To be clear, MSP (whilst being a preferable option to 777) are not a magic bullet. They're an investment vehicle and their sole objective in buying us is a return for the investors. They see us as an opportunity given the stadium to dramatically increase revenues. That's all well and good, but there's really only two main objectives of an investment like this - income or capital growth or a combination of the two. If it's the former then MSP investors would potentially be receiving a dividend which comes out of any growth in our commercial revenues and that would affect our ability to reinvest back into the team. If it's capital growth (which is hugely preferable), they'll be here a few years while they turn us around, grow our revenue base and then sell us at a profit. There's no benevolence here, they aren't going to be buying us as a community asset or anything, they want to buy us and make money out of us.
The club itself is worth literally nothing as things stand given the debt levels. The one and only attractive asset is the stadium and the potentially transformative revenues it has the potential to generate. You either need a benefactor type who wants the asset for a trophy or political purposes, or you need an investor who's going to get the club into the shape it needs to be for its own future.
