Well that's amazing but my point is that Tony and his associates would probably want that sum of money back , minimum .
With all due respect nobody is going to pay £33m for Rotherham United .
Patrick Cryne received £20m for our club , a championship club at least £12m in profit by comparison .
Animal, I doubt he wants to sell right now, and no one is suggesting our club would exchange hands for £33m. There is a bigger plan to utilise the current empty retail/business spaces that the stadium has, but this is being hindered by the lack of progress with the old Guest and Crimes building.
Also, nearby Forge Island is the subject of a multi million pound redevelopment project which will be a leisure and entertainment area, similar to Centertainment for example.
If that happens, it reshapes the town centre, putting the stadium and it's facilities right next door to where the action is. There is so much potential but not enough happening at the moment, but when it does happen, TS is sat on a gold mine.
BTW you might like to change that 'championship' comment 😜
He said he would sell but the deal wasn't all about the money , he would have to be convinced the deal was right for your club .
He stated that he lived in Rotherham and was aware that he any subsequent deal that was detrimental to the club would make his life uncomfortable .
He quoted the move to the DVS as an example of the stick he could receive .
Personally I think you should thank your lucky stars you have Tony Stewart .
At the time the club was sold we sat above the relegation zone , the transfer window was about to open with half the season to go .
What's occurred since is a tragedy and a shambles .
With a common sense approach we would have survived , a totally self inflicted puppet show mate .
It's going to get seriously toxic down there unless major change is forthcoming .
Animal I am forever grateful for what Tony Stewart has done for our club. I hope he carries on for many years yet.
I don't want our club to end up in the hands of some elusive foreign so called billionaire who doesn't give a toss about the club and who sees it as just another commodity that can be easily disposed of.
TS may not be the richest chairman around, but I do feel that he is genuine and cares about the club.
He's borrowed 20m to build the stadium. Not his money but he's the guarentor. The club generate enough to cover that loan through ticket sales.
He's put a lot of money into the club as interest free loans so the club owes him that.
He's paid for a shyte load of sponsorship which I pressume isn't a returnable sum. In fact his company will have got something back in the way of sales. That won't be counted.
On the back of that there are a couple of million worth of players as assets.
Selling up to the NFL I heard. The team will be The New York Yankers (or something like that)
