Is it "right" that MG walks away with £100m (pre tax) after 14 years as a director? Feel free to define "right" however you like.
Very much doubt we’ll be valued at the full £200m being reported.
Also think there will be a large chunk of that based retaining PL status this year certainly and probably next, in which case he wouldn’t get all that in one go and possibly not at all.
I think our approach to previous transfer windows (not just last summer) have been with this takeover in mind. I think MG has been fattening the turkey both in terms of cash pile and future player commitments to increase the clubs value.
That said, one thing we do have going for us from a new owners perspective is a fairly clean slate now - chance to clear the decks with so many OOC players and very few (if any?) commitments remaining, meaning they have free reign.
But I think we’ll see January signings if a takeover doesn’t goes through. They’ll know the value of their asset drops like a stone without PL status, so will surely want to try and preserve that or they could be stuck with the club for another 5 years?
