Player Valuation: £100m
I wouldn't call the sales of Cannon and Simms and Nkunkou 'Serious capital' myself, Cannon-£8.8, Simms-£7m and Nkounkou-£2m, each to their own though.
Gordon for £40m was though.

Yes and that is more what we should be doing, we are too much of a soft touch when it comes to signings and sales, other clubs see us coming a mile off. Don't forget also when he was linked with Chelsea it was for more than £40m and we said no so lost out.Gordon for £40m was though.

I thought it was more to do with them wanting to stretch the deal out and drip feed money which meant we were only going to get £15-20m upfront and we wanted/needed more. I can't remember tbh.Again, I don’t think Chelsea ever actually bid mate. We 100% would’ve sold if they bid more than that.

Feds probe sports investor 777 over money flows | Semafor
Prosecutors in New York and Miami are jointly probing the firm’s sprawling web of investments, people familiar with the matter said.www.semafor.com
Roh oh.
An investigation by SDNY will kill a deal in a hurry. Administration would become a virtual certainty if they turn up anything and 777 owns us. No one wants that. It's bad for us, it's bad for the value of other clubs, and it's bad for the Prem brand.Can see this falling through tbh.

They don't have any money, they manage assets on behalf of 3rd party investors. They aren't very good at it from what I can see.A lot of the stories about the 777 takeover saying that they are asking anybody with money to spare and who we have loans with if they would like to jump on board and be part of the takeover. It makes me wonder if they have any of their own money to invest and that they just want to get control of us knowing that if we stay in the premier league there will be a lot of income from tv and advertising that they can take out for some of their other businesses.
At least the FA fit and proper owner test is there to save us from being taken over by people who could ruin us!!!!
