£10m would be an underestimate potentially.  If taking over a company, the value is the debt position of the company plus any payment made for the shares.  Virgin Media are being touted for a takeover which would be worth £13bn, although it would only be £6bn ish for the company itself.

If you purchased 100% of STFC in normal practise you'd expect the deal to be quoted as worth around £13m due to the state of our balance sheet.

Maybe part of the deal means that the Wills' keep their interest in the club by not getting paid off entirely?

EDIT: Also the CVA accounts for a fair few million in the balance sheet. In effect paying the 900k would wipe out over £5m in debt iirc.

£10m is probably pretty good. Obviously that would need to be backed up by better business acumen and a decent ground development etc.

I don't think that Sturrock is a quitter though, he will probably want to hang about as he could do something here given the right resources and he will probably wait to see what happens.

But I think we all have to remember that working for the current board is probably something totally different for Sturrock, he has had problems with Chairmen is the past (Weds & Southampton) but this lot are a whole new ball game, we have a chief exec that is not allowed to make any decisions, a chairman that don't get involved in decision making, and an advisor to the majority shareholders who does not have a place on the board but makes all the decisions with everyone running scared of him, and of course everytime they attempt PR it is an own goal.

So really this club is probably unique for Sturrock, and of course coupled with the fact that there is supposed to be a takeover going though but the completion date keep's getting moved and Sturrock needs new players it is not surprising he is sounding off a bit.

Damn right - he'll probably fuck off to Carlisle now (taking Blair with him). I suppose it's closer to sweatyland.

I don't agree with a lot you say usually but that's a good post. I think the main problem is he just wants to know where he stands - its not a case of give me money or I'm off
