Tell Timbo, tell timbo
He has been told.....
Tell Timbo, tell timbo
No I'm suggesting what he could do with his dividend, ie his own money, as an extremely rich man, so nothing to do with other shareholders. I don't see how I'm raising hopes of Wolves fans! I'm just giving an opinion.
As a serious point, implying that the Chairman of a publicly listed company is about to sell shares (or should) to fund the club is a market-influencing event for the Redrow share price, and therefore Tim is actually on very shaky legal ground and is probably in breach of the stock exchange rules. Wouldn't be surprised if someone from Redrow doesn't have a word.
How I read it originally though was to issue shares in Wolves, buy them and use the cash to buy players, hence his point of getting his money back when he sells the club.
Tim - you said release shares. That has nothing to do with a dividend. Do you even know what the dividend Redrow paid this year was? 2p per share. There are 369,999,000 Redrow shares in issue, so basically Morgan owns something like 120m shares. 2p a share dividend on that is a grand total of £2.4m before tax.
Might pay for one Eggert Jonsson once you take wages, signing on fee etc into account.
I would have thought as a journalist of Wolves, he'd have known that Redrow paid £74m in dividends this year and the owner of Wolves would have got about £22m of that.
