JohnMc 2,620 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 It was Stuart Armstrong dB. But you need to make time to listen to the pod now! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 It was not said we are interested in him it was that his agent was touting him to Celtic and us. As Craig hints at Southampton will probably be looking for most of the 8 million they paid for him. I doubt we are even considering it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listen to the pod the finances of the deal, how it's structured, the dates and points of repayment and how amortisation will play a part are all explained in forensic detail. It's a chartered accountants wet dream to be quite frank... It's mainly me who has the inside track, the others are just there for colour. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply don't have the time to listen to the pod, much as though I would like to. Amortisation has no bearing on cash, so not sure how that would help the funding of any deal. Just as well I am an accountant then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no talk of finance or how we could afford it, I just made that bit up. 4Lads explained he understood Armstrong was being offered to clubs, ours included, rather than it being someone we were actively pursuing. And for the avoidance of doubt I don't have the inside track, I'm only on to make the others sound good. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
