The Ridsdale article is typical Ridsdale bias and the same can be said about Tans article. Ridsdale strength for me is he knew his football and with the help of Dave Jones made us a secure Championship football club. Ridsdale weakness was he was not a money man and had no money. He had to sell for us to survive. So with that disadvantage he did well in a way to keep us challenging in the Championship.
Lets go back a bit before we return to the present. It common knowledge we were saved by Sam Hamman while we waited for someone to close our doors in the Dungeon League. Our rise up the leagues to knocking o the Premier was a dream. Our Nemesis of not having any more money woke us up. This led to the takeover of the Malaysians after a brief ownership of PMG.
Now its claimed in the Tan article he came is and basically paid off the "secured" loans to become our owner. He first became 51% share owner giving him the key to the door and later bought more shares to secure his ownership. So while we are here lets bring in the Langston debt. That debt was "unsecured" and is the reason while it has not been paid to date. Lets just explain what an Unsecured debt it. If you give someone £100 without a contract then they are not immediately obliged to pay you. You would have to go through the court process, win judgement then they will be obliged to pay you. if when you handed over the £100 that someone gave you their car then you have in a way secured your £100. The Langston loan was secured against nothing, hence why it is unsecured, and for them to get their money they would have to go to court of which they have not. This is why that debt is still around.
Now when Tan came in it is believed our debt was around £50m. This I believe includes the unsecured Langston debt. Since then we have had 2 Premier seasons with its riches but yet we find ourselves now fighting a relegation battle to League one with a squad that is worth pennies compared to what he inherited. I'm not sure what the debt is now and I don't care because its all owed to him. Personally I believe its all his own fault for allowing it to generate because his ownership is turning out to be a f%^&ing disaster.

That's how I read it; and so long as he honours that, it could be argued the debt (or the bulk of it) is his and not the club's?
I'm sure others with great knowledge of finance (or an agenda) might say differently?

So many contradictions in one post.
Langstone (Sam) has been paid off. Did Sam actually put any money in? His loans were against the club paid by the 600k a year wage he took from the club.
Granted he had to have equity to enable that and get us going.

What don't you understand about unsecured loans. Langston/Sam debt was not secured against the club at all. The debt was £30m so divide that £600k means he was here for over 30 years. Right.
And yes the club does still owe Sam/Langston.

Explain that Ian?
Tan paid off all the secured and unsecured debts. There’s a case about the presidency outstanding.
Sam was paid a lot more than he actually put in. If he is still after money from our club it contradicts anything said that he loves our club.
