"Mike is an international mergers and acquisitions lawyer, based in London, and he spends a great deal of time overseas. " OMG, we're going to merge with, or acquire Real Madrid....or someone. Probably some club from a tinpot place like Offenbach. Hello Chewbacca, still waiting for my York beamback tickets, how much longer do I have to wait? Don't want to miss it.

"Ranked by Chambers UK 2016 as a leading individual in Private Equity"
More signs that the UWE is going to be externally financed rather than paid for by the Al-Q's?

It's standard to finance projects rather than throw money at them, SH mentioned it the other day 'They are investment bankers..' Top, profitable companies with money in the bank have debt for a reason. it doesn't mean they are selling off shares or income from the new stadium.

"Ranked by Chambers UK 2016 as a leading individual in Private Equity" More signs that the UWE is going to be externally financed rather than paid for by the Al-Q's? I think you are right there. Very unlikely that the Al-Qadis will be personally financing the stadium. But on the other hand you would suspect that any deal that they put together will be watertight(!) and in the best interests of the club so personally not too worried at this point in time. We now have a board that is stuffed full of top guns in their respective fields. And their respective fields include banking, stadium development and private equity. As opposed to milk and microwaves.

Lets not forget that tha Bob the builders, milkmen and microwave sellers were the very people who kept our club going so the "financial gurus and experts in acquisitions, finance and stadium development" had a commodity to purchase.
Back in the 1980's, 1990's and 2000's clubs like ours weren't sexy and only the major Prem sides had foreign investments.
It was the lot of the smaller clubs to be owned and run by local guys made good. Whatever else people may say about our previous owners, they were Bristolians and Gasheads who did what they could with limited means. We should be eternally grateful to them, I know I am.

Does this mean that the blockers with UWE have now been resolved and he's being put in place as we're ready to go on the stadium.
Probably just wishful thinking but why not build on the perfect week.

3 scenarios:
1. Mike T is a clever chap and the owner thinks he will be useful to have around 2. Mike T will be overseeing the merger or acquisition of a US soccer team with a view to developing talented young Americans who have ambitions to play in England 3. Mike T will oversee 3rd party investment to finance the stadium build. As I understand it, Private Equity investors often take shares in the entity they are funding without necessarily charging interest. They make their money by cashing out when the potential in the project they supported has been fully realised and their shares have increased in value.
Given that a new stadium is our most pressing requirement and bearing in mind that other appointments appear to have specific roles and directly relevant skills, my money is on scenario 3.

I look forward to reading over on "on the blob chav chat" how the "delusional sags" think that they are going to bring in the best of the USA while completely missing the sarcasm in post.

From the comments made in the OS article it sounds like he's going to be involved in the day to day running of the club not just arranging financing for the UWE? What happened to the former Coventry City Financial Director, did he ever join us?
