Confimred new owners of Raeding Footbal Club

[Angry Shed Sex]

It's all subjective bollocks.

Madejski's gone down in my estimation for saying that. It's a low blow in what's been a very symbiotic relationship that's been hugely beneficial to both parties.

[Nameless]

he owns the current training ground, worth a lot when they build houses on it..

No he doesn't . That went to Anton when he bought in, and has now passed to the Thai's. Hopefully it's considered as an RFC asset and the sale will be ploughed back into the club.

My recollection is that the MOD attempted to place a covenant on the sale to prevent the land being used for building. They may not have succeeded though?

This is where it goes wrong, JM owns the current training ground and RFC pay rent for it, nothing at all wrong with that. It was made clear a long time ago. The same as it was made clear that he got extra aftee promotion and rhat TSI cleared a massive ammount owed to him.

Something made clear a long time ago may not be true now.....

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

That is clearly true.

[Yellowcoat]

Pretty sure that changed when TSI bought in.

Presuming making SJM co-Chairman is just a nod to him for all he's done in the past and was part of the deal when he sold? Because he owns no part of the club now?

Presumably, also may be staying on to help with the transition. Maybe until the end of the season?

Would have thought so, and probably more importantly provides continuity, a smoother transitional handing over of the reigns where the new owners can learn from SJM's 20+years experience.

The Chairman represents the shareholders, Once the other co-chairman is up to speed they can appoint her/him as the chairman and SJM can retire graciously.

They probably realise this is best from a PR point of view, SJM is popular with most of the fans and a face of the club so it keeps them on side.

Unless you're RB.

If he hadn't put money into the club but had it sitting in some nice investment account somewhere I wonder how much income he'd have had....

Still, he's had a helluva lot of good times through RFC so counting the financial loss would be a little

Or he could have put it into his printing interests.

Yes, printing (dying/dead media) or property (massive slump a few years back).
