So. Presuming no one is going to front 15 million, or anything like it for CFC... what does anyone think is DA's plan to make his exit?

Personally, I suspect now he has sold anything worth selling, he plans to get out, as I can't see any reason for him to stay financially or otherwise.

I suspect he may sell the club for a nominal fee, to someone he knows won't ask questions, and leave the new owners to pay him back his 9 million with interest. Though this is only a guess, and I have no insight other than that.

Any ideas?

He will probably hang until Ched is sold, players out of contract then sell

Yep. I wonder if GC was told of the impending clearout, and was told to expect to start next year with a fresh start after a summer sale.

Sounds pretty plausible to me.

However I'm led to believe DA actually believes there's more saleable talent within the squad - bizarre until we remember he's the same bloke who dubbed Ariyibi some poor man's Ronaldo!

Dave Allen has the money and ultimately its his choice. Wanting money back and/or with interest is the problem for me. How many other lower league clubs have to do this. Secondly I think it would be helpful if someone from the club actually explained WHY £15m. This is prohibitive and is dragging the club further down.

I think Donohue will develop as he has done. Ricky German - big question. McGuire maybe in a year's time, who knows. Who would have thought Darikwa would make the step up 5 years ago.

..Interestingly (or perhaps not) the player Dion can become will probably be playing for Millwall tomorra. Shane Ferguson. Bluddy good player he is.

I know nothing about finance or business, but I do know that the one thing he hasn't sold off yet is the land, and I also know you could build a lot of houses on it. To my limited commercial understanding, that is the only 'end game' that makes sense of everything that has gone on.

Apparently he's turned down flat a large bid from a Swedish consortium
