Animis Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 At some point DC will sell, unless he's wants to hand the club over to Atte, which as he grows into adult hood is probably unlikely when he sees the state of things. So the dilemma for DC is how long - does he cut his loses and bail out this year, or try to claw back some potential value to get back to at least where he was in 2016/17. That could take anything between 3-5 years, and is dependent on a good manager and players, which is another 6/12 months off. He's losing what; £10m-£20m a year, on top of the £100m or so he's already invested, with no value other than the scoreboard capital depreciation. He could be in it for another £50m/£60m until we are ready to sell, and even then will the investment be re-couped - will we be worth another £50/£60? I doubt it, so what's the point? I'd bail now and take £30m and minimise his loses, as even he must see that he's not capable to see this through. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t a be careful what you wish for post by the way, it’s just if his “advisors” are involved then I dread to think!!! indeed, but it goes with the territory of selling a club these days after all i believe MM made it clear he had the club at heart and he'd only sell to someone decent, however if you research who he actually tried to sell it to mammadov and serbian gangsters etc that was just words. If we did get a new owner the best we can hope for is someone who is either a uk native or will devolve responsibility to a decent ceo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now despite your bad management and all the crap advice you have taken from so called experienced ‘friends’ you are now mega millions down and your bank balance is looking pretty slim. To make matters worse as every month goes by your losses are mounting up with absolutely no sign of any financial improvement. You begin not sleeping at night. Today with little or no support from your family and now even your son has lost interest and you can probably count on one hand the supporters that would open a door for you at Hillsborough then WHY wouldn’t you listen to any offer that comes along and with the test of time even think a out accepting the best offer even if it did fall miles away from your expectations One thing is for sure as each month passes your losses keep escalating. You might get a bit of rest bite with those that have coughed up for next season’s season tickets but that won’t last long At some point no matter whether that’s now or in a few more months Chansiri WILL sell SWFC Just believe and er ‘prey’ I’m right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DoesJackHunt Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 So, no investment this January while the "take over" talks rumble on. Then surprise, surprise! The "take over" falls through early Feb. Cellini at Leeds used to do this every transfer window. We don't even own the stadium. No one is buying 25ish league 1 players and a run down training ground for 130m; which is/was Chansiri's asking price. Southampton just got bought for 100m. No one is buying Wednesday for more than that. Call me a cynical sausage by all means but we aren't getting sold, this is just a smoke screen for no January investment in my opinion.

I don't think failure and leaking money are any guarantee that these crackpot owners will just sell up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
