With a percentage going to Brighton, some to cover running losses, some saved for same reason next year, infrastructure investment etc I think MR will be lucky to have a third of it to play with and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s far less than that. It’s possible DK will need to take money out to cover however he purchased the club.If that’s right, good deal.
It seems the club know more about negotiation than those who were desperate to sell to the first reported offer…
Here’s hoping we get at least half of that to reinvest in acquisitions over the next couple of years.
Where do you think the other half is going?If that’s right, good deal.

I’m pretty sure Portuguese clubs have to make the figures public via their FA. Sure I remember that being the case.Wait for it

NÃO DIVULGADOI’m pretty sure Portuguese clubs have to make the figures public via their FA. Sure I remember that being the case.
Doesn't it give you a good feeling when our club start playing hardball over the sale of one of our assets ? Can't remember the last time this happened in our favour. Normally, it's been the buying club dictating to us and we'd have just bowed over to their minimum offer.
As said, if €24m is the final accepted offer, that would normally have been a bumper sum to rebuild the team. My only concern is that this protracted saga has been in the press so much, any player we approach to sign will have had their values doubled by the owning club, each looking for their own payday and knowing we've got the funds to play with.
I think they did a pretty good job actuallySporting/agent playing everything out in the media is poor form

Still, there will be enough to fix the broken window.
Well Brighton will take a cut and then there are a lot of other areas of the club requiring investment/mitigate losses, e.g player wages.Where do you think the other half is going?
Didn’t say they hadnt but it’s tapping up and I’d imagine there will be issues if he doesn’t go thereI think they did a pretty good job actually
Happens all the time, just not normally to our players.Didn’t say they hadnt but it’s tapping up and I’d imagine there will be issues if he doesn’t go there

Of course but the reality is there are holes to plug in the day to day running costs and I’m sure there lots of further infrastructure improvement that MR would like.Possibly but if Doug wants to have a sustainable club for more than just the next couple of years he’ll need to invest in the play squad. As evidenced, that’s how you can actually make money.
Where do you think the other half is going?
What should fund operating losses? Or should wage bill be cut?We shouldn’t be funding operating losses with assets sales.
Absolutely worst way to run a business.
All of that money needs to be used on infrastructure or transfer fees. Nothing else.

Apparently it’s 10% of the fee.With a percentage going to Brighton, some to cover running losses, some saved for same reason next year, infrastructure investment etc I think MR will be lucky to have a third of it to play with and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s far less than that.

The owner should fund it
yeh this... the low expectations placed on our new owner do my head in.The eejit who bought a Championship club. There’s no route to profitability here. You can contain losses and be sensible, but you will lose money until you exit the league.

Well shouldn’t Doug have had a plan for that when buying the club?
How would the losses have been funded if Vik didn’t want to leave?
not going to happen it seemsThe owner should fund it
His plan seems to be increase revenue and presumably plug the holes with player sales as we have always done.Well shouldn’t Doug have had a plan for that when buying the club?

Does he even have much of his own money to put in?Extremely likely IMO. King already told us he’s essentially unwilling to put his own money in. I don’t think he bought the club for the reasons most fans think, definitely some ulterior motive.

Pretty sure he’s here to stabilise the club financially and infrastructure wise and then the club will sold on. He’s more hands on to get a job done that Sisu couldn’t. Just my hunch.
Then I'd imagine Hamer would likely have been forced out the door.
