Sounds like we may be seeing a (partial) takeover soon, I would imagine. Interesting to see who by... Agreed, no way is this a full takeover, the words of the departing directors suggest they leave to make room for the investors, I'd imagine MM will hold majority still.

Would that not put the club into profit much like the sale of the stadium did? ? The club was rumoured to be up for sale for £30 mill (or at least part of it is). You could be right though - fingers crossed you are - I don't really know if that can be used towards FFP or not. Although it would seem open to abuse if you could just sell part of the club to increase your FFP room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tram Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Might the - selling the stadium - and Academy ownership - affect the ownership of the club in any way? (I don't really understand it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tram Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Are there any FA rules, or any other regulations that prevent football clubs from asset stripping - or can a successful buyer do what they like? Don't owners of some clubs take out loans, and run-up debts, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tram Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Do football club owners ever make money from their investments - apart from the windfall of being promoted to the Premier League? And do owners tend to literally take out profits upon promotion and/or from parachute payments if a club is relegated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenBr Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Just now, Ken Tram said: Are there any FA rules, or any other regulations that prevent football clubs from asset stripping - or can a successful buyer do what they like? Don't owners of some clubs take out loans, and run-up debts, etc.? If there are rules they either don't work or the EFL don't enforce them - see Bury - the club basically didn't own anything itself when it got kicked out the league. The EFL has its fit and proper persons test though -so I'm sure whoever is coming in here will have been checked thoroughly by the EFL. Technically speaking FFP is supposed to stop a club piling on unmanageable debts, but would it really stop someone who didnt care about points deductions? Mel now owns the stadium, I assume the club still owns the academy. I imagine it just lowers the sale price of the club, but I think Mel is staying on board for the moment.

Ken Tram Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 As fans, are there particular ownership models that would seem better from our perspective - other than a fan like Mel? And are there any accepted warning signs for us to look out for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Forest have bank rolled all their recent signings because the sale of the club showed as a massive profit on the books even though the money will have gone straight out of the club with Fawaz?!

They also have a policy of investing in young players. However, if they wanted to change our name then I'm sure it would be a big no-no from the majority of the fanbase.

Ken Tram Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 What if we are bought by Chinese owners who want us to play in red shirts? Isn't it considered to be a lucky colour in China?
