Did these people not listen to the interview or did they just not understand what was being said? My take on it was that he wants the loan from MSD transferring from Gellaw to him personally (or whatever vehicle he is buying the club in) that way, rather than using the money to clear the MSD loan it can be used for funding the club instead. I am not sure how that equates to a leveraged buyout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is this sort of interview being conducted on a nationally broadcasted station brushing it under the carpet compared to doing it on a locally broadcasted station that gets about 8 listeners?

In the example shown in this thread the guy didn't just question why radio Derby hadn't got this interview, I'm sure the reply would've been far more civil if he did, but specifically called out Dawes and his colleagues for "poor journalism". I don't care who you are, if you choose to frame a question in this aggressive manner you'll likely receive a reply in kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alonso or Mel are less likely to talk to good journalists than to mou Getting the big interview might be everything in the entertainment world but getting the big story, or rather the truth of the big story is what makes good journalism. On that front I have far more faith in Dawes and Nickleson than talksport or the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any media outlet should be applauded for publishing factually incorrect information. They have not really forced the issue, they have forced someone to have to come out and defend themselves against their made up story, and in the meantime many fans have now decided this guy is a 'chancer' on the back of this story.

Spanish Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 3 hours ago, RoyMac5 said: Yes, but that's just 'incorrect' usage of words isn't it. How much would it cost the club to buy back the stadium and the mortgage on the Academy then? And if his funding is not a 'debt' how come he's having such problems selling the club? to buy back the ground? £80m the size of the loan which will be forgiven, straight swap. I mentioned this a few weeks back, I believe that accountancy practices changed last year whereby revaluation reserves were abandoned (subject to confirmation from a trained accountant) . Now whether the EFL would accept this arrangement is another matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem sensible to loan the club the club money, rather than inject more equity into something you've agreed to sell. no idea, none of us have seen the accounts, repayable funding has never been part of his MO but I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 2 hours ago, ollycutts1982 said: Brief overview of what was said. - Not true he’s pulling out, it’s going ahead - Not refinancing stadium, wants it put in his name so he can use it to buy players - If relegated he still wants it go through. Simon Jordan - — Erik Alonso has significant financial means - Switching debt from club to Alonso makes sense, it frees up cast to buy players - Doesn’t think there’s any worry, other than winning Saturday - If he was in Alonso’s position he would renegotiate if relegated, he agreed a price for a championship club not a league one. How does putting the stadium in his name but not refinancing it ensure he can buy players with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And paid that money to the club to cover cash shortfalls, so reducing the 80m debt due to the club no idea what the cashflow looks like, could have repaid all, some or none of the debt due Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
