We finally get some good news and our Baz wants us investigating. Sooner this guy fucks off the better. Biggest card of them all. Any bandwagon for a bit of publicity. No a care for the people of the town or the supporters. With all the shit things he could take on as a cause he wants to mess up his local club. I don’t think anyone listens to him now. |

Interesting from the football finance guy interviewed on WYS on Radio Leeds last night. Basically he was saying that Championship clubs are cheap compared to buying a PL club... £40 million say is an absolute steal. It's all a gamble for some of these owners. With the chances of getting promoted from the Championship standing at 1:8, if you do make it to the promised land the idea is to sell straight away and make a massive profit on your investment. However, I'm not quite sure I can think of an example of this. And... Alan Nixon did say that our new owners, besides having a fair wedge, are footballing people.
I'm not sure what to make of the takeover at the moment, but I'm sure all will become clear. One thing is that the days of the owner/fan at this level are finished.

Aren’t those countries Central American? North America is just North America (52 states?) and Canada is a completely separate country. No, that's not my understanding. But then the Yanks will have you believe they are the only thing that matters. Let's find out..... There are many according to Wiki (many more than I had anticipated). It extends to Panama. WAY better link than the one I put up about two pages back. As I replied to nicovaesen I'm sure at school we were taught that Central America (Panama, Cuba, etc) were classed as South America. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but so many things have changed since the 80s you just can't tell. |

My understanding is the Americas is made up of North America, Central, South and the Caribbean with merely North Anerica being Canada and the USA. |

Central Murica is part of the North American continent along with the Caribbean. In general chat I would agree that when someone says North America they mean Canada, the US and Mexico.

I'm not sure what to make of the takeover at the moment, but I'm sure all will become clear. One thing is that the days of the owner/fan at this level are finished.Certainly seems that way. I don't see any opportunity to make money, its impossible. If you get promoted, and its a big if, you'd have had to spend tens of millions getting there, it might cost you £10M per season just to tread water. I then dont see how there can be any profit since a club like Town is never going to be worth enough to make a profit on the sale. Even if its worth £100M which it probably never would be. Then when you do get there all of your TV money is taken by players and agents and that's if you want to struggle. If you want to prosper you need to overspend by tens of millions. I guess you may be able to turn a small profit being a very well run yoyo club but even that wont last for ever. I guess if the club can get their hands on the surrounding land and develop it, then that's a proper business and would potentially make money and become a real asset as opposed to a liability. For a billionaire though, who likes sport, the chance to own a PL club or a traditional club with a great, unique history and make a real success of it, must be very attractive. It's basically a train set for the super rich. Surely that's what most football clubs are these days? I guess depth of pockets and levels of ambition are key and hopefully no ulteria motives other than ultimately success on the pitch. When you look at the stadium, training ground, the unique history, recent PL club status and possibly the chance to develop the surrounding land then maybe it's a very attractive train set. |

We are still a championship club, but I were buying Town I would be valuing them as a League 1 club because of the position we are in. I did not hear the show but I would guess that the value will depend on what assets the club own. We don't own the stadium that apparently needs £9M spending on it, which I am sure a purchaser would take in to consideration. We do own our training facilities but not the ground. I assume that Dean has agreed a separate deal for this with the new owners. It has been said that we are in need of a cash injection of around £5M a year to keep afloat with a budget that gets us to the bottom of the league. a New owner has a lot of things to take in to account and if he has any ambition he will have to invest heavily on top of everything else, so it is not too surprising that to get to step away from digging deep each year Dean had to write of his debts. |

Sounds like the stadium might be available on the cheap which might be attractive. The £9M quoted for maintenance cant be right, that's a staggeringly large amount of cash. Perhaps £9M is the figure needed to make it a proper going concern, including expansion to improve revenue. Its a bit tired in places but no way does it need £9M of maintenance, unless maybe the council were in charge of the tender! |

Perhaps the new ‘potential’ owners are some sort of hedge fund. With DH funding till the end of the season they are thinking - if this club stays up they are only one step from PL so we could sell to someone who is prepared to gamble on this and we could make a nice little profit. If they godown put the club in Administration, cut out losses. Get out

A mate of mine and Essex Terrier has heard a rumour from a source who was once interested in investing in Town & knows this guy from his time at Derby, that a Canadian chap called Jeff Mallett is the guy that's in the frame. Said to be worth around £500m en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Mallett |

The only Vancouver Whitecaps rumour I can recall is a handful of people struggling to distinguish them from Vancouver FC (Sixfive Sports). It would be a notable moment in DATM history should it turn out they've inadvertently nailed it! |
