Is it because they are debt free? oh hang on a minute.
Anyone who buys Bolton is either a dedicated fan with a billion quid or dodgy ****ers.Or in Boltons case are on the verge of a second sale since the Allams put City up for sale.
No. But they own their own ground, don't they?
Not sure - but presumably the price would be adjusted accordingly. Just as any club owner will surely have adjusted their asking price for a club that doesn't own their stadium. Or maybe not!
Wigan went for £23 million and that included a stadium with the same capacity as the KCOM.

They loaned themselves some money, then charged us the interest on it that they needed.You must log in or register to see media

I still dont get how nobody can ask sensible questions about the interest payments/'we take no income' contradiction plus the £50M figure, which is the outstanding loan from themselves to City.
How do you believe that they had found somebody to pay 'the agreed price' but then said No after the 'buyer' said they had no more money to run the club. Dumb statements/actions that should lead to a few more questions.
Agree with most of that, but if 4% is a standard rate of interest can you direct me to your bank please?Being the devils advocate, the Allams would of course in their 'smoking mirrors world' correctly claim they have taken no salary from the club, instead hiding behind the fact that the 'Bank of Allam' is both charging standard rate interest to the club whilst using potential losses, write downs, provisions etc. whilst offsetting their corporate tax liability at Allamhouse. In their world its a win win!
The Allams have never been transparent, never will be and continue to treat their stakeholders and supporters as dimwits, something that has created a different legacy to the one they had the opportunity to create, and did so in their early days of ownership, since which its all gone down the tubes!
Biggest disappointment for me , is that in spite of the Premier League money and income, what does the club have to show for it today in the way of improved, higher value assets, absolutely nothing! A legacy of nothing!
Until they are gone, the word optimism doesn't and won't exist regarding our club!

If you borrowed £50m from a bank, you'd pay at least 4% interest on the loan.
