Bud the Baker Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Still not resigned for Livi even tho' they won the league over a month ago. You'd reckon some club has him lined up - maybe a club whose season isn't yet finished (Jim Goodwin's Alloa if P&B bantz is to believed?) Don't see it being us now - sorry shull.

Surprised that Livi haven't signed Buchanan up for next season as he would get them goals. Maybe Livi have sourced an alternative supplier......................of goals.

cambiebud Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Which Livingston is this? Version 3,4,5? 3.5 million! Ffs This shambolic cheating club have around 700 fans at home games. They don't own their ground, I believe. Who would buy shares in that basket case, given their history of folding every 5 years or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs This shambolic cheating club have around 700 fans at home games. They don't own their ground, I believe. Who would buy shares in that basket case, given their history of folding every 5 years or so My late father-in-law ran Livingston juniors for years before and after the senior club popped up he even sold Mark Yardley onto Cowdenbeath. He used to tell me about this amazing goal machine they had that was Mark. My father in law had a really bitter taste in his mouth as they got nothing from the council while the new senior club got lots of money to help set them up. 3.5 million is a lot of money to raise especially when each share is only £1.00 at least in the press this morning they have told fans not to expect to get their money back in the future. You have to ask where they expect 3.5 million to come from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Quote Livingston have launched a share issue aimed at attracting up to £3.8m of investment in the club. The offer is part of a move that will see ownership of the Almondvale outfit switched from Livingston 5 Ltd to a new holding company, Opcco6 Ltd. Up to 3.8 million shares, priced at £1 each, have been made available, but potential investors have been warned there are no plans to offer a dividend to shareholders and that they should seek independent financial advice on the share price. Possible investors are also informed in the share document that “in the context of an equity investment in a Scottish football club participating in the Scottish Championship in the current economic climate, you should not expect any income from, or return on, your investment” and that no market exists for their resale other than to directors and supporters in the club. The document highlights that Livingston was burdened by around £1.5m of debt in the last accounts to the end of June 2016, mostly in the form of loans to directors and supporters. But that is expected to reduce to £400,000 with Oppco6’s buyout and an associated debt-for-equity agreement. The new owners will hold one million shares in the club, with the offer memorandum stating that “if the share issue is fully subscribed, new shareholders together with existing supporter shareholders can own over 60 per cent of the share capital of the club.” The most likely scenario, however, appears to be a more limited take-up of the shares by individual supporters wanting to own a part of their club. Director John Ward, part of the Oppco6 consortium, said: “All funds raised shall go towards increasing the playing squad budget and a future all-weather surface. “None of the monies raised under this scheme are going to pay off historic debt, which is mostly being converted to club stock.” Cambiebud - Which version of Livingston is this? Reckon the clue's in the name of the new holding company Opcco6 Ltd. IOBS - I'm sure Livingston still receive help from their local council in the form of a peppercorn rent for the use of the stadium. As for the new share issue, what can go wrong?

djchapsticks Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) I'd imagine there are better options out there than a 32 year old journeyman who has one prolific season above League 1 level in his career. If he was in his early to mid 20s my stance would be different. Edited May 20, 2017 by djchapsticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
