But if, as you say, the new rules were always unlikely to survive legal challenge was he wise to base his acquisition on an improbable scenario. Flawed due diligence to say the least. <br />Kentish Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09723445695934694980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-8376294296212481372015-12-31T15:07:43.811+00:002015-12-31T15:07:43.811+00:00Meire's laughing comment about how weird it is...Meire's laughing comment about how weird it is that football supporters should feel ownership of their club was a truly chilling statement. The last time I heard a football club CEO talk like this was Bill Archer's mouthpiece David Bellotti at Brighton & Hove Albion; and that, I fear, is the measure of what we are facing.<br /><br />Luv Robin.Robin Relianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862924923231783873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-65313534181415598292015-12-31T11:08:51.561+00:002015-12-31T11:08:51.561+00:00Anything is possible.

He could potentially sell a large number of players this January (or in the summer) - Lookman, Gudmundsson, Watt, Cousins, Moussa, Bergdich, Harriott, Henderson, Fox, Pigott, Phillips, Ba, Kashi, Sarr, Ceballos - which could return some £15m in transfer fees if he got the negotiations right (not guaranteed!). This would still leave the club with the majority of its successful u21 and u18 side to play the season in League 1 (thus increasing their value). With lower gates (west upper closed), and lower running costs (i.e. no programme costs (as sales have dipped due to lower gates...); the ticket office being closed and online sales only; office space outsourced, etc), the inherent value of the club would still be there for a sale (returning maybe most of his £14m plus interest on debts). Is this his plan?Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04355730579594651227noreply@blogger.com
