He would near enough walk away with an initial 40million and then have to pay it straight to Dalman.
Strange twist that Dalman is now the sticking point.
I disagree , that’s Tans fault for borrowing and has moved the goal

They won’t budge and nor would I take Dalmans debt on.
Looks like we are currently stuck with Tan, expect more players to leave.
Tan / Dalman not spoke for 6 weeks.
The last 3 years Dalman’s money been paying the losses.

So what is the difference from 2010, when you and Carl were very vocal in insisting that Tan should pay off the Langstone debt
and now insisting that Tan should pay off the Dalman debt.
Although I hope he does so we are free of him.

Cheque mate type move if the fanbase had stuck together.
As Goutas alluded to and there is a lack of fight on and off the field. Tan should have been forced out years ago
So disappointing tbh.

The sale of the club is a massive deal full stop.They are hardly going to leak all the sensitive material out to the public.Unless somebody knows someone who is actually involved,then it's all speculation.Also that person would have to face the music!!

All I asked was for some clarity on the difference between the two debt payments — I wasn’t expecting such a childish reply. As for your comment about me needing to "make my mind up" on Tan, perhaps you could point out where I’ve ever claimed to be a Tan supporter? Like many others on here, I’ve never forgiven him for the colour change. That said, unlike you, I don’t feel the need to bring it up in every single post.
On another note, you keep stating that Tan bought the club for £6 million, but then also say he paid a further £24 million to Sam. Doesn’t that mean he actually paid £30 million? Or are we now counting selectively?
If you're unable to provide a sensible answer, I’d prefer if you simply didn’t reply. You seem to assume anyone who challenges your view is a Tan lover, and in doing so, your arguments are beginning to lose clarity.

Could this not be covered by giving dalman say 10% of the shares in the new company - which could be worth £40-50m when club is in EPL

I spoke to Annis earlier Paul and said the exact same thing.
I think Dalman reducing the debt owed to him but being involved in the new regime is a real possibility.
Dalman is an intelligent and pragmatic man who understands the UK market (unlike Tan), he knows that his loan will have more worth if the club is higher up the pyramid - even if the figure of his loan is reduced.

So the potentially New Owners:
Ned and Paul,
First to be fair to them they flew to see Dalman in Monaco.
Apparently went to see him and ask him about the £38Mill.
I have been told they want like Tan has had such a majority of our Club that virtually they are the outright owners and answer to NO one.
Look I have hundreds of thousands of shares and thanks to Tan he he has devalued mine incredibly like others who bought shares.
I don’t believe they would give Dalman 10%.
Don’t forget they Weill ge spending over £100mill total is up two leagues.
