Thread to talk about football and wednesday in general

No surprise. I think Kris W said a minimum of 30 M was needed to ensure the 25 p creditor threshold was met to avoid the additional minus 15 points next season.

It would be a big gamble to think that available purchase money alternately invested in the team/ground would ensure relegation to L2 is avoided if starting on - 15 in August.

While galling to reward DC for his failures, anyone with enough money and a long term view/plan for the club won’t care and may be smart enough to structure the business arrangements to take SWFC losses as a tax deduction against other elements they own.
Personally I think our new owner will be American- the Welcome to Wrexham experiment has shown what can be done with a sensible plan and competent people in the correct roles. The magnitude and big names of their sponsorship being a perfect example.

I think its 50 million the asking price and about 100million of debt and moving forward ..we probably need an investment of about 500 million to be ingnus up to scratch but that's not happening nor will.the rules of the elite let it happen .

There's a lot of numbers being thrown about at the minute, as youd expect.
I would imagine we'd be sold closer to the 30-40m valuation as there is so much debt to clear. It needs to be a sensible deal for all financial parties involved.
As much as Chansiri deserves to be dragged around the stadium, we can't rob him.


Simon Jordan claims to have been part of a consortium that looked at the viability of Wednesday as a purchase.
He claims they decided against it as it would take around 5 years of rebuilding and investment to make the club a Championship contender.

That sounds legitimate to me given the detrimental effect of Chansiri’s ownership.
