If I was the Malaysians and this is probably very naive of me because I haven't been involved in business at all, but if I took over the club the first thing I would do is pay off all the debt immediately. Avoid any further interest payments. If it's possible that is.
Then they have a club with a 28,000 seater state of the art stadium, plenty of room for expansion, in one of the fastest growing capital cities in Europe, on the brink of Premiership football, with a massive catchment area and would be debt free if the debt was paid off immediately.
I still think right now we are one of the best footballing investments in the world. The Malaysians are just holding out because they know they can get a better price. It's a patient game and one which Ridsdale and the Malaysians both know what they're doing.
