Hmmm if that's true will soon find out if we get BSA.

Bloody hope it is he would get us back, doubt he'd come though unless he's been assured of investment.

Could work both ways that though they still do full take over SD stays on for say 5 years then they fully takeover while investing in meantime.

BSA said today je wants nowt tondo with it- if he dis have interest one could assume ig was when the yanks were serious - or it could just be BSA never wanted to come back, OR he could be lying and has already agreed to come
 
Thought that it was reported at the time that the 3m was 20% of the initial payment of 15m with him having to cough up his 20% share on the further instalments as and when they were due?

No, I’ve not seen anything like that anywhere. It might have been on a podcast or something. The closest to that I’ve seen is that Donald suggested Sartori might invest more if we got promoted but that’s it.
 
No, he paid £3 million for a 20% stake. There is no more money that he owes. That’s it. By doing that they valued the club at £15 million.
Fairly certain that it was either Donald or Methven who clarified it in a podcast because it was questioned on one as to why Sartori was reported as only paying 3m for 20%. They replied that the 3m mentioned was his 20% of the 15m paid so far.

Which would be fine, except there is nothing more to pay in. The £40 million paid was made up entirely of £25 million in parachute money, £12 million from the owners and then Short knocked £3 million off the purchase price because of the Alvarez deal going against the club, reducing it to £37 million.

Look man you dont really know who owns what who spent what who has swapped wives etc- so no point trying to prove each other wrong with no facts
 
Just listned to the SD full interview on total sport, hes on from the 15 min mark https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p07nms0k if you havent listened to it I urge you too and everything you need to know he is telling us. Instead of believing the sun articles and whatever other ****e we have read today, we should believe what ever our club owner is telling us first before all others. All is still on and talks are ongoing, if it turns out that he is bullshitting his own paying public then he wont have a leg to stand on, something I dont think he would risk tbh

Can you produce proof for this please.
 
I’m not a huge fan of social media, even though I’m on it a fair bit, but I just cannot understand why people are giving SD grief on Twitter. The bloke is clearly working his bollocks off to try and sort this out and muppets are throwing FSQ’s at him left, right and centre. The mind fkn boggles.
He brought a lot on himself by using it and unfortunatley he is suffering now.

Hence why most club owners don't use it
 
Listen to the RR podcast back in the summer. Where SD/CM explain the deal clearly. SD still owes the club £millions because the parachute money was used to pay off the remaining debts. The £millions are being repaid to the club gradually as and when required e.g. to fund losses, pay for Grigg, old player's, reaching Championship etc. Sartori will also pay the rest of his £8m if/when required e.g. reaching Championship.
 
Plus I think he underestimated our fan base, some of whom pour over everything he has said and analysis it over and over again

“CM wrote in the programme notes at the start of the season explaining the situation. The deal was worth £40m to Ellis as he received £15 million and then didn’t have to pay £25 million (to SBC).”

The part about Short reducing the purchase price by £3 million is in a Roker report podcast from May.

Finally, confirmation that the total purchase price was £37 million is here.
