Could the so called Sun exclusive not be something along the lines that Donald has agreed to pay Short money if the club went back up within a certain period? It's amazing that Short walked away selling the club for next losing millions wiping off the debt yet whoever came in (Donald) could potentially get promoted within a few seasons to the Premier League and get huge millions in return by selling the club that will be worth far more?
That would mean it's not Donald wanting the 'bonus' money so he's right by denying it but it still exists as a clause somewhere?
Could be onto something there like and as another poster (may have even been you) said the amount of increase from getting promoted wouldn't cover those bonuses if they did exist.
Love your AV mind if they changed the actual badge to that I'd approve.
