Of course it does. If the ground isn't in the FC he doesn't own it does he?
You've got it. How I don't know, but let's leave it there

Would you rent your house to someone then give him 50% if you sold it?
Don't worry not another tit for tat, but you did say that it not being in the FC doesn't affect what the Prince owns, it does. As you've just said, it wasn't part of the deal and not in the FC, so the Prince doesn't own it.No because that wasn't part of the deal which is why it's not in the FC.
He still owns half the FC even if the ground doesn't belong to it so your claim that he technically owns half but in reality doesn't, makes no sense.
He actually sold half of BL for £1. A dormant company, which then had the FC share. The Prince put in £10m initially to match KM's investment ( transferring loans to shares).
The hotel is in a separate company to the ground etc.
You said it not being in the FC doesn't affect what the Prince owns, it does. As you've just said, it wasn't part of the deal and not in the FC, so the Prince doesn't own it.
It makes a lot of sense. He might own half the FC but if he doesn't have anything to do with SU Ltd and the ground he doesn't own half, in reality, does he? Otherwise McCabe would have wanted more than a quid for half BL Ltd, at a guess.
...and when McCabe generously 'wrote off' the £34 million owed, SUFC Ltd gained an asset of roughly the same value, ( in some people's opinion) Bramall Lane!
Eureka!
Is anyone able to peer through all the accounting smoke and mirrors and confirm how much brass the prince has stumped up in each glorious year of his involvement?
£10m in the first year/18 months, £4m last season, December I think.
Lol. The ground isn't in SUFC's account.
The transfer of the ground is an entirely different transaction to the capitalisation of loans.
Sort it out with Barney, you're on the same wavelength.
Not that he doesn't own 50% of the FC, but that he doesn't have an overall stake of 50% whole when the ground is under SU Ltd and nothing to do with him. It's quite simple really, if the ground is nothing to do with you, you certainly don't have a 50% stake in the club (as a whole, not SUFC Ltd).Eh? What's your point, that he doesn't own 50% of the FC, technically, because the ground isn't in there?
If it's not in the FC balance sheet he doesn't own it. It doesn't affect his ownership of the FC via BL and UTB LLC
Ooo..where's it gone!
Are we talking about the same SU Ltd?

It's under SU Ltd and not the FC.Ooo..where's it gone!

It's like being double teamed by the Chuckle Brothers.
Oh dear Sean. So you really think he owns half the club (not SUFC Ltd, calm down) as a whole, when the ground is nothing to do with him? What's a club without a ground?Of course he has a 50% stake. FFS, The SUFC IS the club.

Which then takes you into the realm of pervy fetish.....there are sites for that sort of interest, unless of course there's a small interest group already in existence on here?
You said SUFC. You need to decide which company you are going to use as an example.
Mind you, the point was wrong whichever company you decide suits your comment.
Fucks sake, guess what my nightmare is going to contain tonight, why couldn't you say Kelly Brook or something like that![]()

Been there....
So with regards my actual post, do you believe it or not?I wish I had a club.
What do you think? I thought it was a wrestling term, but you've taught me something new![]()
What, the dream or the reality? If it's the reality then you sir, are a lucky bastard![]()
I really dreamt it![]()
