Gritstone Tup Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 4 hours ago, RAM1966 said: I'm amazed that Kirchner is considering buying the club with its debt without thr ground as part of the package. The club is not worth £30m+ without the stadium.... Maybe Kirchner will buy the ground on a mortgage after the deal is done, maybe his proved funds before would not be sufficient to pass the business plan including it with the initial purpose and he will do that later - Its a theory of course. Ive seen some posting that buying the ground with the club would mean a cash outlay of £50-55m, then acknowledging the club is not worth that. I'd argue that its a terrible deal not to buy an asset valued at £81.1M even if its worth less, Id estimate at least £60m to rebuild so a reasonable assumption, its worth at least that. it makes no sense to buy the club and pass up the opportunity to buy the ground for £25M, it does not make business sense.... Owners come and go, so come sale time, if we still do not own theground, it will massively reduce the value of the club.... Maybe Kirchner see this as a speculative punt and therefore happy not to own the club, if he goes down the same route as Morris? I hope I'm stressing about nothing though and we are all celebrating on Saturday.... Its certainly going to be an interesting couple of days.... Do we know if he’s agreed a figure with HMRC or Mel Morris for rent/buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 3 hours ago, FindernRam said: The issue of Council funding for PP (no matter where they get those funds from is interesting. PP gets an attendance of over 500,000 people per year. This is far greater than the Velodrome, Moorways, and other Council subsidised entertainment facities put together, so in terms of value for money it ought to be a no-brainer. BUT: Public perception is that Swimming pools ,museums, athletic tracks, golf courses etc, should be owned by the people via the council. Football at professional level is awash with cash so no public funding should be spent. Further, football has a fairly bad reputation to non-fans, fights, vandalism, drunkenness, traffic and parking issues. City based fans make up far less than 10% of the population and for the 90+% the fate of DCFC is fairly unimportant. This puts the council in quite a bind when it comes to PP funding. My non footy friends have pretty much the same reaction if the club folds-bit of a shame due to the history but never mind life goes on! I'm under the impression... rightly or wrongly... that indeed, no public funding would (need to) be spent? Income from rent/rates etc should more than cover any loan repayments, and any subsequent sale would be at considerable profit, due to the (current) bargain asking price. I've seen the phrase "Win-Win" a few times, in these discussions. I'm not convinced the voting public need to concern themselves on this particular matter? ?♂️ Indy, jono, r_wilcockson and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In pure terms you are probably correct, but Mr Joe Public wont understand the intricacies of capital financing (neither do I if I'm honest), so will assume his rates will cover it. Under those circumstances I dont think the support will be there. "Why am I paying for a load of overpaid lads to kick a ball about?". But in a fit of unusual optimism I think it will get sorted out before next season. jono, David Graham Brown and Mucker1884 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
