Simon Jordan?My maths is probably up the spout here but who owns the other 4%? I thought the Chinese had retained c1% at best.

Or sell it to a petro-chemical billionaire who is based outside the UK.Or sell it to a mate
Who owns the other 4% as I understood the Chinese investors were no longer involved (but I may be wrong).HHSM has just reduced his controlling share in CFG from 78 to 72%. The 6% is assumed to have gone via a new shares allocation to Silver Lake Investments, increasing their share from 18 to 24%. The deal raises another £210m capital injecion into CFG.
What does it mean ?
Is there a medium term plan to move to a PLC/Coporate model listed in the US ? That would destroy the "state" narrative bollocks once and for all. Wtf would the shills do for a living then, the grifting shite hawks that they truly are. That's a perfectly legitimate ownership model btw, I've seen it used somewhere else, not sure where.
Where any funds raised ? Either with this or at any other time in any other way. The stadium plans hinted at stuff already being further along presumably leisure entertainment related. As does this and the hints to further plans with Sony. Just wish it would all hurry up same with getting out of the Legal battlesI think there was an allocation in June, but this is a new one in November.
All the shares carry voting rights, I think.
The question of going public is an interesting one. Remember that all the footballing assets were transferred to Midco? I always thought that may be due to separating football and other (future) entertainment assets (Sony, e-sports and the like).
It may be that the plan is to float the entertainment assets independently from the football assets, at least until the football assets start, if ever, to make money.
Thought this was @twosips for a minute:)

New shares so new funds. Mansour seems to be happy to have his stake diluted and SL seem to be happy to fund it .... Whatever that means :)

As the national debt trends towards £3 trillion, the UK-GOV are launching a royal charm offensive aimed at the Gulf nations inc UAE, hoping for a new 'mega' trade deal. I wonder if the delegation includes any of the PL fuckwits, sorry I meant executives...

What great time for disgraced Peer Lord Bassam to launch his bid to ban Sovereign Wealth Funds from investing in English football.Just look at the numbers!!!!!!
“Britain has a £57bn annual trade with the GCC nations and is in the final stages of negotiating a free-trade agreement predicted to raise that figure by 16%. “
Oh and sorry but an English circus organisation has decided that one of the key stakeholder investors is associated with a multi year, multi million pound fraud.

just had to burn my eyes out, cheers
A brilliant knock down when twats start mouthing off.So Silver Lake own a bigger percentage stake in ‘state owned’ City than scruffy Jim owns in ‘Jim Ratcliffe owned’ rags.
Make it make sense.
I see Magic Hat has run a thread on ‘state owned City’ with a classic opening line ‘I’m not sure of the current ownership structure’ ?? In other words the current structure doesn’t fit the tripe he writes.
