The story is strangely quiet on the figure the bloke has paid for them. Hadn't Demin loaned them a shed load of cash at high interest rates as well?

Edit - Sky seem to suggest it was £100m+

What appears a little odd is to invest over £250m into a business then sell it for c.£100m?

Depends, he could be on a retainer as a consultant. He could also be a shareholder of the new owners company. The circa £150m could have been written off partially or wholly over the years as a tax loss and or any interest or dividends deemed by the seller as payment enough and the selling price acceptable based on the club and irs realistic value and subsequent selling price. Nothing is straight forward when there are telephone numbers involved.
