Re: New Owners - Redwood Watch

So nearly the end of the week during which 'Big Announcements' were promised.... With an "S" - as in more than one... At my count, we've had the Joel renewal - a "Big Announcement"... And the internal promotion of a goalkeeping coach to the first team.... That second one is a str...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Losing Amadou would be a big loss on a number of levels, but I can't begrudge him getting a better deal elsewhere - he's 23 and Watford have a good record of selling players onto bigger European Clubs It appears clear that the new owners will have a clear financial strategy which will limit the budg...

There's certainly a lot of talking things up.... not so good on timeframes - suggesting some deals would be announced 'before the end of this interview' - which took place on Tuesday.... Also - pretty clear that he is talking a 2-3 year timeline before the club is flipped - he's given these timeline...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

Sutekh H&P are now an online only brand, no clue where they’re actually based now though hopefully still somewhere in the Reading area.

Re: OFFISHAL CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

It's the word 'debt' that isn't helpful in this context... right - means something different in the world of Rich football club owners.... It took me a while to get my head around it: If someone buys £90M of 'debt' for £25M, how can it still be worth £90M.....? But as more knowledgeable Nobbers have...

Re: OFFISHAL CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

Say that you owned a small company. You lent that company £100k from your own money in order to try and grow it. It didn't work out and now you're selling it on You know that you're never getting that £100k back. No one in their right mind is going to buy your company from you whilst it has a £100k...

Re: OFFISHAL CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

But the question was ‘is all debt now owned by couhig’ and it appears to me some is, some isn’t. Maybe I am being thick/pedantic, but they might now own the 'debt', but it might still sit with a 3rd party institution - otherwise what has happened to the £90M that was in the latest figures...? Not a...

What wasn't stated was, is all debt, including vendor debt, owned by couhig now, o...
