Vincent Tan Should Be Happy

Tue Dec 08, 2009 10:08 pm

Nicely placed team to push on in the New Year and provide an instant profit when we go up. :lol:

On the flip side, anyone think Sam will hold out a bit longer, for a bit more cash? ;)

I got a feeling Sam won't Sam either. He will feel he is getting shafted like before so will hold on to the last grasp.

Have we had a breakdown to prove the debt to Langston is as high as mentioned? Always confused me that it got so high and have never seen proof that it was the figure mentioned.

When Ridsdale and Co. took over in 2007 they accepted the club had a debt of £15m capital and £9m naming rights to Langston. I presume they did their own due diligence beforehand.

Therefore it doesn't matter how the original £24m was spent the club have an unsecured liability for that amount to Langston, unless it is amended by the new agreement.

That said, I would have to give Sam great credit if he signs away that much money even if he is being threatened with pennies from administration.

With investment on the horizon no wonder SH is a bit peeved at being asked to take a cut knowing full well the current incumbents are going to make a packet.

Perhaps SH should meet up with Vincent Tan, perhaps Sam would write off more debt if he was involved in a little coup to oust the regime. ;)

Sam is owed at least £20m at the moment. Perhaps more.

It's not Sam's fault that Ridsdale has just let the debt grow and grow over his tenure here the past 4-5 years. That's Ridsdale's fault.

Owain is right - Ridsdale has come here paying nothing into the club, and could well walk away having made £5m+ profit (looking at wages, bonuses, 'on the cheap' shares etc) - and his friends who he's employed will have made good wages too. Then Ridsdale is going around moaning about Sam, blaming everything on him, refusing to give him a place on the board, and asking him to take a 50% cut in the money owed to him.

I'm not a Sam fan, but you must realise that the current situation is Ridsdale's fault, not Sam's.

If I was Sam I certainly would never consider writing off 50% off my debt, especially after the way Ridsdale has been acting.

Like everything, the answer usually lies somewhere in the middle and both will have to compromise. PR "and his cronies" took their risk and deserve a slice for driving on in the face of difficulties. Risk-Return: that's just business..

I AGREE they both have to compromise.

If they are to compromise then what will it mean for the club. I hate to say it but I can't see that compromise is the best thing for the club. I don't blame Hammam for doing what he's doing but personally I hate it. For the benefit of the club I just want this sorted and Hammam to move on. That seems very unlikely to happen in the near future and I can see Hammam's name being linked with us in some shape or form for the foreseeable future.

Still, let's focus on what's occurring on the pitch because that future is much brighter.
