First Jedi 0 Posted November 27, 2009 Yeah - gives - it was originally a loan, which she wrote off. (as far as I can remember) - although (again, AFAICR) it was around 9m, not 13m, but still.Apparently she makes about 1/2 million per book - received over time, rather than a lump sum or anything. And she actually needs to eat herself... So that money isn''t mostly from her, but MWJ.Also - her publishers would insist she promotes the book, otherwise she''d be wasting their money.

blahblahblah 2 Posted November 27, 2009 [quote]And she actually needs to eat herself...[/quote]She''s a cannibal ? And she grows limbs back like Alligators do ?

Mister Chops 7 Posted November 27, 2009 So....In the context of no buyer being out there and no philanthropic chicken magnate about to buy her out (sorry Wiz, it''s just not true)...Our majority shareholder Delia Smith does the PR rounds on TV and radio. Drums up trade for her new book, coinciding with Xmas. Sells more copies. Makes more money. Can therefore give more to running the club meaning we have to sell less and can possibly buy more.Where is the problem here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon she''ll recoup a large percentage (if not all), but as near as much of the money she''s invested into NCFC.I don''t think Delia will be out of pocket when she steps aside....Can you prove that she will be out of pocket?No, I don''t think you or anyone bar the majority-shareholders, will actually be able to to prove it, or confirm....that she''ll be out of pocket? Will you be allowed access to her bank-account and finances when she does depart? Because you or I will not be privy to that information, so what is the point of a wager? If Delia is a few quid down on what she''s invested and converted to shares in NCFC, then I suppose she would depart with a loss....but will it be substantial?....No, I personally don''t think so.

Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted November 27, 2009 Off the top of my head (memory) but you will need to check these figures :Money put into ordinary shares according to NCFC Accounts (to 31/5/08) - directly into the club £5.6m.Money put into ordinary shares according to The Times - ex G. Watling / Chase holdings £0.7mB Prefs shares (at 31/5/08) - may be redeemed if NCFC get to The Premiership £0.3mLoans - that we know about £2.0m Now IF the ordinary shares are sold at £30 per share in a takeover, I think if I remember right the figure would be something like £9.8m approx. for Delia - MWJ. holdings Then the loans and B Prefs may be repaid at some point too.
