According to a post on their Instagram account from 4th May, Bluebird Mutual are now minority owners in us along with Spal in Italy.
Seems odd that no official announcement has yet been made.

Thanks @bigmart
Just wondering if shares have been sold for this, or as such advertised in the programme as having advertising rights and called partners?

Is there any connection with the Italian guy who was seen at matches at the end of last season ?

Spal seem to be owned by Joe Tacopina who was seen with Palios last season.

Can you post a screenshot of that post? Although a Google search suggests there is something there, the most recent post I can see in Bluebird’s insta was in April.

There are no filings at Companies House to say we’ve issued any new shares this year (I.e. raised new funds) but that could just be a case of the relevant documentation either not yet submitted or not yet processed by CH. Alternatively, it may be that these minority shareholdings were acquisitions of shares from existing shareholders, likely the Paliosi and/or Santini, in which case they wouldn’t necessarily mean new investment into the club. Yet..

Haha nothing is secret these days .

To be honest if any prospective new investor calls us a “futbol team” I’d be hoping it’s a hoax!

Tacopina recently founded a company called 'TAC 1884 UK Limited', the principal activity of which is 'sport clubs'.

There is certainly something afoot.

The thick plottens, surprised Palios hasn't had a photo op as buying new or old shares is newsworthy even a decent distraction for twitter scallies!!!
Previously his Italian exploits have been rumoured to be on behalf of two Italian brothers, who wait for it are allegedly front men for one Pres Manduro. That would make the Vaughan episode look positively saintly.
