Where do such things get advertised? In the Classified Ads section of Millionaire Monthly, alongside the yachts and call girls? |
Are the call girls worth investing in? I don't fancy throwing my money into the football club. |  | | |

If the asking price and the offer had got that close then surely a deal would have been done? It's pennies in the grand scheme of things. |
Right. | | | |

That was certainly my thought process as well, only passing on what I was aware of, it could well be as indicated by Elder Grizzly that there were other parts to the deal ME wasn't happy with. | | | |

At this rate he might as well sell it for £1, he's pumping £8m a year of his own money in and who in their right mind can see us gaining promotion within the next five years? So there's another £40m... |  | | |

You make a fair point, although who in their right mind would invest money into a football club with average attendances of 14000? It hasn't done Birmingham much good so far and Hull aren't far behind them. | | | |

That's where we're stuck, forever, we're best going down and trying to get back support by doing really well in League One with the good youngsters we have, a young fresh Manager, fans would return if the style of play was good and promotion in any league brings excitement which has disappeared totally...
Yes we may be stuck in League One, but what's the alternative? Keep bobbing along boringly as we are? | | | |

Once again I agree with your point, but I live in hope that we could try this idea at least one season in the Championship. | | | |

Not the stadium? Think that was valued at £10m. |
The club don't own the stadium. |  |

Ahhh, thanks. The land is leased isnt it, and the stadium is now an ACV.

You have to hope the club is up for sale, as its one of the few avenues out of the current malaise. But as other have said, finding someone willing to ring-fence funds to cover a £6-8m annual loss, plus fund player purchases to compete with say...Wolves (£35m bid WTF!), you're talking a finite few oligarchs.
Anyway; hypothetically say we are sold for £25m, and MEG debt is written off. What happens in our accounts. Is that write-off shown, and overnight our £89m debt is wiped, does the new owner keep the £89m in the books despite paying £25m (ala MEG)?
Interested to know whether, if such a sale was to occur, whether Ipswich gets a clean slate, debt wise? |  | | |

The amount of debt left over will be part of the sale agreement, completely negotiable. If anyone wants it. If no-one is interested in a deal, and Evans gets bored, it's end of club. |  |

I think Evans would take £25m, with a bonus thrown in if the club gets into the PL in the next few years. Not sure anyone will pay that as crowds continue to decline, but you never know. Evans also might drop his price if someone seemed serious. But we're speculating.
The last estimate showed Town's wage bill as 18th highest in the league & total revenue 16th. Pretty much every club is losing money. Those who want us to kick out Mick & try an unproven manager should know the risk we would be taking. |
And what is the risk in keeping him | | | |

Mick won't take us down. The downside of keeping him is that the style of football won't be pretty & crowds will continue to decline unless ticket prices are reduced. |  |

Agree the last point, although don’t think reducing the price would make any difference to the decline if MM stays. Whilst you would believe that the points in the bag indicate your first sentence is correct, our form suggests otherwise. But I suspect we will finish lower than last season but above the relegation zone. | | | |
