Other board said a week or two ago that there was big positive news coming in the summer and they hate tan in the main so maybe there is something in the offing - be surprised as I'm sure we would have heard some fairly solid whispers at this stage ??
I'm not sure I want tan to go I just want him to shape up and have a plan for once
I you ask them they'll probably say Sam's coming back.Originally Posted by Nobody's Rep
Yes hinting at that, more suggesting a Dalman-type consortium as Tan has said he would never sell to Sam.
But know he won't go, he wants to try and sell as a Premier League club, but can't see that ever happening again under him, he'll never get the right set up.
Just remembered also implying that's the reason for no contract extension for Bulut, new owner would want their own man, sounded like bullshit for sure though, and would rule out Dalman as Bulut was his man.
As no-one seems to know Tan's motive for payrolling, and at great expense, a Championship club that has been nowhere near the Premier League for several seasons, it's impossible to know if he has any motive for continuing, especially as he isn't really a football fan.
He wants to recoup his money doesn't he, no chance unless he gets the right people at the top that understand football.
Is that really the calculation? What is the going rate for a mediochre Championship team while he loses a million a month (or whatever the figure might be)?
It probably depends if we win the case against Nantes. Having said that if we win big time I can see Tan suing the EFL and FIFA over their peremptory sanctions against the club which must have had significant consequential affect in the club’s quest to reach the Playoffs.
Whichever way it plays out I cannot see Sam who loves the club Hammam giving up his kebab stall in downtown Beirut to raise the £200 million Tan wants.
Incidentally where does this nonsense, mainly on the other board, about Sam being a football man come from?. I remember the night at Cwmaman Institute when Sam introduced his “ own special signing “ none other than Leon Jeanne and we know where he ended up!!
I read a book by Kiaran McGuire the football finace expert. There was a chapter valuing football clubs. Admittedly there are several ways to value a football club but the most basic is turnover x 1.5. Our turnover in the last accounts was £24m therefore 24 x 1.5 = £36m
I recall a long time ago when he first took over he was asked if he might sell and he said it wouldn't happen because his daughters had told him if he did they'd never speak to him again.
After 13 rudderless years with no plan that’s probably unlikely
Don't be taken in by it. It is typical of him to make a dramatic but totally vague and non specific statement as he has done so that if something does happen such as Tan selling up, us winning the case against Nantes, Dalman resigning, the badge changing, a marquee signing, the sacking of Darren Purse etc he can point to his prediction and proclaim his all knowing status.
