It's the only scenario that makes any sense. I've still not seen any other explanation for the loan which for them is relatively small fry.This is what I’ve thought is going on, and also heard from a few people.
They were 100% wanting to buy the club, but something scared them off during due diligence. (Not the fan group statements, as some Donald apologists keep spinning!)
They have probably decided to play the longer game, and now have Donald over a barrel, ready to take the club for far less.
Obviously anything could change depending on if the loan is paid back.
