddies so they'll stump up in the short term.
