Because it wasn't the first time exactly the same Dick Emery quote had been attributed to Kenneth Williams. By whom,  I don't know but that still qualifies as 'once again' doesn't it?

I think they look smart and have really modernised the ground. I also think it will help get concerts in as they can probably be used for visuals. 

Can see why some people might disagree mind! 

Anyway - I've emailed Neil! 😁

Fair play to Neil Hart - who has responded......

"Thanks for your email and we always appreciate feedback.

Yes, we have a phase 2 plan regarding the gantry, media area and dug out areas subject to our continued commercial growth and football progress but I do agree we have further digital advertising opportunities in the stadium and I do like your retro scoreboard idea.

As you can see, we are all working hard to continue to drive the club forward on and off the pitch.

Thanks for your support.

Kind Regards

Neil"

Ex Liverpool Sporting Director Michael Edwards involved with them. 

Praised for his recruitment work at Liverpool from 2016 - 2022.

Think he came to visit the training facilities one time when we were building our connections with Liverpool and City for getting their youth on loan.

Interesting development

Ian Riley another one that caught my eye, not sure if he was on the last statement of shareholders but he funded the sixth form centre at Bolton School, an old boy I think

Think they have a financial value if we get sold, but don’t have full voting rights.

FFS what a naughty boy.

He’s done very well for himself considering his limitations as a player.

Well done I say.

Looks like last years additional funding has come from Nick Luckock. BMLL ltd which he solely owns has 800 k more shares than last year.

That implies that Ms Brittan's holding is now only 45.12% off all A shares, meaning she no longer has overall control.

Shirley She'll be looking after the Governments share as silent partners? Equitty but no voting rights?

[TrickyTrotter]

Probably not a coincidence that Sharon’s s 43.98% and the Govt’s 6.5% add up to 50.48%.  Nobody from The Shareholder Executive is turning up for monthly Board meetings but if they do, they are voting for the best option to get the taxpayers money back. 
 

Sharon does seem to have taken a little step back recently and I don’t think  Toby et al rock up at many games these date. My guess she will want her money back and more if we get promoted (and I wouldn’t begrudge it, she’s done a great job thus far) Luckock and the Swiss are presumably the growing influence.
