I tried looking for Omar Mir's net worth using Meta & Google AI, but no cigar

From the King's Trust website: "Omar brings a values-led perspective, shaped by a distinguished British–African heritage founded upon service, stewardship, and responsibility. Descended from a family that made enduring contributions to Kenya’s development in the years preceding independence across vital sectors including the railway infrastructure and the armed forces..."

Sounds like a mix of old and new money to me.
Another way of looking at admin is this same group could buy us outright for far less than they say they're intending to invest.

Wonder why they didn't wait.
The proof of funds would have been with Omar Mir rather than Sloane Street. I'm not sure how wealthy Mr Mir is, he seems to have ties to UAE AI ventures so possible his wealth comes from the Gulf states. Being a board exec or board consultant, advisor etc, I assume doesnt make someone mega rich?

Hammam backed Bassett. The 125k for Fashanu was the largest but not the only cash that Hammam put in on our way to Division One.

Yes they specifically stated the company was formed only for this investment so no reason to expect a hostory. There is always a question as to whether Mr Mir can pay up for the 5 years but the 16 million kicks the can a fair way down the road. I'd hope that is in the equivalent of escrow before we sign anything.

The alternative seems to be going into admin in the spring and then anyone could buy us
There was some mention of betting firms, last night. Bet that didn't go down too well with some people.

Who put the 125k in for fashanu?

Agree it was down to Bassett, but a successful period as owner for sam
A quick interrogation suggests that the Sloane Street was created for this purpose and the money itself is down to Mr Mir alone. No judgment on that either way just saying what I believe to be the case.

As for Silk’s “tread carefully” advice I don’t disagree but similar to any owner/investor trying to persuade fans to let them in you really don’t have much leeway to tread carefully - in this case we can ask all the questions we want but they’re under no obligation to answer truthfully or to stick to their word after they’re in. We just have to move forwards or not.
Interestingly Omar Mir is a consultant to General Atlantic which is an American investment company and is deemed as being extremely solvent. The wonder is whether there is a link. There is no reported link btw but may be something to think about.

Is this where the money to us can be guaranteed?
Thank you. Will have a closer look.

The biggest worry for me is that Sloane Street is a new company so has pretty much no data on the Companies House website. There is no proof that they can meet the financial obligations they are promising through past history. I think we should be treading VERY carefully with this proposal.

Having looked at the proposals, the easiest way to look at it is that SSC will 'rent' our assets. They intend to improve them in such a way that there is a lot of additional income. Some of this is channelled to further asset improvement, some towards boosting playing budget and some (if SSC's model is successful) back to SSC. If there is no other plan to consider, DT members would be foolish to turn it down.

Mind you Sam Hammam was very impressive with his plans when he pitched upo at PL!
Omar Mir is an anagram of "A Mirror"* so maybe it's time to take a good hard look at ourselves.

*you do need to add another r but I think that's generally accepted with anagrams
On a quick scan I don't see whether current plc shares get exchanged for ones in the new holding company or whether they stay in the plc. If the latter, who owns the remaining 66% of the new holding company?
