    Is that purely to pay for Jack Grealish's wages?

    I think it's how decent owners inject money without piling up debt, could be wrong though.

    It's how football finances has to work now in the divisions above us - you cannot pile up debt, but have to issue equity. So they have. That way at least £18m of losses can be wiped off the accounts for the year and keep them within FFP.
