Both...
We spent all the lottery winnings and are now skint again. To support our newly established lavish lifestyle we have had to take out a few payday loans... :-)

It also shows uefa and the prem we operate just like any other club, it etablishes a paper trail and that we are not being subsidised by the sheik putting his hand down the back of the sofa and pulling out the odd 60 million or so .

Something about borrowing the money and assigning the incoming TV money to the bank as surety, I think. I think it means that the actually money at the club doesn't change, but it gives some spending money upfront.

These practices should be highlighted (if true), but to single out two specific clubs is just disgraceful!!!
What must it be like to be a journalist these days, and have to swallow your pride on an hourly basis to publish shite to the masses? I don't care what the financial inducements are, integrity is priceless to me!!

A payday style loan ?
The oil must be running out, i knew this would happen....!

The thing is someone is now going to have to stay behind every friday at the stadium to pay the tally man. I hope they remember to get the book signed ech week.

Wrong Hoeness told the media that Sheikh Mansour just puts up the oil prices to pay for our players.
