    It depends how much they’re putting in and what the loan is secured on. It wouldn’t make any financial sense for them to spend all this time trying to take over a football club to then, after a season of not getting promoted, sell the stadium and probably not even break even.

    A couple of million quid to this lot will be like loose change. Their only interest is in us getting back to the top flight where the big money is. They’d be more likely to tell Donald to sling his hook and put their own people in charge than start flogging the ground if we don’t go up.

    If it was a loan from the likes of SBC i would worry about this.
    However these are 3 chaps who are actively looking to invest in a football club.
    Yes they will want a return but if they wanted a quick buck they wouldn't be looking at football clubs
    Their objective is to own a football club not make an instant killing
    RTG saying if we can't pay back the loan the americans won't want they equity (i.e shares in the club)
    Its completely the opposite they actually want to own the club and this way will get it on the cheap.

    Just my opinion and remember we are just speculating

    It's likely a bit more obligated on both sides I would think.

    There's very little advantage to a group like MSD simply loaning money, they want to have us as an asset one way or another. They're not a bank, and the rate of return is not high enough to justify the risk/outlay, so make no mistake, they see value in us and they see it as a worthwhile risk if they come on board. They won't be doing anything capricious like bankrupting us because that makes no sense to anyone except a pure money-lender who has no existential reason for the asset to exist beyond a financial stake.

    Not only that, but SD would also want them to come on board in future, even if we were headed to the PL, because he quite simply doesn't personally have enough cash to invest in order to keep the club running at that level.

    If they do this deal, it will be with a view to solidly coming on board as owners and having multiple options and methods to exercise that right.

    I’m a bit like you, a little bamboozled by these young buck financial wizards.

    Ask the reception how to get to Surprise View, it’s a short drive or walk and you basically end up directly above the hotel with fantastic views of Derwent Water, Bassenthwaite, Catbells and the entrance to Borrowdale.

    Nope.. I mean the below..
    A shackle is a U-shaped piece of metal secured with a clevis pin or bolt across the opening, or a hinged metal loop secured with a quick-release locking pin mechanism.. This is what I have put up dopey, to prevent the yanks getting hold of my club!! :emoticon-0172-mooni:emoticon-0172-mooni

    I don’t know but I doubt it. He works in commerce and commerce is where there’s money to be made so I’d imagine they want control of it all.

    I agree. I mean what's a chap to do if you can't trust other chaps to do the right thing?
