Is that "other parties" in this particular deal? Can't decide whether you're suggesting the margins and degree of comfort are large or marginal
Degree of comfort we should have is high. These are people collectively willing to invest enough that they can make their decision today because they know that however big our problems, they can accommodate them. I was told by someone close to the deal that they're prepared to put in X millions (a general amount) to get us to where we should be. It's a lot of money.
Any billionaires on this consortium? (5th time of asking, and you dodging)
I know that wasn't aimed at me but all I can say is that being a single billionaire is irrelevant in a consortium, where the collective amount they are prepared to spend (regardless of their net wealth) is realistic and enough to get where they all agree they will make a profit.
And as we've seen, a lone billionaire in charge who isn't willing to put any money in is a terrible proposition too. Man City have spent about a billion in 10 years, so if you think anyone would be throwing that level of money at us, even collectively, then you're always going to be disappointed.
You shouldn't be though.
If it did we’d still have the debts cleared I’d assume, and offers would therefore come in so it wouldn’t be the end of the world.
Yeah I think that even if paying off the debt is tied to getting the deal done, and it isn't done until sold, it's reasonable to assume he's willing to commit that even if it wasn't Stewart Donald.
But again, we shouldn't worry overly on that point, it was literally described to me as a formality. Unless we're due to pay someone £100m next year (RODDERS? EVERTON? DAVE THE RAVE?) they're going in with their eyes open.
