Valuing the club at c. £350 million? Where's that figure come from?

The Sky, in more ways than 1.

That seems slightly excessive as you mention. Perhaps it is referring to a total deal for all sharers nearer to £175m. Intent for total ownership?

Perhaps Woods agreed to keep his shares for a few years but with a gentlemans agreement to support Moshiri and then, rather than use money to buy Woods shares, Moshiri invests that into club improvements?

So £75 million cash injection into the club? Possible, I suppose.

I need someone smarter than me to sort this out.

Could it have something to do with no being able to own 50% or more until ratified by the PL.

Bill stays as Chairman

Don't mind that.

Leaves the business side to the billionaire business man.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

give it a year and he'll be the outright owner, he's keeping these two around, one probably out of sympathy, and two because he's never owned a club before. Once he's settled it'll be all him.

Only seen it from the Sky reporter so far.

No way. Some of that must be earmarked for team investment & stadium issue.

Great news after all this time a new owner / major shareholder, still can't believe it, bet there will be a few beers drank on here tonight. Also more importantly heal old wounds from a fractured fan base.

Will wait to see how this deal pans out before fully committing.

If I didnt have 3 kids I would be in town, right now, with 3 for 50s on speed dial.

Anybody that doesnt have kids and isnt in Angels or the Lisbon rar now is an utter kopite.

Look, to all you on here already moaning. Enjoy this it IS a good thing. Who is going to pay this sort of money and not invest to make them title contenders. Its brilliant news, get on the ale and enjoy the fact the giant is just rubbing its eyes after being asleep for a while. Thanks Uncle Bill to the doubters go to another forum FFS.

 

[The Esk]

just waiting for @The Esk 's rundown

Nothing much to say at the moment mate, just waiting for further details.

The positives: Earl - GONE, control of the club by the board (up to today anyway) - GONE

The barriers to further investment have been removed, that's the best start.

I said earlier today we would have evolution not revolution, that's exactly what we've got.
