BBC having a slow news day, kinda has a ring to it bugsy of the BBC.

All piss taking aside that article is very interesting 1.25 million rent a year till 2031, did they not have any chats with us when we visited!!!!

This was done back in 2019.

Yes but isn't this now in the hands of a new obscure Virgin Islands business ?

I dont get it, Blues didn't own it anyway?

 

[Gregbant]

I think it is now that the other two thirds has been sold, blues' rent has shot up to 1.25 million for 10 years.

Problems for them I think as it's not a fixed rent/lease , Which will increase within quite a wide parameter should interest rates ever explode again .
Seems an awful lot is eaten up with historic fees and backdated to the point the initial deal was struck .
So if all of the components of the transaction were included the value would £20 odd million ,cash value £10+ million of which they'll see£2 M of working capital.

Seeing Birmingham do badly (and potentially save us from relegation in the process) isn't bad but rubbing off to it? Far better things on the internet for that kind of thing if you ask me.

I wonder if this is smarter than appears.
Who is now responsible for fixing the reported structural problems at the ground?
Though I doubt for one minute a property Company would fall for a sop .
