no, of course it doesn't, just like York didn't fail with Douglas Craig in charge

If he gets control of the club, he can do what he wants with it, meaning he can sell off and pocket what he likes

So in that sense, if he wants it, he needs to stump up what it's worth, not this treasure chest he keeps making out it is
