It's good to get £12m

It's bad to get it in return for selling your club to a little known bloke with an aura of dodginess, who not only will have complete control over the club and what it does with its money, but will also be the person to whom over 90%+ of the club's debts are owed. That is a toxic combination if he's a bad egg.

        except the bank wouldn't also owe him £32m (Other Football) - blindasabat, Dec 3, 17:52:23
        
        Well if we got promoted.. (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:58:33

        That's true.. (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:25:46
        
        Surely that £12M will have to cover current running losses (Other Football) - CB41, Dec 3, 17:16:03
        
        Hopefully we're not going for that sort of player.. (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:21:39

        You could have 4 Carl Robinsons for 200k (n/m) (Other Football) - Brom, Dec 3, 17:34:03
        
        Now THAT would be a good midfield! (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:36:34
        
        You'd need 8 Carl Robinsons to have any sort of midfield at all (n/m) (Other Football) - Old Git, Dec 3, 17:38:42
        
        I'm no ITFC expert, but doesn't "exactly the same situation" = "shit creek, no paddle" ? (n/m) (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Dec 3, 17:14:41
