It wouldn't surprise me if they start waving to us on the way up just like Wrexham.

Several usa consortiums in pipeline in div1 & 2 could be a lucrative investment if done right?

Tan owed too much for him to sell while in the lower leagues.

Unless some deal can be down at a discounted price and a lump sum paid to him if we make Prem in 5 years.

My thoughts were the same sell with built in payments as & when success comes... certainly won't get it in a lump sum
