Eventguard Sale

Recommended Posts

Does any body know the figures involved?  I believe, before this sale, Eventguard Limited was a wholly owned subsidary of NCFC plc.  So therefore the sale should generate funds for the football club.  Maybe this money will be used to repay the instalment due on the ''land investment'' loan or in our dreams given to Gunny to bring in Ched Evans!

whats interesting is that the official site says that the club have retained a share 20 odd percentage stake, but on Companies House it says that Neil Doncaster owns 170 £1 shares and leon blackburn 80 £1 shares - NOT THE CLUB

It''d be a shame if this was the investment Foulger and some of the rumour mongers were hinting at.  I don''t know what sums are involved but I doubt they could pay for the loan of Ched for a week, let alone until the end of the season.  Let''s hope summat else is indeed on the cards.

Could this be the ''sale of the club'' that has been mentioned in a rumour recently? More importantly shifting and or sale of assets is often the sign of changes in company structure/ownership. [img]http://www.emofaces.com/en/emoticons/f/fingers-crossed-emoticon.gif[/img]

According to the EDP the club have sold a 75% stake for about £300,000.

Maybe an easy way to get a number of ''non playing staff'' off the payroll and accounts!

Despite the ramblings about player budget, he also implies it will pay for part of Ground''s wages and Roedent''s payoff.

NCFC could follow what many others have done and do a sell/lease back on Carrow Road if it gets really desperate!

Most of the assets are used to guarantee DS''s loans I think.

The EDP states that the club has sold a 75% stake in EventGuard but the official site doesn''t actually say that. It says that Norfolk County Services has acquired a 75% stake, with the club retaining the other 25%. The last Annual Report (May 2008, page 25) showed that the club only owned 75% of EventGuard, so it couldn''t have sold 75% - all of its holding - and still retained 25%.  Unless it bought the remaining 25% of EventGuard shares between last May and now. Anybody know?

Interesting.....

The Club did own 750 shares, hence the 75% quoted in the Annual Accounts.

As we all know Leon Blackburn has left the club and presumably had a financial settlement that would have included taking back his shares for an amount of compensation.

It is entirely possible that this deal is a long time in coming (as now is a stupid time to sell) and actually was part of the reason for his leaving.  If so Neil would presumably have been paid an amount of money to take the shares back so that the Club could offer the stake itself.

Maybe we should ask if Neil Doncaster will be making any of his proceeds available for the transfer budget?  A donation to the Canary Kitty would do it !!
