Gibson Selling


Recommended Posts

So just to be clear, people are okay with Gibson running the ship poorly in a bid to keep costs as low as he can for himself because he knew it would no longer be his club anymore so wasn't really ar-sed where we ended up so long as he walked away with his company debts paid and a tidy profit.

 

Either it's complete rubbish or we've been conned and there's only been one winner.

 

20k+ fans out of pocket by £400+ each and he walks away with a £7m payout.

 

To be clear this means over 30 year reign he has made a profit from the fans.

 

If true I will know longer accept the keeping the club afloat argument. Always the fans and always will be. The club, no all clubs no matter the sport is nothing without them

 

He had at least 7 yrs of putting 12 million a yr in

Could it be for once the club has been run within its means and people are complaining about not giving it a go. What would have happened all those yrs if the club had operated within its means

He hasn't written them off. He's moved the debt internally. As I said the sale would pay if the £90m owed to Gibson o neill plus £7m on top.

 

He ploughs the money in through his parent club. Hardly out of his own pocket when he's getting it all back. Do the fans get their season ticket money back?

You have absolutely no idea how much he has spent over 30 years and how much he is making from this imaginary sale that is still only a rumour. Neither do I but I really doubt that he or his parent company is making any sort of profit when everything is taken into account. But if he does then fair play to him. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have a club in the first place.

Do you understand business. If he doesn't plough money in he keeps it. Fair enough he has to pay tax on it but the remainder he keeps. But if he pays 70 million into mfc he's still at least 50 million pounds worse off

By ploughing money into a losing entity (the boro) the overall tax Gibson O neill pays on theirs profits is offset against boros loss.

 

For example, bulk makes a ten million annual profit and boro as a whole loses ten million annual, as the the club and the company are the same company, over all the profits are at zero.

 

In summary, Gibson pays less tax due to boros losses, he maintains a saleable asset at losses less to him than the boro accounts show and on top of this he expects boro to pay Back Gibson o neill anyway to the tune of £90M+.

 

He isn't stupid he's not ploughing money in, he's not losing any king of money. It was a loan and a loan he wants back.

 

This is his prerogative as owner. And him selling still sounds dubious. But don't spout all this he's out of pocket and sacrificed millions for the boro, because he's likely getting that back.

 

Do you get your season ticket money back?

Heard a whisper on who the new American Owners have got lined up to manage Middlesbrough in the Championship next season if the takeover goes through. Let's just say he would be our most decorative manager ever and would definitely be a big pull for players.

Decorative? Sounds fancy, but is he a good manager?

Decorative as in his achievements as a player. Is he a good manager? Debateable. But he does have managerial experience. He would definitely divide opinion. He's a name who would be a big pull for players which is something we need here in the NE.

Decorated, not decorative. We're not going to use him as an ornament.
