With the £100m investment comes.......interest.

Wed May 09, 2012 9:57 am

With this £100m investment comes a big question.

What about the interest? At the the end of the day the Malaysians are business people, if they invest money into a business they want a return. The information coming out isn't clear about the investment, over how many years do they want to see the return? Although they clear the Langston debt, does this £100m become a club controlled debt?

All questions hopefully to be answered soon enough. But I hope and pray this investment does not come at the expense of the clubs identity, I hope the Malaysians see what they plan to do with the colour change etc is not what's best for the club.

Time will tell.

I agree, they are not just giving us 100 mil, they will rightly so want a return on their investment and at what stage would they went this??? If things Dont go to plan for them, they could pull the plug anytime and then that would be the end of it. With s whopping debt plus interest... Im still baffled behind the idea.. Just a couple of million would Av done it in January. Its on the field that will get us promoted not merchandise sales in the far east.... Imagine how souless the stadium would be with over 15000 empty seats in it....

Exactly, as you can see on here a lot of fans on here disagree with the idea. Not sure how many will stay away in protest but you will see the difference next season. They may sell more shirts over in Malaysia but over here you'll lose the heart and soul of the club here in Wales. I don't think they realise what they're actually doing with this idea, hopefully they see the reaction and see sense.

Bluebirds, no matter what.

An investment is a loan if its secured against a return, which it will be.

Yes i know, but if you invest in a business you want a return. You can honestly believe they're going to invest £100m and not wanting their money back at some point. They want to make a profit out of it all at the end of the day. It's a great investment but not at the expense of the clubs identity.

The trust statement said its a investment and swap for equity. Meaning we will have no debt at all. In theory though they can recoup money and profit from our income.
