Now, we’re miles away from that and I don’t think he’s got the desire and money to further it. He’s probably been looking for a while, but making a desired effort to get promoted to make the club more attractive. Promotion is looking iffy at the moment, I don’t think he’ll want to be here for next season. Just my opinion…….. DC could sell us tomorrow if he wanted, the problem is no one is going to pay £150m that is his asking price. DC is that useless he thinks the fact he has wasted the best part of £200m to make us worse than when he bought us, strip the club of all of its assets then ask for any more than about £5-10m hes living on cloud cuckoo land, we wont be sold until he is forced or we are a premier league team the later will never happen with DC is in charge. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do El Gouna have a history of any decent players that we could benefit from a link up? Well they're in the top division in Egypt...round about half way. Standard is roughly Championship +/- Most of the Gounies are in their late 20s/early 30s One that stands out is Amro Tarek who's a defender (bit of a brute) although understood to have been a fairly good striker in his early career in the USA.

How do you know that's his asking price have you enquired and showed proof of funds? Truth is everyone wants him to go and he needs to go but no one knows what he is prepared to accept for the club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl84 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 How much do we really think the club is worth? Just the cost of buying the stadium? Take the debts over of the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jack Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Given DC is still putting money into the club indicates he cannot be desperate to sell. Where he gets his finances from and how long that will continue is unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the debts over of the club? But the club doesn't own the stadium anymore. so the club is probably worth £5-10m max, based on players still in contract after July this year, if DC includes the stadium he might get back what he originally paid about £30-35m. As we all know the stadium is not worth £60m, that just happened to be the figure needed to avoid breaching the FFP rules at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sham67 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Seeing as Sheffield 3 have only paid the club £7.5m so far. It’d be a bit cheeky of them to ask £60m for the stadium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think getting the money back is a decent call the football side of things you’d get sweet FA for with the debts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club is worth £1 Annual cost of running club outweighs the assets and the revenue generated. We are a loss making organisation trading only because owner underwrites losses each year Ground value would be down to proper independent valuation.

Got to be worth a couple of quid at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was buying the club, unless I was going to rejuvenate the stadium, I would just rent it from DC and look to build a stadium which would pay for itself to move in to longer term. With regards to the club, you could try and organise a payment structure like Milan did with the old guard and make a lesser payment upfront for the club, then hope DC would go for it.
