Assuming the premiership deal doesn't come off it amounts to a price of about £5M all in doesn't it. Isn't it better to pay that way than all up front?
Trouble is Joy continually moves the goalposts, at some point Hoffman has to stop and let SISU sweat some more, I'm convinced this deal ain't happening anytime soon, not till after the JR anyhow.
Simple, if the bonus payment lapses after a few years and most of the payout mentioned is conditional on the club getting to the Premier league (or maybe even top half of PL).
In the absence of conditions being made public the headline figure means very little, it may simply be virtually...
Thing is you are taking all this religion stuff deadly seriously because you believe in it, whereas the more sensible posters (the atheists) can take the piss mercilessly because there is nothing to respect or give credence to. Tough.
That is actually quite a well reasoned post.
Unfortunately it aligns with the scenario I was concerned might happen, SISU hang on for years and (maybe) take £.5M out of the club each year in L2. No ambition but to mitigate their losses.
