I am not a business pro, but I thought the Sheik was our 100% owner, so how can he possibly acquire any more equity in the company?

We just issue more shares to himself. As he owns it he can do this quite easily. Companies will usually have an authorised share capital, which is the maximum amount they can issue, that is much higher than the share capital actually issued and bought by the shareholders. ADUG "buy" the extra shares for the additional amount they put in.

Bit like having a share in a racehorse. If there's 5 of you and a sixth person wants to join then he pays the other 5 for a share.

So hes just increasing the price he paid for the club really?

so can this go on indefinitely?

EDIT just seen your edit, ahh makes sense
 
The other and more important point:
Loans are debt and therefore repayable and may even be secured, such as MUFC debts
Shares (or equity or, as US call them, stocks) are locked into the company. The investor can not get this money back unless he sells his shares to someone else or has to go through numerous legal routes to arrange for the company to bay them back, which the Companies Act makes quite difficult.

When the accounts are analysed the fact that this money is shares greatly increases the financial position of the company.
 
If it is your company you can issue as many shares as you like and at any price you like.

Good way to get money in without incurring debt.

PMSL @ the rags.
 
Also the club selling shares is a genuine way of making revenue, so we are spending within our means.

No need to worry about us anymore Mr Wenger. Now all you have to do is worry about what we'll do to you.

;-P
 
very different to Irobbedmeselfrich who put the debt on to Chelsea and left it there, as far as I am aware.

No - it's not additional revenue. would show in the balance sheet and the cash flow statement but not the profit & loss account.

No - he's just done the same. So us and Chelsea are in the same boat - make a loss but no debt.
