Let’s pull an approximate figure out and say Tony values the club at £30 Million.
Why then won’t he let someone get onboard with him and invest for £10 Million or 33.3% of the shares? There have been at least four offers for the club in total, I know this because he told me himself.
Why the closed shop? Does he fear a total eventual takeover letting others in? Is he making more than what’s disclosed by owning the club therefore having no reason to sell up?
So long as he’s financially happy with the day to day running of the club is that it? Do we take it on the chin another season where we will always yo yo from season to season?
