Why would R&M or MSP agree to take a haircut when between them they have sufficient security to cover their debt? Not happening IMO. The only people taking a haircut are Moshiri and 777.

They don't have sufficient wealth required to own a Premier League club. That being said, these are exactly the types of people we should have as non-executive directors, proper business people who also happen to be blues. Them along with the likes of Sir Terry Leahy, Mark Carney and Andy...

What 'false brick look? The facade is made of real bricks.

Maybe we're all doing him a great disservice and he's a genius after all!? lol lol

I sometimes think this is part of some great big masterplan to get the stadium funded & finished due to the issues we've had obtaining mainstream finance...and then I realise it's Moshiri we're dealing with!

Says that their stake was written down to 'close to zero', so assume that means they got nothing.

Couldn't be sure, I tried scanning the Main Stand but was difficult to tell from where I was sat. It didn't look like it but couldn't say for certain.

Yeah, pretty certain that's what it's for.

I'll guarantee that is what 777 were/are in discussions with BlueOwl Capital for. Selling a stake in the stadium to generate the funds they need to complete the takeover. BlueOwl will have no interest in owning a football club. However, they would, i imagine, be interested in a property deal...

In your opinion, would this person/ group be a better option than 777? Obviously it wouldn't take much for them to be, but is it someone we could all get behind?

It wouldn't because MSP as an entity would hold the majority of the shares, not Moshiri as an individual. So despite Moshiri holding some shares in the MSP consortium, it wouldn't make him majority shareholder of the club.

Most probably. That being said, I think there's more chance of Putin being disposed of and replaced with a 'friendlier replacement' than us being bought out by some wealthy owner/ consortium and making us competetive.

Well I didn't necessarilly mean getting Usmanov back involved, the war in Ukraine is having a negative effect on all manor of things, one of which is undoubedtly Moshiri's access to cash due to his investments in Russian related companies. Usmanov may continue to be a sanctioned individual but...

If only someone would just shoot Putin in the back of the head, would probably be the quickest way of resolving our current problems!

I've got two schools of thought on this (1). Why would Moshiri give away a controlling stake for the same amount he was originally giving away 25%? Does this get around the original issue with R&M? Surely they will have more of an objection to this given they had issue with the original 25%...
