“Vincent Tan owns the football club and whether the money is debt or equity in reality makes very little difference.

“Cosmetically, I would rather see it in equity because it makes the balance sheet stronger and it is our stated aim to improve the balance sheet.

“As and when the Langston issue is cleared up the next thing to look at is how we then start strengthening the balance sheet by completing some of those conversions.

“If Sam Hammam wants the club to be debt free why doesn’t he turn the loan notes into equity? We could look at that if he wants to.

For once I agree with you AM. I thought this question was nailed on to be asked especially when you consider what TG said at the last AGM.

Excatly Tone, if it was a fans meeting then I can understand why the question may hae been missed out but not a shareholders meeting surely.

The post which I read earlier and seems is now missing, made it clear that the debt to equity was definitely discussed and that TG made it clear that it was reliant on Sam/Langston accepting an offer!

But then the brightest ones of us already knew this would be the case didn't we? :?
