In all seriousness, I am sure we are all hoping this will be the kick start of the training complex, and hopefully a new initiative for the new stadium.
I still don't know who got done for drink driving!

And you won't know for sure until they have the balls to say so themselves.
I'm afraid that's all we've got to live off is rumours at present. I thought the first was just a guess but now I'm not so sure and yes your right, I don't like the way he does it.I am not really sure where Al should get loads of credit for his amazing insight , basically my guess is he knows someone at the club or closely connected to the club who drops him snippets of info, Al then takes great pleasure by teasing us all into a frenzy by releasing this info. We all fall for it and its great fun. Sure some of it turns out to be true but it's no big deal or Sherlock Holmes stuff.
I and a few others used to get similar stuff when involved with the ST e.g. I had it on very good authority that EH was definitely coming back a good 24 hours before the media got all over it. I could (and prob should) have taken the 33-1 bookies odds at the time !!!
Anyway its all good fun and yes Al called this one right - now can he tell us what happens next cos we ALL want to know.
To quote the man himself, in the latest COWS press conference video, Eddie is asked how he feels now that Max is back to 100% control :
"...to have him back as sole owner, in my book, is very good news."
So maybe we can all stop worrying now
Probably right -- I'm not even sure if those values include capital assets, or if it's just the players.Not sure the calculation is as straightforward as that.
I imagine they made a lot of money on their investment.
Not sure how accurate this info is https://www.transfermarkt.com/premi...rein/wettbewerb/GB1/plus/?stichtag=2015-11-15
But if you look at the club's value at the time Peak6 bought a 25% stake (Nov 2015), it has increased from around E60M to about E240M today.
In other words, their 3-year investment would have paid them an annualized rate of return of about 100%.
That is nuts and nobody could complain about that.
...not just the TV money, we have players who are assets too!(someone could buy us and sell the lot!..but have to say that until we have a bigger stadium and improved training facilities we will not be an attractive proposition in terms of longer term development and investment...and as a PL side we are a possible opportunity?Pretty sure that is NOT how it works. The true value of a football club is what someone is willing to pay which is tempered by the eagerness to sell.
A team's value could plummet if it slides down a divvy or two (Bolton, Sunderland) and it depends also on how much debt it is carrying, so take all Premier League club valuations with a hundredweight of salt.
Clubs have broken many a millionaire (Palace did for at least two) and have been bought for inflated sums as well as the token quid.
Only the TV money makes Bournemouth seem to be worth a lot.
...Who knows what the original deal and buy out/buy back share options were in the agreement with Peak 6...
The thing is, the value of the assets (ie the players) would already be factored in to the purchase price of the club. A new owner who decided to sell the lot would not be the owner of such a valuable club if we were in a lower league....not just the TV money, we have players who are assets too!(someone could buy us and sell the lot!..but have to say that until we have a bigger stadium and improved training facilities we will not be an attractive proposition in terms of longer term development and investment...and as a PL side we are a possible opportunity?
I think Max has realised he has a Goldmine in Eddie. Eddie has always been good with developing youth and not as good with the older players, Max has realised, that If you get the best youth and Eddie can make them better you can sell for big cash, and I'm assuming he doesn't want to share with the Yanks.
Just an Idea.
Hopefully we can now move from the stratosphere to whatever is even higher !!!!!
