In general

AA explains that the Club was in a critical financial state before the new shareholder consortium arrived.

Other issues
Season Tickets - AR explains that prices will increase in some areas, but a final decision on the prices has not been made yet. An announcement will be made in the 'coming weeks.'
Stadium Development - AA explains that there are on-going discussions with various parties regarding stadium development. AA explains that there will be changes in the summer, aimed at 'maximising revenues.'
Luigi De Canio - AA explains that the only reason Luigi isn't conducting press conferences in English is because he doesn't want to 'misinterpreted'. GP explains that Luigi is happy here and that stories linking him with a return to Italy because he is 'home-sick' are false, because he only has one member of his family in his country of birth.
Youth Department - GP explains that there are on-going plans to take the Youth Department into an 'elite' band.
Car Giant - AA explains that an 'amicable agreement' has been made with Car Giant to cease the partnership from next season. AA explains that the Commercial Department are in discussions with three or four interested parties regarding shirt sponsorship, but insists they will not sell cheaply.
Transfers - AA explains that there will be 'reinforcements' in the next transfer window and that GP is working on a number of 'exciting' deals.
Disabled Facilities - AR explains that the disabled facilities are a 'priority area' in the new stadium development plans.
Pre-Season Tour - GP explains that Italy or Spain are 'viable options' for a summer tour, but insists an announcement will only be made when contracts have been signed.
ABC Loan - AA explains that the ABC loan has not yet been re-paid, but talks are on-going with different parties to refinance the loan before the July 31st deadline. AA explains that a solution will be found before this date. QPR
