This is basically what I was hoping for, let them take the rewards if their investment propels us upwards, but have the safeguards in place if it goes wrong. Questions should focus on the safeguards but this looks like a very nice model on paper.

Yeah can’t see JJ or CC featuring in the future scenario.

Probably not Wally either mate just to manage expectations:-)
And the downside(s) is/are?

Q&A starting,let's hope some of our knobheads dont piss off the investors.

Can't see us ever getting such a deal again. Bring back Wally
Safe to say that despite 10 goals shipped and 1 scored, the misery of the last 110 days or so got a tad bit better...

It's like a Barcelona-esque president model. Put the money in and you control footballing side, dont and you lose it again.

Yes other than a cosy pay off for some on the board this should limit future DTB nonsense somewhat.

Changes the role and purpose of the Trust - until such time as it's needed to try and take us on/save us.
Unbelievable that a bunch of fans went from nothing to a business worth £100m (£87m for 90%) in just over 20 years

DT won’t get to do anything with it as far as I understand as although they pay us £16m at he start they then have full autonomy to do as they please. It’s a bit like Jim Ratcliffe at United to my mind.

Ridiculous amount of cash – you have to suspect that it's window dressing and the reality will be less.

Most of the investment will be on the footballing side and SSC will control that. DTB are more of an oversight body with safeguards which is really the best scenario we could hope for.

So it only took the DTB 6 months to do this? :-)

I'm all for it in principle but will withhold my vote until wise people have asked their questions to stress test this.
OI I get the impression the DTB won’t get to just spunk this up the wall.

I hope they do get control, they can't be worse than the recent DTBs

Plus, of course, if we turn it down we got bust in 4-6 months

One good thing is unlike the hidden ones a few years back, these guys are talking about putting real money in to get control. Rather than about a third of the debt to take control.

Ridiculous amount of money but who is complaining? Haven't looked at how the money will be spent but even if the DTB waste some of it, it is a hell of a lot.

Ah we keep the freehold! Hmm. This is well thought through.

Looking at that 90% after 5 years they sort of are buying outright. About 14m per year is a fighting relegation budget in the championship. Which means we’d need more than just that. Also need to consider what happens after 5 years as the club could struggle to match that budget without constant capital. Which might be why they want to complete stadium etc. otherwise we could free fall.

If they can guarantee sustainability then it has to be yes. We can get top 6 in league one with current first choices all fully fit all season. With money, yeah much stronger by huge margins.
I have been very critical of the DTB, but in fairness they seem to have negotiated a very good deal here

This almost seems too good to be true so my one question is - how do we ensure the stadium is secure?
