well as mr c owns the swfc and the ground,he can sell to whoever as long as they fit th FA rules,does he have Italian football conections as that would be usefull?

the other question does this get us out of our problems with the FA that are ongoing?

He was the Fiorentina owner untill last year.

Cant see that changing owners will make the EFL charges go away,otherwise everyone would overspend and pull the same stunt

Rumour doing the rounds on the usual places that DC is in talks with an Italian businessman to sell the club.

Chansiri has had interest before but his asking price has been the deterent,hes rumoured to want £135M for the club ,to date offers have fell WELL short.

If the rumours are correct,talks are at an advanced stage with DC informing the EFL and an exclusivity bond already lodged,so the prospective owner is already under EFL scruitiny for fit and proper person,so news should hit the press in the comming days if theres any substance to the story.

Why is Wednesday worth one penny more than the £37m he paid for it? DC might have chucked further millions at it but what value has he added? He probably paid too much for it anyway.

The playing surface is much improved and we've a few players that are saleable. Neither of those were true when Chansiri took over.

 

I imagine that average gates have gone up too, as well as season ticket sales.

 

So, yes, the club is worth a bit more, but not £100 000 000 more.

[abbeyedges]

So he paid £37million for the club.

 

But since then he's bought the ground for £80 million.

 

So is that included in the price?

I would think buying the ground and club now stands him at about 120 million,plus hes lost millions on players,so that = say the £135 million asking price,BUT it all depends whats out there for sale,the ground needs millions to bring it up to date,the team needs a re-build and we need a top man = 200 million,although I love swfc I think that = over priced

 Is there anywhere in the clubs deeds saying Hillsborough will always be home of SWFC, or as sole owner does DC have to sell it as a going concern ( a football club) or could we finish up with a supermarket or housing estate.

I'm not stating this as some sort of joke. 

 

Always said that it would be probably cheaper to knock Hillsborough down & rebuild somewhere else.  Possible now that your Chairman owns the ground & the land it stands on. 

 

Prime location for the ubiquitous 'luxury' apartments with the Hillsborough Park being so close & you wouldn't be the first club to move, there's been plenty of big clubs in the Premiership who have gone down this route, many of who were / are more financially stable than SWFC. 

 

Clearly you're already thinking along those lines?

 Exactly the reason i put it on. He owns everything , thats why i asked  the question whats it say in the deeds i cannot find anything on if an owner wants to sell.

Having money might be good for Mr Chansiri,but having no knowledge how to run a football club as not help him with is ambitions,Priced alot of fans out of going to watch The Owls,and the atmosphere at games as not been how it use to be,hope we do get someone new in knows how to run the club correctly,as these loyals fans deserve to seeing this club in the Premiership

 

Not really though, eh?, all that football fans of any football club deserve is that they buy tickets and in return, the players should give 100%.

 

You don't get into the top flight because fans "deserve it", you get there on merit, by having a team that gets promoted.

So how do you work that out?, do you think that 60 million pounds actually changed hands when Chancer sold the club to himself? I thought it was common knowledge on how the deal was structured, part of which is the reason that the EFL took a close look at the submitted accounts and saw glaring holes.

Don't know all the ins and out but surely however he did it he still had to pay the club the 60 million so still out of pocket
