    Yet Pearson couldn't make a profit from external events when it was brand new and now there's getting on for 20 years maintenance required....

    Which Pearson wants the football club to pay for.

    But didn’t one of the other prospective sales fall through after the Allams asked for extra dosh for the SMC at the last moment?

    The SMC pretty much broke even when AP ran it, it's only been under the Allams that it's made big losses and he wants the SMC to pay to maintain it, as that's primarily what the SMC is there for and it's what it did when he ran it.

    Yes, but that was nothing to do with the council, it was just the Allams trying it on.

    That never got to the point where heads of terms were agreed and Grieve never even showed proof of funds. Nor did he buy another club.

    They Yongges deal is the only one that's got to this stage, and was rejected by the premier league after the Allams had cleared their desks.

    When it was brand new, yeah.

    So it broke even at best when new. Where does the revenue come from to maintain it?

    Or did Pearson know he was always going to flip the club in the Championship so it didn't really matter?

    For them to be posing for pics etc, they must just be waiting for the ink to dry

    They run the SMC as a loss making concern as it makes sense from a tax point of view for Allam Group.

    Without new owners and new investment we are headed back into the football basement. We need this change to inject some verve, excitement and passion back into the club, both for the diehard supporter, returnees and new fans. Lets see it happen!

    Yes and no.

    Any losses in any business they can offset the tax on.

    Makes no difference to Allamhouse tax bill whether that's City or the SMC.

    Obviously that only offsets some of the losses and is no substitute for running a business at a profit, so if its run at a loss, they still lose money.

    I hope so but I would wait and see how they invest first
    But I’ll still be going no matter what they do or don’t do.

    Just typical! The new owner's only been in the city for two hours and already he's getting his back pocket dipped. Is there no end to this greed?
