Its 2 years too late I am afraid.

These rallying calls should have been 2 years ago not wen we are about to get relegated.

There were racist and other vile comments on social media sites and even death threats towards Vincent Tan and his family members at that time.

I did call for calm and I will do exactly the same thing again today if such instances happen again, they were disgusting and not what I would ever want to be associated with even if it is through my sharing of support of the same football team.

Instead of all moaning just come and join us v Liverpool " A peaceful demonstration " :thumbup: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Apart from a few though who went on TV against him ie TLG we did roll over because these protests should have been happening at the announcment not appealing for calm.

If everyone is honest with themselves we had 3 years of being so close and heartbreak and with the Jacks already up in the PL we wanted a piece of it.

Read my article and any of my previous posts and you will see that for me it was about a debt free club not premier league football.

I have not change my stance on that and I took Tans pledge of changing debt to equity on face value at the time and today he is apparently suggesting that he may not convert his loans into shares, if that is the case I would never have accepted, reluctantly or not, the rebranding.

Cmon Carl if everyones totally honest, myself included, we were easily swayed with the 100m investment and are using his recent comments about debt to equity as a get out card for going with it.

Why does it matter to you whether Tan converts his debt to equity. It doesn't matter one iota. He either sells ccfc for £1 and the buyer has to pay back £80 million to Tan, or he converts his debt to equity and the buyer pays £80,000,001. What's the difference?

Because the club isnt worth 80m

Okay. So the club isn't worth £80 million. Let's say it's worth a £1. Who's going to buy it when they will owe £80 million to Tan?

No one of sane mind

Lets simplify this. Would you pay 8k for a 4k car?

No you wouldnt.

No matter what you pay for the club. It's a club with an £80 million debt. Or it's a club with no debt that Tan will want £80 million for.
There is no difference if he converts debt to equity.

A bank are less likely to service the debt on behalf of prosoective buyer as the club is worth less than the debt.

same as a bank wouldnt give you 800k to buy a house thats only worth 400k

Established premier league *at time of sale* Fulham in the middle of one if the most affluent areas in the country and with more saleable assests and less debt than us you mean?

I agree that a bank is less likely to service the debt. That's why a buyer would have to pay Tan his £80 million loan or £80 million for his shares if he converts to equity. There is no difference to a prospective buyer
