This is the 3rd thread this story has appeared on since last night - all a bit strange they are a lender that has secured physical assets against a loan, they have no boardroom/team influence or club shares as security. they could theoretically force a sale of a player if loans were called in or payments lapsed, which does not given them control over a club, that would be of more interest from the prospect of gambling fraud if unusual patterns/markets developed - again not something the Dell family is interested in. Who else do you know is currently make 9%+ financial returns out of football (remembering that Dell is lending his own money, not money borrowed from anyone else)

it is the knock on effect of taking ownership, if you don't want a football team but want your money you sell, if a club were to lose an asset the board would be forced into raising funds to pay lenders by any means possible, including and most probably easiest is selling players, it's a slippery slope when you get to that point, a very slippery slope most don't crawl or hang on to.
