No one has said what happens when "we" have paid the NYS debt off. Is this what TS is going to "invest"? Or maybe TS & family get their inheritance boosted? Who says buying a club doesn't pay?

As for buying shares at £1000, if TS agreed, this is very dodgy. I, with 57 others, put £1000 into the New Stand at Millmoor. D Coleman just ignored them when he took over, which was his right apparently. Would these shares be different and sound financially?
Shares in RU estates who own the ground would be a better investment....lol

You can check the financials and see what rent has been paid since 2009. It’s clear what ‘happens’ when the loan has been paid. If RUFC remain a sustainable business and continue to pay rent, RU Estates will own the stadium. Maybe they’ll take another loan out and revamp/expand the stadium. It’s good business.

I’ve repeatedly said it from day one. Tony didn’t pick up the phone and ask to take over the club. He supports, or did, another local club. He was approached.

I’ve never thought for one minute he did it for the love of the club. He did it to make money.

As things stand he’s put in his time, expertise and money. That’s helped the football club enjoy one of the best periods in it’s history. We’re there plenty of sweeteners and could there be a massive windfall for the Stewart’s? Yep, probably.

What’s not to like on the footballing side if you think back 15 years? Quite a lot if you read social media or this messageboard.
