They passed the second test with Reading because those 2 names weren't included, I believe it was just him and his sister on the second apication although I could be wrong on who actually bought Reading in the end
How many people do you know who have £20/30m in cash in their back pocket ? Its how business works, FFS you should know that.
Wouldn't look good! New owner, just spunked £30m on his new club, capacity crowd booing. And all being broadcast live on Sky worldwide! I'd be surprised if Ilicali hadn't asked them to stay away.
Given the game is live on TV, I suspect that it will be timed to get maximum exposure, a wander onto the pitch and a wave in front of adoring fans ! All covered by the sky cameras
Jeeeees..... the best day at this club in 1677 pages and there are still some throwing stones at each other.... simple. would you rather be in debt to the Allams... or in debt (with a chance) with Acun...?
Depends doesn't it. Allams waving bye bye on the pitch to a chorus of boos would amuse me completely and I wouldn't care one way or the other about Sky viewers. ...that won't happen...sadly!
A few pages back now, DMD suggested a sweepstake on how many differing variants of "the deal" there would be. He opened the bidding with eight. I suggested a larger but unspecified number. So far, we have, Debt Free No it isn't Yes it is, sort of, but he borrowed the money to pay off the debt. And that is before the original sweepstake closes with the scarf and pitch picture.
I think its obvious acun isn't funding it himself totally, but i think the interesting part will be if the club purchase includes borrowing from an institution or along the lines of persons backer where it's more a personal agreement ( I was to young to understand it all when person took us over so apologies if I've got that wrong ). If it's to a bank/institution then we are instantly in a worse financial position.
