Player Valuation: £150m
The debt situation as explained on another forum:
...based on the more reliable reports it might look like:
Pre-deal £450m Moshiri debt, £250m TFG, £210m A-Cap (ex 777), £200m RMF
Post deal £0 Moshiri (now TFG owned equity), TFG ?£100m? to be replaced by long-term secured debt vs stadium (rest converted to equity), A-Cap £200m with a payment schedule/potentially replaced by long-term secured debt v stadium, £200m RMF to be replaced by long-term secured debt v stadium
So potentially still a significant debt but consolidated with high quality lender(s) to TFG secured v the stadium and likely carrying interest rates c. 5% lower than at present easing the PSR burden as soon as in place. Correctly managed the debt burden should gradually reduce over time, particularly factoring in revenue growth at BMD.
In short: let's stop believing Santa Claus has just tipped up. That stadium is going to do an awful lot of lifting on behalf of TFG.
Are we more stable with this deal? Yes, unquestionably.
Has it relieved us of all liabilities so we can go on a spending spree? Has it bollocks.
Time for the giddiness to stop and a reality check.
