It's possible, though the surrounding tax planning could be problematic. They could also take up new convertible preference shares, which would be non-voting (and thus not change the current ownership structure), but which could be converted to ordinary voting shares at a future date, and thus allowing them to gain control.

I'm basically in the dark till I see more detail on this.

All they are doing is investing money to people who have made questionable decisions especially this season and there are no signs that the latest manageable appoint will get promotion in fact the chances are nil so why give them funds to make more questionable decisions?

Good post. I dare say you could buy most L1 clubs for the rumoured £12m.

In fact when SD bought the club his initial payment was £15m. These guys have almost matched that but it’s to go into the club (or so we’re told). It has to be a good thing.

I think the board are being cute by saying it’s going in to infrastructure and scouting. It’s better than announcing we’re going on a player shopping spree. If SD really was struggling to put more in and this allows us to even spend say £2-3m total in January that could be enough to boost us into the promotion spots.

Exactly mate.

Show me proof of the owners leaking news of a full takeover.

Like so much on this forum, it is drivel that has become fact. The blame lies with the fanzines themselves who were guilty of getting over excited.
The club / the owners said nothing of the sort.

Jesus wept.

Dont be daft. Of course they did. Roker Report and SD share gang bang Maccy Ds together. They wouldnt have posted it without his full go ahead... no denials either in the weeks that followed.. if it was wrong Donald could easily have played it down on twitter in a flash.

Ofcourse it was takeover Donald himself even said he’s not sure if him or CM would be wanted/needed and if they are he didn’t know what capacity it would be in. Why would these guys just want to give money to someone who’s been failing the club for 18months.
