Waffer Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 40% is well enough for a take over....just look at the voting figures at the last agm, infact 30% is enough. I hope its better than his mate with 100 million who was interested, and if he could not convince his mate dont hold your breath. But on saying that, i am sure casino people know casino people, so i am not sure if that is a good thing or not ? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 We've yet to find out what will happen if and when Abramovich gets bored of football ... something tells me that all this money he "gave" to the club will turn out to be repayable, if he should ever decide to bugger off. In a rare interview on TV Abramovich said he wanted to pass Chelsea on to his son as a legacy, as his son looked about 12 years old I think he will be around for a while yet. A good sign is that he goes to all the games, he shows emotion during the game and he visits the players in the changing room after the game, the bad thing is Chelsea have reported losses of 140 million this year and don’t expect to break even until 2010. As you say what will happen if he walks away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffer Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Malky......the secured answer was the quick answer......Strange this but when one of the directors answered the question, the answer was this (as far as i can remember).... the money is already there put to one side in an holding fund.....remember, all these deals will be over a number of years in installments........for instance the deal with akinbadbye.... the £750,000 is reported to be about the same amount that united owe.

Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEKRO138 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 You’re not though are you!! Not saying that cos I’m a blade but Wigan and Reading have FAR more potential than Wednesday!! Training grounds for starters, and a very very well establish youth teams and academy.. it ok them putting paying off 80% of your debts but you need route foundations to even start thinking about premiership or playoffs All of those things would be helped by investment. We have fans at least. Wigan's current situation is a joke. Money to spend, premeirship status, no fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money to spend, premeirship status, no fans. Well ... it SHOULD be a joke. The sad fact is, nowadays, you don't need fans. Fans don't contribute all that much money to the overall coffers. In fact, given an Abramovich-type, a club's probably better off without them. Sorry state of affairs, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
