Site Supporter MickyD Posted February 21, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2019 Just go back 2 or 3 pages and read from there. Kane57 came out with private and personal stuff about him and he bit; big time. He took it as a threat to his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don’t see how Ken can ask a great deal more for the club than when he took it on which £1.7m is So I can understand your logic but look at it a different way and take Ken’s profit out the equation for a minute. So your argument/point is the club is virtually in same position as when ken took over? at that time the value of the club , being of course equal to the the amount that a wiling bidder would pay , was £1. In reality it was more than £1 as some of the debts and creditors needed dealt with and wasn’t a clean slate but that’s pedantics Fast forward and again leaving kens share of the sale price out, we believe it’s been agreed to be sold to a seemingly savvy and commercially astute consortium for maybe £27m. They are not buying the club if it’s in the same situation as was when ken took over for a vastly inflated sum. So the inner workings and cash flows must be better than they were and they must see a huge upside in the deal even at the prices quoted. Trevor birch would have been paid a huge sum across the period as his is stature in the game he would also not have put a penny of his money in to even bridge wages or anything nothing at all. So comparing the two is for me off the mark here Again it it boils down to the fact that we never really knew how fucked the club was before ken took over and even now we are all just surmising as to the state of Of the club etc but the overwhelming fact is the club is worth today what someone is willing to pay for it. And if that means the greasy sweaty bastard from Monaco trousers £1.7m then so be it if it leaves us in a better position what are we actually moaning about? I am not pro ken and not anti ken I’m just looking at it subjectively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you underestimate the car crash in which he took on. I know he’s the owner, so was ED when he sold it for £1. Are we any further on than then? Not for me He’s only managed to ‘spin plates’ as ED has injected money as and when. How’s that much different from where ED was owner and Trevor Birch was the one trying to balance the books? Its my opinion of course but I can’t see any reason why the club is in a better state now than it was three years ago. As Mounts says it’s still a car crash, without any investment it appears that we are likely going to go bump. The can has been kicked down the road for three years on the back of Clough, Madine and loans from ED amongst other supporters I’m not a Ken hater, I don’t expect him to put any of his own money in or out daft like that but on the flip side I don’t see that he has done enough to turn his £1 investment into £1.7m. If we looked like we were safely going to stay in this league then he would have a case of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right, it’s worth what someone will pay, as things stand a deal hasn’t been done so we don’t know. Even if it’s done then we will still probably not get a full breakdown of the deal I guess another way to look at it, based on what has been reported is that if Ken doesn’t sell soon then it’s likeky that we will go into admin and an administrator will sell it off without trying to secure £1.7m profit for him. So in effect the new owner could wait for admin and save most of that £1.7m (less costs of administration) but inherit a 12 point deduction. In effect you could say Ken is saying give me £1.7m profit or save that and take the points deduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 21, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2019 Ken may have kept the wolf from the door, but the name of the club has been tarnished. If he can get himself a good pay out, then good for him, but I'll never be convinced he's got anywhere near to making us more sustainable. We all know it's been a tough job, but as birch says, the club doesn't seem to be in any better shape now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s his nature and there are thousands out there in business just like him. Only the ones who know when enough is enough come out unscathed. Kenneth will hopefully get what’s coming to him at some point but let’s hope that’s on another investment and not our club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I get that view and have said it myself in the past I’m now completely of the belief that every Cnut in the football world are in it for themselves anyway Ken’s just another one in a long long line of devious, underhanded characters who would sell their own mother to get ahead whilst his own reputation may not be recoverable the other self progressing fuckers who want to milk a football club for all its worth will quickly forget what went on when the new fellas start delivering the readies as agreed.
