An interesting article on football English clubs taking loans out against future earnings with an Australian bank Macquarie. They are the 2nd biggest lender to football clubs after Barclays Bank.

Why Premier League clubs are turning to an Australian bank in big numbers

Teams in England’s top two divisions are taking sizeable loans from Macquarie, at times mortgaged against future TV earnings

Deliberately misleading title warrants a perma-ban as a minimum, to be honest.

As in all aspects of my life, disappointment follows early excitement.

"In an ideal world I think most fans would prefer that the club owner takes on the form of a benevolent dictator and gifts the club the money through an interest-free loan, like Farhad Moshiri has done at Everton. But they are always much harder to find.”

Carlo Ancelotti signs as Everton manager
DBB says we need to look at other options for shirt sponsor
SportsPesa I’d dropped as sponsor
A USM related company sponsors the shirt for 40m on a 5 year deal
We borrow against the first 3 years and hand Carlo and Marcel a150 m cheque ( 30m transfer kitty ) plus whatever he raise by selling the trash.
Is this possible and legit ??
Following year Moshiri takes on the club debt and hey presto another 80m in the kitty
