If you estimate that the players we have are worth,say £5M, and Sisu want £20M to bugger off, then it's a no brainer.
They would be better off waiting, because Sisu have no intention of investing in players, they are simply serving the losses by selling players. We are (most likely) going to be relegated, so next year's income will be significantly lower than now. Very soon, there will be no assets to sell to offset the operating losses. When that tipping point is reached, what will sisu do? Their intended safety net was the ricoh, but that is not going to be in their hands, thankfully.
If there is no investment, we will not get off this downward spiral. There is no certainty of success, admittedly, but the club needs investment, and every penny will count, so why declare your capability to a hedge fund that wants to recover as much as possible?
I use this figure as an example, not as a sum that is on the table, but why pay £15M for something you could get for £5m, if you only have £30m to play with? We do not know the wealth of any potential backers, indeed if there are even any at all. At the moment , it is all rumour and supposition, which makes the vitriol (towards Hoffman, Keys, etc) as rather unjustifiable.
We can only wait and hope, but fair play to those who are trying to do something about it, publicly or privately, and within whatever means they have at their disposal, whether they be bankers or be cleaners - we are all Sky Blue at heart,
Love you all, really!
