would be staggered if there wasn't a plan for him to acquire their shares

It's hardly game-changing money and if we actually needed £10m we could've flogged some players/taken a loan.

D&M don't need the hassle of bringing him onto the Board and taking his money just because Foulger wants to sell his shares.

I doubt any of this happens if there haven't been lengthy and reasonably detailed discussions on what happens when D&M decide to sell up/move on. Particularly if they want the guy to invest more (given it potentially increases the club value and cost of acquisition).

The options on the £10m are his escape route if it goes pear shaped in the next 7 years. But he's a savvy guy - he's not doing this without a clear roadmap and without hedging the risk that he invests his time/money and someone else reaps the rewards. I reckon there'll be an option agreement floating around behind the scenes and that whenever we next get promoted we'll see D&M departing.
