Rev Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 10 minutes ago, RadioactiveWaste said: Oh I think he meant it, but in a "my recompense coming another route" kind of way / anyone meeting the criteria to qualify for Mel's £1 offer would almost certainly be able to gift Mel a "significant" amount by some means" - there'd probably be a transaction of £1 to say to everyone "look, it was sold for a pound" but it wouldn't be costing the new owners £1 to buy. And of course the poundshop memes and jokes would never stop. Isn't that pretty much how Mel ended up in charge? Offered £15m in day to day funding for the club, and received 20% equity in return? Then was asked to bring forward the following 4 years investment and complete the takeover on the same terms. I'm unsure GSE ever received a penny themselves for the club. Happy to be corrected.

I actually think it's a shame that fans haven't had the opportunity to voice an opinion (within reason of course). We only really get the chance to do so on a match day. No fans means the club can hide behind their non-staments and dull platitudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, there was no debt to MM at 30 June 2018, and his company owed the club circa £80m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only highlighting the fact that he didn't say he would sell the club for just £1, as some posters were implying incorrectly earlier in the thread. Out of interest though why would his company owe the club anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
